Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1381

Chapter 1381 Jealousy

Olivia pouted. "We still have to look for someone George likes. If it's your sister, just forget about it."

The furrow between Eugene's eyebrows deepened. It wasn't because of what Olivia had said about Penny, but he greatly disliked her coming to George's defense. She was well aware of George's feelings for her—not only would he dislike Penny, he wouldn't like anyone else either. "Relationships will develop over time. Just because your senior doesn't like her now, it doesn't mean that he wouldn't like her in the future. You have to give them a chance to try things out."

"It's not like I'm stopping them. George was the one who told me to send them away. He clearly doesn't like them either."

"Then, we can help him."

Olivia whipped around to shoot him a glare. "Actually, I don't like it either."

Eugene froze in place. Don't like it?

He hurriedly strode forward to catch up to her, ultimately unable to stop himself from asking, "You don't like looking for a girlfriend for your senior? Don't tell me you're trying to be his second choice."

At his words, Olivia immediately stopped in her tracks. She whirled around to look at him, her eyes turning cold. "I just signed the marriage papers with you, and I have your child in my belly. Do you think that it's appropriate to say that to me?"

Eugene immediately fell silent. Realizing that he had lost his cool, he hastily reached out to grab her hand. "Olivia, don't be angry. I was just joking with you."

Olivia shook him off immediately, her voice cold as she growled, "It's not funny at all!"

She didn't wish to argue with him immediately after returning home, especially with so many people in the house. However, although she could avoid a fight, she was still unable to suppress her anger. After greeting Hector and Ellen who were sitting in the living room, she informed them that she felt exhausted and wanted to head back to get some rest.

At the sight of Olivia's displeased expression and Eugene's guilty look, Ellen asked urgently, "Eugene, what happened?"

Eugene only brushed her off dismissively. "It's nothing."

Upon seeing that he was about to follow her, Ellen hurriedly reminded him, "Don't irk Olivia, you hear? She's pregnant, so her emotions aren't that stable. You should go easy on her a little."

"Yeah, I know." At that, Eugene swiftly went after Olivia in long strides.

George's gaze followed their retreating figures closely, but he was still unable to do anything.

Ellen let out a sigh. "Why can't that brat knock it off? He's always making Olivia angry."

Hector chuckled and said reassuringly, "Don't worry. They're not little kids anymore; all couples fight every now and then."

She said, "That son of mine has never been in a relationship, so even though he's given his heart to Olivia, I'm worried that he'll say the wrong thing."

He replied, "Olivia is the same; she's quite stubborn because of how much we spoiled her. Let's just stay out of their business. Young couples get into arguments just as quickly as they make up. Who knows? They might've already reconciled by the time we're done making dinner."

Ellen nodded in agreement. "You have a point."

"Come on, let's start making dinner." Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

As Hector reentered the kitchen, Ellen trailed after him. "Let's make some roasted pork loin. Isn't that your favorite?"

"There's no need to go through all that trouble. You've already made enough. Aren't you tired?"

With a gentle look in her eyes, Ellen smiled and said, "Not at all. I feel happy when I see all of you enjoying the food I make."

Hector only gazed at her silently, a smile playing at the corners of his lips. While the two downstairs were brimming with affection, the other couple upstairs were a stark contrast—one talking his mouth off, and the other refusing to say a word.

As Eugene observed Olivia, who was sprawled on the bed and refusing to acknowledge him, he began to mull over the reason why she had lost her temper, and if they had any problems between them. However, the answer was no. He loved her, and she loved him. Hence, was she angry because he

spoke out of line? If that was the case, he decided to be honest with her.

After arriving at this conclusion, he grabbed her hand and begged pitifully, "Don't be angry, darling, I know I said the wrong thing. I thought that you didn't want your senior to get a girlfriend because… you still like him."

When Olivia turned around to glare at him, he hastily added, "N-No, I know you don't like him that way. You only see him as your brother. I just didn't think it through earlier because I was a little… jealous."
