Chapter 993 Meet With Me
"What''s wrong? Did you encounter any issues?" Holley asked inquisitively, as she spotted the
hesitation on George''s face.
She simply could not shake the feeling that he was hiding something from her. She tried to ignore it but
she knew that due to the simple fact that a woman''s intuition was rarely wrong.
urate or not, she hated the feeling that her boyfriend wasn''t being honest with her. It gnawed at her
very core.
With a look of sheer skepticism, she told him solemnly, "Baby, I want you to know that you can be
honest with me no matter what. We''re going to be married soon and we will be spending the rest of our
lives together. I don''t want there to be any secrets between us. You do understand that, don''t you?"
"Don''t be silly, honey," George responded with a forced smile. "Holley, I assure you that I will love you
sincerely and cherish you for the rest of my life. I will never lie to you. I need you to believe me."
"That''s good," Holley said. Satisfied with his response, she snuggled up close to him as she inhaled
very deeply so that she could indulge in his very essence. "Let''s arrange it for tomorrow night. I will
book the hotel, and you call up Donna and invite her to join us for dinner. Oh, and make sure you don''t
forget to also invite S."
George''s eyes widened with surprise when he heard Holley mention S. With knitted brows, he
lowered his head to look at his girlfriend and quickly responded, "I don''t think it''s a good idea to invite
S. She is an outsider. It would be inappropriate for her to be present on such a special assion."
"Why would you say that?" Holley frowned at him. "You know your mother is very fond of her. She
already thinks of her as a part of the family. Besides, she has no friends or rtives here. Do you really
have the heart to let her stay at home alone?"Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.
With a suspicious grimace on her face, Holley said, "What''s wrong with you? You are acting kind of
strange today. Are you sure that there isn''t something on your mind that you''re keeping to yourself?
Maybe something that you''d like to share?"
With an ufortableugh, George said, "Now why would I be keeping anything to myself? I will
make sure to call them."
Holley nodded approvingly at him and replied, "I am going to go and get started on dinner."
"Ummm, okay." While Watching Holley put on an apron and enter the kitchen to begin preparing their
meal, George furrowed his eyebrows.
He was in a bit of a rush to ask Holley to marry him because he wanted to make amends for his
misdeeds. Not to mention that he wanted to make himself feel better. But now he still needed to face
S.
After hesitating for just a moment, he decided to call S and have her meet with him so he could
speak to her face to face.
S was with Donna when her phone rang. She answered the phone and ced it on speaker so that
Donna could hear their conversation. When George invited her out to meet with him tonight, she looked
up at Donna, who was older than her, seeking some advice on what she thought she should do. She
nodded her head in agreement, so S reluctantly epted the invitation.
As she hung up the phone, she looked up to see that Donna was still looking at her. Feeling a little
uneasy, she asked, "Aunt Donna, why do you think he wants to see me?"
"I''m sure that he is reaching out to talk to you about what happened between youst night," Donna
sneered. She knew her son better than anyone else. Holding S''s hand, she urged, "When you meet
George, just say okay and agree with him, no matter what he says. Make sure to keep your wits about
you. I will handle the rest."
S drew in a deep breath before allowing an unsure smile to adorn her face and responded
dejectedly, "Do you really think it will work, Aunt Donna? George is devoted to Holley Ye. What sense
does it make for me to continue to pursue him? Apparently, he''s already made up his mind."
"Believe me, sweetie," Donna reassured the girl, gazing into her eyes with love, care, andpassion.
"As long as I am alive, I will not allow Holley to marry my son. Please give me a little time and just trust
me one more time, okay?"
S had already given up on George. But when she heard Donna''s words, a glimmer of hope welled
up in her heart. So she nodded her head in reply.
Holley made a bountiful meal. George kept adding food onto her te and encouraged her to eat more.
After dinner, he even volunteered to do the dishes. With a tter of fruit, she emerged into the living
room and settled herself on the couch. There, she gotfortable so she could enjoy her favourite TV
show with her fruits.
As George finished up the dishes, he got out of the kitchen and headed straight towards the front door.
Before opening the door, he turned to Holley and said, "Honey, don''t wait for me. I have an
appointment with a client, so I might be backte."
"You are going out at this hour? Isn''t it kind ofte?" Holley asked with knitted brows.
"Yes," George replied with a wry smile. "You know we have a lot of work business to take care of. Go to
sleep whenever you feel the need. There''s no need for you to wait up for me."
"I see," Holley said with a nod. "Drive carefully."
"Bye!" George gazed at Holley for a while and left the apartment.
Holley didn''t even suspect her boyfriend of being dishonest. After all, he usually worked overtime and
reached homete at night. Most importantly, she had faith in George''s love for her. So it never dawned
to her that he would cheat on her.
She headed upstairs and went to sleep after enjoying some of her fruits.
George had suggested to S that she meet with him in a park near his apartment. He arrived first,
and waited for a while before he caught sight of S in her long pink coat.
Watching her as she approached him, he couldn''t help but feel embarrassed.
"Thank you foring. I''m d you''re here," George greeted. With an apologetic smile he said, "I am
sorry to ask you out at this hour, S."
S narrowed her gaze on George and said indifferently, "Let''s get right to it, Mr. Han. No need to
waste time with small talk. You must find it quite tiresome to beat around the bush. I also don''t want to
hear any foolishness."
A tinge of embarrassment shed across his face. Especially when he heard her call him Mr. Han, he
detected that S was distancing herself from him.
He thought to himself, ''She used to call me George intimately. But now she suddenly addresses me so
formally. There''s no doubt that I hurt her very deeply.''
He sensed that there was a disconnect because of what had happened between them the other night.
He was painfully aware that he had offended her and that he needed to make things right between
them.
"S, I..." he stammered.
"Call me Miss Piao, please!" S demanded. Forcing a smile on her face, she continued, "I don''t
believe that we are close enough that you can address me in such a manner."
"S, you..." George reached out to hold her hand but she moved aside and avoided his grasp. Staring
at a silent S, who bit her lips, George knew that it was not going to be as easy to settle this matter
as he had anticipated.
''She is just a girl and now she has lost her virginity, which was not something that she took lightly. Yet
here I am and I''m trying topesate her with money. I''m a wicked, no good, despicable man.
But I am out of options. That''s the only thing that I can do for her right now, '' he thought to himself as
he gazed at this visibly broken girl before him.
At the thought that Holley was waiting for him at home, he mustered up some courage. He took a deep
breath and began, "Miss Piao, I wanted to talk with you about what happened between us that night.
I..."
Cutting him off, S said impatiently, "I''ve already forgotten about it. It was just a stupid mistake.
Please don''t bring it up again."
A long drawn out silence followed as they just red at on another unmoving. With his eyes fixated on
the immovable S, he was immersed in his own thoughts. ''If she really didn''t care about it, would she
really be acting this way?''
