Chapter 989 Telling the Truth
True enough, she felt her phone vibrating in her hand after a while. "G-George?" Olivia shouted.
The man turned his head and smiled at them. "What have you two been up to?"
North was about to tell him about their ice-skating adventure, but Olivia quickly interrupted and said, "We just went
out for a walk. George, what brings you here?"
However, George did not give it much thought and smiled back. "I missed you guys. Since you didn't come to see
me, I decided to come over instead."
Olivia pouted upon hearing that. "I don't believe you. The clinic must be keeping you busy, so how did you manage
to make time for us?"
He chuckled and replied, "Well, I did come here with a purpose this time."
"What is it?" she asked in surprise.
"Can I tell you inside?"
Olivia suddenly remembered that they were still outside and awkwardly punched in the password to unlock the
door. "Please come in."
Olivia's mind was filled with worry despite her efforts to sound welcoming. What if Eugene shows up tonight while
George is here?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter entering, George asked, "How have you been?"
"So far so good."
"How's business?"
"Pretty good. I just finished shooting a movie a few days ago."
"You mentioned that last time. Is it all wrapped up now?"
"We wrapped up a few days ago. George, please sit down. Let me get some fruit for you."
Olivia hurriedly went to the kitchen, hoping to find a chance to call Eugene and ask him to stay away for a few days.
However, she didn't even have a chance to do so as George was staring at her, probably thinking that she was
acting strange.
But that wasn't even the worst of her fears.
The most troublesome thing was that Eugene would definitely get angry if he found out that George was there. His
reaction might even be worse than the last time George popped by.
At that time, they had just started dating. Eugene had kept his secret about being the child's father from Olivia.
Now that the truth was out, how could he hide it? After all, he and Olivia were North's biological parents.
Why is George here again?
Olivia's mind was all over the place as she mechanically washed the fruit.
Suddenly, George spoke up. "Where's Jewel now? Ask her to come over too."
Olivia's eyes lit up. Oh, right! There's Jewel too.
She walked over with the fruit. "Give me a moment. I'll get her to come over." As she spoke, she grabbed her phone
and hurriedly slipped away.
He frowned at that. "Can't you just make a phone call?"
"She's downstairs. I'll go get her," Olivia said as she hurried out of the door, afraid that George would call her.
If I can't go out, how can I make a phone call?
She went down the stairs and called Eugene on her phone.
At that moment, Eugene had just arrived at Ruby Palace. When he saw that Olivia was calling, he answered happily,
"Olivia? Did something happen?"
Olivia felt a little embarrassed and hesitated for a while before saying, "Eugene, can I ask you for a favor?"
His eyes flashed with surprise. "What's the matter?"
Olivia asked, "Can you promise me something first?"
"Tell me what it is first."
She took a deep breath and mumbled, "George suddenly came. Can you hide for a few more days?"
There was silence on the other end of the line as Eugene was probably digesting this information. After a long while,
his cold voice came through. "You want me to hide again?"
Olivia knew she was wrong, so she murmured in a gentle voice, "I haven't figured out how to tell him about our
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsituation."
"You can figure it out now and tell him tonight."
"He just arrived. Can't you give me some time?"
"Didn't you say that George left because he already suspected that there was something between us? Isn't this just
a matter of telling the truth?"
"I'm really not sure how to face him if I tell him everything. I mean, what if he's just pretending not to know?"
"Are you too embarrassed to reveal it to him?"
"Yeah."
"Let me be clear, hmm? We are the parents of our son. We are a family, and this is something you'll have to face
eventually. You can't keep me hidden forever."
"I don't want to hide you forever. Just give me some time. Can you avoid showing up for a few days?"
"No. If you don't tell him, I will personally go and tell him tonight."
"Eugene!"
Olivia's words seemed to have shocked Eugene, and his tone became stern as he responded, "There's no need to
shout. If you don't tell him, I will. Alternatively, you can move in with me. I can't bear to see you two living under the
same roof like this."
