She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1167

A blast of cold air hit her neck, sending a shiver down her spine.

But the chill didn't last long.

Preston smoothly draped a brand-new scarf over her shoulders.

It wasn't the one she had arrived in.

This was a pristine, stylish women's scarf.

As for the one she had been wearing, Preston didn't say a word before tossing it directly into a nearby trash can.

Melanie's lips parted in shock.

Preston stood mere inches away, his expression as calm as ever, his gaze still melting with affection.

And yet...

Melanie could feel the subtle tension radiating from him.

He was furious.

He wouldn't direct that anger at her.

But he had no problem taking it out on the scarf she brought back.

That was why he hadn't asked a single question before discarding it.

She reached up to touch the new fabric around her neck. It was just as soft as Sebastian's.

In fact, the material felt even more luxurious.

The color perfectly complemented her winter coat.

"Feeling a little jealous?" she teased with a smile.

Preston didn't smile back. His gaze turned somber, as dark as the midnight sky.

"You knew I'd be jealous, yet you still accepted his scarf?"

"I..."

Melanie hesitated, unsure of what to say.

Honestly, Sebastian had moved so fast when he put it on her.

By the time she registered what was happening, it was already securely tied.

And it had been freezing outside; the extra layer had been a relief.
