The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1068 Do You Dare

"Tell me then...

how should I talk to you?"

George sneered. His eyes narrowed as he looked at Holley. "Do you think I should still treat you as gentle as before?" As he took a single step forward, he seemed dangerous. "Holley Ye, do you really think that's possible?

You've done so many disgusting things. If I still remained gentle to you, what a fool I would be!"

"George, listen. I can explain." Holley eagerly tried to convince him. "Things are not what you think "

"Enough!" Without letting her finish, he retorted, "It doesn't matter what the truth is. I know that's not what you're going to tell me. You don't have to waste your breath anymore."

"You..." George's indifference towards her drove Holley furious. If it had been in the past, she would have lost her temper. Back then, he cared about her feelings so much that she never had to control her reactions.

In the past, whether George was wrong or not, he would be the first to shoulder the mistakes. 'George has really changed. This is the only chance I'll get to talk to him in a long time. If I lose my temper right now, I'll lose this opportunity,' she thought.

With that thought and concern in her mind, she suppressed her anger and took a deep breath. "George, don't treat me like this, okay? Now that you're sitting here, you have to talk to me. That's all. Please control your hostility towards me. I came here to talk to you. Do you have any idea how hurt I was when I saw you getting married to Sula?"

"Hurt?" Upon hearing her words, he scoffed as if he heard a bad joke. There was no longer any warmth in his heart for her. "Holley Ye, would a wicked and vicious woman like you really get hurt? Are you even capable of feeling that kind of pain?"

"George, you..." George's harsh and rude words left Holley shocked. Wearing a wry smile, she said, "Do you have to hurt me so harshly? George, I've been with you for three years. You clearly know what kind of person I am. I have to admit that sometimes I've got a bad temper and always rely on you to lift my mood. But you need to know that I really take our relationship seriously. I really love you and I don't want to lose you. Do you understand?"

"Love?" George's tone was as sarcastic as it was cold. "It's ridiculous to hear this word coming from your mouth, Holley. A disgusting woman like you won't know what love is, let alone a loving relationship. What you want, what you love, and what you do are all merely things you can benefit from."

"No!"

With a bitter smile, she tried to sincerely profess her love for him. "I know that no matter what I say, you won't believe me. But George, I must tell you that I really love you more than anything. I know that I've done a lot of wrongs but...

you can't deny that I take our relationship seriously." Afraid that George would walk away at any minute, Holley spoke hurriedly.

"Our relationship..." A trace of hesitation flashed across George's face but remembering all she had done, he instantly turned indifferent once again.

Scorning Holley's sincerity, he simply said, "Sorry. I don't remember much of it."

When his aloofness reached her, her smile turned wry. Although she knew it would be difficult to win back George's heart, she never would have expected to deal with such strain while talking to him. Even with all the odds against her, Holley stared at George for a moment and found it within herself to give him a warm smile. "George, do you remember? You told me before that you would never marry anybody else on earth except me. You also said that if your mother didn't approve of our marriage, you would run away with me. Have you really forgotten all the promises you made to me?"

"Holley, do you really think bringing that up means anything to me now?"

he said, his eyes stern and hard. "I've dedicated everything to you. For three whole years, you've kept me in the dark, treated me like a fool. To be with you, I didn't hesitate to cut ties with my family. It was really... It was really just ridiculous of me to do all that.

You have to remember that our relationship is completely over now. Please don't bother me and my wife again in the future. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it."

"Must you really be so heartless and cruel?" Holley bitterly replied. "Yes, I've admitted to my faults. I told you all the conflicts between me and Sheryl before. You said you understood and supported me. But what happened afterward?

You knew I wouldn't give up my revenge, but you still..."

The more Holley thought about it, the more she felt wronged.

"Well, no one will stop you from taking your revenge in the future."

He dismissed her callously. "You can do whatever you want and take as much revenge as you wish. There will never be anyone to say no to you anymore."

"George, I..."

Facing his aloof attitude, Holley leaned in closer and took his hands in hers. Looking at him, she said, "I don't want anything anymore. I don't want anything...anything but to be with you."

Making a sincere promise, she swore to him, "George, I truly know I've done wrong. I don't want to take revenge anymore. I just want to be with you, even if...

even if I have to become your mistress. I don't care. I know you don't really love Sula, do you?"

Not giving him a chance to say anything, she continued, "I know you're with her because she's pregnant and you want to take responsibility. I know you, George. You can rest assured that I will never push you into another dilemma. I will wait for you. I'll wait for you to break up with Sula. But George, I beg you! Don't leave me alone. I really... I have nothing but you.

Have you forgotten? I'm pregnant as well. We're going to have a child soon."

In that situation, George didn't expect Holley to continue trying to lie to him. He scoffed at her words and shook off her hands as if he was repulsed by her touch. "You're still trying to lie to me, really? Even now? You make me sick."

"I... I didn't..."

Understanding that nothing was getting through to him, her mouth twisted into another bitter smile. "What I said is true. George, you must believe me."

"Okay."

His face was almost white with anger. "The hospital is open. I'll go with you. Let's have a body check to see if you're really pregnant. If you are, I promise I'll be responsible for you."

His voice turned dangerously low as he looked at her with eyes full of anything but warmth. "How about that? Do you dare?"
