Chapter 33 First Meeting with George

Inside the elevator.

After pressing the button for the top floor, Gwen looked at Erin, her eyes shimmering, her slightly narrowed eyes seeming to be secretly laughing because of what she had just witnessed.

Seeing this, Erin rolled her eyes. "What are you laughing at?"

Upon hearing this, Gwen immediately wiped the smile from her lips. "It's nothing. Oh, what are you holding?"

After handing the gift box to Gwen, Erin said, "This is a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) from China, a treasured possession of my grandfather. Consider it a gift for this visit."

Upon hearing this, Gwen immediately returned the gift box to Erin and then said seriously, "There's no need to be so formal. And believe me, if you bring this bottle of wine back to my house, Helen will kill me with her eyes."

Erin shrugged. "That's none of my business."

······

Good evening, Mrs. Helen.

"Good evening, Erin." Helen Stacy greeted Erin warmly as she opened the door, saying, "Come in."

After saying thank you, Erin followed Gwen into the house.

"Dinner will probably be another twenty minutes, Gwen, please entertain Erin first."

After saying goodbye to Erin, Helen Stacy hurriedly ran back into the kitchen to prepare tonight's feast.

"Okay, Mom. Oh, by the way, Erin brought Dad a bottle of wine. Where should we put it?"

"As for the wine, just put it in the wine cabinet. You know where the key is, Gwen."

"certainly."

Gwen, having somehow found a key, opened the liquor cabinet, locked the liquor Erin had brought inside, and then dragged Erin upstairs.

After leading Erin into her bedroom and closing the door, Gwen whispered, "This is the first time I've ever seen someone bring me wine, and Helen isn't angry."

"I'm truly honored, but I feel that bottle of wine will never see the light of day again."

Recalling the layer of dust she had glimpsed when Gwen opened the wine cabinet, Erin said this.

Upon hearing this, Gwen smiled brightly: "Of course, unless it's a major holiday, my mother never allows my father to drink. You know, my father is a policeman, and he used to be called out on missions in the middle of the night often due to emergencies."

"This is a wise move."

"Of course," Gwen said proudly. "This wise decision has saved my father countless times."

·······

A dozen minutes later.

Upon receiving a message from his wife Helen, George Stacy put aside his unfinished business and drove home.

"That kid's here?"

"He's chatting with Gwen in his room."

Upon hearing this, George Stacy's eyebrows shot up immediately, and he said in a deep voice, "Just the two of them?"

Seeing her husband's expression, Helen quickly said, "You stay here and help me. Don't go up there and cause trouble."

George Stacy said with some dissatisfaction, "A man and a woman alone together, are you really comfortable with them just sitting in a room like that?"

"What are you thinking? If something were to happen between them, it would have happened long ago. Why wait until today?"

George Stacy fell silent immediately after Helen said that.

George only found out after he rescued Gwen last time.

After Gwen was kidnapped, she and the boy were given potent hallucinogenic drugs and then locked in a room.

In that situation, the kid was able to suppress his body's instincts and the effects of the hallucinogenic drug, jump out of the window to escape and call the police, and even set up a backup plan in the room.

Even George Stacy had to admit that this guy was a real man.

If it weren't for that, Helen wouldn't have specifically invited the other party over for dinner.

It's worth noting that after being rescued, Gwen spent more than six hours in the hospital to suppress the effects of the potent hallucinogen and regain her senses.

Erin, however, accomplished this entirely through her own will.

In fact, what George didn't know was...

When Erin transmigrated, the effects of the hallucinogen were largely neutralized, and the effects Erin endured were not as severe as he had imagined.

Otherwise, how could Erin, an ordinary person, have withstood the effects of that potent hallucinogen and escaped?

···········

Seeing that George had taken her words to heart, Helen smiled and said, "If you want that little guy to come out of Gwen's room sooner, help me prepare dinner quickly."

Mr. George tiptoed up to the second floor and stood outside Gwen's room for a while. After not hearing any strange noises coming from inside, he tiptoed back down to the first floor.

Helen rolled her eyes at the sight and urged, "Come and help us quickly."

"All right."

After glancing somewhat reluctantly at the second floor, George turned around, pushed open the kitchen door, and started working with Helen.

Although George wasn't very good at cooking, he was exceptionally efficient at helping Helen with the kitchen.

···········

A few minutes later.

Gwen, who was chatting with Erin, heard Helen calling from the restaurant: "Gwen, dinner's ready!"

Upon hearing this, Gwen said to Erin, "Let's go downstairs."

After Erin nodded, she followed Gwen down to the first floor.

In the restaurant.

Besides Helen and Gwen's three brothers, there was also a middle-aged white man with brown hair wearing a white shirt.

Although he looks a bit haggard now, you can still tell from his handsome face that George was a great man when he was young.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Gwen introduced George and Erin to each other: "Erin, this is my dad, George Stacy. Dad, this is Erin."

"Hello, Mr. George."

George nodded upon hearing this, then said to Erin, "Hello, Erin, thank you. Please have a seat. Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you for saving Gwen yet. Here's my business card. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can contact me."

As he spoke, George handed Erin a business card with his phone number printed on it.

Although he felt somewhat resentful about Erin's past with Gwen, George was genuinely grateful to Erin.

If Erin hadn't restrained her impulse that day, jumped out of the window to call the police, and used the cabinet to block the door, she would have been in trouble.

George simply couldn't imagine what fate awaited his precious daughter.

Erin smiled wryly and said, "I was just trying to save myself back then."

George said, "At least Gwen got saved, didn't she?"

"Alright, you two stop chatting and it's time to eat."

At this moment, Mrs. Helen interrupted their conversation and handed a plate to Erin: "Erin, here you go."

"Thank you, Madam."
