ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 3 - Season 11 Episode 65

“Fine. I’ll see you later,” said Donna. She smiled at Sheryl and went back to the hall. As Donna walked out of sight, Sheryl’s eyes fell on Holley. Although she was being held back by the tall, hefty men in black, she was acting aggressively and was cursing them.

Heaving a deep sigh, Sheryl made her way to Holley and stood in front of her. Holley let out a defiant laugh. She looked daggers at her sister and asked sarcastically, “Why are you here? Did you come to laugh at me?”

As Sheryl remained silent, she reprimanded, “I’ve lost everything. You caused all of this.”

Sheryl gave Holley a sharp glance and said in a calm tone, “I am not here to bicker with you.” She rolled her eyes slightly at her sister’s scorn and went on, “There is no way that you can barge into that hall. If you really care about George, go to his house and wait for him outside. He will be going back home after the ceremony. You might get a chance to talk to him there.”

Holley raised her eyebrows in suspicion and Sheryl sighed, “You shouldn’t have done all those stupid things.”

“What do you want?” Holley asked skeptically as she scowled at Sheryl. “Why are you telling me this now?”

“Don’t get me wrong. I am doing this for myself,” Sheryl replied calmly. “My job was to stop you from ruining the wedding. And now that you can’t break into the hall anymore, my job is done. After the wedding is over, you can do whatever you please. You are my sister, after all. So I wanted to do you one last favor.”

She really hoped that Holley would put her past behind her and get George back.

But she knew that it was asking too much. That was never gonna happen. If Holley could let the hatred go, she and George wouldn’t have ended up this way.

Sheryl gave Holley one last look and left her with that advice. She wanted her sister to face the truth and move on.

Sheryl turned around swiftly and walked towards the hall. There were several bodyguards watching Holley, so there was no way that her sister could break in to the hall.

The ceremony went on smoothly. Both the Obrien family and the Norman family were satisfied with the wedding. After a toast to the guests, George brought Sula to Sheryl. He beamed, “Sula and I should drink a toast to you.”

With a surprised look on her face, Sheryl responded, “You are kidding!”

“No, I am serious,” George said in earnest. Sula nodded her head and said to Sheryl, “Please don’t be so formal with us. We had such a grand wedding and the credit is all yours.”

Sheryl drew a diplomatic smile and replied kindly, “I’m flattered. I just did my job.”

“Come on, Sheryl! Don’t be so modest.” With a genuine smile on his face, George raised his glass and toasted, “This is for you, Sheryl. Thanks to you, Sula and I had such a wonderful wedding.”

With a slight blush, Sheryl gave them a wide smile.

She clutched the glass and drank the wine. Soon after, Sula’s mother dragged her away to greet some guests, leaving George and Sheryl behind. He gave Sheryl a quick glance and asked hesitantly, “Did she come?”

Sheryl nodded silently. Looking up at George, she said frankly, “She found out that you married Sula and insisted on seeing you. Fortunately, your mother sent bodyguards to stop her. I couldn’t have handled her on my own.” “Where… where is she?” George asked with knitted brows.

“I don’t know,” Sheryl replied, shaking her head. “Before I came in, she was being held outside. Perhaps she is still waiting there. Or maybe she left.”

“I hope she has left,” George remarked, a hint of bitterness spreading across his face.

Although he had made up his mind to spend the rest of his life with Sula, it still hurt him that Holley had left from his life forever. She used to mean everything to him, after all.

‘This is where Holley and I go our separate ways,’ he thought.

“Mr. Obrien,” Sheryl called. After some hesitation, she continued, “I have a question for you…”

“It’s about Holley, isn’t it?” George flashed a plaintive smile and went on, “I know what you want to ask.”

“So… what’s your answer?” Sheryl asked him.

“Holley and I…” He let out a wry smile and proceeded, “We had been together for many years. I used to love her sincerely and I wished to spend the rest of my life with her.”

“I have no doubt about that,” Sheryl commented with a sad smile. ‘But Holley never cherished him,’ she thought.

“But…” Sheryl paused for a second and voiced out her thought, “Now that you are married to Miss Sula, I don’t think you should care about Holley like this.”

“I know that you might tease me if I say this…” George said with a bitter smile. “I chose to be with Sula because I wanted to take care of her. But I wanted to be with Holley because I truly loved her and I wanted to marry her and protect her with my life.”

Smiling wryly, he continued to say, “But many things have happened between us, and I know that I have to let her go. I admit that I still have some feelings for her, but I won’t do anything crazy. Since I’ve chosen Sula now, I will not betray her.”

Sheryl admired him for his honesty. Very few people could confess their feelings unreserved like that.

“But…” Sheryl hesitated, but she had to know. After a pause, she continued, “What if she reaches out to you and explains everything to you? Will you believe her?”

“Will she?” George voiced out his thoughts. “She was here, and now knows that Sula and I got married. I don’t think she would want to see me anymore.”

“What if she does?” Sheryl egged him on.

“I will make myself clear to her,” George said in a decided voice. George thought for a while and added, “I was done with her after I found out that she had been lying to me.”

Sheryl took a deep breath. She had advised Holley to meet George at his home. Sula had finally found her happiness. If Holley took George away from her, then Sheryl would be the reason for a lot of sadness.
