Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 1344

Chapter 1344 The Only Unmarried Member of the Baker Family

Ace's mouth gaped awkwardly and he looked as if someone slapped him in the face. He was left dumbfounded for a while and too afraid to say a word in response.

He could already anticipate the words that would follow from Eugene. "You're not the one getting married, and yet you're making decisions on your own?"

To spare himself from further humiliation, Ace chose to remain silent.

Observing the tense exchange, Finley furrowed his brow. While somewhat wary of Eugene, he had never truly witnessed his tactics. Eugene's words struck him as impolite, sounding as if he were scolding his own son.

Deep down, Finley secretly looked down on Ace for his lack of assertiveness. After all, Ace was Eugene's brother-in-law. How could he allow himself to be silenced by Eugene?

Seizing the opportunity to assert himself, Finley felt a newfound sense of superiority over Ace and naturally interjected into the conversation. "President Nolan, you must be joking. How can Ace get married when he's your brother-in-law?"

As Eugene reached for the box of cigarettes on the table, Finley's words reached his ears. He slowly lifted his gaze and glanced at Finley.

In that casual glance, Finley could feel the immense pressure emanating from the man seated across from him.

Eugene didn't utter a word, but his presence alone conveyed an unspoken power.

The room fell into a chilling stillness, and the silence was so thick that even the faintest sound would echo.

Eugene calmly extracted a cigarette from the pack and placed it between his lips before igniting it with a flick of his lighter. He inhaled deeply, his cheeks hollowing, and then slowly uttered, "Didn't he already divorce?"

Finley was momentarily stunned, struggling to process Eugene's words. As he contemplated Eugene's previous statement, the realization slowly dawned on him—either Eugene believed that Ace harbored intentions of forming a marriage alliance with his family, or Eugene himself wanted Ace to take Nathan's place in establishing a marital connection with his family.

As these thoughts filled his mind, Finley felt his anger surging. His face flushed with suppressed frustration as he questioned, "President Nolan, what do you mean by all this?"

Lexie, who had been observing Eugene intently, was also taken aback. She gazed at Eugene with a perplexed expression.

Looking at Finley, Eugene maintained an impassive expression and replied, "Given that the foundation of your families' cooperation lies in a marriage alliance, Ace is the only unmarried member of the Baker Family. Nathan, don't you have a girlfriend?"

Nathan fought back a burst of laughter upon hearing Eugene's words. However, mindful of the peculiar yet serious atmosphere in the room, he managed to restrain himself and swiftly replied, "Yes, Uncle. I do have a girlfriend."

He was already aware of his parents' divorce.
