Chapter 36 Public Apology

Upon hearing these words, the already tense atmosphere in the classroom seemed to cool down slightly.

The first person to react was Milly. Her eyes widened in disbelief at his audacity to say such a thing in front of everyone.

George smoothly caught the flying book. Instead of getting angry, he smiled indulgently and spoke in a half–coaxing, half–teasing tone, “Okay, I’ll listen to you. If you don’t want me to say anything, I won’t.”

It was true what they said. A good woman feared a persistent man.

Leon smiled, and when he looked at Milly, the gloom in his eyes had long disappeared. “Well, I believe in Milly.”
