The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 988

Holley was utterly surprised by what George was doing. She couldn't believe it and responded, "What... what are you doing? Get up now!"

"Holley, I've been rehearsing this all day. Please let me finish!" George kept still, kneeling on one knee. He continued, "The first time I saw you, I knew you are the right one for me. The years we've spent together are the happiest days in my life. When you are happy, I'm happy for you. When you are upset, I feel upset as well. When you don't want to be alone, I'm always by your side. No matter what, I'm and will be always there for you, because I love you! You are my dearest one! You're everything to me! You bring happiness to my life!"

As George confessed his love affectionately, he opened the tiny box, inside which rested a sparkling ring. Finally, he proposed, "Holley, I will love you forever! Will you marry me?"

"You...I..." Holley was so touched that she could not answer him. To be honest, it was a total surprise that George would propose to her right now, because his mother didn't like her. No matter how much George loved her, she thought, he couldn't go against Donna's will.

She had even imagined them as a pair of star-crossed lovers. As long as Donna was alive, she could never be with George.

However, it proved her assumptions wrong. Now the man she loved was kneeling before her, ring in hand, and proposing marriage.

At this moment, Holley had the impulse to give up everything for him, as long as George could be with her. The rest didn't matter anymore.

She stared at George, vision blurred by tears of joy and asked carefully, "Are... are you sure?"

"Of course!" George assured her resolutely. "I swear I will be with you for the rest of my life no matter what. Unless..." George paused.

"Unless what?" Holley asked nervously as George stopped.

"Unless you lie to me," he finished. George smiled at her and asked, "Holley, you won't lie to me, will you?"

Silence. "No," Holley answered after some hesitation. She took a glance at George in panic. She was clear that it was literally a lie from the very beginning. What George loved was her surgically altered face, and the disguised Holley, not who she really was. He had no idea that he was actually proposing to Yvonne Gu.

But so what? As long as she could be with George, she would wear this disguise her whole life.

"Then... Will you marry me?" Holley felt his loving eyes gazing at her.

'Holley, you know what? I know you lied to me before, but I chose to ignore that. I turned a blind eye to them because I love you. I only hope you won't lie to me from now on, '

George said to Holley in his mind.

"Yes! Yes I will!" Holley nodded.

She had other things on her mind. George was the best choice for her right now. She wanted revenge, and she wanted a better life as well. Only George could do these things for her.

George was overjoyed by her answer. She reached out her hand and George put the ring on her finger carefully. He stood up and explained to her nervously, "Holley, I was in a hurry when I bought this, so it might not be perfect. But I promise you that I'll give you a better ring at the wedding. I'll make you the happiest bride!"

"George..." Holley murmured. She was so touched and she nestled herself in his arms. She looked up at George and grinned, "I'm so lucky I met you!"

George also smiled. He kissed on her cheek and hugged her tightly.
