The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 987

"I'm good," Sula replied to Donna shortly. She stared at George silently until he felt ashamed and lowered his head. Finally Sula said, "Leave! I don't want to see you anymore!"

"Sula, I..." George wanted to comfort her even though he knew that it was impossible for him to cure her broken heart. When he saw Sula standing in front of him, he panicked. After all, it was all his fault. "I'm so sorry. I have no idea what happened last night. I was not in my senses."

"Save your apologies." Sula burst into a bitter laugh. "When you hugged me, I didn't push you away because I love you! I thought you were..." She choked on her words and couldn't go on.

"Sula... Are you saying that George came to you last night?" Donna asked as she creased her eyebrows, pretending to analyze Sula's words.

"Of course, he did!" Sula cried. "He came into my room."

In fact, George was suspicious about this whole affair. Originally, he had assumed that it might have been a trap which Sula had set for him. But now, it looked like Sula was innocent.

He was the beast who refused to take responsibility for his actions.

"What the hell is this?!" Donna grabbed George by his shirt collar. "What have you done? Why did you do this to her? If you don't like Sula, then why did you touch her? What do you take her for? You have dishonored her!"

"Mom, I really don't remember what happened last night. I only remember going upstairs to sleep. My memory is totally blank after that." George tried to explain his innocence, feeling hopeless.

As Donna comforted Sula on one side, she continued to scold George, "You can't just excuse yourself like that! You have to take responsibility for what you have done to Sula. I won't allow you to insult her this way. Call Holley right now! You must break up with her today."

"Mom... Please don't make me do that," George pleaded. He looked at Donna and begged, "I can't lose her!"

"I really don't understand why you are so obsessed with her! What enchantment has she done on you?" Donna asked angrily. She felt powerless in front of her stubborn son.

"I don't know that either." George's expression softened as he mentioned Holley's name. His memory went back to the first time he had met her and a sweet smile appeared on his face. "When I saw her for the first time, I swore to myself that I would treasure her and protect her for the rest of my life. And no matter what happened, I would take care of her. That is the promise I had made. I will never betray it."

"Enough!" Sula shouted. George's frank confession about his love for Holley utterly broke her. She pleaded to Donna, "Aunt Donna, please let him go! I don't want to listen to more of this. Please, just let him go!"

"Relax, dear. I will," Donna comforted Sula for a while. Then she turned around and yelled at George, "Why are you still here? Leave now!"

George looked at Sula's sorrowful expression and said in a guilty tone, "Sula, I know that I am at fault here. I know that I could never make it up to you in this life for what I have done to you. But I promise you that no matter what you want, I'll try my best to support you in whatever way I can. I'm really sorry."

George turned around and left as soon as he finished saying that. Sula gazed at his receding figure and finally burst into a rage of tears.
