Bye, My Irresistible Love

Helen’s POV:

George seemed to have noticed my discomfort.He took me in his loving arms and said earnestly, "We will live happily together for the rest of our lives.We will nurture and sustain our relationship against all odds.Nothing can tear us apart."

"Okay.I‘m willing to make that happen." I leaned my face against George‘s chest and nodded lightly.

Although my answer was easier to state than George‘s sincere confession and promise and it might seemed a bit unfair for him, I was actually so deeply moved at the level of my soul by his words.

At that moment, all previous doubts dissolved.I realized that I was his one and only choice.I had never felt so special before.I stretched out my hands and drew his waist closer to me.

After a long time, I eased into relaxation Then I raised my face from his chest and asked, seeking clarification.

"Why do you want me to quit this project? Is there anything wrong with it?"

Knowing George, he would never bring himself to ask me to quit a project without a good reason.

There had to be something amiss with this project for him to request me to quit it midway.

George held me in his arms, gently stroked my hair, and said, "I haven‘t discovered anything wrong with it yet.But I still advise you to quit this project.Knowing my mother, she must have some grand purpose in whatever she is doing.I suspect that she will use the project to hurt you.So quitting the project is highly recommended."

"But since there is no problem with this project, why should I quit? We have put in a lot of work into this project.Anya and other senior lawyers have all helped me check it out.With their wealth of experience, they have not found any loopholes, so it should be sound.Most importantly, this is a big project.If I complete it successfully, it will do wonders for my career.It would be a giant leap for me, so I don‘t want to quit unless I absolutely have to.Let me do it, please; or I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"Okay.If you feel so strongly about it, then go ahead."

George sighed helplessly, and then he held me tightly in his arms, acquiesced in my continuing the project.

"George!" I rubbed my cheek against his arms and couldn‘t help feeling happy.

"What, honey?"

"I‘m not afraid of anything when you are alongside me."

As long as George was with me, I was prepared to face any kind of challenges.
