Milly raised her head slowly and locked eyes with a pair of smiling eyes. The owner of those eyes had one hand casually tucked in his pocket, his movements relaxed yet dignified. The evening sunlight seemed to envelop him in a golden glow, making him stand out.

George stood in front of her and smiled warmly. “Miss Burnett, do I have the honor of inviting you to my house as a guest?”

Milly sidestepped him straightforwardly, her tone icy as she said, “No, you wouldn’t have the honor.”

Where was I with the poem?

The water was serene. I make a toast to the guest and recite a poem about the moon.

A girl with fluffy hair hung her head low and walked past him. She was so adorable that George was tempted to reach out and pet her.

George clenched his fist and suppressed the urge. The little hedgehog before him was now bristling with spines. Provoking her would lead to more than just a prick.

“Grandpa wanted to discuss the childhood betrothal with you. It was just a bet, not a serious commitment. If you truly didn’t want to attend, it’s okay to keep our relationship as it is for now.”

George’s voice carried a tinge of regret.

Milly halted in her tracks. She turned and looked at him in disbelief, asking, “Are you serious?”

George smiled, and the joy danced in his eyes. He said, “I always keep my word.”

Milly narrowed her eyes and scrutinized this man. His eyes held nothing but honesty.

While the Tates were prestigious and aligning with them would secure her future, it wasn’t something she wanted.

She preferred to earn what was rightfully hers through hard work. What she achieved on her own would truly belong to her and be untouchable by anyone.

If Andrew came to his senses and annulled the previous agreement, calling off her marriage with George, it might not be a bad idea to visit his house.

Milly agreed, “Very well.”
