The Sweet Pursuit by Golden Autumn
Chapter 187

Winona waved at her, and the moment the two boats passed by each other, Suzy saw that Winona seemed to be wearing a new ruby necklace around her neck

After eating, Suzy and George went back to take a nap for a while. In the afternoon, the two went fishing by the lake. When the sun was about to set, the servant came over and asked George where they were holding the dinner party.

In the evening, everyone gathered around on the lawn. The long table was covered with a snow -white tablecloth, silver lampstands, as well as beautiful gold-rimmed bowls and plates. The dishes served were exquisite. Coupled with the warm evening breeze, one felt nothing but relaxed from the inside out.

As the sun went down, the surrounding lights lit up a little bit. The aroma of barbecued meat wafted into the distance, and the last glimpse of the setting sun dissipated in the air.

After a few days of getting along, everyone had become familiar with each other. There was no longer any restraint between them, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Winona gave Suzy a glass of ice-cold juice when George was not paying attention. Suzy took a sip and looked at Winona gratefully.

George, who was chatting and laughing with Hilde, suddenly turned around. He lowered his head slightly and asked softly, "Want some cold juice?".

Suzy froze for a moment, shook her head with a smile, and said calmly, "No need!" "Is that so?" George chuckled softly. "I was initially planning on letting you go easy for the day. If you don't want any, then I'll take it away." Afterward, he stretched out his hand and took away the juice in front of Suzy. Suzy, "..." On the opposite side, Winona covered her mouth and smiled. It was charming but filled with envy.

Even when this man was talking to others, he was always constantly paying attention to Suzy. George asked someone to bring Suzy's favorite yellow peach yogurt and poured it into a cup." Eat something before drinking. Don't keep having cold stuff." Suzy's mood improved instantly. If they were not in public, she thought she would have taken the initiative to kiss him. Well, she could still do it at night. Bennett had asked someone to head to a liquor shop with a long-established reputation in Cloud City to buy home-brewed plum wine. Mrs. Merck took a sip and nodded in surprise. "I haven't tasted this in a long time."

Bennett took the opportunity to say, "I brought Winnie to the city today. When I saw this 1 wine, I thought that you'd like some, so I bought plenty of them. You may take them with you when you head back and have a glass whenever you miss your hometown to relieve the pain of homesicknesa!!

Mrs. Merck sincerely thanked him, "Thank you so much!" Hilde was also very happy. "I'm so thankful for this, Mr: Townsend." "Don't be, Mr. Merck. Don't be too polite!" Bennett raised his hand and gave him a toast. Suzy glanced at the ruby necklace on Winona's neck and suddenly felt that Bennett must have had something in mind to have gifted Winona a piece of jewelry while they were here. Winona poured a glass of wine and nodded while smiling. "It tastes really good. The wine has a strong aroma. It's somewhat sweet and sour." She looked at Suzy and said, "Would you like a glass, Suzy?" Just as Suzy was about to say yes, she suddenly remembered something. She looked at George inquiringly. George turned his head. "Just one."

Suzy nodded immediately and handed her glass to Winona, who poured her a full glass.

The men were chatting and laughing. Suzy's party of three were also drinking and chatting. Suzy's wine glass was constantly half-empty because every time she drank some, Winona would secretly pour her more. George pretended not to see anything and connived in Suzy having more to drink today. Winona thought that it was boring to simply drink like this, so she suggested that the three of them play a game together. Mrs. Merck grew excited. "What kind of game?" Winona smiled and said, "Let's play cops and robbers. We'll write the words, 'Cop', 'Soldier', and 'Robber' on separate pieces of paper. We'll each draw one. The one who draws the soldier role will have to guess who's the robber, and if they guess wrong, the person will get punished. If they're right, the person who drew the robber will get punished." Mrs. Merck was intrigued. "So what's the punishment?"
