Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 997 George’s Suspicions

Olivia's nose became sour as she couldn't resist grabbing his hand. She didn't know how to comfort him or explain the entire matter to him.

There was no reason or explanation that she could use for love.

"I'm sorry, George. I never planned on falling in love. In fact, Eugene has been wooing me for quite some time now as I've been refusing him. I won't dare to take the next step either.

However, I agreed to be his girlfriend in a short, few months. I was apprehensive, but after mingling with him, I noticed that he's a good
