Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 679

Olivia then reached her arm out to tug on Eugene's arm when she saw that he still seemed rather down. "Stop putting on that glum look! This whole issue is dealt with now, and it's so rare for you, Alex, and Hayden to get together. Shouldn't you guys be partying hard tonight?" Olivia asked.

Eugene finally allowed himself to calm down a little upon hearing Olivia's gentle tone. He held her hand without saying much. "It's hard to get me drunk," he muttered after a while.

"I'll train you from now on!" Olivia offered.

"Sure. I'll drink a little more each night," Eugene replied. Olivia nodded in response. Alex wanted to explain himself a little more, but no matter how much he tried to explain himself, he wouldn't be able to change whatever just happened, so he figured that he would just keep quiet.

Hayden, on the other hand, kept his mouth shut the entire time. He wanted to go to Nicole, but he was worried that the others might think that he was straying away from the group. At the same time, he was concerned since it was getting dark outside. "It's getting late, so I think I should go out to look for them. You guys can start drinking first!" He stood up as he spoke.

"Once you find them, you should get them to stay in a hotel first. They can head home the next day," Alex suggested. Since he was the one who brought them over, it wouldn't look good if anything happened to them.

"Okay." Hayden left after that. When Alex met Eugene's gaze, he tried to explain himself again. "Hayden asked me out to ski one day before the new year, and I told him that I was going to meet you. He asked me where you were, and I told him you were at Promise Island. I asked him if he wanted to join, and he said no. But after that, he changed his mind for some reason, and the three of them—Penny, Nicole, and Hayden—showed up at my front door the next morning. I didn't think too much and just brought them over. I thought it'd serve as a surprise for you, but it seems like it was more of a shock." Before Eugene could say anything else, Ellen spoke up first. "It's fine. You're Alex, right?"

"Yeah. How are you doing, Mrs. Nolan?" Alex said.
