He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 238

"Like it? I'm completely obsessed. It's basically my perfect 'boyfriend' right now. Every time I finish a crazy day at work and sink into this driver's seat, it just wraps me up in this incredible sense of security. All my exhaustion just disappears."

At the word "boyfriend," the smile around Julian's eyes deepened.

"Seems like you picked a good one then."

"You know, choosing a car is a lot like choosing a partner. Some look incredibly flashy but are awful to handle. Others might be reliable, but they don't sync with your rhythm. Finding one that looks gorgeous, feels right, and fits your aesthetic perfectly? That's one in a million."

He turned his head, his gaze landing deeply on her, his tone shifting into a sincere blessing.

"Congratulations on leaving the old clunker behind and finding the right fit. I have a feeling the road ahead is going to be just as smooth as this drive—no more bumps along the way."

His beautifully layered compliment brought a bright, undeniable joy to Scarlett's face, and her smile grew even wider.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the mall.

Following the directory, they headed straight up to the third floor to the new Siam Orchid Thai Restaurant.

Ignoring Scarlett's protests, Julian went ahead and ordered every single signature dish on the menu.

When the magnificent spread of aromatic food arrived, Scarlett's appetite took over. Transforming into a total foodie, she dug in, thoroughly enjoying the meal.

After a great dinner, they headed over to the children's section.

It had been a while since Scarlett had bought anything new for Dawn. The moment they stepped into the high-end baby boutique, she was immediately drawn in by the tiny clothes, shoes, and baby gear, completely engrossed in picking things out.

Julian followed quietly behind her, his expression carefully neutral. He tried his best to act normal, but every time his eyes brushed past the little blue outfits, a sharp, quiet ache pierced his chest.
