Super Wife’s Three Babies novel Chapter 298

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.”

Having taken a deep breath, Alex patted his shoulder and sighed, “I think you’re hopelessly in love with her!”

Eugene picked up a glass of hard liquor and downed its content at one go without answering him.

No longer in the mood to tease him, Alex grabbed his arm when he was trying to refill his glass with more booze.

“Well, I understand why you’re feeling upset now. Isn’t it because you don’t get to see Olivia openly? You’re thinking that she’s keeping your existence a secret because she’s fallen in love with her senior, aren’t you?”

Looking embarrassed, Eugene quickly denied, “I didn’t say that!”

Alex chuckled, “There’s no point in denying it because you know that it’s true subconsciously. You already felt insecure about your relationship with her right from the beginning and what she said only worsened your anxiety. However, I think you should try to put yourself in her shoes. How do you expect her to introduce you as her boyfriend to a senior whom she rejected despite him having a crush on her for seven years?”

Eugene snorted, begging to differ, “I don’t see why she can’t introduce me as her boyfriend. If she’s taking our relationship seriously, what difference does it make? He’ll know about it sooner or later, won’t he?”
