Ellen held her breath, and Eugene wanted to deny it, but the courage to do so vanished at the thought of the three children appearing in the office today. “Don’t make random assumptions.”
Infuriated, she slapped his shoulder. “How can I not? My daughter-in-law and grandson are out there! And look at you, sitting here doing nothing.”
“Olivia is in the heat at the moment. I’ll talk to her when she’s calm.” Ellen huffed, “So, you’re gonna wait? Just go to her and straighten things out at this instant. Don’t you know that women shouldn’t be left alone during fights? Are you sure she won’t fall for another man while you give her the cold shoulder?”
Eugene fell silent, for he was more afraid than anyone else right then. Only, he did not know how to explain the situation to Olivia in the ‘right’ way. There was a possibility that she might become angrier after the explanation. Brian, who was sitting right there, grinned. “Coward.”
“Shut up.” Eugene glared. Brian continued, “You must be the reason for the fight. Will you admit that or not?”
As Eugene kept quiet, Brian added, “A word of advice-admit it instead of hiding it. Tell her what you think and the reason for your actions. Olivia is not an unreasonable person. She will understand.”
Eugene shot another glare. Easier said than done. What should I do if she completely shut herself from me after hearing me out?
