Chapter 954 Mama''s Boy


    After pausing for a while, Cary continued, "At least, I don''t find her annoying. Even though we always


    bicker, I like being with her."


    Upon hearing this, Sheryl was certain that Cary was into Susan.


    When she and Charles first got married, they seldom agreed on anything. As soon as they got to know


    each other, though, they began to fall in love. At the thought of this, she couldn''t help but burst out


    Her reaction put a puzzled look on Cary''s face. "What? Why are youughing? You think I look like an


    idiot, don''t you?"


    "No, no no, don''t get me wrong. I''m notughing at you," she exined in a hurry. "Susan is so upset


    with you. I was just wondering how you guys would end up being together."


    Breaking outughing himself, Cary thought about it. "Just let nature take its course," he said with a


    smile.


    "Well," Sheryl began. Her brows furrowed in concern as she thought of Holley. Looking at Cary, she


    asked him, "Have you been to BM Corporation?"


    "Yes," he replied with a little nod. After he ryed George''s response to her, Sheryl''s forehead was


    wrinkled into a frown. "Looks like I underestimated Holley. George is at her mercy."


    Heaving a sigh, Cary agreed, "I didn''t expect this either. I''ve found awyer for Susan. I will negotiate


    with Holley on her behalf. I don''t know whether Susan and I will be together. But I''ll do everything I can


    to help her terminate her contract with BM Corporation. She''s a good girl. I can''t bear to see her being


    bullied there." His tone was firm as he said it. When he spoke, the determination on his face was


    evident.


    Sheryl returned his determination with earnest gratitude. "Thank you!" With that, Sheryl was sure that


    Cary was the only one who could help Susan get rid of Holley.


    The more she mulled it over, the more she believed that George was the only one who really had


    Holley''s back. ''What if George breaks up with her? Can she still be so unruly?'' Sheryl wondered.


    "I heard from Charles that you and George were ssmates. Is that true?" Sheryl finally asked after


    some hesitation.


    With a nod, Cary affirmed, "Yes, we were. Back in the university, we were at the same dormitory and


    were on good terms with each other. But since we graduated, we had lost contact. When I met him


    again after college, we were already in Y City."


    "Well… how much do you know about him and Holley?" Susan''s ident always reminded Sheryl that


    she couldn''t just stand by and she had to strike back.


    Shaking his head, Cary repeated the name, "Holley..." Broodingly, he recalled, "When we were at the


    college, George was a bookworm. He focused on his studies and spent most of his time at the school


    library. He had no time to date girls, from what I saw. I remember that I even needed to inform him in


    advance if I wanted to y basketball with him. At the time, he had few friends, not to mention


    girlfriends."


    After pausing for a moment to think, he continued, "As for Holley, I never actually met her. They started


    to see each other after college, I guess. So I don''t know how they met."


    Narrowing her eyes, Sheryl simply said, "I see…" Initially, she had nned to learn something about


    Holley from him but it turned out that he knew nothing about George''s girlfriend.


    Holley''s identity remained a mystery to her and she still had no idea how to handle the woman.


    With resolve, she thought, ''Am I just going to do nothing and let her hurt the people I care about? No, I


    can''t. I must do something.''


    When he noticed the troubled look on Sheryl''s face, Cary broke the tense silence abruptly. "I know


    nothing about Holley but I do know George rather well." For some reason, his instincts told him that


    what he was going to say might be of some help to her.


    "He has lived with his mother since he was little so she''s more important to him than anyone else in the


    world. He would do whatever his mother asked of him," he began. "Because of that, I always teased


    him and called him a mama''s boy. He never got mad about it, though. He said that his mother had


    suffered a lot to raise him alone so he must listen to her."


    The story had Sheryl stunned. ''George is so nice to his mother. People like him are so rare nowadays.''


    Seeing that the topic interested Sheryl, Cary went on, "To begin with, we never understood why he was


    such a sweet boy to his mother. Later on, though, we found out why. His mother went to see him once


    and treated me and the other boys to a meal. After we met his mother, we saw what kind of person she


    was and we stopped making fun of him.


    George''s mother runs a bigpany and does the job better than any man. She obviously has a knack


    for business. She''s aggressive and arbitrary. Since she brought him up, he''s been used to doing all she


    asks, so he never doubts her words." After hearing Cary''s story, Sheryl lifted her brows. "Well, since his


    mother is such a person… didn''t she ever intervene with George''s dating life?"


    "That''s what confused me most too," Cary mentioned. "George''s mother treated me and the other guys


    to a meal for appearance''s sake. I knew that she really just wanted to know her son''s friends. She


    wanted to know what kind of people George got on with. She cared about her son so much that she

    went through all that trouble. I don''t think she would just leave George''s love life alone."


    With a snort, he continued, "During that meal, his mother said that George always followed her


    arrangements and never disappointed her. She also said that she had already chosen a path for him,


    including his job and marriage. So… she must have an arranged marriage for George already. It''s too


    surprising that George is with Holley."


    With knitted brows, he went on, "After that meal, George distanced himself from many of his close


    friends. Some were from poor families and somecked ambition. He maintained good terms with me,


    though. I guess… I guess his mother said something to him about them, or he wouldn''t have


    abandoned them.


    I don''t think George''s mother would ept Holley as her daughter-inw. But they''ve been together for


    so long… Holley must have used some special means to make George love her wholeheartedly and


    disobey his mother." As the scowl left his face, Cary came to a conclusion. "That''s all I know about


    George. I don''t know if that can be of any help to you."
