Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 364

If the day came when I became insane, Dennis would look after me for the rest of my life. I didn’t doubt that.

But devoting his love and care to a lunatic?

Yara was right; I would be ruining him.

He deserved better.

I saw gloom and pain in his eyes; but he smiled bitterly, “Honey, it is me, not you, who is tangled and cannot find a way out. You are right that I can shake off my debt to Olivia and my responsibilities for the George family, but I cannot live without you.”

Gritting my teeth, with pain in my heart, I failed to utter a single word.

There were many roads leading to a happy romantic relationship; he had chosen the most rugged one.

I slept well that night, during which he kissed me and said in a soft voice, “Honey, we three can go to HL Area and never come back.”

Was I having a dream?

The days spent in that very place were too happy that they were themselves like a dream.

…

The next day.

It was getting colder.

Dennis didn’t go to the company but stayed with me in the room.

I felt warm when I woke up in this giant room.

He was hugging me and I could feel his heartbeat.

If only time could freeze at this very moment!

But I knew I didn’t deserve this.

“Dennis!”, I said, still with my back towards him, “Is it going to snow?”

I remembered that it snowed quite early four years ago in this city. The weather became suddenly cold now, seeming to snow.

He held me more tightly, “Do you like snow?”

I replied in a soft voice, “Yeah. The winter in HL is very late and it doesn’t snow much. Even if it does, it is so small that the snowflakes melt immediately they touch the ground. I never saw a white world.”

He touched my neck with his chin, “I can watch the snow with you. Or we can go to the Northern Border. It must have more beautiful snow.”

I smiled and closed my eyes, savoring this moment, “Actually I once had a dream that I did go there. But it was in summer instead of winter then.”

He asked in a low voice, “Was I in your dream?”

I shook my head, “I don’t remember; it was long ago.”

He tickled my armpit at this.

I couldn’t help laughing and turned to him, “It’s true. It was really a long time ago.”

He stopped and smiled sweetly yet naughtily, “You will be punished for not having me in your dream.”

I smiled and kissed his lips tenderly.

He kissed back with his cold lips, and looked at me in the eye, “Honey, it is easy for you to win my heart.”

I was so impressed by his words.

And I realized that the so-called happiness was indeed multiplied by these trivial moments. Spectacular things were always ephemeral.

We were like this until the afternoon when Toby called with the message of the precipitous plunge of the market value of the George’s stocks.

At the dining table, Dennis was not showing a vestige of panic, and instead, he talked with me sweetly, “You are going to take the exam soon. How about me writing a letter of recommendation to relieve your anxiety if any?”

Right. I almost forgot that he was an outstanding alumnus of the P University and had made huge donations of funds to this institution.

I shook my head and summoned a smile, giving in to my curiosity, “The slump of the stock value… you…”

“Don’t worry.” He smiled, “It is under my control.”

Yeah, he had been the preeminent leader of the George Group for years and this couldn’t panic him.

Toby came in when Dennis was feeding porridge to me, which embarrassed this newcomer.

The feeder didn’t care at all and wiped my mouth with a tissue.

Then he turned to Toby, “It was Hank. He wanted to make me devote my whole attention to this crisis. But the stock market will be okay. Don’t worry and just do what I told you to do.”

Toby nodded and had a look at me before he left.

I crouched on the sofa, hugging a throw pillow, “Is Toby qualified to do that?”

He nodded and didn’t say anything.

He walked towards me and sat beside me on the sofa, which was crowded for two.

Mario didn’t come here after that; neither did Yara.

Alex came a week later.

Sitting on the sofa in a relaxing manner, he asked me, “Why did you change to the law?”

“Why shouldn’t I? I learned legal science as an undergraduate.” I smiled.

He shrugged his shoulders, and changed the subject, “What will you do after the exam? Maybe traveling somewhere?’

I shook my head, “I haven’t thought of that.”

He replied, “How about the Northern Border? I’ve always wanted to go there.”

“Did you mean it?” I knew that he was not a big fan of outdoor stuff, let alone traveling.

Playing with his phone, he thought for a moment and replied, “People think differently when they are older. Oh, I’ve moved my workroom to this city. You can have a look if you have time. It’s quite nice.”

Psychotherapy workroom?

It suddenly dawned on me why he came to me, “Why did you move it here?”

He had been in the J City for four years and had accumulated his connections. Now he came to City P; he couldn’t avoid a less desirable life.

He didn’t care, “Luis is going to take over his family business. The headquarter is in this city and I have to move here too.”

Luis? The business had been in charge of Luna, and now Luis was going to take it over?
