Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGeorgie approached Lucas with deliberate steps and claimed the chair positioned directly across from his desk. "Lucas, my husband and I will be departing for Soling immediately following this afternoon's meal. Before our departure, I felt compelled to discuss something of paramount importance with you." "What is it?" Lucas raised his gaze to meet hers.
Pressing her lips together for a moment, Georgie said, "Faye represents our most pressing concern and responsibility. As her devoted uncle, you must guarantee she receives exceptional care and protection, ensuring she never endures any form of mistreatment, okay?" Lucas' brows drew together in a subtle frown, and he responded directly, "I willingly accept the responsibility of caring for Faye's welfare. However... preventing her from experiencing any hardships or disappointments is beyond my power to promise absolutely." Georgie regarded him with a mixture of exasperation and countered sharply, "How can such protection exceed your capabilities? Lucas, given your considerable influence and resources, surely you possess the means to safeguard your own beloved niece from harm." Lucas chose silence rather than dignifying her challenge with an immediate response.
Georgie pressed forward with renewed determination. "Speaking of protective measures, Lucas, you really can't let Faye stay at your place with you? I continue to believe such an arrangement represents the epitof reasonable solutions. Are specific concerns troubling you? Is it because Belinda doesn't agree? If her disapproval constitutes the primary obstacle, I will talk to her personally." When Lucas heard her bring up the topic again, his brows tightened sharply.
He languidly lifted his gaze to study Georgie's expectant features, and his thin lips parted to deliver measured words.
"Georgie, I've made my stance on this matter clear last night." gvlnovsis your escape to fiction "But why must you maintain such stubborn opposition?" Georgie demanded, demonstrating her unwillingness to give up.
Lucas' voice was cold as he said, "The arrangement lacks fundamental appropriateness. Faye has matured into full adulthood, a woman navigating her..." Twenties, and she should demonstrate acute awareness of proper boundaries and social expectations. I serve merely as her uncle, not as her parental figure. Tending to her daily personal needs falls outside the scope of my obligations."
Georgie's eyes executed a dismissive roll as she responded with barely concealed sarcasm, "Oh, please sparesuch excuses! The real reason behind your refusal stems purely from your anxiety about Belinda's potential displeasure with the situation. It's obvious that Faye is not as important as Belinda in your eyes."
"Of course, she cannot match Belinda's significance in my eyes!" Lucas said without the slightest hesitation. "Belinda Yepresents the lover of my entire lifetime; she is the extraordinary woman with whom I intend to spend the rest of my life. No one is more important than her." His tone resonated with unwavering conviction and absolute finality.
