Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 158 On the Hunt for the Perfect Match Suddenly, George made an entrance, looking sharp in a sleek suit, his aura both icy and polished, almost like he'd just stepped off a runway. Trailing behind him was a servant, arms loaded with various things.

un and As George walked in, the old man's face lit up with a smile. Using a cane for support, he stood up welcomed him, "Ah, George, you've made it. What's with all the stuff, though?" George had brought quite the haul with him, setting up his collection of coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, health supplements, and more in the living room corner, turning it into a mini marketplace.

In response to the old man's question, George smiled, "I just thought it was the right thing to do, Old Mr. Burnett. I've been swamped with work and couldn't visit earlier. Managed to squeeze in sttoday, so here I am to see you." Philip, hearing this, let out a laugh. He was obviously touched but kept up a bit of a stern front, commenting. That explains why Andrew can't stop singing your praises. Always so thoughtful. Next time, bring yourself; there is no need for all the extras." It was clear Philip had a soft spot for George. After all, George, who had been taken in by another family as a kid, was academically brilliant, good-looking, and skilled in multiple areas. His success in managing the Tates and business had made him quite the favourite among the older generations.

Knowing Philip liked things a certain way, George always wanted to make a good impression. "Will do, Grandpa, he complied.

Philip's smile widened at George's answer.

"Stephanie, let's get a cup of coffee for George," he called out. E Stephanie, who was nearby, responded with a shy smile and a nod, "Right away?" Calm and composed, George seemed to mesmerize Stephanie with his every move. Despite being around many high achievers and successful people, she felt particularly drawn to him.

He was exactly who she wanted by her side.

With a playful and sweet smile, Stephanie asked, “George, would you like sespresso or macchiato?" But George surprised her, "Actually, I'll have a latte." Stephanie was caught off guard, knowing that the Tates weren't usually fans of milk-based coffee. Had she gotten misinformation? Curious but willing, she answered, "Of course, George. Just a moment." Watching Stephanie act so flirtatiously, Philip, despite his age, could tell she was falling for him. The Burnetts, a leading family with only one daughter, Stephanie, were worried about her future partner.

Finding someone who matched their status and genuinely cared for Stephanie was critical.

But, the long-standing friendship between the Burnetts and the Tates and George's sterling qualities made Philip less concerned.

Chapter 158 On the Hunt for the Perfect Match comfortably sitting on the couch. He casually asked, "George, what's your age now?" George replied calmly, "Twenty-three." "Twenty-three, huh? Not so young anymore, are we?" George just nodded with a smile, opting to stay quiet.

Philip was playing with his prayer beads when he questioned, "Got someone special in your life?" Just as George was about to answer, Anthony and Jonathan quickly stood before Milly, ready to defend her.

They rolled up their sleeves and stared down George, their teeth clenched.

They were prepared to confront him if he said anything out of line about Milly.

Despite his friendly exterior, they knew he was up to no good.

Philip noticed the two blocking the view, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "What in the world are you two doing blocking the way?" Jonathan and Anthony were silent.

They were so focused on protecting Milly that they momentarily forgot about Philip's presence.

Fortunately, Jonathan, always ready for unexpected situations, cup with a quick excuse: "Grandpa, we just noticed this spot has great vibes for standing!" Anthony remained silent; so did Philip.

Overseeing these two rascals, he had gotten good at reading their minds through their gazes.

Their attempt at looking serious was laughable.

Clearly, they were up to something.

"You two, 'stop embarrassing m yourselves in front of George and sit over there. If you're so keen on standing, I'll give you plenty of that later," Philip roared. The duo winced, clearly intimidated, Yet, they stood their ground in front of Milly, determined.

Struggling to find his words, Anthony managed, "Grandpa, we're just going to stand here Listening to you. guys talk, it's just that we hear better this way, yeah?" He quickly looked at Jonathan, who backed him up, "Absolutely, standing keeps the blood flowing, wakes up the brain, and yeah, we can hear much better." Philip eyed his grandsons, who were trying to look innocent and couldn't help but doubt their reasoning. Their explanations were a string of absurdities.

Just as Philip was about to lose his patience, George grinned, steering the conversation away. "Old Mr. Burnett, could you repeat that question?" With Philip's attention now diverted, he inquired, "So, got your eye on anyone special at your age?" Chapter 158 On the Hunt for the Perfect Match

Milly couldn't help but notice George's look seemed to linger on her. Yet, whenever she attempted to catch his gaze, Jonathan and Anthony were in the way, shielding her view. Driven by curiosity and perhaps something more, she awaited his answer.
