ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 3 - Season 11 Episode 67

“You are not a child, but you are pregnant with a child,” George said to Sula with a smile. Blushing at his words, Sula looked down at her hands. With a gentle glance at Sula, George took her hand and helped her out of the car. “You must be tired today,” he said. “Go upstairs and take a shower while I heat a glass of milk for you. You should go to sleep early tonight.”

“Yeah, okay.” Sula nodded slowly and looked into George’s eyes. “To be honest, I am really tired today. Wedding is really a very tiring thing. I don’t want to have the second marriage anymore.”

“We’re just getting married,” George complained. “Why are you thinking about the second marriage now?” His brows furrowed with mild disappointment.

Realizing that she said the wrong words, Sula tried to explain herself. “No, no, no. I mean…I don’t mean that…that is…”

“Alright,” George responded slowly. Chuckling at her apparent discomfort, he said, “Sula, you know I’m just kidding around. Don’t take it so seriously.”

Somewhat relieved, Sula exhaled and laughed quietly before glancing at George. “You’ve really changed.”

After getting out of the car, the pair made their way toward the front door, chatting and laughing along the way.

Meanwhile, Holley was waiting at George’s door. She had also been to the wedding today, but failed to speak to George. All she could do was listen to Sheryl’s suggestion that she could wait for George at his door.

When Sheryl had first told her, she didn’t believe it. She didn’t think George could possibly betray her like that. If he ended up marrying Sula, it must be because he was forced to do so. He would never fall in love with her.

But as she saw the pair emerge from his car and the pleasant way George interacted with her, Holley realized her mistake.

‘Should I just give up?’ she thought to herself. ‘No, I definitely won’t give up!’

Taking Sula’s hand gently, George led her towards the door of his home. Suddenly, a black shadow moved across the steps in front of them. Inhaling sharply, Sula fearfully tightened her grip on George’s hand.

“Who’s there?” George asked sternly.

It was late at night and the lights in his home were off, which made the doorstep shadowy and black.

“It’s me,” Holley said slowly as she raised her head.

“Holley?” George asked coldly.

Glancing at George’s stern expression, Sula concluded that she shouldn’t get involved. Forcing a smile, Holley looked at George. Although he was silent, she could tell he wasn’t ecstatic to see her. It was clear that it was going to be a difficult task getting him back. She tried to stand up, but because she had been sitting there for so long, she couldn’t feel her legs. Instead, she leaned against the pillar for a while to steady herself. Looking intently at George, she said, “Yes, it’s me.”

“Why are you here?” George asked suspiciously, holding Sula’s hand. He instinctively angled his body in an attempt to hide Sula behind him. This immediately made Sula feel safe, and her heart fluttered with appreciation.

Also seeing this reaction, Holley forced a smile and said to George, “You don’t need to protect her, I’m not going to do anything, I just… I just want to talk to you.”

“Is there anything for us to talk about?” George asked with a sneer.

“George…” Holley’s voice trailed off as she looked at George in front of her. She wanted to hold his hand, but knew he would just reject her. Looking Holley in the eye, George said fiercely, “Holley, you and I have nothing to talk about. From now on, we are strangers. I don’t want to see you again.”

“Just let me explain…” Holley pleaded, but George shook his head in frustration.

Seeing Holley pestering George, Sula couldn’t help but involve herself. “George, now that she’s here, you can make it very clear to her where you stand.”

Sighing, Sula continued, “We have no way to get her to stop pestering you. So you should be honest with her right now so that she can move on and we can relax.”

“But…” George protested with a frown. He didn’t want to talk to Holley. Not only was she too hypocritical, but he hated how unpredictable she was.

“Enough.” Sula smiled and quietly said to George, “I trust you. You just have to trust yourself, alright?”

Hearing Sula’s calming words, George finally smiled.

Sula glanced at Holley, who stood across from them with her arms crossed impatiently, and then back at George before saying, “You two should talk privately. I’ll leave you.”

Stretching her arms above her head and yawning, she said to George, “I’m really tired today. I’m going to take a hot bath.”

“If you’re tired you should sleep first, don’t wait up for me,” George responded faintly.

“I see,” Sula nodded. “Come back soon.”

“Okay, I will,” George responded.

Hearing the daily dialogue between the couple, Holley suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Now she could really see how Sula and George acted around one another and it was pretty apparent that they were in love. It felt like Holley’s heart was being ripped from her chest.

Sula smiled as she walked by Holley. While it was just a normal smile, to Holley it seemed like she was showing off.

Glancing briefly at Holley, Sula said, “Miss Myers, please allow my husband to come home early. After all, it is our wedding night.”

Instead of agreeing, Holley looked at Sula’s stomach and asked angrily, “I’ve heard that you’re pregnant?”

“Yes,” Sula responded simply. And with a smile, she turned and strutted into the house.

Seeing Sula shut the door behind her, George turned around and began walking away from Holley. His body was rigid and his body language seemed to say “keep away from me.” “George, slow down, wait for me…” Holley hurriedly tried to keep up with him. In the past, however angry George was, he would always make sure to hold her hand. But now things were very different.

She could only chase after George, who eventually stopped at a coffee shop nearby.

It was quite late and the shop was going to close soon, so they entered quickly. After ordering their drinks, George found a quiet table in the back for them to sit at. Letting out a frustrated sigh, George said, “Just say what you need to say. The store is about to close and you better not delay its schedule.”

“Do you have to talk with me this way?” Holley asked George bitterly.
