This time, it was George who was taken aback. He didn’t quite believe what he had just heard, so he asked again. “What did you say just now?”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Milly felt a bit foolish, not realising she could be so absent–minded at times.

Now snapping back to reality, she felt her faceflush. “Never mind, if you didn’t catch it clearly. I’ll just go…

Before she could finish her sentence, she was pulled into a warm embrace scented with a faint soap fragrance.

George held the petite figure tightly, resting his head on her neck, closing his eyes, soaking in the warmth and peace of the moment.

In fact, the whole “recharging” thing was just nonsense he made up. How could a hug possibly smooth. away days and nights of sleepless fatigue? But when he finally held the person he had been thinking about in his arms, it was as if the whole world had hit the pause button at that moment.

Meanwhile, Milly, being held in his arms, didn’t feel so relaxed. Her body stiffened as he held her, feeling like her whole body wasn’t her own anymore, afraid to move a muscle.

It wasn’t an excuse. Her neck really was starting to hurt.

Hearing her discomfort, George reluctantly let go. “Sorry, I should’ve asked first. I was just too tired.”

“Oh, it’s okay.” Milly, in a good mood, stretched her neck a bit. After all, she was the one who brought it up. so there was no reason to blame him.

Just moments ago, whether it was her imagination or not, when George released her, she unexpectedly felt a hint of… reluctance.
