She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1116

Daphne wasn't the least bit materialistic, and Everett knew that better than anyone.

Since they started dating, he couldn't recall a single time she had ever asked him for an expensive gift.

If anything, she was always buying things for him.

And it was precisely because she treated him so incredibly well that he felt an intense pressure to be better, to do more, or else he would be failing her.

And that...

That was exhausting.

"Everett, what's on your mind? Why do you look so serious?"

Melanie waved a hand in front of his face.

He violently snapped back to reality.

"It's nothing. It's just... Daphne mentioned her uncle is visiting town for the next couple of days. He has some free time between meetings and wants to do some sightseeing and grab dinner. So she asked me how we should plan the itinerary."

"Daphne's uncle, huh..."

Melanie dragged out the syllables with a knowing look in her eye.

If she remembered correctly, Daphne's uncle was her closest living relative.

If she was going out of her way to introduce him to Everett...

Her eyes sparkling with amusement, Melanie slapped his shoulder, nearly making him jump out of his chair.

"Everett, Daphne's parents passed away a long time ago. Her uncle is basically her father figure. You need to take this seriously. Plan a flawless itinerary, understand?"

Feeling like he had just been handed a critical corporate assignment, he blinked and nodded rapidly.

He ended up working late that night.

Not on company projects, but spending hours researching the best tourist attractions and top-rated restaurants to impress her uncle.

He originally had a minor meeting scheduled for Saturday.

But to ensure his weekend was totally free, Melanie reassigned the meeting to someone else.

Thanks to her, he had plenty of time to accompany Daphne to the airport on Saturday.
