Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 1383 George’s Dilemma

The tightness in his throat that Eugene felt earlier was immediately replaced with a darkened expression when he heard Olivia's words—criticizing his manhood was practically like playing with fire.

His hand still holding hers, he leaned in closer to her with a dangerous smile playing on his lips. "Go on! Say it again. I'm listening."

At first, Olivia was only planning to tease him, but his fierce demeanor startled her for a moment. However, she soon calmed down and flashed a bright smile at him. "What are you trying to do?"

Eugene growled viciously in reply, "Let me jog your memory for you; did you forget how you were begging for forgiveness underneath me?"

Olivia's dark eyes bore into his without any trace of fear, but the emotion was rather filled with provocation. "Then, do you not want a daughter anymore?"

Eugene froze at her words. No wonder this woman is flirting with me. How dare she try to torment me?

Mustering all his strength to suppress the sudden urge that arose within him, Eugene gritted his teeth in anger. "Just you wait, you minx. Wait until my daughter is born."

Olivia smiled at him smugly. "Gene… Don't forget to work out until then."

Eugene was instantly rendered speechless, filled with the urge to teach her a lesson.

As dinnertime rolled around, things turned out as Hector and Ellen had expected—Eugene led Olivia downstairs, their hands intertwined and their eyes filled with smiles, making it clear that they had made up.

Ellen let out a helpless laugh upon seeing that he had indeed guessed correctly. She secretly cast a glance at Hector, only to meet his gaze. As soon as their gazes clashed, they shared a knowing smile.

"Come and eat," Ellen ushered.

One by one, they took their seats. As time went on, the number of people in their household had begun to increase, and now Penny had joined them along with the usual people. As she hoped to find out where George sat to pick a seat close to him, she did not take a seat even after the others had already done so.

To her dismay, George deliberately avoided her every single time. After this situation repeatedly occurred, she slowly began to lose confidence, and even if there was an empty seat near him, she would not have the nerve to take it as he would come up with every reason in the book to switch seats whenever she was next to him. Hence, she could only settle for sitting opposite him, reassuring herself that she could still look at him at the very least.

On the other hand, George was truly fed up. These past few days felt like a living hell for him. These two women would put on a dramatic show multiple times a day, and he would be summoned to decide who was in the right or wrong every single time. Now, he wished for nothing more than to toss them both out the door.

However, as one of them was his patient, he couldn't push her away, and the other was Eugene's sister and Olivia's sister-in-law, so he had no way of driving her out either. Hence, he had no choice but to live in hiding, hoping that the two of them would grow some self-awareness.

Earlier, he had heard from Penny's chattering that Olivia had already chased Mikaela away, so it seemed that she would not be returning any time soon. If that weren't the case, he was certain that he would eventually be driven into insanity by these two women.

At the dinner table, Eugene suddenly spoke up. "Olivia and I might have to leave in a few days."
