Semua Bab Mr. Holt, You Are My Ineffable Love: Bab 41 - Bab 50

George twitched the corner of his lips. “I didn’t tell him that you’re married. You’ll have to explain it to him by yourself.”“Why do I need to explain anything to him?”Holly turned coldly and left.He was once so unattainable and admired by so many; now he was just a layman like everyone else. She now understood that the past had passed, and no one can return to the past. Even the craziest, truest love would become a thing of the past.Just like Jonathan and her, George and Jean were couples who became strangers.George was pressing his stomach, trembling in pain. He reached for the painkiller with a shaking hand, took some painkillers, chewed them, and did not drink any water with it.The bitterness spread through his mouth, and the sharp pain was slowly alleviated. He stood up, took the bed sheet that Holly slept on, threw it on the floor, laid down in a curled up position, and slept.Holly got downstairs and looked for her cell phone that was in her pocket.Her car wa

The words were like a knife to her heart and she almost vomited blood—this man was so hard to please.“If you wish to please me, please do some research on what I like to eat.”He took the fruit, said that, and left.Holly was furious. She threw everything down the kitchen sink and threw the mangoes into the trash can. Failed the mission to please the ‘iceberg’! Living with Quincy shortened one’s life. Luckily it was only for two years, so she would tolerate it!It was late and she was tired, so she went back to her room.It was the weekend the next day and she did not have to go to work, so she slept in.When she got downstairs, she was surprised to see Quincy still home. He would usually have left the house early in the morning. Quincy was reading his documents with a serious face. When he saw her come down the stairs, he threw her a book.Holly picked it up with confusion and flicked through a few pages. The corner of her mouth twitched—it was a book about Qunicy’s like

Just at that moment, Holly looked in his direction and smiled.Quincy reacted as though he got burnt, quickly looking away and swiftly headed back to the couch.Holly cooked a few simple dishes. In order to cater to Quincy’s palate, she put less seasoning and even steamed a fish.When everything was served on the table, she took off the apron and put it aside.“Darling, let’s eat.”She surprised herself when she said that—it was as though they were an actual married couple.Quincy put down the documents—as though lowering his standard—and sat down. When he saw the delicate dishes, he smiled.“This is fresh shrimp with tofu soup, try it.”Holly took his bowl and poured some for him.Quincy took a sip and did not nitpicked.There was something particularly warming about the tofu soup that Holly made—it made him feel warm and fuzzy from the heart.“It’s alright,” he said lightly and smiled.When he saw Holly cook for him, he was a little touched. Holly was always quiet and cal

Jennifer took her phone and showed him the video. “Quincy, take a look at your shameless bride!”Quincy’s expression did not change. He switched off the phone and said, “Grandma, who took the video?”Jennifer frowned. She felt particularly helpless when he was not angered by it, and asked, “Why are you still protecting this woman?”How much did he love her that he chose to forgive her when she had done something like that.Holly wanted to explain but Quincy stood in front of her as if to say it would be more persuasive if it came from him.Watching his stern side profile, her gaze became gentler; she felt that she finally had someone that she could lean on.She was the one who pulled herself out from the darker days back then. She had no one to lean on so she became the person she leaned on.However, things are different now as Quincy showed that she could rely on him.“Quincy, you don’t need to know who took the video! All you need to know is this woman betrayed you. Divorce h

Although Serene was thinking that, her face was calmer than ever. “Old Madam, you must’ve been mistaken…She tried to act pitiful and naive, but it was all an act which had come to light in the video.Jennifer closed her eyes slowly, and said earnestly, “That’s all I wanted to say. Serene just think about it.”Serene did not have the chance to explain herself asJennifer had already hung up the phone.She then realized something—the fact that Old Madam was decisive was because she was absolutely sure that it was her.Serene started to panic. She threw the cell phone aside and went to take a cold shower to intentionally make herself fall sick.One hour later, she started burning up. She called Old Madam, wishing that she would come visit her.Old Madam did end up visiting her. Serene’s mother had just passed away and her step father did not care about her. She only had herself to rely on.Jennifer still loved Serene. After all, she had been taking care of her for so long.Serene

Smack!It was so loud that it shocked the servants in the villa.They quickly contacted Quincy, hoping that he would come and reconcile this. Holly covered her cheeks—the slap was incredibly painful. She finally understood that no matter what she did, it would be wrong in Old Madam’s eyes. The fact that she came from a poor family would make Old Madam hate her for life.Thus, there was no point of being nice to her when it was only met with disrespect. She took this slap as a form of last respect toward her.“Old Madam, now that you’ve done what you came to do, please move aside. I want to go to the hospital to visit my grandmother.”Jennifer’s hand was shaking and she was absolutely speechless. The hand that she used to slap Holly was trembling with pain.Holly walked past her and left without turning her head.She did not drive. Although she looked very calm, Holly was actually feeling very emotional.She knew that it was dangerous to drive when one was emotional—she cher

Quincy did not reply and just continued rolling the eggs on her cheek.Holly took the egg and said, “Let me.”He let it go and continued peeling the eggshells of the other egg. His lashes cast a long shadow on his flawless face.“How’s your grandmother?”“She’s alright. Doctors gave the green light for surgery tomorrow.”A nurse ran to them as they were speaking. “Miss Shaw, your grandmother is awake!”Holly stood up swiftly and walked to the ward.Her grandmother was indeed awake! She was looking at the ceiling with her dull-looking eyes.“Grandmother!” Holly exclaimed excitedly. She held her hands when she got to her bedside.Her grandmother blinked her eyes and opened her mouth to speak but found it difficult to do so since she was wearing an oxygen mask.“Grandmother, rest a little more.”Holly took her hand and rubbed it against her cheek. Feeling a jolt of pain as she placed her grandmother’s hand on her face, she suddenly remembered that Old Madam had slapped her. G

“All good things happen to me? Serene, it is quite terrible to be jealous of others and to accuse people, when you have nothing to back it up. You were willing to lay down your pride and go to your stepfather to survive. You’re someone who has sold your soul a long time ago. What makes you think you and I are the same?”Serene held her cell phone tightly. ‘What did Holly mean? Could it be that she thought she was noble?’Haha!“Holly, who do you think you are? We’re both from the gutter. You have no right to lecture me!”Serene was enraged. She hated Holly’s ability to anger people with just a few soft-spoken sentences.She was shrieking—it was akin to nails on a blackboard and was unbearable.“Serene, you dare not admit it, but you’re extremely money-minded. To you, money can buy anything, including your dignity. You said you love Quincy but the only thing you love about him is his identity. You know that as long as you’re able to get close to him, you’ll live a luxurious life.

Serene lifted her head and poured the whole bottle of sleeping pills in her mouth. She chewed on them with teary, red eyes.It was as though the pills were Holly, and she was eating her!Holly did not expect Serene to hang up so quickly. She looked at her phone with a mocking smile. Could no longer stand it? She did not think that it was wrong for bringing her into a stalemate.Serene was quite pitiful, but there was a saying, ‘The chickens have come home to roost!’“Thank you, Darling.”Although Quincy only said three words just now, the effects of those three words were akin to a bomb.Serene was so conceited that Holly figured she must be enraged by it.Quincy did not say a word as his curiosity about her grew. He was curious how she could say such sharp words, and curious as to why she was always so gentle when she was with him.“You…”He hesitated for a while, and continued to roll the egg on her cheek. “It seems you’ve never been pretentious in front of me.”She was f

Almost no one had ever cared for her grandmother except Holly.As she was lost in her thoughts, there was a sudden ‘thud’ followed by a small orange rolling along the door.At the door stood a little girl with French braids. Her big eyes were scanning the area, looking very cute.The orange belonged to her. She wanted to come in and pick it up but was afraid that Holly would not consent, so she hesitated at the door.Holly was in a good mood so she smiled at her and said, "Come in."The little girl hurriedly strolled into the room and picked up the oranges, just as the female character on TV said, "I don't want anything, I just want love!"The little girl squeezed the orange and looked at the TV blankly. "Big sister, what is love? Is it delicious?"Holly did not know whether to cry or laugh. How on earth would she explain such an abstract concept to a child? She bit her tongue and said, "It's delicious and very sweet."The girl nodded ignorantly, peeled the orange, and gave her
