Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 881

Eugene was about to leave, but Azalea stopped him before spreading her arms. "Can you hug me, Eugene? Just for one moment."

He eyed her coldly. "I have a girlfriend. So, no."

She closed her eyes, and the tears kept falling down her cheeks. After a momentary pause, she said in a broken voice, "I know, but we might never meet again. Can't you just hug me like I'm your sister?"

Azalea stared at him in disbelief, her eyes glistening with tears. "I know. You don't have to keep reminding me. But I've liked you for a long time, so I can't possibly cut off all those feelings right away. Can't you just grant me one last wish?"
