The Sweet Pursuit by Golden Autumn
Chapter 208

George was half-squatting in front of the Epiphyllums, collecting pollen with the tools. When he saw her coming over, he smiled and asked, "Didn't you go to bed?" Suzy poured the tea into a gup and said, "I was going to sleep, but I woke up when the kitchen brought over the tea they prepared."

She brought the tea to George. "It's made with water chestnuts, snow pears, and corn. See if you like it?"

George took the cup and took a sip of the tea. He nodded and said, "Mm. It's very sweet." He chuckled casually and said, "I think River household's food suits your palate very well!" Suzy held the bowl and looked indifferent. "It's probably because they're all Cloud City's delicacies."

The two went back to bed when it was early in the morning. When they arrived at the door, George grabbed onto Suzy's hand and refused to let go. "I've noticed that the bed is big. It's more than enough for two people."

The sleeping myna next to him was awakened and turned its head suddenly. A pair of small red eyes stared at them like they were infrared rays.

Suzy glanced at the myna and said in a low voice, "We're in someone else's house, so it won't be polite."

George chuckled. "I didn't say that we'd be doing anything. I was just afraid that you'd be afraid in an unfamiliar place."

Suzy let out a snort in her heart. Those words were merely pleasant to the ears. If they got on the same bed together and he could control himself, then that person could not possibly be George Laine!

"I'm not afraid. Plus, isn't it standing guard outside?" Suzy looked at the myna that was looking at them and said half-jokingly. The myna shouted, "Don't be scared! Don't be scared! Don't be afraid of the rain or storm, be afraid of lying men!"

George's jet black eyes shot a glance at it, and he said with a sneer, "Talk again and I'll seal your beak!"

"You dare?! You dare?!" The myna slapped its wings and yelled at him.

"Shh!" Suzy put her index finger on her lips and made a silent gesture. "Everyone's asleep, please be quiet!"

The myna grew silent and turned its head away, no longer looking at George.

George could not help but laugh, "This little thing is so annoying!" The myna wanted to refute, but Suzy swiped a palm over it and it quickly hid away. It did not dare to speak anymore.

Suzy pushed George back into his room and said, "It's late. Go to bed!" "Keep your phone by your side and don't turn it off," George instructed.

Suzy could not help but laugh. "Rest assured. This is the River household, not a robbers' den!" "Mm. Head on in, then!" George caressed her head, watched her enter the door, and then turned back to his room. River City.

Nelly had fallen asleep in the middle of the night but was suddenly woken up. She heard some movement outside.

She got out of bed in her pajamas, and when she opened the door, she picked up the bat she had put in the cabinet for self-defense.

The living room was dark, and only the lights from the balcony flickered dimly. She walked over slowly, and her eyes suddenly widened. She raised her hand to cover her mouth, and a layer of sweat appeared on her back in an instant. There was someone on the balcony! It was a man standing in front of the cabinet on the balcony. He seemed to be looking for something

A thief?

How could there be a thief when there was a guarded entrance? Could it be that he climbed in from the balcony? However, this was the 30th floor! It seemed like this thief had some tricks up his sleeves. She must take advantage of the situation and knock him down with one blow!

Nelly's chest was thumping, and her forehead was sweating as she grabbed the bat in her hand. She híd behind the sofa and approached the thief' little by little.

The light on the balcony was dim, and she was getting closer. The tall man's figure gradually became clearer. At the same time, she could smell the alcohol emanating from the man's body. Nelly's mind started spinning rapidly. The 'thief' had even drunk alcohol before this. He must have presumably taken advantage of the courage the alcohol gave him to commit the crime.

Nelly crept up behind him, held her breath, and looked up slightly. Then, she quietly took a deep breath, stood up abruptly, and vigorously swung the bat in her hand.
