She Left, She Thrived, She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 129

Tessa turned her head and stared sternly at Preston.

Melanie's heart skipped a beat.

She was pretending to be Preston's girlfriend today mainly to make his grandmother happy. If she ended up upsetting the old woman, wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose?

Thinking this, Melanie couldn't help but regret being so honest just now.

"Why did you never tell me how much Melanie has been through?"

Melanie was stunned.

"Melanie, dear, don't you worry. From now on, Grandma will have your back. If you're ever unhappy in that house, you just tell me, and I'll have Preston arrange the wedding right away."

Melanie was shocked.

Tessa, after speaking to Melanie, immediately turned to admonish Preston.

"Preston, don't blame me for being blunt, but if you dare treat Melanie poorly, I'll be the first one to come after you!"

"Don't worry, Grandma…" Preston was speaking to Tessa, but his dark eyes shifted to the corners, glancing at Melanie.

Melanie was completely lost. Why was this unfolding so differently from how she'd imagined?

Sensing Preston's gaze, she looked over at him.

And on Preston's usually cold, stony face, an unbelievable, faint smile appeared.

He was only glancing at her from the side, but his deep eyes seemed to hold entire galaxies, filled with a devotion that made it seem as if she were his one true love, sought after for years through great hardship.

"I will never let Melanie down."

"I will love her, protect her, stay with her, and take care of her... for the rest of my life."

His low, magnetic voice became even more captivating as he spoke words of love.

Although they had to put on a good show, Preston saying such cheesy things went far beyond Melanie's imagination. Especially in front of his grandmother. And while looking right at her.

Melanie's cheeks grew warm, and her heart began to beat faster.
