Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1372

Olivia looked at him and smiled. "Is your throat better?"

Eugene replied, "Yeah, it is. I'll probably be fine in another two days."

"No rush. Nobody's health is more important than my husband's."

He looked at her, his eyes showing surprise and delight. His sparkling gaze seemed to be filled with a galaxy of stars. "Say that again."

She pursed her lips and turned her head playfully. "Nope, forget it. If you missed it, too bad."

Eugene endured the last stretch of the road and finally parked the car in the yard. He then unfastened his seatbelt, leaned over, and his voice carried a hint of seduction. "Darling, say it again."

Olivia looked at him and smiled. At that moment, she placed her hands on his neck and kissed him gently on the lips, softly whispering three words, "I love you!"

In that instant, an overwhelming sense of happiness enveloped him. His mind felt dizzy because she hardly ever spoke sweet nothings. These three words used to be foreign to her.

He pulled her into his arms, then kissed her forehead, saying, "Darling, I love you too, only you!"

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and Eugene had only a few minor matters to handle. Worried that Olivia might be anxious, he delegated those tasks to his subordinates. When she learned about it, she suggested staying one more day to visit Halma.

He agreed, and before going to the office, he dropped Olivia off at the hospital and then drove to his company. Over the past few days, he attended numerous meetings and signed countless documents, mostly related to the company's strategic plans and future developments.

Since he had some free time today, he decided to figure out how to deal with Ace.

Meanwhile, Olivia smoothly entered Halma's hospital room and saw a harmonious and warm scene. Nathan was holding a bowl of soup and patiently coaxing Halma. "Come on. Eat a little more. You've lost weight; what's there to gain?"

She rolled her eyes. "Lost weight? When I looked in the mirror today, I found my face getting chubbier. Yet, you still dare to lie to my face."

He sighed with exasperation and amusement. "You're so stubborn. How can you gain weight by eating this bland stuff every day?"

She retorted, "All I do is eat all day! Is that what you mean?"

They exchanged glances, and in each other's eyes, the familiar chemistry seemed to have changed slightly. They still bantered and teased each other, but there was something different.

Olivia thought it could be the way they looked at each other. Their eyes exuded tenderness and indulgence, like how lovers should look at each other.

She leaned against the door, lazily knocking on it. "Bad timing?"

Hearing her voice, the affectionate couple on the bed turned their heads in her direction.

"Olivia…" Halma was delighted. "Why did you come? Aren't you busy? Come in."

Nathan looked at Halma's joyful expression and smiled gently. "You two have at it. I'll head out and check with the doctor about her condition." He then left the room.

Olivia sat on a chair beside the bed and teasingly said, "It seems like Nathan is taking good care of you. Your complexion is rosy, and you seem full of energy. You look like you're in a good

mood too."

Halma blushed slightly and felt a bit embarrassed. "Am I getting fat? I feel like my face has gained weight."

Olivia said, "You look fine; your complexion is good too."

Halma looked worried. "It must be because I've gained weight. With my body type, gaining a pound is like breathing, and losing a pound is like a life-or-death struggle. I can't let him keep feeding me like this."

Olivia sighed. "Looking at you two, I suddenly feel like a mother watching her children grow up. Finally, you guys have found your happiness."

Halma also smiled. "Thank goodness you both came back. Otherwise, with so much on my plate, things would've been a chaotic mess."

Olivia refuted, "Don't say that. From now on, don't rush to every conclusion. In the past, Nathan hurt you because he hadn't fully understood his feelings for you. But now, with all the care and consideration he shows you, who wouldn't believe he loves you?"
