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.

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.

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

That fleeting feeling of reluctance almost slipped away from her

grasp.

Wide–eyed in shock, she stared, questioning herself, Was I reluctant to leave George’s embrace? A stranger’s embrace?
