ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 2 - Season 10 Episode 41

George finally caught up with Holley in the doorway. He grabbed her by her arm and asked, “Where are you going?”

“It’s none of your business,” Holley replied coldly as she shook off his hands. Then she looked into his eyes and said, “I’ll move out of your house as soon as possible. I will also resign from Kline Corp. From now on, I don’t want to have anything to do with you. Do you understand?”

“Holly, what are you doing? Why are you saying this?” George furrowed his eyebrows. He put his hands on her shoulders and continued, “Everything was fine just now, right? Why do you get angry all of a sudden?”

In reality, Holley was betting on George to fight back against Donna, since he loved her.

The reason that Donna organized the meal was to display that no matter how violent George and she quarreled, they would make it up in just a blink of an eye. George was an obedient child after all. However, what Holley wanted was to let Donna understand that George was not her puppet even though she was his mother. Would she allow someone like Donna to spoil her hard-earned fruits? Never!

That thought made Holley sneer at the man before her. “George, we have been together for such a long time. I believe you know me better than anyone else. I don’t trust anybody easily! I told you about my history with Sheryl because I trusted you! I thought you could keep the secret for me. But I was wrong! You told your mother! You have messed with my privacy! The last thing I want is to see you spreading it like a gossip!”

“Holley, I didn’t mean that…” George grabbed her hands and tried to explain. “I know that life is very difficult for you because of what you have gone through. I really love you! I want my mother to know more about you so that she could pity and love you as I do! That is why I told her. I meant nothing else!”

“Pity and love me?” Holley gritted her teeth. “Do you really think that your mother would pity and love me?”

“Yes, she would!” George nodded resolutely. “She has promised that she will have a meeting with Sheryl and then arrange the affairs of our wedding. Holley, could you please let it go this time even just for me?”

He tried everything he could to persuade Holley, “As you said, we have been together for very long time. You should know how much I love you and how much I treasure you. She is my mother. Surely I hope that my marriage is blessed by my own mother! Is there anything wrong with me to want this?”

“You are wrong because you believed in your mother! You believed that she would really bless us!” Holley insulted coldly. “If she really agrees to our marriage, she would never have talked like that today! She would not have kept Sula in Ylanbu either until now!”

She then stared at George. “She is your mother. I really don’t want to judge her in front of you. However, do you think that it is right of her to keep a girl who likes you at your side? What do you think her reason is for doing this?”

“I…” George was stunned by her question. He never really thought about this before. Thus, he smiled bitterly and replied, “I didn’t think much about this arrangement. Sula is like a little sister to me. You are the one I love!”

Holley knew about how he felt towards Sula. It was just that Donna and Sula didn’t understand.

A bitter grin cracked her lips as she was disappointed by his answer. She said, “I think the best solution to this is for us to break up. Your mother will never agree with our relationship. Why don’t we just end everything now?”

She lowered her head and continued, “You don’t need to worry about me. I can take care of myself.”

“Don’t even think about it!” George finally snapped angrily. Then he hugged her in his arms aggressively. “I will never agree to break up with you!”

“But…” Holley mumbled and frowned.

George embraced her tighter and promised, “It was my fault. I only thought about explaining to my mother but I forgot how you would feel. I promise not to do this again from now on!”

“Are you sure?” asked Holly.

“Yes, I’m sure!” replied George seriously.
“Then… What about Sula?” Holley added, “Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that you two have an affair. Nevertheless, if she is really this obsessed with you then I don’t think that it’s right for her to stay around. Otherwise, she will feel hurt and heartbroken sooner or later.”

“Naughty girl! You are still jealous of her even now!” George patted her head and teased. But on second thought, what she said made sense. Thus, he sighed and reassured her, “I will talk with her about it next time.”

“Or what about this?” Holley snuggled closer to George and whispered something in his ear.

In reaction though, George frowned upon hearing her words. It was hard for him to decide but then he finally gave in after a while. He nodded. “Then let’s do as what you said.”

It was only then that Holley smiled widely.

Sheryl returned to the Murphy family house after leaving the Kline Corp. She was totally exhausted because of visiting Susan. She didn’t remember that she had promised Charles to move back until she arrived home. It was already late, so she rushed upstairs to pack up her stuff.

Frankly, she had been reluctant to move into the Murphy family house before. However, she was reluctant to leave now after spending some time with her grandparents.

On the other hand, Amy realized something about Sheryl’s behavior and mood. It was obvious that her grandchild chose not to tell her anything. Rather, she made a fresh juice for Sheryl and sat in her room. She watched her packing her things.

Sheryl didn’t have many items; thus, she finished everything quickly.

She turned to Amy and realized that there were tears in her eyes. She hurried to her and squatted close. Then she asked softly, “Grandma, is everything fine? Why are you suddenly crying?”

She smiled and tried to comfort the aged woman, “If grandpa sees you cry, he might blame me for displeasing you!”
Amy was amused by her joke and couldn’t help chuckling. Then she looked at her grandchild and said, “I’m even better than him! He might be hiding somewhere and crying!”

“Grandma…” Sheryl took Amy’s hands.

“I’m just moving out. It will not change anything. It doesn’t mean that you can’t see me anymore!”

“I know,” answered Amy. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and then sighed. She continued, “Your grandpa and I are so happy to see you and Charles get reunited. But… we are just sad that you’re moving out again! It hasn’t been long since you stayed with us.”

“How about this?” Sheryl smiled. “I will visit you every week after moving back to Charles’ house. You can also live with us every now and then. What do you think?”
“Great! Anything you say!” Amy smiled. “Since you and Charles are reunited, what about your wedding? Are you going to have the wedding ceremony again? We were not even there when you got married. None of your relatives were able to attend the ceremony at all. It was a pity for us forever. So your grandpa and I hope of you holding another wedding ceremony.”
