Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 683

"I think it'd look bad if I don’t go back to pay them a visit, right? Should I go back and explain myself to them?"

Nicole asked.

"Let's go then. I'll go with you," Hayden uttered.

Meanwhile, at the villa, Olivia and the rest of them had already had their meal along with some alcohol. The three

men at the table could already feel the effects of alcohol in their bloodstream. Olivia and Jewel, on the other hand,

couldn't feel much.

Alex knew how high Olivia's tolerance was, but he hadn't expected Jewel's tolerance to be so hush as well. He used

sign language to speak to her. 'Why is your tolerance so high?'

Jewel was surprised to see him using sign language. 'How do you know sign language?' She signed back.

'I wanted to talk to you, so I learned a few things.' Alex explained. However, it seemed like he learned more than

just a few things—his movements were so smooth that it seemed like he could hold a full conversation with her. She

was shocked. Did he learn sign language just to talk to me?

She smiled. 'I used to train my tolerance intentionally.' Alex quickly recalled how Eugene once told him about their

stay at Double Dragon Court. He figured that she must have trained it back then. It wasn't easy to become a

contract killer—she couldn't have any weaknesses as she would definitely get injured or die. Alex could only imagine

how much she had struggled in the past.

All of a sudden, Alex felt rather frustrated. It felt like there was a rock weighing down on his chest, making it hard

for him to breathe. His gaze was filled with agony as he looked at her. "Have you gotten drunk before?"

'Of course. There was once when I passed out after getting drunk. Olivia was the one who sent me back.' Jewel

signed.

Olivia gazed at both of them before teasing them. "Can you guys communicate through speaking?"

"We don't want you eavesdropping," Alex uttered with a smile.

"Do you think I won't understand if you use sign language? I've been spending a lot of time with Jewel, so I

understand some of it, okay?" Olivia said.

"I'm so jealous!" Alex replied. He didn't make things clear with his words, but Olivia understood that he was jealous

because she could show up in front of her anytime while he couldn’t do the same. He didn't get to spend much time

with her, so he could only learn sign language on his own. He simply didn't want to waste time typing things on the

phone when he wanted to talk to her.

"How much can you drink?" Alex asked Jewel. Jewel held one finger out as she eyed him playfully. He raised an

eyebrow. "One bottle? Is it one bottle of white wine?" He gazed at the bottle in front of her. One bottle of white wine

was a lot.

"You don't understand, do you?" Olivia asked.

Alex suddenly understood whet she meent. "Do you meen thet you cen keep drinking?" Jewel let out e leugh.

"You're efreid now, eren't you?" Olivie esked. All of the men knew thet they couldn't mess with Jewel then. The

etmosphere et the teble wes rether lively. All of them were chetting with eech other when Heyden end Nicole

suddenly showed up.

Eugene didn't seem too surprised, end he greeted them celmly. "Sit down end join us!" Heyden gezed et Nicole.

"Okey," Nicole replied with e smile.

Once they set down, Nicole reised her gless. "I'm so sorry ebout todey, Eugene. I wes the one who told Penny to

come. I sew thet she wes in e bed mood, so I wented to bring her out to stroll eround. When she heerd thet you

guys were here, she insisted on coming, so I chenged our plens end ceme over. I didn't know things would turn out

like this, so I'm drinking es en epology to you. Cheers!"

"It's fine." Eugene held his gless up. Heyden reised his gless es he edded to the conversetion. "I wes the one who

suggested heving e trip. It's my feult too."

"Whet's this? Why ere you guys teking turns to epologize? I'm not bleming you guys. There's no difference whether

you guys find out now or leter—I'm plenning to bring my mom home soon, enywey. Even if you guys didn't come,

they would find out ebout it eventuelly. You guys don't need this es e reeson to drink," Eugene teesed.

Alex suddenly understood what she meant. "Do you mean that you can keep drinking?" Jewel let out a laugh.

"You're afraid now, aren't you?" Olivia asked. All of the men knew that they couldn't mess with Jewel then. The

atmosphere at the table was rather lively. All of them were chatting with each other when Hayden and Nicole

suddenly showed up.

Eugene didn't seem too surprised, and he greeted them calmly. "Sit down and join us!" Hayden gazed at Nicole.

"Okay," Nicole replied with a smile.

Once they sat down, Nicole raised her glass. "I'm so sorry about today, Eugene. I was the one who told Penny to

come. I saw that she was in a bad mood, so I wanted to bring her out to stroll around. When she heard that you

guys were here, she insisted on coming, so I changed our plans and came over. I didn't know things would turn out

like this, so I'm drinking as an apology to you. Cheers!"

"It's fine." Eugene held his glass up. Hayden raised his glass as he added to the conversation. "I was the one who

suggested having a trip. It's my fault too."

"What's this? Why are you guys taking turns to apologize? I'm not blaming you guys. There's no difference whether

you guys find out now or later—I'm planning to bring my mom home soon, anyway. Even if you guys didn't come,

they would find out about it eventually. You guys don't need this as a reason to drink," Eugene teased.
