Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 716

Olivia responded, "I don't feel like my son has much of a childhood. In my memories, North isn't a naughty child."

"Do you think that you've let our son down?" Eugene held her hands.

Looking at North somewhat apologetically, Olivia explained, "I was just too busy then. Plus, I had to repay the debt I

owed my master. Not only did I have to run the clinic, I had to contribute to fashion designing from time to time. I

really didn't have time to look after him."

With a pang in his heart, Eugene knew that it was him that caused his loved ones such hardships.

"You won't have to do that in the future. I will take good care of you both." He kissed her on the forehead.

North, who had his hands in his pockets, uttered coldly, "Could you two control yourself? There's a minor here, mind

you."

Blushing, Olivia realized that she had contradicted her words and that she should not have done this right before

her son's eyes. As such, she shoved Eugene away.

Laughing, Eugene asked North, "Aren't you staying at the hospital?"

North replied, "Oh no, my presence will only bother you two."

Eugene stated, "Go home if you want to. You don't have to speak in such a condescending way."

North asked, "Am I not speaking the truth?"

"You aren't. We'll be happier with you being here."

North rebuked, "Then, don't say that I'm too mature for my age again."

On the other hand, Nathan managed to call out for Kate. "Katie, wait up!"

Stopping in her tracks, she waited for him to catch up.

Chasing relentlessly after the girl, Nathan realized it was a good idea to pick up some gifts on the way. As such, he

bought all the flowers available from the young girl that was selling it by the roadside.

With a huge bouquet and a satisfied expression, he walked toward Kate.

It was already sunset as she stood there with the sun glowing behind her. Her sweet smile directed at him made

him think that she was an angel that descended from heaven.

In reality, he had always thought of her as a stunning lady. It was just that he had grown used to being sarcastic and

teaseful toward her after knowing each other for so many years.

As for praising… Hmm…

It was neither embarrassment nor shyness, but it was just awkward to properly compliment her beauty.

At last, he caught up to her and gave the bouquet of roses to Kate.

After stuttering for half a day, he managed to utter, "P-P-Pretty flowers for a pretty lady!"

Lowering her gaze, Kate could not help her burst of laughter. "That's so corny!"

Nathan scratched his head and smiled foolishly. "I don't know how best to say it. I just wanted to thank you for

giving me another chance, Kate."

On tha othar hand, Nathan managad to call out for Kata. "Katia, wait up!"

Stopping in har tracks, sha waitad for him to catch up.

Chasing ralantlassly aftar tha girl, Nathan raalizad it was a good idaa to pick up soma gifts on tha way. As such, ha

taasaful toward har aftar knowing aach othar for so many yaars.

As for praising… Hmm…

It was naithar ambarrassmant nor shynass, but it was just awkward to proparly complimant har baauty.

Lowaring har gaza, Kata could not halp har burst of laughtar. "That's so corny!"

Nathan scratchad his haad and smilad foolishly. "I don't know how bast to say it. I just wantad to thank you for

giving ma anothar chanca, Kata."

She stared at him before turning around to sniff the flowers. "Don't push your luck! I haven't decided on giving you

that chance just yet!"

Perplexed, he stood there with confusion written on his face.

"Are you not coming?" asked Kate.

Nathan hastily replied, "O-Of course. Let's go. I'll give you a ride." He went to get his car.

Not rejecting him, Kate accepted his offer.

"Are you free tonight, Katie? How about we go see a movie?" he asked after entering the car.

She inhaled deeply as she processed the thought of whether to forgive him completely.

However, seeing that her every move was studied intently by him, she could not help but notice the anxiety in him

upon reacting to her actions. As such, her mood instantly brightened up as he looked rather silly.

If there were a choice between tormenting him or herself, the former became the obvious winner. She would

rather do anything else than to continue indulging in her grief and self-pity.

This is your price for hurting me.

At the reminder that she promised him a second chance, she replied, "Sure." After all, when one let go and chose

to forgive, it was equivalent to giving oneself a chance to move on for a better path.

Nathan became elated upon her acknowledgment; he scrolled through the list of movies on air as he drove.
