She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354: That's the Day We Got Engaged

'What?'

Cheyenne was so startled by his words that the candied hawthorn in her hand accidentally fell to the ground.

The translucent sugar coating on the hawthorn shattered on the dusty surface, quickly attracting a swarm of black ants. Cheyenne felt a sense of regret; only four remained.

Sam chuckled and proactively handed his candied hawthorn to her, 'Miss Lawrence, feel free to have mine.'

He had only eaten one.

Past lessons had taught him: taste the good things, savor the flavor, but don't indulge.

She still had an unopened string of candied hawthorns in her hand, reserved for Benson. He was from Onistead, and having been in Akloit for three years without returning, he must have missed this nostalgic taste.

After a moment's hesitation, Cheyenne accepted the candied hawthorn he offered, smiling at him with a touch of self-mockery, 'I was supposed to treat you to candied hawthorns, but in the end... you paid, and I'm the one eating.'

'What does it matter? Watching you eat makes it sweet for me too.'

These slightly ambiguous and tender words slipped into Kelvin's ears and penetrated his heart, stirring waves of bitterness and anger.

He was very familiar with Sam, who was handsome, elegant, noble, carrying a gentle and melancholic prince-like aura. In this world, there were only a few women worthy of him.

Sam detested women to the point of fear. Many noble ladies pursued him, but none left with a smile.

Kelvin had thought that someone like Cheyenne would never attract Sam. However, images of Sam willingly giving money to her, personally escorting her home, and generously treating her when they met on the street involuntarily flashed through his mind. These behaviors were revolutionary changes for him.

Why?

Why did it have to be Sam! His close friend.

A sense of resentment, feeling betrayed by both a lover and a friend, surged in his heart. With a slight parting of his lips, he warned her in a tone mixed with threat, 'Cheyenne, don't accept! If you want to eat...'

I'll buy it for you!

However, the petite woman seemed to ignore his words, biting into the candied hawthorn with determination and provocatively glancing at Kelvin.

'This is none of your business! Are you jealous? What place are you in to be jealous? Master Sam bought it for me; he can give it to whomever he wants!'

'Do you want to eat? Go buy it yourself!'

These words left Kelvin speechless and infuriated. How could this idiot think he wanted to compete with her for candied hawthorns?

Sam, too, was surprised by his friend's 'overreacting' response. A hint of astonishment quickly flashed in his clear and gentle eyes as he spoke softly, 'Kelvin, I apologize. I didn't expect to run into you. The candied hawthorns at this shop are sold out today. I'll treat you next time.'

'Get lost!'

Who the hell cared about his candied hawthorns? He was angry about why he and Cheyenne were together!

His irritable and icy demeanor didn't anger Sam. He stood there gracefully, smiling with a hint of helplessness, sighing lightly.

'I forgot, Kelvin, you don't like sweets. But why are you holding... um, a cake?'

In Sam's memory, Kelvin didn't seem to enjoy desserts that only young girls liked.
