Chapter 43 Delicate Rural Charm

After numerous failed attempts, Milly gave up in frustration.

Oh well. I’ll figure it out later, she thought to herself.

“I want to go home now,” Milly announced, her voice tinged with disappointment.

George made no move to stop her. He rose from his seat and offered, “I’ll have the driver take you home

Milly declined, saying, “It’s okay. I can take a taxi.

When she put on her backpack and was ready to leave, suddenly, the wind was blowing ferociously, thunder was roaring, and rain was pouring down.

It happened in a matter of seconds.

Milly gazed at the dark sky and pouring rain. She was completely taken aback. How could the weather change so fast? It was sunny just moments ago.

Observing the downpour outside, George suggested, “It’s raining heavily. Why don’t you stay overnight? I’ll inform your brother.”

Squinting sceptically at him, Milly replied. “That won’t be necessary. I won’t get wet in the car. Do you have an umbrella?”

“Yes, George replied, signaling to the servant nearby. “Get her an umbrella.”

Milly glanced at the storm outside. She pursed her lips, concluded that she just needed an umbrella, and
