Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 748

Unable to control herself, Olivia giggled. "No matter how experienced she is, she has to fall, somehow!" she said

and pulled Jewel into a seat. "By the way, didn't you prepare a gift for your godmother?"

Unable to control herself, Olivia giggled. "No matter how experienced she is, she has to fall, somehow!" she said

and pulled Jewel into a seat. "By the way, didn't you prepare a gift for your godmother?"

A sad look appeared on Jewel's face. 'It's not back yet!'

"What did you prepare?"

"Secret!" she said.

"You're starting to annoy me now that you can talk? Aren't you being a little ungrateful?"

Jewel laughed as she gestured, 'I think 'mom' is the word closest to the heart in this world.'

Olivia gazed at her fondly as she recalled the things Eugene said about Jewel encountering some major incident

that caused her memory loss, which resulted in her ending up in a place like Double Dragon Court.

Maybe she isn't an orphan, to begin with, Olivia reckoned. Otherwise, why will she have such a thought out of the

blue?

"You're right. I miss my mom, too."

Jewel hurriedly pulled her into a hug and comforted her in sign language, 'Your mother is always watching you!'

She nodded. "Have you been taking medication recently?"

"Of course, otherwise I can't speak," Jewel said, trying her best to articulate her words.

Olivia chuckled in amusement while she lifted Jewel's wrist and read her pulse carefully on her thigh before

releasing it after a few minutes. "I think you don't have to adjust your medication for the time being, but you'll have

to continue it for at least another couple of months."

Unoble to control herself, Olivio giggled. "No motter how experienced she is, she hos to foll, somehow!" she soid

"Not a problem!" she agreed obediently.

They spoke about what happened the past few days in the room, including about Nathan and Kate, and they started

to worry about how they were going to get by in the future.

Meanwhile, Alex was also worried because his bodyguard, Jewel, was too responsible.

Usually, she wouldn't allow him to drop her home, let alone let him into her house. She was so uptight.

Nevertheless, he had to admit that if it were another woman, she would have tried her best to get into his good

books and earned herself a promotion by now.

After he ensured that the kitchen door was tightly shut, he sought advice from Eugene.

The strategy he was currently using—taking a step back and befriending Olivia as a method to bring their

relationship to the next level—not only repaired their relationship, she even willingly stayed by his side. Because of

this, he was beginning to doubt himself; a longtime bachelor actually had better ideas than a Casanova like himself,

who literally lived and breathed seduction.

Eugene gave him the side-eye as he mocked, "It's only been a few days with her, and you already want to go to the

next base with her?"

"I'm not planning to move on to the next base with her. I just don't know how to get along with her," Alex explained.

Eugene scrutinized him and said with a straight face, "She doesn't like to be indebted to others, so just let her owe

you all the time. Do you know what is the hardest debt to repay?"

"What?" he asked.

With his eyes fixed on him, Eugene gave him a thoughtful smirk. "A true heart."

As though he understood what he meant, Alex nodded. "But my heart is true."

"Can she feel it, then?" Eugene asked.

"Like hell, she can. She's as polite to me as a stranger," he complained.

Eugene patted Alex's shoulder consolingly and said, "Okay, prepare the vegetables. This will keep your mind

occupied for days."

A helpless sigh escaped Alex's mouth, and he asked while rinsing the vegetables, "That's right, what's up with

Nicole? Hayden told me that you beat her."

A ruthless look flashed over his face. "She's asking for it. Not only did she have the nerves to kill Olivia, she even

tried to frame Penny for it."

"Really? Do you have any hard evidence that proves that she did it?" Alex asked.

Eugene glared at him icily. "If I have any solid evidence, do you think she would still be alive?"

His words tickled Alex. "That's true. By the way, you should stop now. According to Hayden, she's doing terribly. She

lost a chunk of her hair, and her neck was completely swollen. Yet, she's so considerate of you and stayed at her

villa, not daring to return to her parents' place because she said that her parents might make things difficult for

you. That totally shattered Hayden's heart."
