She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 353

Carefully, Preston reached out and smoothed the frown on Melanie’s brow.

Melanie wasn't just tired; something was clearly troubling her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to the Eclipse Noir Club to get drunk in a downpour.

And she certainly wouldn't have started acting out after just a little alcohol.

“You know… you don’t have to carry everything by yourself…”

Gazing at Melanie’s sleeping face, Preston wished she could hear his words.

His deep eyes, filled with concern, softened and grew more intense.

The heat wasn’t on in the room, yet Preston inexplicably felt warm.

After a moment's hesitation, he helped Melanie change into her usual pajamas.

The cartoon pajamas were neither elegant nor sexy, yet they effortlessly tugged at Preston’s heartstrings.

Preston could hear his own heart pounding.

The black silk tie was pulled off, the sequined black shirt and low-rise leather pants were removed…

Waking up to find a naked Preston lying next to her in the same bed, Melanie thought she was dreaming.

“Morning,” Preston said, opening his eyes. They reflected Melanie’s face, which was rapidly filling with panic.

“You-you-you… I-I-I…” Melanie was tongue-tied.

What on earth had she done last night? And more importantly, what had Preston done to her?

Seeing Melanie so flustered for once, a glint of mischief flashed in Preston’s dark, deep eyes.

“What would you think if I said… we slept together last night?”

“I don’t think I could take responsibility for you!” Melanie replied with a look of helplessness.

Preston couldn’t help but laugh.

“Relax, nothing happened between us last night.”

“Then why are you sleeping here? And why are you completely naked?!” Melanie stared at Preston with wide eyes.

At least she was wearing her usual pajamas and was in her own room.
