The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1068

"Tell me then…

how should I talk to you?"

George sneered. His eyes narrowed as he looked at Holley. "Do you think I should still treat you as gentle as before?" As he took a single step forward, he seemed dangerous. "Holley Ye, do you really think that's possible?

You've done so many disgusting things. If I still remained gentle to you, what a fool I would be!"

"George, listen. I can explain." Holley eagerly tried to convince him. "Things are not what you think—"

"Enough!" Without letting her finish, he retorted, "It doesn't matter what the truth is. I know that's not what you're going to tell me. You don't have to waste your breath anymore."

"You…" George's indifference towards her drove Holley furious. If it had been in the past, she would have lost her temper. Back then, he cared about her feelings so much that she never had to control her reactions.

In the past, whether George was wrong or not, he would be the first to shoulder the mistakes. 'George has really changed. This is the only chance I'll get to talk to him in a long time. If I lose my temper right now, I'll lose this opportunity, ' she thought.

With that thought and concern in her mind, she suppressed her anger and took a deep breath. "George, don't treat me like this, okay? Now that you're sitting here, you have to talk to me. That's all. Please control your hostility towards me. I came here to talk to you. Do you have any idea how hurt I was when I saw you getting married to Sula?"

"Hurt?" Upon hearing her words, he scoffed as if he heard a bad joke. There was no longer any warmth in his heart for her. "Holley Ye, would a wicked and vicious woman like you really get hurt? Are you even capable of feeling that kind of pain?"

"George, you…" George's harsh and rude words left Holley shocked. Wearing a wry smile, she said, "Do you have to hurt me so harshly? George, I've been with you for three years. You clearly know what kind of person I am. I have to admit that sometimes I've got a bad temper and always rely on you to lift my mood. But you need to know that I really take our relationship seriously. I really love you and I don't want to lose you. Do you understand?"

"Love?" George's tone was as sarcastic as it was cold. "It's ridiculous to hear this word coming from your mouth, Holley. A disgusting woman like you won't know what love is, let alone a loving relationship. What you want, what you love, and what you do are all merely things you can benefit from."

"No!"

With a bitter smile, she tried to sincerely profess her love for him. "I know that no matter what I say, you won't believe me. But George, I must tell you that I really love you more than anything.

I know that I've done a lot of wrongs but…

you can't deny that I take our relationship seriously." Afraid that George would walk away at any minute, Holley spoke hurriedly.

"Our relationship…" A trace of hesitation flashed across George's face but remembering all she had done, he instantly turned indifferent once again.

Scorning Holley's sincerity, he simply said, "Sorry. I don't remember much of it."

When his aloofness reached her, her smile turned wry. Although she knew it would be difficult to win back George's heart, she never would have expected to deal with such strain while talking to him.

Even with all the odds against her, Holley stared at George for a moment and found it within herself to give him a warm smile. "George, do you remember? You told me before that you would never marry anybody else on earth except me. You also said that if your mother didn't approve of our marriage, you would run away with me. Have you really forgotten all the promises you made to me?"
