Chapter 298 Hopelessly in Love
Eugene, who had been keeping his lips sealed, finally blurted out the truth under Alex’s inducement. So, the lesson learnt was, when one bottle of wine wasn’t enough to settle an issue, just try again with a bottle of hard liquor or two.
However, Alex didn’t quite comprehend what he said because he had been vague. What boyfriend?
Hence, he decided to ask him tentatively, “Has Olivia agreed to go out with you?”
Eugene responded, “Yes.”
With a frown, Alex pressed on, “What about the guy you saw her with? Has she been unfaithful to you?”
Eugene put down the wine glass and leaned on the sofa before he answered, “He’s her senior who’s been having a crush on her!”
The crease on Alex’s forehead deepened. “What does that mean? Is she having an affair with her senior?”
At first, Alex found the matter intriguing as gossip but the more he learnt about it, the more of a mess he found it to be.
He thought Eugene, a man who had been single for 28 years, only didn’t know how to date a woman. He did not expect that he would even be dating someone who was having an affair!
Glaring at him with annoyance, Eugene snapped, “What nonsense are you spouting? She isn’t having an affair!”
Alex snorted in response, “If that’s the case, why are you so sulky? Tell me now, who’s that senior and how long have they known each other? That guy must be quite outstanding to be able to snatch your girl!”
After taking a sharp intake of breath, Eugene responded, “Seven years!”
Alex appeared to relax when he heard that. “Do you mean Olivia has known her senior for seven years?”
“Yes.”
