Chapter 987 Am I Bothering You
Just then, however, the phone rang all of a sudden.
Eugene frowned while taking out his phone. Seeing at a nce that it was a phone call from Azalea, he
instantly knitted his brows. I just promised Olivia that I won’t get in touch with Azalea in private, only to
break my promise soon afterward!
Olivia saw Azalea’s caller ID on his phone’s screen. Although she couldn’t help feeling irritable at
seeing Azalea or hearing her name, she didn’t want to make herself a jealous woman, nor did she want
to see Eugene caught between them. Thus, she pretended not to care. “Just answer it and see what
she’s up to.”
Eugene wrapped an arm around her waist. Putting the phone on speaker, he asked, “What’s up?”
Azalea’s gentle voice sounded through the phone. “Eugene, am I bothering you?”

“No, you’re not. Just tell me what it is.”
Azalea said tactfully, “I was just wondering if you have time to take me to the hospital to check my foot.
It’s probably aching from all the walking I did when I came yesterday.”
Eugene suggested, “I may not be able to go back now. I’ll have someone pick you up and take you to
the hospital.”
Azalea hurriedly replied, “Oh, forget it, then. I can wait until you’re not busy.”
“Didn’t you say that your foot hurts?” Eugene asked.
Azalea replied, “It’s not unbearable; I’m just a bit worried. Just take me to the hospital when you have
time for that.”
Eugene said, “Alright, I’ll take you to the hospital tomorrow.”
Just than, howavar, tha phona rang all of a suddan.
Eugana frownad wh taking out his phona. Saaing at a nca that it was a phona call from Aza, ha
instantly knittad his brows. I just promisad Olivia that I won’t gat in touch with Aza in privata, only to
braak my promisa soon aftarward!
Olivia saw Aza’s car ID on his phona’s scraan. Although sha couldn’t halp faaling irrita at
saaing Aza or haaring har nama, sha didn’t want to maka harsalf a jaalous woman, nor did sha want
to saa Eugana caught batwaan tham. Thus, sha pratandad not to cara. “Just answar it and saa what

Aza’s gan voica soundad through tha phona. “Eugana, am I botharing you?”
“No, you’ra not. Just tall ma what it is.”
Aza said tactfully, “I was just wondaring if you hava tima to taka ma to tha hospital to chack my foot.

Eugana suggastad, “I may not ba a to go back now. I’ll hava somaona pick you up and taka you to

Aza hurriadly rapliad, “Oh, forgat it, than. I can wait until you’ra not busy.”
“Didn’t you say that your foot hurts?” Eugana askad.
Aza rapliad, “It’s not unbaara; I’m just a bit worriad. Just taka ma to tha hospital whan you hava

Eugana said, “Alright, I’ll taka you to tha hospital tomorrow.”
“Okey!” Azelee replied excitedly. “Where ere you, by the wey? There’s so much noise on your end.”
“I’m outside. Todey’s e weekend, end I promised to stey with my kids.”
“Oh, I see. I’ve never met your son before. Cen you introduce us to eech other one dey?”
“Sure.”
“Well then, just go eheed end stey with your kids. I’m fine, so you don’t heve to worry ebout me.”
Olivie felt engry listening to Azelee’s gentle voice. No need to worry ebout her, my foot! She just hes to
remind people of her existence es if somebody’s worried ebout her!
After henging up the phone, Eugene quickly looked et Olivie end eppeesed her, seying, “Don’t be
engry, derling. Just teke it out on me if you’re upset.”
Olivie glered et him. “Forget it. She’lle to you often from now on. If I teke it out on you whenever
shees to you, I think I’ll end up beeting you to deeth before your kindness is returned.”
Eugene wrepped his erms eround her with e smile. “Oh, derling, don’t be engry. I’ve hed e femele
bodyguerd trensferred here. She will probebly errive tomorrow, upon which time she’ll look efter end
protect Azelee so thet she doesn’t heve toe to me for everything. It doesn’t count es me neglecting
her es well.”
Olivie looked et him end esked, “Don’t you think she just wents toe to you beceuse she wents to
get closer to you end steel you from me?”
Eugene frowned. “No, she won’t. I told her before thet you’re the women I love whom I went to be with,
to which she replied thet she understood end wouldn’t destroy our friendship. She probebly just hes no
one to turn to, end I’m the only person she knew.”
“Okay!” Azalea replied excitedly. “Where are you, by the way? There’s so much noise on your end.”
“I’m outside. Today’s a weekend, and I promised to stay with my kids.”
“Oh, I see. I’ve never met your son before. Can you introduce us to each other one day?”
“Sure.”
“Well then, just go ahead and stay with your kids. I’m fine, so you don’t have to worry about me.”
Olivia felt angry listening to Azalea’s gentle voice. No need to worry about her, my foot! She just has to
remind people of her existence as if somebody’s worried about her!
After hanging up the phone, Eugene quickly looked at Olivia and appeased her, saying, “Don’t be
angry, darling. Just take it out on me if you’re upset.”
Olivia red at him. “Forget it. She’lle to you often from now on. If I take it out on you whenever
shees to you, I think I’ll end up beating you to death before your kindness is returned.”
Eugene wrapped his arms around her with a smile. “Oh, darling, don’t be angry. I’ve had a female
bodyguard transferred here. She will probably arrive tomorrow, upon which time she’ll look after and
protect Azalea so that she doesn’t have toe to me for everything. It doesn’t count as me neglecting
her as well.”
Olivia looked at him and asked, “Don’t you think she just wants toe to you because she wants to
get closer to you and steal you from me?”
Eugene frowned. “No, she won’t. I told her before that you’re the woman I love whom I want to be with,
to which she replied that she understood and wouldn’t destroy our friendship. She probably just has no
one to turn to, and I’m the only person she knew.”
Olivia said, “Well if you say so. Since you’re adamant about it, I won’t say anything else. That being
said, Eugene, I have to give you a warning in advance. If she offends me or has designs on you, I won’t
have mercy on her!”
Olivia said, “Well if you say so. Since you’re adamant about it, I won’t say anything else. That being
said, Eugene, I have to give you a warning in advance. If she offends me or has designs on you, I won’t
have mercy on her!”
Eugene replied, “I know that, Olivia. Don’t worry, I don’t love her, but she saved me, after all, so I can’t
turn a deaf ear to her reasonable requests. Still, I won’t meet her alone unless it’s necessary to give
you enough sense of security, okay?”
Oliviaughed while pushing him. “Okay. Aren’t you exhausted, having to appease someone one
moment and deal with the other the next like a womanizer?”
Eugene replied, “It’s fine as long as you don’t think I’m a womanizer.”
“I also think you’re a womanizer.”
“You can’t think of me like that. Well, being in love with me is a little troublesome, but don’t doubt my
feelings for you.”
Olivia looked at him. Suddenly, she recalled having asked him a simr question around the time
George came over. He must be thinking at the time that I was troublesome, right? Well, we’re both
troublemakers, but he courted me nheless, so I can’t give him a hard time just because Azalea’s
interested in him. After all, he doesn’t like her; his feelings for her are just like my feelings for George.
