From Preston's words, Melanie could tell that he viewed the entire affair as a task, a job to be completed.
However, the fact that Preston's family specifically asked him to personally host the Bennetts seemed to indicate they were still trying to set him up with Elara.
Moreover, that day, even from a distance, Melanie had noticed Elara's behavior—
She was very attentive to Preston.
Although she projected the image of a well-bred, demure, and obedient young lady, her eyes would frequently drift towards Preston, her gaze lingering on his face, filled with the hope that he might respond in some way.
Preston was exceptionally handsome, came from a wealthy family, and had a good job. It was only natural for women to have a one-sided crush on him.
Melanie's shoulders slumped unconsciously.
"Feeling reassured now?"
"Mhm..."
After responding, Melanie suddenly realized Preston had set a trap for her.
"What do you mean, reassured? I wasn't worried in the first place..."
Melanie stubbornly denied it.
If she had to blame someone, it was Preston for confessing to her before.
If he hadn't confessed, she wouldn't have started paying attention to the women around him.
After cooking all the meat and packing it up, Melanie and Preston walked out of the barbecue restaurant together.
"Hasn't the driver you called arrived yet?" Preston asked.
In truth, Melanie hadn't even had a chance to call for one.
She had only said that because she didn't want Bryant to drive her home.
On one hand, she didn't want to reveal to others that she was now living in Rosevale Heights instead of Rosecrest Villas with Dominic.
On the other hand, she didn't want to get too close to Bryant.
After all, Bryant was Evelyn's senior from school.
And she was a married woman.
Although Bryant hadn't confessed his feelings to her like Preston had, it was a fact that he wanted to get to know her better.
Right now, Melanie's only goal was to personally send Dominic to hell.
