She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 847

By the time Melanie and the others reached the dessert table, Shawn was already gone.

Elina was the only one standing there.

She was still eating cake; the mango cheesecake was long gone, and now she was happily devouring a slice of chocolate cake.

"Elina, you're eating way too much!"

Bryant couldn't help but scold her.

Elina immediately hid behind Melanie, poking her head out just to stick her tongue out at Bryant.

Melanie gently rubbed Elina's head.

"Elina, if you eat too many sweets, you'll turn into a little balloon and lose that radiant smile. What would we do then?"

Elina seemed sufficiently frightened by the prospect and shook her head vehemently.

"No, no! I don't want to turn into a balloon! I want to be radiant and gorgeous like Auntie Melanie."

With that, she placed her half-eaten chocolate cake down, though her eyes lingered on it with deep reluctance.

Both Melanie and Bryant were thoroughly amused by her dramatic reaction.

Preston silently surveyed their surroundings.

Shawn was nowhere to be seen in the grand hall.

It seemed Shawn had left early.

Melanie was busy catching up with Bryant.

"Are you heading back to Averin after this?"

"I was just waiting for you to ask me that!"

Bryant offered a warm smile.

"Yes... I have a flight tomorrow."

"So soon?"

The moment Melanie asked, Bryant furrowed his brow.

"Are you saying you want me to leave, or do you want me to stay?"

"Of course I want you to come back! I'd welcome you back with open arms."

Although Melanie sounded utterly sincere and even threw her hands up in enthusiasm, Bryant still looked skeptical.
