Female NovelChapter 230 George Calms Her Down "Who is it!" Milly shouted angrily, her voice filled with enough fury to make it seem like she might charge out and attack someone.
Were these people crazy? Why weren't they sleeping in the middle of the night? A low, magnetic male voice cfrom outside. If she listened closely, she could detect a hint of amusement in it. "It's me." George! Milly froze, her movements becoming stiff.
Why was he here? He must have seen her earlier. Was he coming over to mock her or ridicule her? Hmph, this jerk had ulterior motives.
Milly turned over, pretending not to hear and planning to continue acting asleep.
But the more she thought about it, the more it didn't make sense. George had already seen her notice them earlier. If she didn't open the door now, it would only make her look guilty.
No, she couldn't let him have the upper hand. She couldn't let him think she had something to hide. She stood up, put on her shoes, and yanked the door open in one swift motion, not a hint of hesitation. "Do you need something?" Milly tried to keep her voice as calm as usual, her eyes steady and untroubled. George, standing at the door, looked cheerful, his brows raised in a smile. He was clearly in a good mood, without any attempt to hide it.
Milly bit her lip, cursing inwardly, Show-off! George, acting as if he didn't notice her hostile glare, asked with a faintly amused look in his eyes, “Did you see it just now?" He didn't need to elaborate, Milly knew exactly what he was talking about.
She rolled her eyes, feeling even more annoyed, her face showing clear signs of impatience.
Of course, he was here to warn her "Don't worry, my lips are sealed. I won't tell anyone about you two." Shameless, flirting in a temple, disrespecting Buddhist principles! Tomorrow, she would ask the master to add a new rule: no romantic relationships in the temple, violators will be expelled.
George gave a playful smile, his eyes glinting mischievously, "Oh? What won't you tell anyone?" Milly was furious.
1/3 Chapter 230 George Calms Her Down Fine, if he wanted her to spell it out, she would. She'd tell him exactly what he wanted to hear, word for word. Milly took a deep breath and met his gaze. "First, you two were being all lovey-dovey in a public place, and I just happened to see it. If you don't want to be seen, I suggest you find a different spot next time, even a corner would do.
"Second, I'm not a gossip. I can pretend I didn't see anything. I won't reveal your relationship, you can be sure of that.
"Now, Mr. Tate, is that clear enough for you?" George, who appeared to be about 6'3", towered over Milly, who was 5'6". From a distance, it looked as though she was enveloped in his shadow, almost in his embrace.
But Milly was oblivious to this.
George didn't respond immediately, he just looked at Milly, quietly waiting for her to finish. His eyes, previously calm, now sparkled with a subtle joy, brighter than the stars behind him.
"Milly, are you angry?" Milly froze.
Angry... Was she angry? "You're crazy!" Milly felt a moment of inexplicable panic. Realizing this, she moved to shut the door.
But with a quick "thud," George stopped the door with his hand, preventing her from closing it. His eyes sparkled even more, carrying a hint of seductive allure in the darkness.
His eyes were so captivating that Milly found herself momentarily entranced, forgetting what she was doing. "Milly, please tell me, were you just angry?" "No! Milly replied irritably.
George couldn't help but chuckle softly, his deep voice clear and mesmerizing in the quiet night.
Milly's ears reddened slightly at his laugh, and she glared at him, both embarrassed and angry. "What are you laughing at!" Seeing that her little hedgehog spikes were about to cout again, George quickly soothed her, "Alright, you're not angry. I must have misunderstood." It seemed he was new to comforting someone, his tone a bit stiff, but Milly inexplicably felt her irritation ease a bit.
Her face remained cold, though. “Anything else?"
George's eyes were dark, but his smile didn't waver. "William decided to go hiking in the middle of the night, and Grandpa caught him and gave him a good thrashing. He was howling like a banshee. I went to check if he survived, not to meet Stephanie. 2/3 Chapter 230 George Calims Her Down "The reason I talked to her was that she stoppedhalfway, saying she had something important to discuss. It was about you, so I wanted to hear what she had to say." Milly couldn't help but press her lips together.
Was he explaining himself to her? Still, she was curious about what Stephanie had to say about her. "What did she say about me?" George smiled and said, "She said a lot, but in summary, she praised you for being excellent. She feels. insecure and worries that you might not like her repetitive chatter" Milly raised an eyebrow.
Stephanie praising her? Worried that she wouldn't like her? That sounded far-fetched. Stephanie's eyes always held a venomous glint when she looked at her. If looks could kill, Milly would have been torn apart by now.
But, it wasn't unusual for a bitch to play the pity card.
"And what else? What did she really want to say?" Milly didn't believe Stephanie would go out of her way in the middle of the night just to sing her praises to George.
"She also said you're so outstanding that you caught Bonnie's eye. She wants to be like you, and sheo m mentioned that acting is her dream. If she could make a nfor herself in the entertainment industry, she could repay the Burnetts for raising her," George explained. At this, Milly couldn't hold back her laughter, full of contempt.
"She actually said that? Looks like she's pinning all her hopes on you." Repay the Burnetts for raising her? What a load of nonsense. If she truly wanted to repay them, how could she have run off with the money in a previous life, leaving the Burnetts to fend for themselves?
Stephanie probably knew that her position in the Burnett family was now precarious. Before today she might have hoped Philip would help her against Milly. But now, with Milly apprenticing under Master Nirvana, even Philip would have to think twice before going against her. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
