Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 697

Eugene spoke with a blank expression. "Everyone has their bottom line, Penny. I only attacked your mother for the things that she did, and I've never once got you involved in this. However, I can't say much if we share different viewpoints now. I've always treated you like family, but it's fine if you hate me. I just hope that you choose to attack those who are involved and not hurt those who are innocent."

Penny let out a hearty laugh. "I can't believe you're still worried about Olivia at this point."

"No! I'm worried about you. If you do anything to my wife and son, I'm not sure what they might do to you!" Eugene said with a straight face.

As Penny glared at him, she couldn't stop her tears from trickling down her face. She left the Nolan Residence without saying anything else. Eugene let out a long sigh before he turned to glare at Connor. "Go punish yourself!" Eugene ordered.

"Got it, Mr. Nolan," Connor replied.

"You'll be done if such a thing ever happens again!" Eugene growled.

"Got it!" Connor replied once more. Eugene headed upstairs only to find a slim figure standing on the third step from the bottom of the stairs. "Why did you come down?" Eugene asked.

Olivia wrapped her arms around him as she gazed at him with a rather amused smile on her face. "I came down to take a look because you were taking so long," she explained. He chuckled as he stepped forward to stop in front of her. "Were you worried about me?" He slipped his hands into hers.

She heartlessly pulled her hands away before staring down at him for a few seconds. "You shameless man," she hissed. "Why would I be worried about you?"

"Why don't you say something sweet to please me for once?" he chuckled. "Would you believe it if I said it?" she asked in return.
