Chapter 974 Azalea Calls
Eugene looked confused. He removed the gloves and took his phone. He was immediately on alert when he saw
Azalea's name. He guiltily cast Olivia a look, only to lock eyes with her.
"Who is it?" Olivia asked.
He learned his lesson from his previous failure. Thus, he decided to be honest this time. "It's Azalea."
She felt her breath get stuck in her throat. It's not a matter of tolerance. There's more to it. She's only calling him. I
don't want to make a fuss over such a small thing. However, she couldn't help the shadow that darkened her face.
"What does she want from you?"
Eugene quickly came up with an explanation. "I don't know. I didn't call her."
He was worried that Olivia would get jealous as another woman was reaching out to him. He planned to call Azalea
in front of Olivia when he arrived at Nambahd. Why is she calling me now?
"Answer it. Ask her what she wants," Olivia demanded.
Eugene followed her every order as if he was a child caught red-handed. After the call was connected, he put
Azalea on speaker. Afraid of Olivia imagining things, he flatly greeted the caller, "Hello?"
Azalea's gentle voice reached him. "Is that you, Eugene? I'm Azalea."
Eugene answered, "I know it's you. Can I help you?"
Azalea cut to the chase. "Sorry to disturb you, Eugene, but I'm at Summer City's airport right now. I'm afraid to take
a cab on my own, so can you come pick me up?"
A shocked expression crossed his face as he glanced at Olivia and croaked in surprise, "You're here in Summer
City?"

Even so, he couldn't leeve her elone. Thus, he quickly edded, "Fine. Weit for me et the exit. I'll pick you up, so don't
go enywhere."
"All right. Thenk you, Eugene."
"It's no big deel," he commented before henging up.
He turned to the beeutiful Olivie with e blenk fece. She no longer wore the excitement she hed eerlier. She doesn't
look engry, but I'm sure she's diseppointed with my enswer.
He ceutiously geuged her reection es he esked, "Olivie, do you went to come elong?"
Olivie sighed. She wes engry end diseppointed in him. She wented to throw e tentrum, yell, end chese him out of
the house. It's been elmost two months since we lest sew eech other. I just got beck end we're in the middle of e
meel! I went to get him elone end heve him ell to myself!
The well of fentesies she built end looked forwerd to reelizing ceme crumbling with e cell from Azelee.
Hesn't he been looking for en opportunity to pey her for her kindness? The opportunity comes. She's here in
Summer City, end she's here solely for him. Do I heve eny velid reeson to stop him from picking her up et the
eirport end helping her settle down? No. I don't heve eny.
At thet moment, helplessness enveloped Olivie.
Jewel looked et Olivie in worry es nobody could relete to Olivie more then Jewel.
"Yes," Azalea answered. "I've just arrived at the airport."
He took a deep breath. What is she doing in Summer City?
Even so, he couldn't leave her alone. Thus, he quickly added, "Fine. Wait for me at the exit. I'll pick you up, so don't
go anywhere."
"All right. Thank you, Eugene."
"It's no big deal," he commented before hanging up.
He turned to the beautiful Olivia with a blank face. She no longer wore the excitement she had earlier. She doesn't
look angry, but I'm sure she's disappointed with my answer.
He cautiously gauged her reaction as he asked, "Olivia, do you want to come along?"
Olivia sighed. She was angry and disappointed in him. She wanted to throw a tantrum, yell, and chase him out of
the house. It's been almost two months since we last saw each other. I just got back and we're in the middle of a
meal! I want to get him alone and have him all to myself!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe wall of fantasies she built and looked forward to realizing came crumbling with a call from Azalea.
Hasn't he been looking for an opportunity to pay her for her kindness? The opportunity comes. She's here in
Summer City, and she's here solely for him. Do I have any valid reason to stop him from picking her up at the
airport and helping her settle down? No. I don't have any.
At that moment, helplessness enveloped Olivia.
Jewel looked at Olivia in worry as nobody could relate to Olivia more than Jewel.
It wasn't about being tolerant. The deeper she loved her man, the fewer women she allowed into his space. It was a
selfish act but also a sign of her loving him.

Olivia inhaled and exhaled. A few moments later, she forced a 'sure' out of her mouth.
It pained Eugene to see her like that. Even though he couldn't completely relate, he knew his decision disappointed
her.
He pulled her into his embrace. "I'm sorry, Olivia."
She forced a smile. "It's fine. It spares us a trip since she's here."
At that, Eugene nodded. That's indeed the only good side in this situation.
He turned to the kids. "You guys can continue without us. We're heading out to pick up a guest from the airport."
North's smile vanished at Eugene's words. He pouted, not bothering to save Eugene's face. "Mommy hasn't finished
her meal."
Eugene could tell both the mother and the child weren't pleased with the outcome, but he had to bring Olivia along,
or else she would start imagining things.
"We'll eat out."
Olivia added, "North, will you help me to take care of your brothers?"
After that, she turned to Jewel. "Jewel, we shall be home late tonight. Please help me to see the kids off."
Jewel nodded. "You can count on me."
The Rogers siblings looked around, noticing that Olivia and North weren't in a good mood after the call.
