Chapter 664: Tell Her Mom The Good News
Helen‘s POV:
The next morning, bright and early, Lucy drove me to the hospital to pick up my mother.
"Why don‘t you buy yourself a car? It will help you get around faster and it will be convenient for you to
pick up your mother from the hospital straight after work," Lucy suggested on our way to the hospital.
"If you need a loan, you can count on me.When you have some spare time, go and look at the kind of
car you would like to have."
"Forget it.I still haven‘t paid you the money I borrowed from you earlier.And it‘s no small sum."
Buying a car was definitely on my to–do list.
As long as I had a car, my life would be easier.I would be able to drive to work, meet clients and
pick up my mother on weekends.
But I hadn‘t paid off the money I had borrowed from Lucy earlier.
"I agree that you owe me a substantial sum of money and it will take you a long time to pay me
back.So what if I lend you a little more? It won‘t make much difference," Lucy said, applying her
peculiar brand of logic.
I was tempted by Lucy‘s offer.
Since my career was on the right track and I had received a sry increment, I would be able to start
repaying her soon.
From the small case in Philly to Zhester Technology‘s merger case, Anya had begun paying me
commission in addition to my basic sry.If the Spacetime Finance‘s acquisition case rolled smoothly,
themission would be considerable.
"I had nned to pay you back some of the money.Now it seems that I have to pay you back after I
finish the Spacetime Finance case and get themission."
"That suits me fine.I have enough funds now.As a rtionship blogger, I often include advertisements
in my work and it pays well.Themission I receive for my work is also very high.So I can easily
afford to loan you the money to purchase a car.We‘ll go and have a look at cars after we take your
mother out of the hospital."
After picking my mother from the hospital, Lucy took us to see the cars.But my mother had a long face.
Why did she look so upset? On the way back, she kept quiet.She kept looking at me as if she wanted
to tell or ask me something, but then stopped herself from doing so.
Lucy sensed that something was amiss, so after dropping us off in front of the apartment building, she
made an excuse and left.
Although Lucy was careless and reckless, she was afraid of offending elders.
Besides, she had noticed that my mother was upset about something and the atmosphere was
bing more and more tense the whole morning.
So to avoid getting involved in any trouble, she left at the earliest opportunity.
The minute Lucy was out of earshot, my mother asked, "Where is George? Why didn‘t hee with
you to pick me up?"
I pointed to a car parked not far away and said, "There he is!"
As soon as I got off Lucy‘s car, I saw George.He was taking out several bags of grocery from the trunk
of the car As soon as my mother saw George, her gloomy mood miraculously disappeared and she
walked briskly towards him George greeted her respectfully, "Hello, Mrs.Dewar.
You look lovely! I’m sorry that I was unable to apany Helen to pick you up from the hospital today.I
had some urgent matters to attend to this morning."
"It doesn‘t matter.I‘m d to see you now."
My mother waved her hand and a beautiful smile blossomed on her face.I had figured out certain things
in my mind and I did not know how to face him now.
Since my mother was with us, I could not discuss anything with him, so I remained silent.I took some
bags from him and walked towards the elevator When we entered the elevator, George stepped closer
to me and casually held my hand.I raised my eyes and stared at him.I tried to shake off his hand but he
held on more tightly.
With my mother present, I could not lose my temper.I could only pinch him secretly to make him
release my hand.
However, that did not work as he didn‘t seem to feel any pain at all.
When we arrived at the door of my apartment, George stopped in his tracks and suddenly said to my
mother, "Mrs.Dewar, could you please go inside first? I have something to talk about with Helen."
"Okay, you guys talk.No fighting though, okay?"
Before she closed the door, my mother stared at me and said, "You‘ve always been such a bad
tempered girl.You have to learn to control it.George is the only one who is kind enough to tolerate you."
Being med for no reason, I felt like weeping but even my tears stayed away from me.
When the door was closed, George and I stood face to face in the corridor.
"Tell me, what happened?"
George asked, recing his smile with a serious look.I looked up at him, and countless ugly images
rushed through my mind.
My heart ached at the thought of him defending Jane.
But it was not the right time to bring it up.I was not in the mood either.
George sighed and asked, "I‘ve brought our marriage certificate with me.Do you want to tell your
mother that we‘re married?"
"Yes." I hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
The main reason that I got married was to make my mother happy.
When we walked in, George handed our marriage certificate to my mother and said, "Mrs.Dewar, we
got marriedst week.Now you can rest assured that all is well."
Tears welled up in her eyes when my mother saw the marriage certificate.She lovingly stroked that
piece of paper with her fingers and cooed, "Helen, my dear! You have finally grown up.I’m so happy for
you."
"Mom, everything will be much better in the future.I promise."
I sat beside her and held her hands tightly.I could feel her releasing whatever tension she had in them.
My mother looked at George and suddenly said to him, "George, in spite of knowing about Helen‘s
troubled background, you married her.It must have been really stressful for you.But don‘t worry.No one
knows what happened to our family after we came to New York.And from now on, I‘ll stay in theExclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.
hospital.You two can just forget about me and live your own happy life.I‘ll stop being a burden to you.If
your parents ask, you can just tell them that Helen‘s parents have passed on."
I felt my heart sink all the way down to my feet when I heard her say that.
The more I heard, the more distraught I became.
"Mom, who are you talking about? You are the dearest and closest person to me.No one is more
important to me than you."
My mother shook her head with a smile and whispered, "From now on, the most important person in
your life is your husband.If you can drop by the hospital to see me asionally, I will be more than
satisfied."
George lowered his voice and said, "Mrs.Dewar, I don‘t agree with your suggestion.Now that I have
married Helen, her mother is also my mother.I will take care of both you and Helen.No matter what
problems we are faced with in the future, let‘s face them together."
My mother excitedly took my hand, ced it in George‘s hand and bound our hands tightly.
Tears of joy streamed down her face.She was really happy that I had found such a good husband.
George broke the silence and changed the topic.
"Who‘s hungry? I‘m going to cook now."
He went into the kitchen and started to cook.
In less than an hour, the table was set with great smelling food.
After a sumptuous lunch, my mother felt a little sleepy, so she went to nap in her room.I sat in the living
room and looked on my phone for the details of the car I nned to buy.I didn‘t know much about cars.I
just chose an economical brand with a nice enough appearance.And now I just wanted to look up more
about the functions of the car.
After cleaning up the table, George came over.He saw the image of the car I wanted to buy on my
phone screen and asked, "Are you thinking about buying a car?"
"Yes," I replied softly.
"What kind of car do you like? I‘ll take you to have a look at it."
"No, thanks.I‘m just taking a casual look now."
"Do you have a driver‘s license?"
"Yes."
Now that he knew I was looking for a car, we were forced to have this awkward conversation.I checked
my phone for a while and found it boring, so I went back to my room for a nap as well.
After dropping my mother at the hospital on Sunday night, I went back to George‘s apartment with him.
When we slept at night, we were very intimate.
Before and after marriage, George always took care of my feelings in bed, and then his own needs.
We were verypatible and happy in bed.
Sex was no longer just a physiological need like Lucy had said.It was a collision of bodies and souls.I
loved him, so I wanted to perform the most intimate act with him.
This realization shed through my mind and tears instantly streamed down my cheeks.I loved this
man? I loved this man! 1 The more the reality of this fact dawned upon me, the more I cried from the
deepest part of my being.I felt desperate.
Now that I had fallen so deeply in love with him, all my feelings would be affected by him.
My happiness, my anger, my sadness...I always ended up feeling so helpless when it came to this
man.
"What‘s wrong?"
George was frightened when he saw my copious tears and hurriedly turned on the light in the room.I
shook my head and turned off the light again, leaving only the bedsidemp on.I didn‘t want him to see
how fragile I was.
"Did I hurt you?"
George bent over and gently wiped away my tears.
"No.It‘s okay.Go to bed." I held his hand andy down again, allowing him to cuddle me in his arms.
"If there is anything bothering you, you know you can tell me," George whispered, stroking my back
gently.
"Yes, I know," I replied lightly.
But in the end I did not disclose anything to him, knowing that he had made his choice.
Even if I said anything, it would change nothing.
This was a gnawing matter between Jane and me.I wanted to solve it myself.
