Chapter 954 I’ll Back Out
"How is North doing? He's not angry, is he?"
"He's fine." Eugene sighed. "I comforted him last night. He was mostly worried about you. I'm sorry for putting you
and your mother through this, Olivia."
Olivia took a deep breath at those words. "Enough. You have said it a few times now. I don't want to argue with you.
As long as the children aren't Azalea's, I won't make a fuss for those adorable little ones' sake. But if the children
are Azalea's, I won't get involved with you anymore, Eugene."
The man hurriedly replied, "They won't be hers. The more I think about it, the more unlikely it seems. Don't worry.
North is already looking into it. He was the one who hid the traces of their whereabouts. It will take some time to
find them. Please be patient."
"Yeah. I understand."
Olivia ended the call after saying that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven though she didn't want to argue with Eugene, she couldn't help feeling irritable whenever she thought about
Azalea.
She didn't know whether it was because Azalea's unabashed admiration for Eugene posed a threat to her, or if it
was because she was indebted to Eugene for saving her life that she couldn't express her immature thoughts to
him.
Olivia was forced to be magnanimous despite how petty she was deep down. She only wished for Eugene to belong
to her alone.
It was already late in the evening when they finished shooting for the day.
As Olivia and Jewel stepped out of the filming set, they saw Alex standing at the entrance.
Unlike his usual cheerful self, he exuded an air of desolation. He quietly called out to Jewel, "Jewel…"
Olivia's expression darkened at the sight of him. When she glanced at Jewel, their eyes happened to meet.
"It's your call," Olivia said. "Ignore him if you want to, or you can talk to him."
Jewel looked back at Alex again. "You should go back."
After speaking, she took Olivia's hand and started to leave, only to have the man approach her and grab her by the
hand instead.
"Please, Jewel. Talk to me."
Jewel instinctively pulled back. Her eyebrows were furrowed when she hissed, "Don't touch me."
His mother is going to think that I'm seducing him again if she sees us.
Alex compromised by withdrawing his hand. "Let's find a place to talk, then."
Jewel took a deep breath and glanced at Olivia. "I'll send you home."
Olivia sighed. "It's fine. I'm not a child you have to send home. You go ahead and have a good chat. After all,
everything that happened has nothing to do with him."
Jewel nodded before getting into Alex's car with him.
They then came to the private room of a restaurant. After the food was served, Alex finally murmured, "I'm sorry
about last night, Jewel. I didn't know my mother treated you like that."
Jewel sucked in a deep breath. "I don't have the right to judge your mother in front of you, and I don't want your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrelationship with your mother to go sour because of me. It's better if you don't come to see me again. I don't want
your mother to misunderstand."
Alex grew somewhat impatient as he demanded, "Don't listen to her! She's going through menopause now, and she
doesn't think before she speaks or acts. It was my decision to pursue you. I was the one who has been persistently
pursuing you. Why listen to her?"
He then reached out and grabbed her hand, pleading, "Do you know how long I've been waiting for you? Do you
know how long I've been waiting for you at the entrance of the set? I was afraid that you would back down, which is
why I came to find you right away. Don't give up so easily, please! We have spent so much time together. Don't you
have any lingering feelings for me? Don't you feel reluctant to let me go?"
Jewel only helplessly looked into his eyes. "What can I do when it is your mother who doesn't like me? I can't make
you break ties with your mother. I have no choice but to back out on my own."
"No." Alex pulled her into his embrace. "Don't worry. Just give me some time. I will definitely resolve this."
"Your mother said she won't object to you dating anyone other than me. Don't you think this is no longer just a
matter of not liking me? Perhaps she really minds what happened in the past, or maybe there are other reasons
she hasn't told me. Do you think we can be together when she is so strongly opposing our relationship?"
