Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 705: No One Can Separate Us 

Helen’s POV:

Fortunately my colleagues didn‘t go back to the hotel with me.I breathed a sigh of relief and walked steadily to the door of George‘s room without hesitation.

George had left the card key for me on the front desk, so I didn‘t knock on the door.I swiped the card key and opened the door directly.

The light in the room was on so I knew that George was inside.I closed the door behind me as I walked in.

George was standing on the balcony, looking out of the window, deep in thought.He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn‘t seem to hear me enter.I walked over quietly and wanted to frighten him, but I didn‘t expect him to suddenly tum around.

Ironically, I was the one who ended up getting scared.I staggered and leaned backwards.I was wearing stilettos.

Lost my balance, I almost fell to the floor. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Fortunately, George quickly reached out and held my waist to prevent me from falling.

Then I regained my balance with his help.

"Why did you turn around so unexpectedly?" I glared at him, annoyed.

If he had not moved fast enough, I would have fallen to the floor.

In reply, George hugged me tightly in his strong arms.

Then he lowered his head and kissed me passionately.I was unprepared for such an intense kiss.I only came to my senses when I felt almost suffocated by his enthusiastic kiss.

His kiss made me weak in the knees.I felt inclined to wrap my arms around his neck and press my body against his.I could feel the heat of his body through his clothes.I then realized that we were on the balcony.

The glass window of the hotel was transparent so anybody could have seen our naughty behavior.I pushed him away with embarrassment, indicating to him to let me go.

He gasped, and his warm breath enveloped my face, making me feel limp and numb.He didn‘t get angry even when I pushed him away.

Instead, he took his hands off my waist and interlocked all his fingers with mine.He stood in front of me in silent wonder.

I immediately sensed that something was wrong, so I asked with concern, "What‘s wrong? Are you unwell? Or is there a problem at work?"

He still didn‘t answer but just stared at me.

There was an imperceptible sense of guilt in his eyes, as if he was hiding something in his heart.

Suddenly, my heart felt like it was dropping toward my feet.

I asked, "Tell me, have you done something behind my back? Did you cheat on me?"

I couldn‘t think of any other reason why he might be so perturbed.

George had always been a man who could hide his emotions.

No matter what had happened in the past, he always bathed me with positive vibes.Now it felt different.He shook his head and refused to utter a word.I couldn‘t say that I wasn‘t very worried now.

"No? Then why do you have that guilty look on your face?"

I stood on tiptoe and turned his face to me, leaving him no chance to escape.

George‘s eyes glistened, and he whispered, "Helen, can you quit the project of Leeson Holdings? I‘ll give you other projects to work on."

He spoke suddenly, looking a little serious.

My heart stopped, and I asked nervously, "Why? What happened? Is there something wrong with this project?"

I had to tread very carefully when it came to work related matters.

Besides, George was in charge of a large company.

Perhaps he had heard some damning internal information.

George shook his head and said, "No.Helen, I need to tell you something."

Seeing him so serious, I felt a sharp chill in my heart.Had he really done something wrong to me? George seemed to have read my mind.

He was both upset and amused as he tapped on my forehead.

"What are you thinking about? Don‘t you trust my moral integrity? How could I ever do anything to hurt you?"

"I don‘t know.It is said that successful men like you look serious on the surface, but are really just lascivious."

George‘s words relieved the lump in my heart, so I teased him.He smiled helplessly and said, "Actually, the lady who introduced the project of Leeson Holdings to you is my mother."

I covered my forehead with both hands and looked at George in disbelief.

"What? Is she your mother?"

All of a sudden, I became nervous and started perspiring.

The scene of meeting that lady kept flashing through my mind in ghastly images.

"Why did she hide her identity and approach me?"

Apart from being on tenterhooks, I was angry because George‘s mother had chosen to meet me in this strange way instead of an official appointment.It was really disrespectful.

I could accept George‘s mother‘s objection to our relationship.I could even accept it if she confronted me.It would be reasonable.

But she seemed to have carefully planned a strategy that I could not understand.

First she had the driver of her car rear–end my car on purpose.

Then she designed an encounter with me in Spacetime Finance.

Then she went to the law firm to introduce a project to me.It was all so tactical.I couldn‘t figure out why she had proceeded in this way, so I was even more nervous.

"Helen, don’t be afraid.I won‘t let her hurt you.I told her in no uncertain terms that she is S not to bother you again." George cradled me in his arms and promised sincerely.

His partiality towards me made me feel secure.

This was the first time that George and I had talked about his family.

We had an unspoken understanding to avoid the topic of our family backgrounds.I could understand his situation just like he did for me.I looked at him and asked in a soft voice, "How did she get to know that we were together?"

"It was an unintentional leak from Velma."

"Then what are you going to do about it?"

In fact, I had predicted that this day of revelation would come.

There was a huge gap between the economic and social statuses of our families.

Even if George loved me, he had to take into consideration his family honor and the feelings of his elders.I had even guessed that George would choose his family over me.I had always felt insecure and unconfident when it came to love.I closed my eyes and visualized George divorcing me according to the instructions of his family.

My heart began to break up into little pieces and float around.I could hardly breathe from the inner pain I was experiencing.

But still, I displayed a calm demeanor and waited for him to announce his final decision.I lowered my head slowly and couldn‘t bear to look into his eyes.I had even contemplated running out of the room.

When I was lost in various fancies and conjectures, George suddenly held me tightly in his arms.I could feel his heartbeat.

A long, deep sigh came to my ears.

"Helen, I‘ve told you that I won‘t change my mind.You‘re my wife and I will never leave you for anyone or anything.You have to have faith and trust that our love can withstand anything.Trust me.We will be together for the rest of our lives.No one can ever separate us.Don‘t you want to grow old with me?"
