She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1019

Daphne turned her head, meeting Everett's gaze.

She could swear she saw a flicker of anticipation in his eyes.

Could it be... Everett wanted to see her in the coat?

Her heart began to flutter with nerves.

Earlier, when she was browsing the more affordable stores, she had tried on a few dresses, but Everett had looked completely disinterested.

She had assumed he just didn't care about seeing her try on clothes!

"Do you want to see me in it?"

Daphne asked, her eyes lighting up.

"Yeah."

Everett nodded.

"Then... I guess I'll try it on..."

Daphne smiled shyly and slipped into the nearly ten-thousand-dollar coat.

The design was clean and sharp, tailored beautifully to hug her figure.

Daphne had never worn a camel hair coat like this in her life.

Staring at her reflection in the full-length mirror, she suddenly felt a bit unfamiliar to herself.

"How does it look?"

She had directed the question at Everett.

But the sales associate beat him to the punch with a practiced, glowing compliment.

"It looks absolutely stunning on you, miss. The cut of this coat is exceptional, and with your gorgeous figure, it really highlights all your best features."

Daphne knew perfectly well the associate was just buttering her up to make a sale.

"Everett, what do you think?"

Everett looked her up and down, then nodded.

"It looks great."

"Then I'll get this wrapped up for you!"

Hearing the associate sound so eager, Daphne's expression instantly shifted into panic.

"Ah, no... I wasn't planning on buying it..."

The associate's bright smile instantly deflated as Daphne waved her hands in refusal.

"Wrap it up."

Everett's calm voice suddenly cut through the quiet store.

It made her feel truly cherished by him.

In the past, Daphne could never have imagined a day where a store clerk would look at her with such envy.

Everett went over to pay and soon returned to her side, carrying the beautifully packaged coat.

"Everett, thank you so much. You really didn't have to buy something this expensive for me."

"Don't be silly. It's what I should be doing."

His words sent a thrill straight to Daphne's heart.

So... Everett really did understand his role as her boyfriend.

Daphne smiled to herself, her chest practically glowing with warmth.

Walking beside her, Everett caught sight of her radiant smile and quietly let out a breath of relief.

As her boyfriend, he hadn't even realized he was supposed to take the initiative and buy her things while shopping.

That had been his failure.

In the end, Daphne had been the one to buy him clothes first.

Everett felt that, even if it was just returning the favor, he couldn't walk away without getting her something.

That was why he had steered them back to the women's floor.
