Chapter 1028 Airport Pickup


    "Holley Ye! Don''t you dare do anything rash, you hear me?" Donna''s eyebrows knitted into a tight frown


    as she warned Holley standing in front of her. "Let me remind you of your promise. Engrave your words


    deeply in your mind. Because once you dare to badger George again after taking my money, I swear, I


    will not spare you."


    Holley shed a harsh sneer on her face. "Take it easy." She looked at the furious Donna in front of her,


    unaffected by Donna''s threat, and assured, "I am a woman of my word. If you also keep your end of the


    promise, then I won''t absolutely let you down. I will finally end things between me and George."


    Holley''s words didn''t assure Donna at all. Instead, her words made her sneer with coldness. She felt


    the desperate need to end the conversation with Holley, so she immediately stood up from her seat.


    Before she left, she looked at Holley and asked, "I believe we have nothing else to talk about. I will take


    my leave first."


    "Aunt Donna," Holley stood and called out in attempt to stop her. Donna turned her attention to Holley


    and waited for whatever she was about to say next. Before Holley could open her mouth to speak, her


    cell phone began to ring. She nced at the screen and found that the caller ID was George. Holley


    picked up the phone and turned to give Donna a suggestive smile. "Please, Aunt Donna, sit back. I just


    have to answer George''s call first before continuing our conversation."


    Donna''s eyes widened slightly. She was stunned by George''s sudden call to Holley and was a little


    confused. ''Why is George calling Holley at this moment? Shouldn''t he be with S right now and on


    their way to pick up S''s parents?''


    Holley immediately answered the call and acted as if she was still in the same intimate rtionship as


    she was with George before everything that had happened. With a tender and sweet voice, she asked,


    "George, honey, what''s wrong? Aren''t you busy? Did something happen?"


    On the other end of the call, George was sitting on his car while he waited for S. Hearing Holley''s


    voice, he shed a little sneer on his face and asked in a calm tone, "Holley, where are you? It''s difficult


    for me to find time to visit you, but why aren''t you at home right now?"


    Panic rose from Holley''s chest as soon as George asked her. In haste, she replied, "I just went out to


    have tea with a friend. Please, wait for me and I''ll be back soon. This won''t take long."


    "You went out with a friend for tea?" George repeated and paused for a while, as if pondering over the


    veracity of her statement. He then pushed these thoughts away and said, "Well, since you are pregnant


    now, the most important thing that you have to keep in mind is to be in a happy andfortable mood.


    Enjoy your tea date with your friend. I have to rush back to work now. Take your time, and don''t hurry


    back to meet me. Just enjoy, okay?"


    With a smirk forming on his face, he added, "Take care of yourself. I''lle back to visit you next time."


    Without waiting for Holley''s response, George immediately ended the call. As soon as the call ended, a


    smirk formed on Holley''s face as well. She turned to face Donna again, who stayed in her spot. "I''m


    sorry for keeping you waiting for a while. George always craves for mypany and is even unwilling


    to part with me. To be honest, thinking about the time that I will separate from him makes me feel that I


    won''t be able to get used to not having him around."


    Donna eyed Holley. She chose not to reply from that, knowing that there was clearly something behind.


    Holley then took this as cue to finish what they had started. "Well, you see, Aunt Donna, there''s a


    thing… that I think I need to remind you of necessarily."

    Donna frowned and replied, "What the heck is it that you want to say?"


    Holley shrugged. "Well, as you can see, my rtionship with George is fairly good and still stable. After


    all, I have been with him for a long time now. The longer we stay together, the harder it will be for us to


    separate from each other and the more pain it will cost him to suffer, so..." Holley paused dramatically


    as she stared at Donna, sending her a warning as well. "So, Aunt Donna, I think you have to give me a


    good and exact timing. Otherwise, if the situation goes on like this… your son, George, is the one who


    well get hurt the most."


    "In a week." Donna''s forehead creased as she red at Holley and gave her an exact promise like she


    asked. "I will give you what you want at most a week."


    Holley frowned slightly and in a dissatisfied tone, she asked, "In a week? Isn''t that too long?"


    "Although I am entirely willing to give you what you want—a bigpany and such arge sum of


    money, you still have to give me some time to arrange all of it." Donna''s eyebrows arched slightly and


    she added, "Moreover, even though thepany is my property, there are still shareholders who own


    shares under me. I have to get their consent first to implement the change, haven''t I?"


    Holley eyed Donna and hesitated for a moment. Even though she wanted to get all they had bargained


    right away, she was convinced that Donna was right. Finally, Holley nodded and warned Donna, "Well


    then, I will wait for a week. However, I have to warn you, Aunt Donna, that even though I am patient


    enough to wait, I still have a bad temper. If I won''t get what I want in a week, then you should never


    have requested me to break up with George, because as long as I live, I will never separate from him."


    Donnaposed herself, not wanting to give Holley the satisfaction that she was affected by all her


    warnings, so she agreed right away. "Very well then," Donna replied and turned her back to leave.


    As Holley watched Donna''s retreating figure, she thought that up to now, she was the one gaining from


    all this. That she was leading this matter, but she had not known before that George had already done


    things behind her back.


    When she knew that George was going to marry S, no one could exactly guess how she would react


    and feel at that time.


    Meanwhile, as soon as George ended the call with Holley, S got in the car. After S closed the


    door, she calmly looked at George and asked, "Who were you calling?"


    George smiled tenderly and replied, "I called my mother to ask about what is going on." After, Georgle


    gently helped her fasten her seat belt. He then reminded S, "Uncle Caspar and Aunt Lizzy are on


    their way, so we must hurry."


    S nodded and looked the road in front of her. She held her hands tightly, somehow feeling a little


    nervous.


    As George started the car and drove forward, he noticed S''s unease and asked her carefully, "Are


    you all right? What''s wrong?"


    With a wry smile forced on her face, S replied, "I don''t know. For some reasons, I''m a little nervous.


    Maybe it''s because I haven''t seen my parents for a long time, and that I don''t really know how they are


    now."


    "Don''t be nervous. I''m here with you." George gave her a gentle smile and reached for her hand,


    making small circles with his thumb on the back of her hand tofort her. S felt a bit relieved at


    this small gesture.


    As soon as they arrived at the airport, S and George stood together by the arrival area, looking for


    S''s parents toe out. When S finally saw the familiar couple, she raised her hands and waved


    at them. "Dad, Mom! We are here!"


    "S!" Lizzy rushed towards them and let go of her luggage to embrace S in her arms. She hugged


    her tightly and then ced her arms on her shoulders to look at her daughter. "Look at you. You have


    grown much thinner now. Aren''t you eating well?" S blushed embarassingly.


    With his luggage in hand, Caspar followed behind and said, "That''s enough. Let''s go back first, and


    then catch upter, okay?"


    His face was stern, letting no one read his real emotions.


    "Yes, yes, we should do that, but since Uncle Casper and Aunt Lizzy just arrived, why don''t we go and


    have dinner first? I''ve already reserved a table in a restaurant," George offered. He then graciously


    helped carry Lizzy''s and Caspar''s luggage, but because Caspar remembered how George badly


    treated S before, he did not show any kindness towards George. Instead, he sneered at him with


    coldness and passed by him, walking ahead towards the exit.


    S turned to look at George. When she was about to say something, Lizzy grabbed her hand, leading


    her out to follow after Caspar, and asked, "S, tell me about you. How are you these days? We


    haven''t gotten to talk much anymore. Is anyone treating you unfairly?"


    S gave her mom a quick smile and replied, "Mom, I''m doing very well. No one is bullying me here."


    She paused and then immediately added, "Don''t trust other people''s nonsense."


    Caspar scoffed with a scowl on his face. "Talking nonsense? Who do you think is talking nonsense


    here? Do you think your parents didn''t know anything when we were away in Korea? How long are you


    going to help hide this brat''s misdoings?"


    "Dad!" S frowned at Caspar and heaved a deep sigh. "That is all in the past now. George changed


    and is very nice to me now. Don''t you..."
