She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 229

Melanie's mind was racing. When she got out of her car, she almost forgot the cheesecake.

She entered the passcode and opened the door to her apartment. As expected, Preston wasn't back.

Melanie placed the box of cheesecake on the coffee table and took out her phone to send Preston a message:

[I bought two pieces of cake. Are you coming back to have some?]

After sending it, Melanie felt there was something wrong with her question.

Even if Preston didn't come back tonight, she could put the cake in the fridge for him to eat tomorrow or the day after.

A while later, Melanie received Preston's reply:

[Sorry, I have something tonight and won't be back. Thanks for the cake.]

Even though he hadn't eaten it, Preston had thanked her. Melanie clutched her phone with both hands, unable to describe her feelings.

Was it a date?

Was it an engagement dinner?

Melanie typed these words into the message box and immediately deleted them.

She didn't seem to have the right to interfere in Preston's private life.

Preston had confessed his feelings to her.

But she hadn't accepted.

Besides, Preston had only confessed that one time.

People's feelings change constantly.

Some time had passed since his initial confession. Even if Preston turned around and went on dates, got engaged, or even married another woman, it was none of Melanie's business.

Even though she understood this rationally, Melanie still felt a little angry.

She couldn't pinpoint what she was angry about.

It definitely wasn't jealousy.

Preston wasn't the only person who had ever confessed his feelings to her. She wasn't some naive teenager who believed a single confession was an unbreakable promise of eternal love.

Look at Dominic—a perfect case in point.
