diamond set from a jewelry auction and a handwritten love letter.
He then waited in Cloudville for her answer.
He didn’t expect to wait for more than six months with no response. Instead, he heard the news of her falling in love with another man.
Even today, Efren vividly remembered how, despite the clear sky, his world had turned dark that day…
“No, I thought the later gifts were also from your assistant, so ! just put them in storage.”
Seeing Efren’s strange expression, she cautiously asked,
“What’s wrong? Was there anything special in that gift?”
Efren’s face instantly turned gloomy.
To think he had eagerly waited for her reply for half a year, but she hadn’t even opened it!
“Or I can go home and check tomorrow?”
Feeling his hostility, she changed her strategy, gently flattering him to avoid becoming his next victim.
But then, Efren said,
“No need. Since you didn’t see it, it’s the same if I tell you now!”
Looking at her seriously, he confessed,
“Georgia, I like you. I want to date you properly, with marriage in mind!”
Georgia’s mind went blank.
She didn’t expect him to really like her and confess so directly.
“Speechless?”
Seeing her frozen silence, he urged,
“Well, what do you say?”
Blushing, she muttered,
“What does it matter if I say yes or no?”
“Say yes, and you’re my fianc?e. Say no, and you’ll still be the mother of my child, but one day, you will become my wife.”
Efren leaned in, and his tone soft despite the ultimatum.
He knew Georgia had dated others over the years, but he hadn’t hurt her.
In the end, he couldn’t be that heartless, just trying to intimidate her.
But this tactic worked very well.
In a small voice, she said,
“Since you put it that way, what else can I choose but the first option?”
Efren’s face brightened happily.
“You agreed?”
“Mm.”
Georgia didn’t dare look into his eyes.
Not out of fear but shyness.
She wasn’t scared of his threats, just wanted to follow her heart.
Someone who entered her innocent youth wasn’t easily forgotten.
Otherwise, Efren wouldn’t have waited for her all those years.Nor would she have dwelled on his words from back then…
Now fate gave them another chance. Of course, they had to grab it.
Very pleased, Efren kissed her right away.
He even wanted to do more to express his feelings.
But when his hand slipped under her clothes, she stopped him.
“Don’t rush. Let’s take it slow.”
Efren still had strong urges, but seeing her innocent eyes, he gave in.
“Then don’t change your mind in the morning. Or I’ll go to your family directly.”
Georgia’s mind was a blur. She was happy and surprised but mostly tired.
After half the night, she leaned against Efren and fell into a deep sleep.
Watching her sleep, Efren’s heart settled too.Eventually, he also fell asleep, his arm wrapped around her waist all night…
The next morning, seeing unfamiliar surroundings, Georgia jolted up in shock.
Right, she had met Peter last night and thought he had…
But as she sat up, the arm around her waist pulled her back down.
Then she saw Efren’s handsome face in the morning light that outshone everything else.
She froze, then remembered Efren saving her.
His eyes were still sleepy, and his voice was raspy.
“What? Want to change your mind already?”
Only then did she remember everything that happened under the sheets last night…
“No, I don’t want to change my mind.”
Though she remembered agreeing to be with Efron, it still felt unreal.
She felt awkward being held so close.
Especially when she noticed a certain change in his body, she turned red in embarrassment.
Efren quickly realized what made her uncomfortable.
“Men are like that in the morning.”
Georgia became even more awkward.
Were all men like this?
She really didn’t know!
When she dated Lenard, even kissing was taboo.
How could she act experienced and sophisticated before Efren?
Just as she wondered this, their room door suddenly opened…
Georgia quickly got out of the covers, trying to tidy herself up.
She really wasn’t that experienced. She was embarrassed to be seen lying in Efren’s arms.
But the visitor didn’t seem bothered, saying,
“Sorry, I didn’t expect you to still be in bed so late.”
It was Susan.
Today, she wore a striking red pantsuit.
But her fair skin and elegant figure suited the bold color well, giving her a unique charm.
She came in and asked Georgia cheerfully,
“Did you sleep well last night?”
Seeing Susan dressed and made up so brightly, radiating energy this early, Georgia looked down at herself by contrast.
She was still in last night’s wrinkled and dirty clothes from her near??ssault, makeup unchanged, probably a mess.
She mumbled awkwardly,
“It was fine.”
But her shy response felt like a challenge to Susan.Susan’s manicured nails dug into her palms, soon breaking the skin and drawing blood.
But she seemed unaware of the pain, smiling as she asked,
“Do you want breakfast? Bacon and egg sandwiches or anything else?”
But before Georgia could answer, Efren snapped coldly,
“Get out! Don’t come here without permission anymore.”
Susan felt wounded.
Though there were no visible scars, she was painful.
Efren had never scolded her so harshly before, let alone banned her from his room in the mornings.
Susan thought,
“It must be because of Georgia’s badmouthing me behind my back!
Just because she’s special to Efren, she bullies me like this.”
But Susan didn’t show her anger or jealousy in front of Efren.
She just smiled and said,
“I understand.”
This was how she had stayed safely by Efren’s side for years.But as she left, she explained to Georgia with a smile,
“Sorry, last time we met, I didn’t know you and Mr. Serrano were so close. I thought you were just another girl taking shortcuts. I said those things because I was afraid you’d distract him from work.”
