Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 1140

Chapter 1140 Sweet Sixty

She sighed and ranted, "I don't even know how things are going between him and Jewel. I've been haunted by regret for the past few days. Had I not brought it up, they probably would've made up already."

Eugene consoled, "No need to blame yourself over that. The matter's a ticking bomb anyway since Jewel would know about it eventually. Rather than surprising her in the future, she should know about it sooner. Making up or breaking up, it's solely up to them. Besides, they wouldn't be happy if their relationship was forced. Alex's concerns aren't unreasonable at all."

With a sigh, Olivia continued, "I know, but still, I can't get over it…"

He replied, "Alright, alright. Stop sighing. I'll invite Mom with Jewel tomorrow so they'll have more chances to get along. They'll eventually move on, I believe."

The next day, Hayden planned a banquet for his mother, Prunella Sanders, for her sixtieth birthday at Fairview Hotel. After all, it was a great event in so many years. According to his mother, who was sad over having no children-in-law or grandchildren, all her birthdays were simply brushed past. Therefore, he wanted to do something nice for her sweet sixty.

After Eugene and Olivia got off work, they immediately headed to Fairview Hotel, while Ellen purposely had Jewel accompany her, which the latter naturally could not refuse.

As the party of guests arrived at the hotel, Hayden and Aubrey enthusiastically welcomed them.


"Mrs. Nolan, you're here as well!"

"You should probably head in there soon. Prunella was just talking about how she misses you."

Ellen said with a smile, "You've never changed, Aubrey. You're still as young as ever."

"What are you talking about? I can hardly walk now!" Aubrey laughingly jested. "Come. I'll walk you in. Prunella is in the resting room; Stefanie's here as well! A sisterly reunion for a sisterly catch-up, huh?"

Ellen was slightly taken aback when she was told that Stefanie was present. She turned around and held Jewel's hand. "Jewel, why don't you stay with Olivia for a bit? I'll come back in a sec."

Jewel answered, "Don't worry about me, Godmother. Take your time in there."

After talking to Olivia for a minute, Ellen then entered the resting room.

Olivia was visibly suspicious. If Stefanie's already here, where is Alex? She turned to Eugene with a confused gaze.

He assured her, "He'll come. He must be caught up in something else."

Although Jewel did not hear Eugene mention any names, she figured it had to be Alex. She had seen the evidence he showed her, and if the woman was indeed her mother, she would be utterly speechless. Though, that was merely a baseless instinct that she was unlikely—even reluctant—to believe as it pertained to her mother.
