ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 3 - Season 11 Episode 55

Placing the orange juice in front of Sula, Sheryl said with a friendly smile, “Please have this. You’re pregnant now. Tea isn’t good for you.” Her considerateness took Sula by surprise and she returned the kindness with a polite smile. “Thank you, Sheryl.”

With a smile, Sheryl turned to George, wanting to get straight to the point. “I actually invited you here to discuss about the wedding arrangement. We’ve already worked out the stage rendering and it’s almost ready. But as for the floral patterns and some other details, I want to inquire about Mrs. Obrien’s opinion. After all, a wedding ceremony is most important to a woman. I’m sure Mrs. Obrien wants to have a memorable wedding.”

With that, she handed the stage rendering to Sula. Since George filled her in about his fiance’s requirements, she came up with a theme designed for them. When Sula went over it, she was quite satisfied.

With an approving smile, she praised, “I finally understood why George insisted on having you organize our wedding. You really have an eye for it.”

“What do you think about the layout?” Sheryl’s diplomatic smile was pristine.

“I love it,” Sula replied with a nod. A thought suddenly occurred to her, making her frown. “But there are only a few days left. Are you sure we can pull this off?”

“Please don’t worry about that,” Sheryl reassured with a smile. “Now that I took this job, I won’t let you down. I promise you that you’re going to have a grand wedding.”

“That’s good to hear!” she sighed with relief. “As for the flowers, I think the roses will do. I don’t really have any special requirements for the other parts, so I believe you can handle what’s left. I will just leave the rest to you.”

“That’s good to hear!” she sighed with relief. “As for the flowers, I think the roses will do. I don’t really have any special requirements for the other parts, so I believe you can handle what’s left. I will just leave the rest to you.”

“Alright, understood,” Sheryl nodded. The three went on to discuss the wedding. As soon as they finished, the couple stood up, ready to leave.

Albeit with some hesitation, Sheryl called George back. “Mr. Obrien, I’d like to have a chat with you in private.”

“Pardon me?” George looked rather stunned. As she cast a look at Sula, Sula understood Sheryl’s intentions immediately. Knowing that she had something important to tell George, she decided to give them a moment.

Seeing Sheryl’s expression, Sula speculated that Sheryl would mention something about Holley. Since George moved in with them, she gave him more credit and now didn’t mind leaving him alone to talk about his ex.

With a gentle smile at her partner, she said, “I’ll wait for you in the car.”

“Okay.” Deciding to go along with it, George simply nodded.

As Sheryl focused her attention on Sula, she gratefully said, “Thank you for your understanding. I’ll treat you to a good meal someday.”

“You’re most welcome.” With that, Sula turned around and left the office.

As some silence built up, George and Sheryl were then left alone in the room. “So, what is it?” he asked.

“It’s about Holley.” It was obvious from Sheryl’s face that she was feeling troubled. “I have one thing to tell you.”

Since she followed Holley’s car and saw her reach her apartment, she had reflected quite a bit last night—it was necessary to have a talk with her sister.

As George had promised that he would handle Holley, she wanted to talk about the matter with him.

“Is it about sending her to prison?”

His tone seemed rather tentative. When he saw Sheryl nod slightly in confirmation, his brows furrowed before he continued, “I thought we already reached an agreement on this. Why would you suddenly bring it up?”

“Please hear me out first.” Wearing a bitter smile on her face, she explained, “I understand that Holley hurt you deeply. I also know that you want to get even with her. But…she is my sister. Last night, I learned what had happened to her three years ago. I was wondering if…well…I want to give her a chance.”

While George remained unresponsive, she went on, “I know you want to get rid of her but once she sees you and Sula get married, she’ll stop badgering you. I hope you can just leave her to me.”

His forehead wrinkling into a frown, George began to speak. “But I did all this to take revenge on her and you know it. I…”

“I know,” she echoed back. Breaking into a sad smile, she continued, “I know Holley did many things to you in the past. But you had been together for three years. I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to handle her. Please let me take care of her.”

Although it took further convincing, Sheryl’s efforts were not in vain. George finally gave his consent to her request.

“Since you said it like that, I can’t keep refusing you. I’ll leave Holley in your charge.” With a sigh, George let himself give in.

Rapturous, Sheryl beamed at him. “Thank you, Mr. Obrien. Thank you so much,” she gushed.

“You’re welcome,” he returned. Flashing a wry smile, he proceeded, “After everything that’s happened, I’ve found that revenge is a rather small thing. It doesn’t truly matter in the grander scheme of things. All I truly want to do now is take good care of Sula and the unborn baby. She’s done too much for me these past few years so…I can’t fail her again.”

“That’s good to hear.” Sheryl’s grateful smile turned hearty. “Nothing is more important than family. I am glad you realized this.”

Putting on a big smile, George excused himself, “Sula is waiting for me. I got to go.”

As she observed George’s receding figure, she suddenly felt bad for Holley. ‘If she had cherished him, they would have lived happily ever…

But…’

Releasing a bitter laugh, she thought, ‘It’s too late.’

While Sheryl intended to forgive Holley and have a talk with her, Holley racked her brains just to plot against her. When Holley finally got a number, she made a call after some hesitation.

“Hello?

Who am I speaking to?” A familiar voice resounded from the other end of the line.

A vicious smile appeared on Holley’s face as she cut to chase. It doesn’t matter who I am. I just want to know if you still want to get back at Autumn.
