Chapter 317 Mr Tate Is About to Ignite

George’s deep eyes narrowed.

According to normal logic, if a guy chooses to watch a horror movie with a girl, it’s usually to use the scary atmosphere and the girl’s fear to bring them closer together.

If the roles were reversed, the same logic should apply.

So, he figured he should act a bit scared to advance their relationship. If neither of them got scared, the movie would be pointless.

“Cough…” George cleared his throat.

Milly looked up immediately, concerned. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

George’s eyelashes fluttered as he shook his head. “No, it’s just that this movie is a bit scary.”

His expression was calm, his voice steady. If he hadn’t said he was scared, she wouldn’t have noticed any signs of fear.

Milly thought he was just too proud to show it.

Hearing him say he was scared, she jumped up excitedly, her round eyes gleaming with excitement. “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you!”

George was momentarily speechless.

In all his life, this was the first time a girl had said something like that to him. It felt a bit strange but also kind of nice.

He looked at Milly with a fond smile. “Alright, you protect me.”

Milly was momentarily stunned by his smile. He really was incredibly handsome.

At that moment, she felt a strange sense of duty. Was this what they meant by “pursuing a romantic life, even in death“?

Her throat suddenly felt dry …

As if reading her mind, George then shifted to the side and patted the empty space on the bed. “Do you want to come up and watch with me?”

Milly couldn’t believe her ears. “Huh?”

She had just been admiring his good looks, and now he was inviting her over?

George saw her standing there frozen and thought he had scared her. He bit his tongue in frustration. He had been too forward. Would she think he was trying to take advantage of her? He shouldn’t rush things.

He tried to explain, “No, I meant, if you come up here, it would be more comfortable for you. Holding the phone like that must be tiring. But if you think it’s inappropriate, you don’t have to. I was just-”

“It’s not inappro

te, not at all!” Milly interrupted him.

The next second, she kicked off her shoes, lifted his blanket, and slipped in.

George’s body immediately went rigid.

He had meant for her to lie on the bed, just lie on it, not get under his blanket. Hospital beds were single beds, barely big enough for an adult man, let alone adding a girl. Now the bed felt even more cramped.

The girl he had been longing for was now lying beside him. Her unique fragrance filled his senses, overwhelming him. With just a slight tilt of his head, he could feel Milly’s breath brushing against his neck, sending a shiver down his spine and making his whole body burn as if on fire.

This was… intense.

Milly noticed his stiffness and couldn’t help but look up at him. She saw his cheeks flushed, as if he had a fever.

Worried, she reached out to check his forehead. “What’s wrong? Do you have a fever?”

George quickly turned his head to avoid her touch, his voice husky. “I… I’m fine.”

He bit his tongue hard to keep his voice calm and free of any inappropriate thoughts.

Milly paused, seeing him avoid her hand.

Oh, right. She forgot that George had lost his memory and didn’t remember her. To him, she was a stranger. It made sense for him to be uncomfortable with her touch. The fact that he let her on the bed was already a big concession.

She had jumped into bed without hesitation. Would he think I was too forward? Would it leave a bad impression? But since she was already here, getting off now would be a loss.

After thinking it over, she decided to explain. “Mr. Tate, don’t worry. Even though I’m pursuing you, I won’t take advantage of you! I swear!” As she spoke, she held up three fingers and made a solemn vow.

George responded with a hoarse “Mm,” then closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The one who was driven by desire… It wasn’t you.

Although the movie wasn’t long, it felt like an eternity to George. He didn’t pay any attention to the film’s content. His mind was filled with a struggle to control his desires and the fantasy of holding her close. His reason battled fiercely with his intense longing.

He tried to suppress the overwhelming desire that threatened to consume him, yet he couldn’t help but sink into it.

When Danny pushed the door open, he saw the scene before him. His hand shook, and the files he was carrying fell to the floor with a loud thud, echoing in the quiet hospital room.

Panicking, he bent down to pick up the files but then thought he should cover his eyes. No, maybe it would be better to turn around? If he was going to turn around, why not just leave the room?

This was a disaster. Walking in on such an intimate moment was like asking for trouble.

What an id*ot!

He was doomed. George would probably tear him apart.

And with the year ending, were there any discounts on graves? Could he get a good plot and a decent coffin?

But wait, he came in because he saw George’s text, telling him to come in immediately. Without George’s instruction, he’d never have barged in without knocking. What was going on?

Milly watched Danny by the door, first squatting, then covering his eyes, then turning around, and finally trying to close the door … Frowning, she couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Jarvis, are you … dancing jazz?”

Honestly, he did seem pretty busy.

Danny was speechless.

George spoke up just in time, “Get in here.”

Danny wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurried over, practically crawling. “Mr. Tate,”
