Chapter 7 The Hedgehog

George received a signal from his grandfather, pursed his lips, and said, “Mr. Burnett is correct, this is indeed a bit presumptuous.” Jordan, seeing that he understood the situation, nodded, “Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Tate.” Upon hearing his words, Milly completely relaxed, and her tense shoulders loosened. She really didn’t want to get married as soon as she arrived! And she was going to marry this man, who was obviously not easy to deal with! Earlier in the garden, she had threatened him so much.
