The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1030 Caspar's Fury

With a faint smile, George firmly expressed, "It's my bad. I can understand that you are mad at me because I did a lot of stupid things that hurt Sula. Realizing how foolish I acted before, I promise you that I will make it up to her. I will be nice and will treat her right. And please don't blame her and my mother."

The annoyance that was clearly emanating from the presence of Sula's father did not deter George in acknowledging his own shortcomings. "I learned a lot from my mistakes. To make amends, I chose to be with Sula. I hope you can give me a chance. And I promise I will assume full responsibility for taking good care of her and the child."

When he swore to Caspar, he was not sure if he could keep his promise. But since he already made a choice, he proceeded, "I will show you with my actions that I will be a good husband and a father." "Who told you I came here to discuss your and Sula's wedding?" Caspar snorted. "To be honest with you, my wife and I came here to take Sula back home. You want to marry her? That's not gonna happen." He rose from his seat and dictated, "I am telling you that I will never marry my daughter off to you. You don't deserve her. You'd better give up this stupid idea."

He turned his head towards his wife and informed, "We are taking our daughter to the hospital. After she gets an abortion, we will return to Korea."

"Caspar, I don't think..." Lizzy trailed off as she was engrossed in her thoughts. Although she was annoyed at George, she had no heart to lose her grandchild. Besides, an abortion would take a toll on Sula's health, she thought.

"I think we should give it a second thought," Lizzy voiced out her opinion as she narrowed her eyes.

"What are you talking about?" Caspar huffed. "I don't think there is a need. No matter what they say, I will not allow my daughter to marry a scum. That's final."

Caspar strode towards Sula and grabbed her wrist. He said firmly, "Let's go. We will check in at a hotel tonight. I will take you to the hospital tomorrow morning."

"No, I'm not coming with you," Sula declined. She had considered this for a long time. Her initial plan was to get an abortion. But when George had moved in with them, and he had attended to her very well, she no longer wanted to carry out the plan. She believed that he resolved to marry her and look after her for the rest of his life.

Besides, she could feel her baby growing up in her womb day by day. She couldn't bear the thought of losing it.

She shook off Caspar's hand and yelled at him, "I will not get an abortion. You'd better forget that stupid idea.

It's my child. And you can't decide for me." She willfully stood her ground, glowering at Caspar as if he was her enemy.

Caspar squinted at her as he uttered, "What an ungrateful child! We are doing this for your own good. Do you think we will hurt you?"

"Dad, Mom, I know you are trying to protect me," Sula explained, looking at her parents. "But I am a grown-up now, and I am already capable. I want to keep the baby and stay with George."

"You..." Caspar's face turned red with fury. He raised his hand in an attempt to slap his daughter. George, on the other hand, acted on his instinct. He immediately stepped forward and stood between him and Sula.

"Uncle, you can vent your anger on me. I will take it without complaints. Sula is pregnant. You can't..." George began.

"I am teaching my daughter. You have a problem with that?" Caspar interrupted him. "Don't forget that you have nothing to do with Sula now. You are just an outsider. I don't think you can get your nose in my family's affair."

Meeting Caspar's sharp eyes, George said humbly, "Uncle, I know you are upset with me. But she is carrying my child. You can't make a decision for us. Even though you hate me, you cannot deprive our baby of its right to come to the world. Life is precious."

"So what?" Caspar responded, challenging him. "The child is a mistake. I am doing this for its sake."

"Dad..." Sula cried out, tears rolling down her face. "Nevertheless, I will not give up on my child," she insisted as she glared at her father.

"I've made up my mind. No matter what you and mother think of me, I am going to have the baby. I hope you can understand me and respect my decision," Sula announced emphatically, her cheeks bathed in tears.

"How dare you!" Caspar snarled. Sula used to be an obedient daughter. Since she was a little girl, Caspar had arranged everything for her and not once did she disobey him.

Apart from her excessive obsession with George, she had never disappointed her father.

He was enraged by Sula's decision to keep the baby. Staring at his daughter, he threatened, "If you dare to give birth to that child, I will disown you."

Caspar couldn't understand her. All his friends already learned that his daughter had come to Y City to pursue George.

If they learned about Sula's pregnancy, they would laugh at him, he thought.

Most importantly, he knew that these two were not in love and would not be happy after they got married. If George couldn't let that woman go, he thought Sula would get hurt one day.

He cared about his reputation. But he was more afraid that his daughter might have an unhappy marriage.

"You are going too far, Caspar," Lizzy broke in with knitted brows. "She is your daughter..."

"I don't need a rebellious daughter," Caspar snapped indignantly.

A wry smile flashed across her face as Donna witnessed all of this. To prevent the situation from getting worse, she stood out and made her way towards George. She stopped between her son and Caspar and mediated, "Come on. Don't argue with each other. We are here to work it out, aren't we?"

Turning to George, she said, "Don't be mad at your uncle Caspar. He does this for his daughter. If I were in his shoes, I would not agree to marry my daughter off to you."

Abashed, George dropped his head. 'I do have many flaws, ' he reflected.
