She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 754

Melanie was speechless.

She wasn't expecting him to praise her cooking, but he could at least look at her...

Grumbling internally, she thought that even if you ignored this man's face, his total lack of social grace would make it impossible for him to ever get a girlfriend.

Preston polished off the entire plate of Braised Beef Linguine like a hurricane, not leaving a single drop of sauce behind.

However...

He wasn't full.

But he had just eaten a stranger's food for free, and she had cooked it for him herself.

This was the first time in his life anyone had ever been this nice to him.

He knew he shouldn't be greedy.

Licking the savory flavor off his lips, he held back and didn't ask for another serving.

Just as he raised his eyes, ready to thank her, another steaming plate appeared right in front of him.

Preston's eyes widened.

Right in front of him was Melanie's smiling face.

Reflected in his eyes, she looked as breathtakingly beautiful as an angel.

"Don't worry, there's more in the pan. Enough to fill you up."

With that, she turned and walked away from the table.

Staring at her back, he lifted his head fully for the very first time.

His eyes locked onto her retreating figure, and he unconsciously reached out a hand, only to realize he couldn't reach her at all.

His fingers curled into a fist, one by one. He lowered his head again and focused on eating.

The food was just as delicious.

But now, his heart was filled with more than just the satisfaction of eating savory beef.

Without realizing it, he touched his left chest.

There was an emptiness in there...

An emptiness nothing seemed able to fill.

By the time he finished the second plate, leaving it completely spotless, he instinctively frowned.

Because he smelled something bitter.

Like some sort of herbal medicine.
