Ways to Woo a Spouse 

Actually, it only took a moment. Once Milly got close enough for him to smell her familiar scent, George was certain it wasn’t a dream. 

But then, she said they were just friends and his explanation got stuck in his throat. 

When George was feeling utterly hopeless, thinking that Milly had friend–zoned him, she suddenly kissed him. At that moment, he felt that love was in the air. 

His icy heart completely melted when she said she wanted to pursue him. 

Now, he thought that Milly had bought a ring to propose to him even without knowing him well. A man should have done those things. Yet, here she is, the woman of my dreams, taking the lead. 

George’s fingers tightened around the crystal box, feeling a pang of heartache. 

Seeing him spacing out, Milly couldn’t help but urge, “What’s wrong? Hurry and open it.” 

George gulped and looked at her seriously. “Have you really thought this through?” 

Milly was taken aback. “Huh? What?” 

George lifted the crystal box in his hand. “Are you sure you want to give this to me? No regrets?” 

Milly was completely confused. Although she couldn’t understand why an apple made him so serious, she nodded honestly. “Yeah, it’s already in your hands, why would I regret it?” 

George suddenly smiled. 

Milly was stunned for a moment. 

She had never seen George’s smile up close before. It wasn’t a smirk, but a genuine, happy smile. 

His usual cold and distant demeanour disappeared as he looked at her dotingly with a smile that lit up the 

whole room. 

Milly thought that she was someone who was quite composed, but she couldn’t help but gulp at George’s stunning smile. He was indeed very handsome. 

The next moment, George slowly opened the lid of the crystal box. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

But, his smile froze the next second. 

Milly didn’t notice his change in emotion. She thought he was just surprised. 

“Well? Isn’t it cute? This is the best one I’ve ever carved. I learned it from Jordan specifically,” Milly said proudly. 

George was at a loss for words. 

Gosh! What am I expecting? 

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, feeling a headache coming on.

“You used a crystal box for an apple?” 

Milly nodded. “Yes, it’s a gift for you. Even if it’s a small gestore, I wanted it to look nice, so I found a beautiful crystal box for it. I’ve quite good taste, right? 

Her eyes sparkled with anticipation. At that moment, even if there was a bomb in the box, George would be fine with it. 

“Yeah, I like it very much” 

Of course, George would like something that was created by Milly, 

It was fortunate that it wasn’t a ring. Given the current situation that he was still amnesiac, even if it were a ring, he couldn’t accept it. He doesn’t want her to feel that he’s taking this lightly. 

Besides, his proposal wouldn’t be just a small ring. It has to be grand enough to make international headlines. 

He would give her a proposal ceremony that everyone envied. 

Milly wasn’t aware of his thoughts. She was delighted when George said that he liked her gift. Try it! This apple is very sweet. Anthony said Jordan had it flown in fresh this morning from an experimental base.” 

She didn’t notice the pride in her voice as she spoke. 

George pursed his lips at the slightly oxidized apple. She’s right. This apple was indeed from an experimental base, probably a national experimental base. 

Though national experimental bases usually didn’t sell their products, a family like the Burnetts could pull it off with enough money. 

Jordan cared for Milly more than George had imagined, and Milly seemed to depend on Jordan a lot. She was speaking with pride about her brother. 

When did things change? 

He semembered when investigating the Burnetts, the Burnett brothers doted on their adopted sister, Stephanie, more than anyone else. Their sudden change couldn’t be coincidental. 

Knowing the scheming nature of the upper class, he understood that things were never as simple as they appeared. For those at the top, money and fame were more important while familial ties weren’t a thing that they would value. 

George’s eyes darkened. If Jordan or any of the Burnetts planned to use Milly for some dirty deal, he wouldn’t hesitate to deal with them. 

He took a deep breath to suppress his emotions. “I just ate. I’m not hungry right now. I’ll eat it later.” 

Milly understood George well enough to know that when he said he’d eat it later, he meant it. 

Then, her eyes lit up as she asked, “So, Mr. Tate, what do we do next?” 

George raised an evebrow in amusement. “Aren’t you supposed to be pursuing me? Shouldn’t vou decide

what we do next?” 

Milly tilted her head. Yeah, he had a point. 

But, she had never pursued anyone before and didn’t know what to do. Anthony and the others hadn’t been very helpful either. 

So, she decided to ask Google for suggestions. 

Surprisingly, she found an article titled “100 Ways to Woo a Spouse“. 

This would be alright… right?
