Chapter 71 Drag People Down
Early the next morning.
George changed into a black suit, styled his hair meticulously, and wore a pair of gold–rimmed glasses
on the bridge of his nose, making him look even more refined.
He froze for a while.
From a distance, he saw Athena, who was wearing a black puff jacket.
She trotted over.
The morning mist was thick.
The tip of her nose was red from running, and her clear eyes seemed to be wrapped in a layer of mist.
The door of the passenger seat opened.
She came in quickly and rubbed her red hands.
“The temperature drops a lot today. It is too cold!”
The air conditioner was on in the car.
Athena felt better after a while.

George handed Athena the breakfast.
Athena thought it might be something like bread or a sandwich.
She opened it.
“You made it?” Athena was astonished.
“Yeah.” George nodded. “Eat it before it gets cold.”
“George, you used to be a kitchen destroyer, but now you know how to cook.” Athena was surprised.
“The foreign food is not tasty, so I learned how to cook by myself slowly.” George started the car.
They went in the direction of Colwi Cemetery.
It was a long way from the urban area to Colwi Cemetery, and it took nearly two hours to drive.
Athena was full, and in the warm environment, she began to feel sleepy again.
While waiting for the traffic light, George gave her a small pillow.
Athena hugged the pillow and immediately fell asleep comfortably.

Inside the car, a piece of country jazz music was playing, and the volume was very low, creating a
quiet atmosphere.
George would look at Athena from time to time.
When he talked about getting married yesterday, he was really impulsive.
George went back and thought about it all night.
He didn’t regret the impulse at that time at all.
Now he was only thinking about how to get Athena to agreè.

They arrived at the cemetery.
The thick fog cleared a lot.
After the sun came out, it wasn’t that cold anymore.
The manager was off today.
There was an old lady whom Athena didn’t know in the manager’s office.
When the lady saw Athena, she took out her mobile phone and took a closer look.
Then, her eyes lit up.
When Athena left, she immediately took out her phone and called a number that was saved as ATM. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

The pines and cypresses in the cemetery were tall and straight.
George brought flowers and poured wine, but Athena didn’t intervene.
She carefully wiped the two tombstones.
“Mom, do you still remember George? You liked him the most when you were young!”
George just listened.
He remembered what Athena’s mother had said jokingly when he was young.
“George, she didn’t finish her homework, and you don’t let me punish her. What if she grows up and
knows nothing? Will you marry her then?”
At that time, George was shy.
People around were laughing.
But he still stuck his neck and replied with a blushing face, “Fine. I will marry her! Anyway, you can’t
punish her!”
George closed his eyes.
Then, he bowed to Natasha.
“Madam, I’m here to fulfill my promise. Please allow me to

marry Athena!”
Then, he bowed to Athena’s grandparents again.
There was also an extremely devout prayer. “I will be very good to Athena, and I will never let her
suffer alone again. Please
bless me and make my wishes come true!”
Athena saw George was so quiet.
She looked back at him.
She saw him standing straight like a pine tree with his hands folded and his eyes closed. He looked
devout.
She wondered if he was talking nonsense to her grandparents.
Athena turned around.
She hurried up and said in her heart.
“Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma, don’t listen to what George said! I don’t want to drag people down!”
She finished talking and got up.
Then, she interrupted George’s prayer.
“George, do
do you want ice cream?”
