Looking at Jack's tall, imposing figure, Georgia felt her cheeks flush crimson with embarrassment and excitement. Her mind was still reeling from the whirlwind of events that had transpired just moments ago. She had never expected that her parents would be so understanding about the sudden revelation of her marriage certificate, especially considering their usually strict demeanor.
But to her astonishment, instead of the expected outburst, they seemed to have a silent understanding. Was it all because of the enigmatic man standing by her side? Georgia couldn't help but wonder. Jack's presence had an inexplicable effect on her parents, one that seemed to dissolve any traces of anger or disappointment.
Lost in her thoughts, Georgia surreptitiously observed Jack's figure, her eyes falling on his hand, which bore the same ring that now adorned her finger. Memories of their intimate exchange of rings rushed back to her, igniting warmth in her heart. She remembered how her hand had trembled slightly as it met his, and the gentle pressure of his touch had made her heart skip a beat.
Despite his outward appearance of an enigmatic iceberg, she had discovered a surprisingly warm and comforting palm when their hands intertwined. With him by her side, it felt like there was nothing they couldn't conquer together. He exuded an aura of strength and reliability that made her believe that no matter the challenges they faced, they would emerge victorious.
Her musings on Jack's comforting presence were interrupted when she realized that he had come to a halt, and she had accidentally collided with his strong back. Gasping in surprise, she quickly stepped back, embarrassment flooding her cheeks. As she looked up, she found Jack's eyes fixed on her with a hint of amusement. Despite the stoic expression he usually wore, she could now detect a softness in his gaze.
Recalling the gold card he had handed her, Georgia hesitated before accepting it, her mind still processing the enormity of this gesture. The gold card represented his boundless wealth and seemed to underscore the vast gap between their social standings. But there was something undeniably alluring about this enigmatic man who effortlessly defied expectations.
As she held the gold card, her thoughts wandered to the generosity it symbolized. How much money must be contained within it? It was a realm of wealth she had never imagined before. The idea of such prosperity was both fascinating and overwhelming, prompting her money-savvy nature to compare the figures silently in her mind.
Just then, Du Yue, who had come to pick up Jack, pulled up in a sleek car. He noticed Georgia's endearing expressions and the slight blush that adorned her cheeks, and a faint smile appeared on his otherwise stoic lips. It was evident that Georgia was unknowingly endearing herself to those around her, and Du Yue couldn't help but admire her unaffected charm.
Jack got into the car and rolled down the window, turning his attention back to Georgia. "Tomorrow, I will come to pick you up, and we'll go to our new home," he announced in a tone that brooked no argument.
"Eh?" Georgia's attention snapped back to the present, taken aback by the sudden revelation. However, before she could fully process the information, the car sped away, leaving her slightly bewildered.
As she stood there, trying to make sense of Jack's words, a sudden realization struck her. "Our new home?" she repeated to herself, her face reddening again, but this time with a mix of excitement and anticipation. She couldn't believe her ears. Had Jack just implied that they would be living together?
The thought sent her heart into a joyful frenzy, and a warm feeling spread through her chest. Their relationship had escalated at a dizzying pace, but Georgia felt an inexplicable sense of trust in Jack. It was as though she had known him forever, and there was an undeniable connection between them that defied explanation.
True to his word, the next morning, Jack was waiting downstairs in the neighborhood where Georgia lived. With Ms. Liu's gentle urging, Georgia hastily dressed in a simple yet elegant white T-shirt and nibbled on half a piece of steamed bread as she hurried downstairs.
As she descended the stairs, she felt the burning gazes of curious onlookers, but her focus was solely on Jack, who stood patiently waiting for her. Du Yue, standing beside him, greeted her with a respectful "Good morning, madam," and though the title felt foreign and awkward, she appreciated his formality.
As she climbed into the car, her eyes were immediately drawn to Jack, who exuded an air of sophistication in his black suit. He looked remarkably attractive, and his attire was subtly alluring, with the top buttons of his black shirt left undone, exposing a hint of his strong collarbone.
Georgia felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness as she settled into the luxurious car. As they began their journey, she found herself stealing glances at Jack, who sat beside her with an air of quiet confidence. Despite his stoic exterior, she could sense a depth of emotion in him that was beyond the words he spoke.
As they drove, Georgia couldn't help but wonder what their new home would be like. Her heart raced at the thought of starting a new life with Jack, embarking on a journey filled with unknowns and adventures. She had no idea where this path would lead them, but she was ready to embrace it wholeheartedly.
As they reached their destination, Georgia's eyes widened in surprise. The building before her was an architectural masterpiece, a testament to Jack's impeccable taste and boundless resources. She couldn't believe that this would be their new home - a place where they would build their future together.
At that moment, she realized that Jack's love for her knew no limits, and the thought filled her heart with joy and gratitude. Her life had taken an unexpected turn, but she couldn't help but feel that it was exactly where she was meant to be - by Jack's side.
With a newfound sense of excitement and determination, Georgia took Jack's hand in hers, a silent vow passing between them. Their journey had only just begun, but she knew that with him, she had found a love that transcended all expectations and boundaries. Together, they would face the world, hand in hand, ready to create a life filled with love, passion, and boundless possibilities. And as they stepped into their new home, they embraced the uncertainty of the future, knowing that their love would be the guiding light in this beautiful adventure they were about to embark on.
