The Sweet Pursuit by Golden Autumn
Chapter 177

Wade complained, "Why didn't you tell me that Uncle George is here, Mom?"

Hazel snorted at her son and scoffed. "Can't you see how awfully busy I am? I don't even see you around, so how on earth could I have informed you?"

Wade said, "I just came back and was on my way to help out in the kitchen!"

"Then head over there quickly!" Hazel said gently, "Don't disturb your Uncle George and his friend's meal."

Wade nodded. He hesitated for a moment and asked Suzy again, "Ms. Shirley, may I have your phone number?"

Since the boy was George's friend, Suzy no longer refused him. She took her phone out and said, "Sure!"

Hazel glanced at George before dragging Wade out of the room. "Get out there, quickly. There are still guests waiting to be served!"

Wade waved at George and Suzy before saying, "I'll come back later!"

When the mother and son went out and the door was closed again, Suzy could not help but let out a laugh. Her eyes were beaming, and her soft fair cheeks were dyed with a touch of pink.

George leaned his back against the chair and looked at her calmly. "What are you laughing at? That I'm the December and you're the May in our relationship?"

Suzy's face flushed red. "I was just thinking that Wade is quite interesting."

George leaned over and looked at her leisurely. "Aren't young lads the cutest?"

Suzy looked at him with a bright pair of eyes and said slowly, "There are plenty of cute people out there, but there'll only be one beautiful Uncle George. However..." Suzy smiled at him before continuing, "If you'll allow me to drink a cup of iced tea, you'd be even better!"

George chuckled as well, "You might be very pretty, but you're great at daydreaming as well!"

Ultimately, Suzy did not get to have her iced tea.

Alter returning to Royal Court, George had work matters to deal with, so he asked Suzy to watch a movie without him.

Suzy's favorite pastime was to eat ice cream while watching a movie. Now that the right to eat ice cream had been deprived from her, she sat still on the carpet and constantly felt that something was missing.

Even the movie had become somewhat boring.

George was occupied until it was about ten o'clock at night. He then finally came out of the study. The TV in the living room was still on, but Suzy was curled up on the sofa and had fallen asleep.

He walked over, squatted down in front of her, and saw that her hair was slightly scattered between her eyebrows. Her nose was tiny, and her pink lips were glistening. Such a gentle appearance could not help but soften one's heart.

It was said that people curled up into a ball when they slept due to insecurities. He knew that she had suffered a lot when she was a child and was even abused. When could he make her feel safe and secure by his side?

George stared fixedly at her face and realized that he had been looking at her for a long time. He could not help but frown. Then, he raised his hand and touched her face. "Do you still want to take a shower?"

Suzy answered him with a drowsy hum but was so sleepy that she did not bother to open her eyes.

"I'll carry you to the bathroom, mm?" The man's voice subconsciously became gentle. He stretched out his hand to hold her firmly in his arms and walked toward the master bedroom,

There was a giant bathtub in the bathroom of the master bedroom. After George took Suzy's clothes off, the water had already filled up.

Her body was submerged in the warm water little by little. The feeling of floating made Suzy wake up. She started struggling instinctively.

George wrapped his arms around her and said softly, "Don't be afraid. I'm right here."

Suzy leaned on him and slowly regained her consciousness. Then, her body gradually relaxed in the warm water

The man was half lying in the bathtub as he stroked her dark hair. The water droplets flowed down his well defined arms, falling into the water in strings and creating ripples.

The bathroom was foggy, and the temperature gradually rose. George lowered his head and kissed the top of Suzy's hair with his hoarse and magnetic voice, he said, "Atta girl."

Suzy lay lazily on his chest and refused to move while saying softly, "No."

She no longer had any strength.

George understood it and kissed her profile lightly. He said coaxingly in her ear, "Be obedient, my darling I'll give you a surprise tomorrow."

Suzy raised her head, trer chain pressing against his chest. Her big eyes were stained with a Layer of mist. "What kind of surprise!"

"I'm certain that you'll like it," the man coaxed softly.

Suzy was still hesitating when the man suddenly hugged her and turned her over. Splash! The water poured out of the bathtub, and the mist evaporated, concealing Suzy's drowsy expression.
