The Ex and Her Riches

Bashfully, Whitney urged, “Open it, Mr. Newton.”

Inside the box was a bottle of JG cologne for men.

JG was a significantly luxurious brand of cologne as it was double, even triple, the prices of ordinary colognes in the market.

Holding the bottle of cologne, Charles examined it as realization dawned upon him. “Were you making money in Seduction Bar last night because you want to buy me this?”

Whitney nodded with a shy grin. “Yes.”

“There’s really no need for you to buy this, honestly. The price of a gift doesn’t matter much to me. Just buy what you can afford, and I’ll appreciate it, even if it’s just a single feather. Besides, it’s usually men who surprise women with presents.” He spoke softly, wearing a charming smile.

His handsome mug mesmerized her. Even if I were to die right now for dating someone as wonderful as Charles, I think it would’ve been worth it.

“Come on, let’s go. I’ll take you to breakfast.” Charles reached out for her hand and opened the door to the passenger seat for her.

Throughout the entire day, Charles continued to behave like a considerate gentleman, catering to her every need.

Whitney couldn’t help but think she was dreaming.

In the morning, they went shopping. Charles bought her a few pairs of high heels and clothes.

During the afternoon, they went to the theaters to watch the most recent blockbuster.

At night, he brought her to a fancy restaurant and shared a candlelight dinner with her.

Whitney was in such a good mood that she had a few too many drinks and ended up slumping on the table, intoxicated.

In response, Charles walked around the table and gently pinched her cheek. “Wake up. Are you drunk?”

Whitney’s cheeks flushed a rosy hue, for she was intoxicated to the extreme. Feeling the icy cool touch of his hand, she instinctively clasped his palm, interlocking their fingers tightly. “Charles, I like you. I truly do. Ever since I first saw you at Tayhaven, I… I’ve fallen for you. I’m willing to do anything for you, just as long as you… choose me…”

Mumbling softly, she spoke in a somewhat slurred and woozy manner.

However, Charles could still comprehend her words.

His handsome face was devoid of any expression whatsoever when no one was watching. Bending over, he carried Whitney out of the restaurant and into his car.

Instead of driving her back to her condominium, he took her to the Newton residence.
