She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 916

Learning that Myles was from Yarnwick City, Giselle was pleasantly surprised. "That's a crazy coincidence. I'm actually flying to Yarnwick City tomorrow for a business trip."

Myles looked equally surprised. "Really? I've been invited to give a guest lecture at the university campus over there tomorrow. Are you flying out?"

Giselle nodded. "Yes, the 7:00 AM flight."

Myles exchanged contact details with her, offering a warm smile. "Then please let me show you the local sights while we're there."

"I'd love that," she smiled.

"Sir! Please don't destroy the café's reading materials!" a waiter scolded loudly.

The commotion caught Giselle's attention. She turned her head, met those furious, glaring eyes, and her smile instantly vanished.

Myles noticed her shift in mood and looked back. "Is everything okay?"

"It's fine," Giselle deflected. They chatted for a little while longer before Myles's phone buzzed. Another emergency at the hospital—he couldn't stay for dinner.

Giselle assured him it was fine, and he paid the bill before rushing off.

The second he was gone, Giselle stood up, marched straight over to Hank's table, and glared at him. "Are you stalking me?"

Hank quickly adjusted his expression. "I just happened to be grabbing a coffee. Is it a crime that I bumped into you on your date?"

"Men like you don't drink coffee in places like this," she shot back.

"What kind of man am I? And why can't I drink here?" Hank stared her down. "If you can sit here and drink with other men, why can't I get a cup of coffee?"

Giselle didn't have the energy to argue. She pressed her lips together. "I'm going to stop these dates. I'm not going to drag innocent people into this mess."

"Who said I'm going to hound you for the rest of your life?"

Hank's face hardened as he stood up. "Why wouldn't I be able to let you go? You think I have to be in love with you forever?"

Giselle was taken aback.

"I won't interfere in your life," he continued coldly. "Whoever you date, whoever you end up with, that's your business. I won't get in your way. If that's the happiness you want, go get it."

With that, he turned on his heel and walked out of the café.

She genuinely hadn't expected to hear him say that. Was it really just a coincidence?

Shaking off her confusion, she left the café shortly after.
