She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1108

He looked almost...

Pained.

"Oh my god, do you hate the styles I picked? It's totally fine, I can just throw them out and start over..."

Panicking, Daphne started ripping the incredibly expensive, brand-new suits off their hangers.

"Just tell me what cuts you like, and I'll go buy them."

"No, please don't..."

Snapping out of his spiraling thoughts, Everett reached out and grabbed her hands to stop her.

That was when he saw it—

Her eyes were brimming with unshed tears.

The realization hit him like a physical blow—

His brooding silence had completely shattered her confidence and broken her heart.

"I'm so sorry... I'm an idiot, I'm so sorry."

Everett pulled her forcefully into a desperate hug.

The expensive suits slipped from her fingers, pooling onto the floor in a heap of silk and wool.

Daphne let out a soft gasp but made no move to retrieve them.

No matter how much designer clothing cost, it couldn't compare to the raw, visceral comfort of him pulling her into his arms.

Crushed tightly against his chest, Daphne couldn't help but flutter her eyes shut.

His embrace was incredibly solid and radiating with heat.

A deeply content smile graced her lips.

All of her lingering anxiety melted away.

The sheer agony on his face moments ago had practically convinced her she had suffocated him with her overbearing behavior.

A thick, tranquil silence settled over the bedroom.

The atmosphere shifted into something incredibly intimate and sweet.

Everett held onto her, simply letting the seconds tick by.

He was painfully inexperienced when it came to romance, and he had no idea how to string together a poetic, silver-tongued apology.

Right now, offering his physical presence was the only way he knew how to give her a sense of absolute security.

The very air around them felt charged with undeniable romantic tension.

After what felt like an eternity, a sudden burst of heat brushed against Daphne's ear.
