Chapter 304 Are You Trying to Murder Your Girlfriend?
Olivia nodded at him. “Yes, it’s done. Let’s bring it to your grandfather and let him try it on.” George suggested,
“Olivia, why don’t you invite Mr. Nolan in for a cup of tea?”
Despite feeling horrified by his suggestion, Olivia maintained a calm outlook and spoke politely, “Mr. Nolan, would
you like to come in for a cup of tea?”
Although she was talking in a polite and formal tone, she was staring at him with her eyes laden with imploration
and ingratiation.
Eugene cast a glimpse at George and tried his best to suppress the fury in him before he responded in a
businesslike tone, “I’ll pass as I’ll be busy in the afternoon. So, let’s go now so we can get it over with earlier.”
With a look of gratification, Olivia quickly replied, “Well, let’s go now then.”
With that, she took the suit and said bye to George before heading out.
As soon as they were in his car, Eugene’s face fell immediately not because he was throwing a tantrum at Olivia.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was because his mental preparation was reduced to nothing the moment he witnessed Olivia and George
together with his own eyes. Despite having spent three days convincing himself to stay calm when he saw them, it
took George only less than three minutes to ruin his effort.
He knew there was nothing going on between them and Olivia only saw him as her family.
In spite of that, he still couldn’t stand them being so close with each other!
“Eugene, don’t you get the wrong idea from our conversation just now. A few days ago, I tried to ask George
indirectly when he was planning to leave but I think he could sense that I was trying to get rid of him. So, I had no
choice but to tell him that I was only asking because I would like to bring him around if he was going to extend his
stay. Please believe me and don’t read too much into this matter.”
Eugene nodded and responded, “Yes, I understand.”
Are you still feeling grumpy although you understand the situation? Well, I guess no one in your shoes would be
happy.
Tilting her head to one side, she put on an adorable look and tried hard to please him because she knew she had
been giving him a hard time recently. Curling her small finger around his, she cajoled, “Don’t be angry. I’ve always
seen George as my family member and I know my own feelings. So, please don’t be jealous of him at this time,
alright? You just have to put up with him for a couple of days more until he leaves and by the time it happens, I
promise I’ll make it up to you.”
Even though Eugene didn’t say a word, one could tell that he had relented from the way he relaxed his tightly
pursed lips.
The mounting fury in him quickly dissipated like a deflated balloon.
Indeed, he adored being cajoled by Olivia in this way because it was rare for her to speak in such a gentle tone.
Although her finger felt icy to his skin, the moment she touched him, he felt electricity coursing through his entire
body from her fingertip, setting them on fire.
Well, he had to say he was easy when it came to Olivia.
Without uttering a word, he reached out his hand to hold hers.
Alex was right—she chose to sacrifice him because she saw him as her close one and she had indeed promised to

But, what should he do if he wanted to be compensated now?
The moment he held her hand, Olivia felt a lump in her throat all of a sudden knowing he relented not because he
was good-tempered, but simply because he cared too much about her to be mad at her over the matter.
She opened her hand fully and interlocked her fingers with his.
Staring at her, Eugene turned the steering wheel and pulled up by the roadside.
Gazing at him, Olivia opened her arms widely on her own initiative knowing what he was going to do next.
Unable to stop himself from breaking into a grin, Eugene unfastened his seat belt and pulled her toward his arms.
He then kept her in his tight embrace without saying a word as if he was worried he might lose her any minute.
Patting his back gently, Olivia grumbled, “Are you trying to murder your girlfriend?”
It was only then did Eugene realize he had been squeezing her too hard. Immediately, he loosened his hold on her
and flashed her a foolish grin.
Olivia thought about the cocky man who sat arrogantly behind his desk when they met several months ago and the
man in front of her now, who was content with just a hug. For a moment, she experienced mixed feelings noticing
the stark contrast.
Grabbing his hands, she said solemnly, “My boyfriend, I know I’ve been giving you a hard time lately and it’s my
fault. You can throw tantrums all you like and I promise I won’t be angry with you.”
