The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1029 It's All My Fault

"Stop lying to me!" Caspar thundered, turning his head towards Sula. "Do you think I didn't know what happened here? The rumors about his affairs with Holley Ye have spread like wild fire in the BM Corporation headquarter. So your mother and I came here to bring you back home.

But now we found out that he got you pregnant and you didn't even tell us. We feel ashamed of you." "Dad," Sula called out acidly, raising her brows.

"Come on, honey." Lizzy threw Caspar an angry stare. "Sula is already grown up and she can now make her own decisions. We are here to solve the problem, aren't we?" She looked around and saw a few people already looking at them wondering what the commotion was about. "People are watching us," she murmured. "Please don't embarrass her."

As Caspar didn't snap back, she went on, "We can talk about this when we meet Donna. What do you say?"

"Fine. We will talk about this later," he agreed. With a snort, he proceeded, "I'd like to hear her explanation when I see her."

"Dad," Sula whispered with a helpless look. "Shut up!" Caspar growled at his daughter.

"I will deal with you after I am done talking with Donna." Upon hearing this, George couldn't remain silent any longer. With luggage in his hand, he approached Caspar and said, "Uncle, it's all my fault. Sula and my mother did nothing wrong. I am the one to blame."

"Hold on," Caspar answered George.

With a sneer, he said menacingly, "I will handle you later." Without further ado, Caspar pulled his daughter's hand and tugged her hurriedly out of the airport. His wife and George followed them.

George's car was just parked outside. But instead of getting in his car, Caspar called for a taxi.

George, feeling guilty, was unable to do anything but to climb into his car and follow their cab.

When Caspar's family arrived at the restaurant, Donna stood outside waiting for them.

After she had finished talking with Holley, she wasted no time driving towards the restaurant to welcome Sula's parents.

As she spotted George's car, she approached it and stopped just beside his car. She didn't even notice the cab that parked before it. She gushed, "Hello, Caspar, Lizzy, here you are." The sight of Caspar's family getting out of a taxi left her stunned. When she recovered from the confusion, Caspar and Lizzy already halted in front of her. With a baffled look, she asked, "What's going on? I thought George came to pick you up.

But why did you take a taxi?" "We didn't want to bother him," Caspar replied brusquely.

Taking note of the sullen look on his face, Donna assumed that he had heard of the rumors circulating about her son and Holley. She flashed an embarrassed smile and invited her guests, "Let's get inside. You must feel hungry. I ordered your favorite food. We can further discuss things inside."

She pulled Caspar into a private booth, followed by George, Sula and Lizzy. She could tell that Caspar was not very pleased with everything. She poured him a cup of tea, and as she handed it to him, she began to explain, "I invited you here to discuss two things. First, Sula is pregnant. And second, I believe I owe you an apology. I didn't educate my son too well, so he made some mistakes. I hope you can forgive him. After all, he is still young."

"We have known each other for years, and I know what kind of person you are," he returned gruffly. He refused the tea. He then walked past her and threw himself on the couch.

"We have known each other for years. I am sure you know that I treat Sula as my own daughter," Donna changed the subject as she took a seat opposite Sula's father. She took a look at the young lady and looked back at Caspar. With a genuine smile, she continued, "I know Sula is a fine woman. That's why I wanted my son to marry her."

He finally opened his mouth. Eyeing Donna, he responded, "I know you are fond of Sula."

He paused for a moment and went on, "Knowing that you adore her, I expected that you would protect her. But look at her now. She became an unmarried pregnant girl.

How could you allow this to happen even though you knew that George was dating that woman?" "Dad, it was my own choice. Please don't blame auntie," Sula chimed in.

"Shut up!" Caspar cast his daughter a disgruntled glance and berated, "Do you know what you are talking about? You're a girl, so have some dignity and stop talking nonsense."

Sula tried to say something but her mother interrupted her. "Keep quiet. Can't you see that your father is mad? Don't infuriate him," she suggested.

"Mom, but I..." Sula intended to sprint toward her father and reason with him. But her mother grabbed her hand and shook her head to stop Sula. As a matter of fact, Lizzy was an amiable person. She never meddled with her daughter's matters and allowed her to do whatever she wanted.

But when she had heard about what happened to Sula, she couldn't help but feel angry as well.

Although she had been friends with Donna for many years, she thought it was necessary to let her know her opinion on this matter. She only had one daughter, and she wouldn't allow anyone to bully her. Resting his eyes on Donna, he grilled, "I know you are good to Sula. But can you swear that you didn't favor your son on this matter?

You are a mother too. You know that we hate to see Sula get hurt. But what did you do?" "I understand how you feel," Donna responded.

'It was my son's fault. As his mother, I have to take responsibility for him,' she thought with a bitter smile. "George did a lot of wrong things to Sula. But now he already realized his mistakes, and he wanted to make things right. Since Sula is pregnant, I want to discuss their wedding with you.

I think we should organize their wedding ceremony as soon as possible. Would you agree?" Donna asked for Caspar's opinion. As he didn't respond, she continued, "After they get married, I can assure you that George will treat her very well. You have my word on that. I will keep an eye on him. I am sure that he will not dare cheat on Sula." George stood aside, watching his mother and Caspar's interaction. Sula's father used to be nice to him.

'I was a jerk to Sula. If I were him, I wouldn't let it go so easily. I fully understand his anger towards me,' he thought.

He stared at Donna, lost into thought. 'I have never seen my mother bow to anyone.'

In his eyes, Donna was an arrogant, decisive person. Besides, she was a peremptory boss.

He never saw his mother treat others in such a humble manner.

'She does this for me,' he thought. He couldn't bear to stand it any longer. 'I made a mistake and I should solve it on my own.'

Taking a deep breath, he made his way to Caspar. He took the tea from his mother and stood in front of Sula's father deferentially. He said harshly, "Uncle Caspar, it's all my fault."
