Olivia explained, “This is a misunderstanding The lady likes Eugene, so it must be her who took the initiative to hug him. Eugene’s hand must be on her shoulder to push her away.”
An aghast George looked at her. In his eyes, she looked like she had been bewitched because she still could defend Eugene even when such evidence was right in front of her. “You really believe him, huh? Even though you have seen it for yourself, you still trust him?”
Olivia sighed weakly. “I’m serious. If you don’t believe me, he sent me a message this morning.” As she said that, she gave George her cell phone after she found Eugene’s message. “I’m going with Azalea to the hospital today, but don’t worry because I have arranged for someone to come along. The three of us will head over together,” she said as she repeated the words.
“You see, it’s three of them heading to the hospital. It has to be the reporters stirring the pot. Once Eugene finds out who it is, he’ll cut them some slack.”
George felt slightly resentful. “You believe whatever he says! Eugene knows that the woman is trying to seduce him, but he still allows her to do so?! All hell will break loose sooner than later. How many men can resist such a proactive woman?”
Olivia suppressed the sudden wave of irritability as she calmly replied, “As long as his heart belongs to someone he likes, everything will be okay.”
George replied in anger, “Fine. You don’t have to explain anything on his behalf. Call him now and ask him to come back. I’ll speak to him myself.” Olivia helplessly acknowledged, “Okay, but don’t you panic too.” I’m also interested to know more.
At that, she produced her cell phone to call Ethan, but he was engaged on the line. She cut the call and said, “I’m sure he’s busy. Let’s wait for a while.”
“It’s more like he doesn’t want to answer your call.” George sneered. Olivia couldn’t be bothered to say anything more and tried to call again after a while, but Eugene’s phone was now switched off!
George had a look that read ‘Didn’t I tell you?’ as he commented, “It’s obvious he doesn’t know how to explain the entire matter to you. Either it’s inconvenient for him or he doesn’t want to do so.” There was a deep frown on her face.
That was people’s true behavior. When they firmly believed in something, their reaction to situations would be out of anyone’s expectations repeatedly. Not to mention, the person also denied her existence.
No matter how hard she tried to defend Eugene, she knew that she would have uncontrollable thoughts as she started to question her trust in him.
North was operating the cell phone at lightning speed as he continuously texted Eugene. ‘Daddy, go online. You better come home fast and explain the issue clearly to Mommy’ ‘Uncle George says you are a b*stard and Mommy can’t defend you anymore.”
‘Quickly come back. Otherwise, I won’t recognize you as my daddy!” However, even though North’s messages flooded Eugene’s phone like a wave of the sea, there was still no response. Olivia’s phone suddenly rang when the three of them were in a state of haze.
Olivia and North’s eyes lit up because they thought it was Eugene calling them, but it turned out to be from an unfamiliar number.
The light in her eyes diminished, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her. Yet, she still answered the phone, albeit with resentment. “Hello, who’s this?”
“It’s me, Olivia.” It was Eugene on the other end of the line, which left Olivia on the verge of happy tears as she was overthinking earlier. “Why didn’t you answer my calls?”
“I’m sorry. I forgot to charge my phone last night. I only realized it when I wanted to give you a call.” He was actually on the phone for the entire afternoon as he was being inundated with calls from other people.
Firstly, it was Brian who called, saying that he saw the online article and gave Eugene an earful. Then, his own mother rang him and lectured him about the article. After that, Curtis, Alex, and Jewel all gave him a piece of their minds over the phone..
Everyone wanted to take the opportunity to resolve the incident before Olivia even realized what had happened, but Eugene was already dealing with it after Brian’s call.
His phone did not have enough juice, so it died seconds after he ended his call with Jewel. “Then, whose phone are you using to call me?”
As soon as Olivia asked that, she was instantly sure that the phone belonged to Azalea, and it caused resentment to grow in her heart.
