Bye, My Irresistible Love

Helen's POV:

"This is the only way to solve the problem.It's a generous compromise already.I came to negotiate with you by giving you what you want, all the resources and connections from George, except marrying him." George's mother made her point clear.

She would tolerate my relationship with her son if I agreed to be only his mistress.

As long as I had no plans of marring into the Affleck family, she would leave us alone.

But someday in the future, George would have to marry someone, a woman of his caliber and social standing.

"Why don't you go talk to George about this and ask if he's okay with this setup or not?" I countered out of sympathy for George.

His parents valued family interests more than anything else.

For the glory of their name, they would go to great lengths to protect it, even if it meant denying their son's happiness.

They didn’t care about what George wanted.

He had been living with such a family since his childhood.It was quite a surprise that he turned out to be a better person than them.I didn't want to be in her presence anymore, so I turned my back on her and left to spare myself from further stress.

When I got home in the evening, I didn't discuss with George the meeting I had earlier with his mother.

If he got even the slightest whiff, he would only be caught up in a dilemma between his parents and me, and I didn't want anything like that for him.His mother's words kept me from sleeping, though.

Finally, I couldn't help but nudge George and ask, "Is Josie beautiful?"

"Who?" George muttered in his sleep.

"The girl you dated over the New Year's holiday. Is she beautiful?" I pressed lightly, awaiting his answer.

"I was deceived into meeting her.We met as kids, yet I barely remembered her when I grew up.Mrs.Affleck, if you have the energy for this, we better use it to do something else."
