ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 3 - Season 11 Episode 66

“I need to entertain my guests, so I’ll take my leave first. I’ll see you around, Sheryl.” George smiled warmly, ending their chat.

Sheryl nodded slightly and returned his smile. The wedding went smoothly. She only had to leave the rest of the matters to Joanne; she could go home and have a good rest.

Though she didn’t see any signs of Holley lurking around when she headed out of the hotel, Sheryl was fully aware that Holley would not easily give up.

Majority of the guests, who specially came to attend George and Sula’s wedding ceremony, were all from Korea. George found this overwhelming and decided not to leave for home yet. He thought that staying with them would show his deep appreciation, so the newly-wed had to wait for the dinner to be over before going home.

Shortly after, as they were making their way out of the venue, Caspar and his wife stopped him. “George…”

Sula’s father had too much to drink. It was a grand celebration for him. Though he was reeling from drunkenness, he was in bliss.

He was so happy and pleased to see George doting on his daughter. “Now that you have married Sula,” Caspar began as he gently patted Sula’s shoulder, “there is something…I still have to ask of you.”

“Dad, should there be anything, just let me know,” George responded warmly. The way he addressed Caspar as “Dad” sounded so natural.

That particular call also made Caspar feel comfortable. “Since you have married Sula, you should be kind to her not only now but also in the years to come. If I hear or find out that you are mistreating her, I won’t forgive you.”

“Dad, don’t worry. I will never let that happen.” Sula, who stood by them, looked helplessly at Caspar and expressed dissatisfaction with his words. “George treats me very well.”

“Don’t interrupt me,” Caspar said glancing at her daughter. Although he was satisfied with George, there were so many things that he still had to express. And he needed to say them now.

“George, Sula is spoiled by us during her growing up years. She used to give up halfway. And as soon as she suffered from a little injustice, she’ll quit. But she likes you…” Caspar paused for a while as if gathering his thoughts, then he went on, “Only that thing never makes her say she gives up.”

Caspar sighed, “The real reason I disagreed with your marriage before is not that I didn’t like you. I was worried that Sula could have been wronged. Now that you are husband and wife, from now on, you can live your life happily. If there is anything wrong with her, you can criticize and correct her.”

“Dad, I just want to love her,” George gently smiled.

Caspar felt so satisfied with George that he stared at him for a long time, and then he exclaimed, “You are tired today. Just have a good rest. We will go back to Korea with these relatives and friends tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?” George repeated in shock. “Why don’t you stay here for a few more days?”

“No.” Caspar shook his head. “There are some things to deal with in the company.”

“Oh, I see.” George nodded and promised to Caspar, “You can rest assured that I will treat your daughter right. When I finished my task in the company, I’ll go back to Korea with Sula. And then it will be more convenient for you to see Sula.”

Sula was stunned after hearing what George had mentioned. She had no idea about this. She refrained herself in probing George further about his plans in front of his father. She did not want to spoil his father’s good mood.

Caspar had thought that it would be difficult for him to see her in the future since she got married outside of Korea. Never did he expect that George would make such a decision. Of course, he was more than happy with it. “Well, you go back to rest. Sula is pregnant. She must be tired. See you at home,” he beamed.

“Okay.” George agreed and assisted Sula in getting into the car.

Sula couldn’t help staring at George, which made him uncomfortable. Touching his face, he asked, “What happened? Is my face dirty? ” “No, no,” she smiled. “Why didn’t you tell me about going back to Korea?”

Sometimes, she couldn’t help feeling homesick even though she was familiar and acquainted with the way of life in Ylanbu.

She resigned at the thought that she would have a lesser chance to go back after marriage. But to her surprise, he unexpectedly blurted out his plan of moving back. It sounded too good to be true.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you agree?” George asked.

“Yes, I agree.” Sula shook her head slightly. “I just feel a bit surprised.”

“Honestly, I have considered this matter for a long time…” Pausing briefly, he explained, “I came to Ylanbu for Holley. Now that I have ended my relationship with her, I don’t have to stay here anymore, so I want to move back. It is the best choice for us.”

Sula fell silent and then she managed to speak her mind. “So…the reason you want to leave this city is Holley? ”

Although they were already married, she would still feel a little uncomfortable when he mentioned Holley.

“What are you thinking about?” George was worried when he heard Sula’s small voice. Giving her a wry smile, he implied, “Are you misunderstanding me again?”

Sula said sourly, “You came here for her before. And now, you will also leave for her. In your heart, is she still so important?”

“You are so easy to make blind and disorderly conjectures,” he remarked, watching her closely. “I admit that I came here for her. But Sula, Holley and I have gone our separate ways. The relationship is over. And I only have two reasons why I want to go back to Korea. First, I want to avoid her so we can start and live our lives at peace, and second, I do hope that you can get closer to your parents.”

George put on his charming smile. “I know that you feel homesick even if you don’t mention that. Am I right?”

“You… Are you telling the truth?” Sula stammered incredulously. Her chest began pounding hard at that moment, but she knew she heard it right.

“Of course.” George touched Sula’s hair, a gesture that seemed to comfort her, and then he reassuringly declared, “Don’t let your mind wander off. We are married. You are the one for me. Do you want to doubt me all day?”

Sula suddenly felt better. She felt reassured. Gazing at George, she solemnly promised, “I won’t do this again in the future.” Her mood brightened up like sunshine because of George’s loving words.

They arrived home shortly. George first got out of the car and went to the other side to open the door for her. With a gentle voice, he said, “Slow down. Be careful.”

“I see.” Still beaming at him, Sula protested, “I am not a child anymore.”
