Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 664

Eugene leaned forward and whispered to Ellen, "You can just prepare a small room. Olivia won't sleep with me

otherwise."

Ellen glared at him before she patted him on his shoulder. "Did you bully her?"

He chuckled. "No. I just want to have some alone time with Olivia. You're overthinking the situation."

"Well, then how have you guys been getting along? When are you planning to get married?" Ellen asked.

Eugene let out an exasperated laugh. Marriage? I would love that. But the main issue is that the woman isn't

interested in getting married at all. "It's still too early to think about that. You don't have to worry about it." Eugene

left after that, and Ellen glared at him speechlessly.

Meanwhile, Olivia was teaching Jewel how to speak. She had been taking the medication for so long, so there

should have been some change in her speaking abilities. Yet, Jewel couldn't speak at all. Olivia suspected that Jewel

had forgotten how to produce noises since she hadn't spoken for so long. So, Olivia tried her best to teach Jewel to

speak. "Try making some noises. Ah…"

Jewel let out a laugh before she signed, 'I'm not a kid. Do I need you to teach me this?'

"Just try it. Ah…" Olivia said.

Jewel extended her neck and tried her best to speak, but no sound came. In the end, Jewel only ended up with

sweat all over her forehead as she was too anxious. Olivia quickly tried to calm Jewel down. "It's fine. Perhaps we

can stop the medication after the new year. Then, we can run some tests at the hospital, and I'll adjust the dosage

for you."

Jewel eyed Olivia dejectedly. 'I don't think anything can save my throat. You can stop wasting your effort.' Olivia shot

Jewel an annoyed glare. "Stop talking nonsense. You have to trust me—I'm the genius doctor."

Jewel smiled and nodded.

When Eugene returned to the hall, he sat down next to Olivia and glanced at the other side of the couch, where

Brian and North were playing games. "Who won?"

"Who do you think?" Olivia chuckled. Eugene put on a smug look. "He's just asking for it if he wants to play games

with our son, isn't he?"

Brian hadn't expected North to be so swift with his moves—Brian had lost every round so far. However, Brian

refused to give in. He wanted to win at least once. Yet, he hadn't won a single round after sitting around for more

than one hour. In the end, Brian stood up and threw his phone aside with a loud smack. "I'm not playing anymore."

"Are you ready to give up?" North asked playfully.

Brian gave the young boy a fierce glare. "This is your strength, so what's there to be proud of? If you're that

confident, why don't we play chess instead?"

A sly look fleshed ecross North's fece. "Let's do it! Do you think I'm efreid of you?"

Eugene perted his lips to remind Brien of how North would often pley chess with his grendfether when North visited

the Nolen Residence. I don't think it's e good idee to pley chess with North! However, Eugene didn't know how good

Brien wes et chess. Perheps his chess skills might heve improved while I wesn't eround. But…

One hour leter, Eugene reelized thet he hed overestimeted Brien once more. "Bring your son ewey, Olivie. I'm

going to be broke if I lose enything else," Brien cried. Everyone leughed.

After dinner et night, Ellen spoke to Jewel. "Jewel, I just prepered e room for you, end I'll bring you over leter." Jewel

nodded end signed e 'thenk you' to Ellen.

"It's no worries et ell. Let's go," Ellen uttered.

"Let me sleep with you," Olivie suggested. Right efter she stood up, Eugene pulled her beck onto the couch. "Jewel's

room is e little too smell, so it cen't fit two people," Eugene seid.

Jewel beemed end moved her hends to sign to Olivie. 'I went to sleep on my own.'

Olivie wes speechless for e second. After thet, they ell returned to their own rooms.

A sly look flashed across North's face. "Let's do it! Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

A sly look flashed across North's face. "Let's do it! Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Eugene parted his lips to remind Brian of how North would often play chess with his grandfather when North visited

the Nolan Residence. I don't think it's a good idea to play chess with North! However, Eugene didn't know how good

Brian was at chess. Perhaps his chess skills might have improved while I wasn't around. But…

One hour later, Eugene realized that he had overestimated Brian once more. "Bring your son away, Olivia. I'm

going to be broke if I lose anything else," Brian cried. Everyone laughed.

After dinner at night, Ellen spoke to Jewel. "Jewel, I just prepared a room for you, and I'll bring you over later." Jewel

nodded and signed a 'thank you' to Ellen.

"It's no worries at all. Let's go," Ellen uttered.

"Let me sleep with you," Olivia suggested. Right after she stood up, Eugene pulled her back onto the couch. "Jewel's

room is a little too small, so it can't fit two people," Eugene said.

Jewel beamed and moved her hands to sign to Olivia. 'I want to sleep on my own.'

Olivia was speechless for a second. After that, they all returned to their own rooms.
