Chapter 1097 Extramarital Affair
At that time, he was drinking alone at the bar.
He noticed that a female employee selling drinks at the bar was being harassed.
He didn't want to meddle, but seeing the female employee struggling and no one helping her, he decided to step in.
He walked up and pulled the female employee into his arms, coldly warning those harassing her, "My girlfriend sells drinks, not herself. If you touch her again, don't blame me for what happens."
The female employee looked at him gratefully and didn't expose their fake relationship.
Just like that, George stopped them and took the female employee away.
George was very drunk at the time. He let her go and returned to the bar to continue drinking. Eventually, he got so drunk that he passed out.
The female employee helped George up and decided to take him back, feeling grateful for his help.
But George was too drunk, and the female employee had no choice but to take him to a nearby hotel.
In their confusion, they ended up having sex.
When George woke up, he found a woman sleeping next to him and felt regretful.
But since it had already happened, he left a check and a note.
The note had his number on it.
He didn't intend to shirk responsibility.
Later, she did contact him and told him not to feel burdened.
They met again.
He learned her name was Cheryl Perez.
George found Cheryl to have a great personality, and they got along well.
He liked her quite a bit, and since he was in an unhappy marriage and had a fight with his first love, he dated Cheryl for a while and even bought her a house.
However, the relationship only lasted a month before he reconciled with his first love.
So he broke up with Cheryl and went back to his first love.
He kept this matter to himself and told no one.
Cheryl didn't tell anyone either.
And so, they never saw each other again.
But he remembered that a few months later, Cheryl called him, wanting to meet and talk.
At that time, George had reconciled with his first love and felt guilty. He didn't want anyone to know he had another woman outside of his marriage, so he told Cheryl he wouldn't meet her.
He said he could give her money if she needed it, but their relationship had to end completely.
He still remembered Cheryl being silent for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry to bother you. I won't contact you again."
After that, they never contacted each other again.
George always thought no one would know about their relationship, and it was something he would take to his grave.
But now, seeing Eason at nineteen years old, and recalling Cheryl's hesitant demeanor the last time they spoke, he wondered if she had been pregnant and wanted to tell him, but he didn't give her the chance.
Although he only spent a month with Cheryl, he could tell that she was stubborn and didn't care about his money but genuinely liked him.
He felt a bit guilty, thinking he had let her down, but he couldn't give her happiness, so he chose to leave her heartlessly.
He left her a $500,000 check, hoping she would live well.
That was all he could do.
He never expected that she would pass away.
