The Sweet Pursuit by Golden Autumn
Chapter 203

When the two went out, the two servers looked at their back views with envy. Among the two, the slightly taller one said with twinkling eyes, "That man is gorgeous! And that girl's incredibly lucky to have an uncle that pampers her!" The servers could not hear the conversation between the two very clearly. They could only. hear the girl continuously calling the man 'Uncle George'. The shorter server next to her glanced at her with disdain. "Do you really think that the two are uncle and niece? Look at their expressions and the doting eyes of that man. They're clearly a couple!" "No way?!" the tall server said in surprise.

"What do you mean? It's not that surprising! Believe me, the man must like that girl very much!"

The tall server was a little excited and a little regretful. "That must mean there isn't any hope for me, huh? I'll ask for his phone number when he comes by again."

"Stop daydreaming. You can tell that he's not an ordinary person just judging by his temperament alone. Plus, see that watch on his wrist? I saw someone mention it on the internet before. The price of that watch will scare you witless!" The taller server let out a sigh, shook her head to calm herself, and turned to go back to work.

Suzy had finally gotten her ice cream, and the two continued to walk forward. Then, they rented a tandem bicycle and rode along the tree-lined road.

The scenery along the way was beautiful. They saw someone playing and singing with a guitar on the side of the road, someone flying a kite on the lawn, and some other couples riding tandem bicycles who greeted them warmly... It was a strange feeling. This felt like a special trip in an unfamiliar place where they could hang out like a real couple.

Suzy knew very well that once they left this place, they would not be able to walk side by side like this again, quarrel over ice cream in a dessert shop, or ride a bike to enjoy the scenery together...

When the two stopped to drink water, someone came over to chat with Suzy. "Hi there, pretty lady. Do you like riding bikes as well? Why don't we exchange phone numbers? We can be friends." Suzy shook her head and politely refused. "My apologies. I may not have the opportunity to come over in the future, so there's no need to exchange phone numbers."

The man was not tactful and continued to pester her, saying, "That doesn't matter. Let's follow each other on Instagram instead and we can keep in touch. I post scenic photos on my Instagram Story every day."

Suzy turned to look at George, who was coming back from the bathroom. She smiled. "Then, how about you go and ask my Uncle George first whether I can give you my phone number?" The man looked at the tall and handsome man walking over and felt an inexplicable sense of inferiority. Nonetheless, he continued to bite the bullet and say, "Aren't you already an adult, pretty lady? You shouldn't have to ask for permission from your uncle to make friends!" George had already come over. He took out his phone, and his face was cold as he said, "How about I give you my number? Here!"

The man immediately put away his mobile phone and smiled awkwardly. "No need. It's alright!" Afterward, the man immediately turned and ran away. Suzy proceeded to bury her head in her arms and laughed. George sat next to her, took the water, and unscrewed the lid to give it to her. "Can you see the difference now?" Suzy took the water bottle and asked with a smile, "What?"

"When someone's hitting on me, you're cheering for them. But when someone approaches you, I have to block them for you!" George snorted coldly.

Suzy started laughing even more. Her eyes were bright as she said, "Well, you're my Uncle George so, of course, you have to take care of me. Don't feel so upset. I'll buy you dinner tonight!"

George raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't we going back to the River household tonight?" Suzy had a sudden realization and said, "Then we'll take a raincheck!"

George's face suddenly sank. Just as he was about to explode, Suzy suddenly leaned over and quickly kissed his lips. It was a slight peck, and Suzy quickly backed away. Her pair of clear eyes carried hints of bashfulness. Under his gaze, she looked away, got up, and walked quickly to the place where the two had parked their bicycle. After a while, Suzy called out to him, "Let's go, Uncle George." George pursed his lips slightly. The spot on the lips where he was just kissed by her was feeling a little strange and numb. The setting sun shone into his dark eyes, and the stream of bright color had penetrated through the darkness. It was shining into the bottom of his eyes.

He looked up at the crowd that was running and having fun in the distance. He slowly curled his lips into a smile. Then, George got up and walked toward Suzy.
