The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 994

George reeked of guilt, but he broke the embarrassing silence eventually. "Now that you are here, I'm guessing it means that you want to work things out as soon as possible. We'd better sit down and think of a way to solve this. And I know that I am at fault, so I will do anything I can to compensate for my behavior," he offered.

"I came here because I have something to tell you, not because I want anything from you," Sula replied coldly, turning to George. "I am done with you. From now on, you mean nothing to me. We will be strangers if we meet each other again. Is that clear?"

"Are you sure about this?" George asked in a trembling voice, fixing his gaze on her. He was pleased and relieved to hear her decision, but he kept that to himself knowing full well how selfish he was to think that way.

"Yes." Sula nodded firmly. "I have mulled over our relationship in these past few days and I have realized how silly I was to waste so much of my time on you. I admit that I liked you very much, but now I only want to get rid of you from my life. I hope you will respect my wish and stay away from me."

George didn't utter a word. As he stared at her in a puzzled silence, Sula went on, "I will tell Aunt Donna that I am leaving. I have so many miserable memories in this place. I don't want to stay here any longer. I wish you and Miss Ye a lifetime of happiness."

Her heart bled as she spoke. Heartbroken as she was, she had to say those words against her will to honor her pride.

George listened to her patiently and finally let out a deep sigh. He said, "I didn't expect that you would be so understanding. I..."

He was too ashamed to continue speaking to her. 'I have to do this for our happiness. For Holley.'

"Actually, there is one other thing. I need your help," George said, overcoming his sense of guilt and shame.

He knew that he was being unbelievably cruel to Sula, but he had no choice.

After a pause, he went on, "I proposed to Holley. We want to proceed with the wedding as soon as possible."

His announcement left Sula speechless and she was frozen in her place. 'He slept with me just the other day. But he has already proposed to Holley. I really mean nothing to him.

I am such a fool. I thought that he cared about me, ' she thought as bitterness consumed her.

"Why are you saying this to me?" she asked with a sneer. "Is this why you wanted to see me? To show off your love for her?"

"No, of course not! Please don't get me wrong," George replied immeidately as he shook his head nervously. He couldn't bear to proceed when he saw the hurtful look on her face. But at the thought of his girlfriend, he plucked up the remainder of his courage and went on.

"I know that this is difficult for you. To be honest, I feel really horrible about that accident. After all, I have always seen you as my sister and we both didn't want such a thing to happen. But now that it happened, we should find a way to move on from this phase. What do you say?"
