Chapter 988 Make A Proposal

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, yo

't let it go if you do anything to hurt me. So don't push your luck! And don't try to lie to me—women's intuition never lies. If I find anything wrong, I won't forgive you!"

"Don't worry! That day will never come!" Since Holley had warned him, he dared not to mention his affair with Sula now. It was courting death!

He smiled and continued, "But enough of that. Let's grab a menu."

"Fine." Holley took a seat. She looked at the glittering ring and asked worriedly, "George... Your mom knows you proposed to me?"

"No. This is between us. Why let her know?" George replied, unhappy. "Holley, we've been together for a long time, and I think it's time for us to move forward and get married. I proposed to you, because I want to settle down with you."

George stared at Holley, full of love. "Don't worry about Mom. I'll schedule our wedding ceremony as soon as possible. It doesn't matter whether she's happy about it or not, we'll get hitched."

He took her hand lovingly and continued, "Holley, I know you have been waiting for me for way too long. I can't let you wait any longer. I promise, I'll treat you like a princess."

"George..." Holley could not even finish her sentence. She was so deeply touched. Indeed, she couldn't even form words at this moment.
