[Chapter 32]

"What's up, George? I bet you forced Garnett, didn't you?" Ami teased.

George looked at me, clearly unsure of what to say or feeling embarrassed.

I stood up.

"I want to say that he didn’t force me to wear this necklace," I said.

The two of them immediately stopped and looked at me, clearly surprised.

"Really? But didn’t we all make a promise?" Elisha asked.

"Yes. I haven’t forgotten that. I agreed to wear this necklace because I trust George," I said, then looked at him. "He’ll wait, and while he’s doing that, I’ll get to know him better," I smiled slightly.

I looked at the two of them.

"So please don’t tease him anymore. He needs to go home."

They didn’t say anything more and just nodded. I smiled. After that, I escorted George outside.

"Sorry about the three of them, especially those two."

He chuckled a little.

"It’s fine. I know they’re just worried about you."

I nodded and smiled.

"But thank you, thank you for letting me wait for you."
