The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 664

"Okay, whatever you say, Mom," George concluded. He no longer wanted to debate with her.

Donna continued trying his patience,"George, I need you to drive us to a local restaurant right now. We've been starving ever since we arrived in Y City." Donna knew George was waiting for Holley but she had other plans.

He frowned and said,"Mom, let's just wait a few more minutes. I'm sure Holley won't be much longer."

"I don't see any reason for me to wait for her right here!" Donna complained. "We can just as easily do it at a restaurant, while we're eating. Now, stop wasting my time and let's go!"

"But she..." George intended to argue. His words ended up trailing away, though. He wanted to take Holley's side but her lack of punctuality was frustrating him too. He decided to wait for Holley a bit longer, but Donna was growing more and more impatient.

"No more waiting, I said! Sula and I need to go eat something right now. So let's go!" Donna's demanding and condescending tone, however, was only making George more stubborn.

Seeing that, she grabbed him by the wrist and urged him on a calmer note,"We can no longer wait. Let's get to a restaurant. You can send her our location by phone afterward."

Eventually, George had to give in to her pleadings; otherwise, she would have not stopped nagging.

That wasn't enough for Donna, however. Out of nowhere she began suggesting that Sula sit in the front and beside George so she could take the backseat. According to her, that lessened her carsickness.

"Mom, since when do you get carsick?" George expressed his surprise. He knew she was lying. She had never mentioned something like that to him before. Also, the way to handle motion sickness is by sitting in the front of a vehicle, not the back. He then came to realize that perhaps Holley was right in disliking Donna, after all. She would say and do anything to get him to go after other girls.

"George, are you calling me a liar?!" she revolted. She continued putting on an act as she sat herself down in the backseat, with exaggerated gestures and taking as much space as possible.

George did not want any more drama. So he asked Sula to sit next to him.

As they were driving, Sula noticed the girly accessories all around the car: stickers, velvet cover for his steering wheel, bling air freshener and many more knick-knacks that were laying around. She slowly leaned in quite close to him to observe the gold trim on his side-view mirror and asked,"George, help me elucidate this mystery? Did you get all these... unusual objects around your car as gifts that you feel obligated to use?"

George sensed her sarcasm. He threw her a glance and began explaining,"These accessories... are of top quality. They are Holley's touch; I am not an expert of car decorations, so she offered to help me style my car."

"I hope she appreciates having the honor to take care of your image," commented Sula. She looked confident, on top of her game, while saying those words.

She had wanted George for a long time but Holley got to him first.

The fact that Sula came from an eminent family that matched George's family status made her a prime candidate as a daughter-in-law for Donna.

So she encouraged Sula to win her son's heart.
