The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 939

"Sorry, I got confused just now,"

Donna smiled as she remarked.

Casting a glimpse at Holley, she thought, 'I can't believe this woman has gotten even more difficult to deal with.'

The dinner they all shared was rather peaceful, in spite of the unpleasant impressions. When it was over, Sula volunteered to clear the table and wash the dishes. George was sitting on the sofa with Holley when Donna came over and patted his shoulder. "George, go help Sula. She's our guest, after all. It's impolite to let her wash the dishes alone."

"But…" Thinking about leaving Donna and Holley alone, George was reluctant to listen to his mother.

"Don't worry." With a smile, Donna assured him, "I'll accompany Holley for you. I also want to have a little chat with her."

George sighed, but agreed. "Fine, then." Before walking off, George turned to Holley in concern, who looked peaceful, but he knew she was feeling restless inside.

Given the incident at dinner, Holley couldn't help but doubt Donna's welcoming tone as she created another chance for George and Sula to spend some time together.

Holley was fully aware of Donna's dislike for her and how she always tried her best to get George and Sula together. Still, it was always almost unbearable for Holley when Donna was so open about her intentions.

"Don't worry, they'll be back soon after they finish up with the dishes." Donna sneered as she said it.

With a sigh, Holley turned to look at Donna in the eye.

The image of the welcoming and friendly host suddenly vanished and Donna's tone turned ice cold. The smile she wore was clearly fake as she said, "I never expected you to stay with George for such a long time. I should remind you that I won't allow you to marry him as long as I live."

"Auntie, I really don't know what you mean." Holley never expected to be accepted by Donna because when it came down to it, she didn't truly care about Donna's opinion at all.

The smile on Donna's face grew even colder as she said, "You're a smart woman. Why are you pretending you don't understand my words?"

"Aunt," Holley sighed, stating her name. "I know you don't like me and that you want George to be with Sula. You never fail to find ways to get them together, even more so when I'm around. George hasn't realized your real intentions but it's too obvious for me. I'm no fool."

Donna's brow shot up intimidatingly. "Of course you're no fool." With the same cold smile, she continued, "You know I don't like you but you still won't let George go. Your shamelessness is truly shocking."

"Huh, what a coincidence." As she remarked, Holley smirked. "You know I'm the only one George loves, but you still do everything you can to get him together with Sula. Your shamelessness is just as shocking to me as well."

"You…" Donna's eyes went wide at Holley's audacity. Almost losing her temper, Donna had to refrain herself in light of what she had suffered when she scolded Holley in the past.
