Jordan nodded. “Milly. I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not properly guiding Stephanie and not protecting you
Milly smiled warmly and replied, “It’s all right. I’m not upset about it. Please don’t worry too much.”
Stephanie’s antics didn’t bother her at all. She just played along to pass the time.
In fact, she found it quite amusing. It brought some excitement to her otherwise dull life.
But Jordan didn’t see it that way. Seeing Milly trying to comfort him with a smile made him uneasy. He couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt, deepening his inner turmoil.
The image of her alone in the morgue in his previous life, frail and pale
The pain in his heart was almost suffocating.
“Milly, this time, I will protect you no matter what. I will support you in whatever you want to do. As long as you are happy, safe, and healthy.”
“Huh?” Milly was surprised by this sudden, serious promise. Why would he say something like that out of the blue?
And considering the Burnetts’s imminent bankruptcy, her survival would be a concern, let alone her desires.
For a moment, she was at a loss for words.
Due to Stephanie’s unexpected fall, the school had to quickly attend to her injuries to prevent any negative consequences. The swearing ceremony had to be abruptly ended.
George sighed, looking down at Milly’s soft hair. He reluctantly said. “It seems like we won’t be able to hug today.”
His warm breath on Milly’s ear made it hard for her to ignore.
Turning to him, she asked, “Do you want a hug?”
George raised an eyebrow, gazing at her openly. “Yes.”
Before he could react, a large figure jumped on him, embracing and nuzzling him. “Wow, George, I didn’t know you cared so much about me. If you want a hug, just ask. I’ll hug you every day!
“Do you want a kiss too? Muah!”
George was taken aback and received two kisses from William, his expression darkening instantly!
He had never wanted to strangle his brother more than in that moment,
Milly couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the sight. George brought this upon himself with his ulterior motives against her.
He deserved it!

the playground. His expression hinted at a desire to give him a shoulder throw.
“Danny!”
Upon hearing the CEO call his name, Danny immediately understood and handed him a wet wipe.
George carefully cleaned his fingers, then roughly wiped his face, focusing on the areas where William had kissed him until they turned slightly red. He then removed his expensive suit and handed it to Danny,
He said, “Get rid of this. As for the orphanage we discussed last time, I believe we should prioritise it now.”
Danny glanced at William, still innocently squatting on the playground, and replied, “Yes, sir.”
Milly smirked, finding the affectionate yet dangerous dynamic between the two brothers quite amusing.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of Milly–it was Melanie, who had just stepped down from the stage.
She appeared calmer than before, though her lack of sleep was evident from her dark circles and tired complexion. However, her eyes shone brightly, free from any bad intentions.
Thank you, Milly”
Milly blinked in surprise at Melanie’s sudden appearance. Thank me?”
Melanie nodded. “I have never had to worry about food and clothing since I was young. It may seem like I have a carefree life, but deep down, I’ve always felt aimless about my future.
“Now that my family has gone bankrupt, it seems like many things have suddenly become clear to me. including the future that used to trouble me. I have found what I want. Please don’t misunderstand. I am not asking for your help. I just want to thank you sincerely.”
After saying this, she let out a sigh as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. She raised her eyebrows, waved with youthful vigour, and said, “Milly, goodbye.”
Milly stood still and curled her lips. “Goodbye”
After the swearing ceremony, students could go home with their parents.
Milly looked up at Leon beside her, her eyes showing a dependence that she couldn’t control. “Where do you live now?”
Because the original owner was taken back to the Burnetts, the foster parents were overly sad, so Leon took them abroad to live, and their house here had long been sold.
Leon smiled gently, reached out and pinched her earlobe. “Don’t worry, I’m staying at a friend’s house now. After this busy time, I will have time to play with you.”
Milly nodded, feeling a bit down. “Okay.”
She wanted to live with Leon
Jordan squinted his eyes and watched as Leon pinched Milly’s earlobe. At that moment, he wanted to break his hand!

No, not just break his hand. He wanted to break every part of him!
Just then, the principal hurried over in a fluster. “Mr. Burnett, please go check on Stephanie. She refuses treatment unless she sees you. Look
Jordan withdrew his gaze but still exuded a fierce aura, causing the principal to tremble,
Oh no, the boss‘ face looks so scary. Could it be because we made Stephanie fall down the stairs, and he’s angry? But we are innocent. We just checked the stairs, and they were fine. She simply lost her footing and fell. Will Mr. Burnett retaliate against us?
Jordan only glanced at him and then turned his gaze to Milly, standing beside him. He softened his voice and said, “Milly, wait for me. I’ll be back soon.”
Milly nodded.
Seeing her obedient appearance, Jordan couldn’t help but smile, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
He discreetly glanced at George and Leon, still standing in place, and said to Ivan, following behind him, “You stay here to take care of Milly. There mustn’t be any mishaps.
Ivan nodded and replied, “Yes, sir.”
