Chapter 987 The Proposal


    "I''m good," S replied to Donna shortly. She stared at George silently until he felt ashamed and


    lowered his head. Finally S said, "Leave! I don''t want to see you anymore!"


    "S, I..." George wanted tofort her even though he knew that it was impossible for him to cure


    her broken heart. When he saw S standing in front of him, he panicked. After all, it was all his fault.


    "I''m so sorry. I have no idea what happenedst night. I was not in my senses."


    "Save your apologies." S burst into a bitterugh. "When you hugged me, I didn''t push you away


    because I love you! I thought you were..." She choked on her words and couldn''t go on.


    "S... Are you saying that George came to youst night?" Donna asked as she creased her


    eyebrows, pretending to analyze S''s words.


    "Of course, he did!" S cried. "He came into my room."


    In fact, George was suspicious about this whole affair. Originally, he had assumed that it might have


    been a trap which S had set for him. But now, it looked like S was innocent.


    He was the beast who refused to take responsibility for his actions.


    "What the hell is this?!" Donna grabbed George by his shirt cor. "What have you done? Why did you


    do this to her? If you don''t like S, then why did you touch her? What do you take her for? You have


    dishonored her!"


    "Mom, I really don''t remember what happenedst night. I only remember going upstairs to sleep. My


    memory is totally nk after that." George tried to exin his innocence, feeling hopeless.


    As Donnaforted S on one side, she continued to scold George, "You can''t just excuse yourself


    like that! You have to take responsibility for what you have done to S. I won''t allow you to insult her


    this way. Call Holley right now! You must break up with her today."


    "Mom... Please don''t make me do that," George pleaded. He looked at Donna and begged, "I can''t lose


    her!"


    "I really don''t understand why you are so obsessed with her! What enchantment has she done on


    you?" Donna asked angrily. She felt powerless in front of her stubborn son.


    "I don''t know that either." George''s expression softened as he mentioned Holley''s name. His memory


    went back to the first time he had met her and a sweet smile appeared on his face. "When I saw her for


    the first time, I swore to myself that I would treasure her and protect her for the rest of my life. And no


    matter what happened, I would take care of her. That is the promise I had made. I will never betray it."


    "Enough!" S shouted. George''s frank confession about his love for Holley utterly broke her. She


    pleaded to Donna, "Aunt Donna, please let him go! I don''t want to listen to more of this. Please, just let


    him go!"


    "Rx, dear. I will," Donnaforted S for a while. Then she turned around and yelled at George,


    "Why are you still here? Leave now!"


    George looked at S''s sorrowful expression and said in a guilty tone, "S, I know that I am at fault


    here. I know that I could never make it up to you in this life for what I have done to you. But I promise


    you that no matter what you want, I''ll try my best to support you in whatever way I can. I''m really sorry."


    George turned around and left as soon as he finished saying that. S gazed at his receding figure


    and finally burst into a rage of tears.


    "My dear, don''t cry," Donna took S in her arms andforted her. "Sometimes, you have to sacrifice


    something in your life before you can gain what you want. Do you understand?"


    "Aunt Donna..." S sobbed and raised her head to look at her. She cried desperately, "I don''t


    understand the point of my sacrifice. I have given myself to him thoroughly. But what does he give in


    return? His love deration to Holley! I...I don''t have a reason to carry on. I''m tired. I..."


    "I understand, dear girl," Donnaforted S. "Believe me, you won''t have to wait too long. I promise


    you, George wille around and change his mind. He will return to you before long."


    "Really?" S asked in disbelief. She had always been hopeful that George would love her someday.


    However, after what had happened today, there was only desperation left inside her.


    She even started to doubt whether Donna''s n was the right choice or not.


    Donna patted on her back and reassured her, "Believe me. That day will soone."


    S gave her a bitter smile. She didn''t answer Donna because she was unsure whether she should


    hold on to that hope.


    After George had left his mother''s house, he headed straight to a jewelry store. He picked the best


    diamond ring he found in the store. He was more anxious than ever to get married to Holley.


    He had a feeling that if he did not go through with this as soon as possible, it would be over between

    him and Holley.


    He couldn''t live without Holley, so he just had to propose to her as soon as possible.


    Even though the diamond ring was not as valuable as the ne fromst night''s auction, it was the


    most precious piece of jewelry in the store and it was also the best one he could find at the moment.


    When the ring was ready, he went to a flower shop. He asked them to decorate a room for him with


    flowers and then he called Holley to invite her for dinner.


    Holley showed up at seven at the restaurant he had reserved. George walked out to wee her. He


    gave her the beautiful bouquet of roses. "Holley, you look gorgeous tonight."


    "What''s up with you?" Holley asked coldly, untouched by his loving gesture. She was still mad at him


    about the incident at the auction. She red at him and said, "Do you have anything to talk to me


    about? If not, I''m leaving. I don''t want to waste any time with you."


    "Let''s go inside first." George didn''t care about her cold attitude. He opened the door for her and let her


    in.


    The moment Holley entered the room, she knew that it was especially prepared for her. Beautiful


    flowers were arranged all over the room. Warm candles were scattered around in different ces,


    giving a faint angelic glow. It was like a fairnd. She turned around towards George in surprise. Even


    though they had been together for a very long time, this was actually the first time he had done


    something romantic.


    "You..." Before Holley could say anything, George went down on his knee. He gazed at her with his


    loving eyes and took out the ring box.


    Tears of joy filled Holley''s eyes. She had been waiting for this moment from the very first day they had


    met. She had thought that this day was too far away and unforeseeable. However, it hade sooner


    than she had imagined.
