Efren ignored them and walked away, holding Georgia in his arms.
Only after he was gone did his friends whisper to each other.
“Damn, she really is Mr. Serrano’s precious baby.”
“We just badmouthed her. Do you think he’ll throw us in the dungeon too?”Efren was fair and generous, so he had many loyal followers.
But they also knew that they couldn’t mess with his precious baby!
They had not only insulted her in front of Efren, but they had also failed to protect her…
Even the Devil would admire their courage.
They turned to blame Susan.
“Miss Thayer, you must have known she’s his girlfriend. Why didn’t you tell us?”
“Yeah, and we always bring you gifts! Is this how you repay us?”
Susan fumed, especially after seeing Efren kiss Georgia’s forehead…
She was jealous and nearly driven mad because that kiss showed that Georgia was more than just a fling to Efren!
Aside from anger, Susan was also very uneasy.
Georgia had always been far away in New York, yet could still stir Efren’s heart.
If she stayed in Cloudville, what would happen?
Would Susan still have a chance with him?
She was already in a bad mood, and their accusations made her angrier.
“Can’t you use your brains? Are your eyes just for show?”She snapped at them and stormed off.
She couldn’t let Georgia stay close to Efren. She had to do something.
At Efren’s lakeside apartment.
Georgia lay in his bed, still drunk and dizzy from the alcohol.
“It’s so cold,”
she muttered, tossing and turning to find some warmth.
Afraid she might fall off the bed, Efren lay next to her, holding her waist to keep her steady.
“It gets chilly by the lake at night. Stop wriggling, or I won’t catch you if you fall.”
She didn’t seem to understand, but she stopped rolling around.
Instead, she snuggled into his arms.
“There’s an extra button here,”
she said, fumbling with his chest.
Efren pushed her hands away.
“Don’t move, or I’ll have to kiss you.”
She wasn’t deterred by his warning and continued her mischief.”The other buttons are in a straight line. How dare you be different? Get back in place!”
She pulled hard, and Efren gasped.
He grabbed her hands firmly and said,
“You’re asking for it. Don’t blame me when you’re sober. I’ll still tie you to me.”
Hearing his voice, she opened her eyes groggily.
Their eyes met, and he saw himself in her pupils.
Then he kissed her, softly and tenderly, not roughly or greedily.
She couldn’t help but respond…
When the kiss ended, she was almost sober.
She looked at him in disbelief and said,
“That night, you really kissed me?”
She had thought it was a dream. Kissing liked lovers.
She even heard him say,
“Georgia, let’s be together.”
But waking up to Susan and the check had ruined that beautiful dream.
Until now, she hadn’t dared to think about that dream, afraid it would hurt too much to compare it with reality.
But this kiss brought back those memories, blending with the present.
Making her realize it might not have been just a dream.
That was why she sobered up so quickly.
“What do you think, you heartless jerk? You kissed me and then ran away!”
Efren still held her down, lightly pinching her cheeks.
He smiled, seemingly pleased with how they felt.
“This, this…”
She was truly confused.
She never imagined those passionate kisses weren’t a dream.
Had she really kissed Efren and heard him confess his feelings?
But her joy lasted only for a moment before she struggledagain.
“I don’t want to be with a fickle thing like you! Let me go! I want to go home!”
But he didn’t let go, ignoring her complaints.
“Explain yourself. How am I fickle? You stole my first kiss and then ran away!”
She was stunned.
“That was your first kiss?”
His voice turned colder.
“Yes, unlike you, a Hansen heiress who’s dated and been engaged…”
Her mind reeled.
“You investigated me?”
Efren didn’t answer.
He hadn’t investigated her, but he had sent people to secretly protect her all this time.
That was how he learned that Peter had dismissed the hostess and knew Georgia might be in danger.
She took his silence as a confirmation and angrily scolded him.
“How could you secretly investigate me? That’s an invasion of my privacy!”
He didn’t deny it.
Instead, he admitted,
“I know it’s wrong, but I can’t help it!
What do you want me to do?”
Georgia was very puzzled by his words.
But even more so by what he said next,
“I waited for you to grow up for so many years, but you still got with someone else.”
Georgia scratched her head, feeling something was wrong.
“You waited for me? But didn’t you say those gifts were from your assistant?”
She remembered the welcome package when she enrolled in college and the flowers when he coincidentally attended her graduation dinner.
He always sent gifts for her birthdays.
He never missed any of her important moments.
But since he said they were from his assistant, she felt ashamed of her misunderstanding. After that, she didn’t openhis gifts but stored them away.
g for Her to Grow Up
“If I didn’t pretend it was my assistant, and your family found out I had impure thoughts about you as soon as you turned eighteen, that I wanted to take you away, would they have let me go?”
Actually, he wasn’t afraid of angering the Hansen family either.
Back then, he had already established his power in Cloudville and could easily deal with their opposition.
What he was more concerned about was that she wasn’t mature enough.
If her family disapproved, and she left him because of that, it wouldn’t have been worth it.
So he waited until her graduation birthday when his assistant personally delivered the gift.
Seeing her confusion, he asked directly,
“Could it be that you haven’t looked at the graduation gift I sent you?”
That gift contained a
“Sweetheart”
