Suzy politely replied, "Yes. Thank you for your kind hospitality today, Grandma."

"Oh, what a sweet child!" Gemma's gaze became kinder and kinder.

Juniper and Enoah sent her out together. They watched her get into George's car and waved goodbye.

George was driving today. He slowly drove away from the Laine family's house. They got onto the main road and drove all the way to the city center.

Suzy looked at the scenery outside the car window. Then, she turned around and said, "You should get to work if you have something else to do. I can grab a cab on my own."

George said with a smile, "I truly do have to head back to the office."

Suzy raised her eyebrows slightly. "Oh, okay!"

George glanced at her profile through the rearview mirror, and the corners of his lips smiled lightly.

The car entered Royal Court and stopped in the underground parking bay. After Suzy got out of the car, she watched as the man stepped out as well. She looked at him in astonishment.

Was he not headed to the office?

George walked over, took her hand, and led her toward the elevator. He explained with a smile, "I suddenly remember that I've already gotten Jessie to handle the matter in the morning."

Suzy, "..."

He must have done this on purpose.

Once they got upstairs, they opened the door and entered. George immediately pressed Suzy on the cabinet at the entrance and kissed her.

The fire ignited by her in the study spread like a prairie again. He picked her up and kissed her warmly as he slowly walked to the bedroom...

This was the first time that the two were making out in the daytime. The curtains were not closed, and the sun was shining straight in

Suzy was lying on the bed, dazed by the sunlight, she could not help but close her eyes. In the dark, she seemed to see the bubbles blown by the little girl next door during her childhood. The cluster of bubbles was blown into the sky by the wind, and they were so colorful.

She thought those bubbles could take her to the wonderful land of fairy tales where there were no hunger, beatings, or insults. Hence, she ran and chased after them desperately. She reached out to touch them, only to see those bubbles shatter at her fingertips and quickly disappear.

However, she was chasing those colorful bubbles again. It was just that now, they were all around her, dancing and jumping with joy.

Suzy was exhausted and fell asleep for quite some time. By the time she woke up, it was already dark out.

The room was dark and quiet. George was not in the room.

Suzy simply put on a pair of pajamas. When she walked to the living room, she heard the man talking on the phone in his study. It seemed like he was arranging matters at work.

She was famished, so she walked straight to the kitchen. Since Nelly had moved downstairs, she would usually settle her meals at Nelly's place. There was only yogurt and ice cream in her refrigerator.

She took out the large bucket of ice cream, walked to the balcony, and ate it in the evening breeze. The cold and sweet dessert slid down her throat. Suzy could not help but shudder while letting out a satisfied sigh.

However, just after taking two bites, George suddenly came over and took the ice cream from her hand.

Suzy looked at him in astonishment.

Then, George frowned and said solemnly, "Aren't you afraid of having cramps now? You can't eat too many cold things from now on."

Suzy's eyes looked innocent as she pursed her lips to negotiate with him, saying, "Let me have just a half bucket. I'm hungry."

"I'll take you out for a meal if you're hungry, but you're not allowed to have ice cream in the future." After that, the man walked back to the living room and threw the ice cream into the trash can mercilessly.

Suzy was heartbroken upon witnessing this dreadful scene. She said angrily in a low tone," Smoking isn't good either. Can you go cold turkey, Mr. Laine?"

George turned his head. Under the twilight, his eyes were darker and deeper. He nodded slowly and replied, "Sure. I'll go immediately stop smoking, and you'll do the same for ice cream. If I smoke one cigarette, I'll allow you to eat one bucket of ice cream."

Suzy's eyes lit up. “Really?" "Really.” George slowly smiled with his thin lips. "We'll supervise each other."
