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.
Now snapping back to reality, she felt her faceflush. “Never mind, if you didn’t catch it clearly. I’ll just go…
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.
So it turns out….
It really can dispel weariness. At least now I feel like I’m filled with strength.
Meanwhile, Milly, being held in his arms, didn’t feel so relaxed. Her body stiffened as he held her, feeling like her whole body wasn’t her own anymore, afraid to move a muscle.
Watching the minutes slip by, his arms around her stayed tight. Unable to bear it any longer, she softly asked, “Um… How much longer are you going to hold me? My neck’s starting to hurt.”
It wasn’t an excuse. Her neck really was starting to hurt.
Hearing her discomfort, George reluctantly let go. “Sorry, I should’ve asked first. I was just too tired.”
“Oh, it’s okay.” Milly, in a good mood, stretched her neck a bit. After all, she was the one who brought it up. so there was no reason to blame him.
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?
This dangerous thought left her utterly stunned, so much so that she forgot she was about to get out of the
car.
Just then, it was as if the bracelet on Milly’s arm sensed her inner emotions. It started swinging wildly, more than it ever had before, making her wrist tingle.
Because her sleeve had slipped down her forearm during the hug with George, the bracelet was now clearly visible.

The erratic movement caught George’s attention.
“What’s going on? Is the bracelet moving by itself?”

Milly tried to stop it with her right hand, but it seemed to have little effect this time. It kept swinging wildly, leaving her no choice but to wait for it to calm down on its own.
“Yeah, it’s not the first time. It’ll calm down in a while.”
Her tone was calm, as if she were describing something mundane and familiar. It was clear she had grown. used to it.
George frowned, his eyes cautious. Why would a bracelet move on its own unless there was something inside it?
The bracelet was a heirloom from his grandmother, always kept safe in the Tate residence. No one would dare tamper with it unless they saw it on Milly and decided to mess with it.
He asked, “How long has this been going on?”
Milly thought for a moment, then answered honestly, “I noticed it started moving shortly after I put it on. At first, it was subtle, but it’s been getting stronger over time.”
George’s expression turned cold upon hearing her words.
This person must be really skilled to pull something off right under the noses of both the Burnetts and the Tates without anyone noticing.

He pressed his lips together, his face darkening. “I’ll get someone to check it out, and see if there’s kind of chip or device inside.”
Then, he began to reach for his phone.
Milly hurriedly raised her hand to halt him. I’ve already had someone look into it before, and there’s no issue with it. It seems the bracelet does have some innate ability of its own.”
At first, she hadn’t believed it either, but repeated incidents showed the bracelet responding to her emotions. Plus, it had always been on her, so there was no chance for anyone to tamper with it.
Besides, since she put on the bracelet and couldn’t take it off easily, she had sensed something was off from the moment it started adjusting freely. But since the bracelet didn’t seem to pose any real danger, she hadn’t paid much attention to it.
George’s expression darkened a bit, his voice rough. “An object like that couldn’t have any strange I’ll have someone take it off, it’s too risky for you to keep wearing it”
abilities.
“Take it off?” Milly frowned. This is your grandmother’s heirloom. Didn’t we discuss before that forcibly removing it could damage ii?”
George looked at the bracelet, emotions gradually intensifying in his eyes, the weariness in his expression seeming to deepen at this moment. “If it’s ruined, then so be it. I believe my grandma wouldn’t blame me.”
He was protecting his beloved, and he believed his grandma, in spirit, would understand and not blame
him.

He still vividly remembered how his grandmother looked wearing that bracelet on her wrist the silver

brown colour against her fair skin, highlighting her elegance and grace. Her hand would point out words in books, reading them out to him one by one, and she would always remind him that boys should protect their girls.
The bracelet, if it’s gone, then so be it.
Despite George’s well–hidden emotions, Milly noticed.
“No need to remove it. I’d like to keep wearing this bracelet. I’ve been wearing it for so long, I’ve gotten
used to it.
“And I think I quite like it.
Her words softly lingered in the car.
George suddenly sat up straight, his eyes fixed on Milly without blinking. His abrupt movement caused his tall figure to hit the roof of the car.
But he seemed oblivious to any pain, his gaze still fixed on Milly. His pupils trembled with confusion. “Milly, what did you mean just now?”
Milly smiled gently, her right hand covering the bracelet which had now stopped moving. “Well, why don’t you guess?”
I…”
George began, eager to ask further, but suddenly his phone, which he had just hung up, started vibrating again.
George glanced at the screen, annoyed, and hung up. But the person on the other end seemed to have urgent matters to discuss, as they promptly called back persistently.
Milly smiled, opened the car door, and stepped out. “Go ahead and handle your business. We’ll talk about whether to take off the bracelet next time we meet.”
