The Sweet Pursuit by Golden Autumn
Chapter 227

James smiled at Nelly lightly. "It's not expensive. It's just ordinary champagne, so take it!" Suzy looked at the champagne, and it was a bottle of rosé from Feranse. It was indeed not that expensive, only about 15 grand a pop. Hearing that it was ordinary champagne, Nelly accepted it. "Thank you!" "No need to thank me. Think of it as an exchange for your crucian carp stew!" James laughed, nodded to Suzy again, and turned to go to the study.

Nelly opened the bottle and looked for two champagne glasses. "Let's go to the balcony and talk there!" "Okay!"

They placed a carpet on the balcony, and Nelly poured out glasses of rosé like beer. She handed

very good."

Afterward, she took a sip of the champagne from the glass. Her eyes suddenly lit up. "This is pretty good. It's better than what I had before."

Suzy smiled and said nothing. She merely took a sip of it as well.

"Gimme a second!" Nelly got up and went to the kitchen. She went to take the pastries that she made and two tubs of ice cream over. "I made the cake fresh from the oven, and the ice cream was bought from the supermarket before. They're all flavors that you like."

Suzy glanced at the ice cream tub. It was her favorite brand, but it was also very expensive. Even if Nelly made cakes the entire day, it would barely be enough to cover the cost of these two tubs of ice cream.

She opened the ice cream, lowered her eyes, and said, "Don't buy ice cream again in the future."

"What's the matter?" Nelly asked. Suzy raised her eyes and said with a small smile, "I have severe menstrual cramps, so I'm quitting ice cream cold turkey." "Is that so?" Nelly frowned. "Why didn't you tell me this earlier? Then don't eat it!" Suzy quickly dodged and said, "Well, I'll quit eating after this one. Otherwise, it'll go to waste!"

Nelly giggled, revealing two dimples on her cheeks. "I know you won't be able to help yourseiri

She had never seen someone who liked ice cream as much as Suzy before, Suzy stooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth. She let out a satisfied sigh. Why on earth should she quit such a beautiful thing? Thir 1 we sat on the balcony watching the night view of River City. They drank champagne and

leipcream as they chatted. It was just like when they lived together before.

Very quickly, half of the champagne was gone. Suzy noticed that Nelly's eyes were getting a little dazed. She calmly took the champagne behind her and went to the kitchen to get a cup of yogurt to sober her up. Nelly was now staying with James, so some things were hard to prevent.

When James came out of his study, Nelly was leaning on the railing, pointing to the sky, and saying to Suzy, "Look, Suze! A shooting star! Shooting star!!! Quick, make a wish!"

After saying that, she actually put her hands together and muttered something.

James thought that it was rather amusing that there were still girls who believed in making a wish on a shooting star like little children.

He took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the two people on the balcony, and then sent it to George in a text. [The greatest joy in life is having the company of women. Plus, they're two very beautiful women.] At this moment, George and his father were sending the guests out of the Laine family's house. When George heard the ping on his phone, he took it out to look at it. His eyes narrowed slightly.

The guests had already gotten into their cars, so Graham and George turned around and went back to the house.

George raised his head and said, "I'm not heading back in. I have something else to do outside."

Graham and Gregory turned their heads at the same time. Gregory asked, "You're still heading out when it's this late? What have you been busy with recently? You haven't been coming back home for so many days!" "Mm. There are a lot of

things going on back in the company," replied George somewhat quietly. "James is looking for me." "Are you driving yourself?" Graham asked. "It'll be fine. I haven't been drinking," said George. "Be careful while you're on the road!" Gregory instructed with concern. George nodded, then turned and walked toward the parking lot of the villa.

He went into the car and left the villa. Then, he quickly got onto the main road and drove toward the city center.
