Bye, My Irresistible Love

George's POV:

As my mother stormed off, I ran after her after giving Helen an apologetic look.I knew my mother loathed Helen with all her guts and looked down upon her.But fortunately, she had managed to restrain herself today.If she knew that Helen and I were already married, she would have gone through the roof.

Recently, she hired some private eyes to secretly investigate Helen's family background, but I stopped them from doing so.I knew it wouldn't solve the problem, but I would try my best to stall it.I didn't want Helen to get hurt.I decided to take this opportunity to talk to my mother.

When we arrived at the garage, Velma opportunistically drove away in her own car, leaving my mother and me alone.I was having a tough time trying to control my temper.I pleaded, "Mom, I know that you are prejudiced against Helen for reasons I feel are unjustified.But apart from that, I want you to know that Helen is a kind, loving, caring person.If only you knew her the way I do! But I'm not asking you to become bosom buddies with her.All I'm asking is that you please not hurt her, okay?"

In the past few years, I had always been counting on myself.I had a poor concept of family unity since my parents were always too busy to make time for me.

Before going abroad to study, I rarely saw them.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмI therefore did not have a close relationship with them.

The only person I cared about was my grandfather.

Besides, I was pretty self-centered.

After I met Helen, she taught me how to open my heart and how to love unselfishly.

As a member of the Affleck family, I didn't have much sense of belonging except for social engagements bearing the Affleck surname.

But now, I was willing to be more frank with my parents for Helen's sake.

However, my mother didn't think so.

"I've never done anything to hurt her.It's you who have regarded me as an imaginary enemy.No matter what good intentions I have, you just think I have an ulterior motive, because that's what you want to believe."Indeed, she hadn't done anything to hurt Helen before.

I softened my tone and sincerely apologized, "Then I'm really sorry.I apologize for doubting you.I just hope that you won't reject Helen or make her feel out of place.I'll tell you again.Helen is the only person I love.I won't give her up for anything in the world.Please do bear this in mind."

She grunted and said nothing.I observed her expression from the corner of my eye while driving.

"Mom, can I tell you something I've never told you before?"

"Suit yourself."

"When I was a child, you and Dad were always too busy running the company to pay any attention to me.I rarely saw either of you.Even when you were at home, you were always surrounded by groups of people.We hardly ever spent quality time together as a family.As time went by, I felt you drifting further and further away from me.I spent most of my time with the nanny.As time went by and you got even busier, I saw less and less of you.But at least I had friends at that time.That made up somewhat for your absence in my life.Later you took me to Philly.There too, your busy life meant that I rarely ever saw you.There were no familiar people around me and I began to feel isolated and forlorn.I had never felt so lonely in my life.That's when I met Helen.When I first met her, she was playing Castle in the Sky on the stage.A real beautiful song.It was love at first sight for me."
