The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1007

Donna was a bit guilty to see George being so disheartened; after all, he was her own son. No mother in the world would like her child to be unhappy.

She sat by him and tried to make him feel better. "Well, you would need to let go of the past and move on. You should break up with Holley. I mean it. This would be for your own good."

"But Mom, was that true or not?" George asked. He tried to control his shivering hands.

Donna paused and asked, "What was true or not? What were you talking about?"

George said through gritted teeth, "Sula told me about Holley had murdered someone. I need to know if it was true or not." Even though they had been together for quite a long time, George realized that he really didn't know Holley that much.

He could remember that he initially doubted her once, but later dismissed it.

So that was why he now felt betrayed.

Donna looked at her son with gloomy eyes. She remained silent as she went over her thoughts.

She hesitated to tell him the truth.

George confirmed his doubts from the expression on his mother's face.

He took a deep breath and asked her again, "Mom, tell me the truth. I can take it."

She sighed, "Come on, my son. Couldn't you just let it go? Did you know why I never told you about it? That's because I didn't want to you to get hurt. So why wouldn't you just forget it?"

George clenched his fists. "No, Mom, I couldn't. I wouldn't want to be treated like a fool. I need to know what happened. Tell me the truth, please!"

He recalled how touched he was when Holley initially told him about her sad stories. After hearing her, he made up his mind to take good care of her. All this time, he thought that he was the only one that she could rely on.

He never expected that Holley concealed the truth from him from the start. It was ironic that even though he noticed something was wrong with her, he never thought that he should investigate about her past.

So it was possible for Holley to do that kind of thing to Susan.

Donna paused for a while, and then she glanced at George. "You would want to know the truth, wouldn't you?"

He nodded firmly, "Yes, Mom. Go ahead. I'm ready."

She sighed, "Okay. I'd tell you since you insisted. I didn't mean to ask for it, but I found it out by accident. You know, I didn't like Holley since the first time that we met. Later at Cary's charity gala, I learnt that she seemed to be hostile with Sheryl. So I thought that since they are nemesis, it would probably be a better choice to join forces with Sheryl to fight her. But I didn't expect Sheryl to tell me such an incredible story."

She smiled bitterly as she recounted what Sheryl had told her. George listened attentively. He grew more astonished as she went on, and turned completely pale after Donna had finished speaking.

"George, are you okay?" Seeing him so upset, Donna regretted telling him what she knew.
