Olivia pursed her lips and did not respond. “Did you know that at the time, Grandpa kept giving me looks and hinting that I should win you over. Olivia, Grandpa added these terms for you.”
Olivia was puzzled by what Eugene just shared. She could not understand why such a decision had been made. ‘Why did Grandpa want you to get into a relationship with me? I only met him a few times back then, so it can’t be because I saved him? He’s even giving his grandson to me?”
Eugene kept his eyes on Olivia, but his emotions were in turmoil. He licked his lips as he felt a little fearful of what was about to happen. Even so, Eugene knew that no matter what happened, he still needed to say it. He could not bear to see Olivia suffering any longer. “Olivia, I have something to tell you.”
As he said that, he reached out to grasp her hand, as if he was afraid that she would leave. Olivia was even more puzzled now. She saw how serious he got, and she felt like her heart was in her mouth as she asked, “What is it?”
“Do you want to know why Grandpa is so fond of North? And why I insisted on going after you?’ Eugene asked. Olivia slowly nodded her head. “Okay, why?”
After taking a deep breath, Eugene carefully explained, “Olivia, when you hear what I’m about to say, please don’t be mad because I never intended to hurt you.” Olivia was even more anxious after hearing that, and she urged, “Come on, just hurry up and say it.”
Eugene did not even blink as he examined Olivia’s reaction and slowly recalled, “Actually, I don’t really remember it clearly. At the time, I drank a cup of wine that Nathan passed to me, but it had been drugged by someone, so I have no clear memory of what happened.
I just know that I felt very uncomfortable, and decided to get a room to take a shower and clear my head. But just as I was about to close the door, I saw a woman falling into my room. I thought she was one of the girls working at the nightclub, so I dragged her into the room…”
By now, Olivia’s face was as white as a sheet and her eyes were filled with apprehension. “When did this happen?” “Seven years ago, on September 22nd,” Eugene replied.
