Chapter 326: The Kid’s Dad Doesn’t Deserve a Gift?
’So many?’ The key thing was, President Fairchild had handwritten the list right in front of him!
"President Fairchild, since when did you know so much about these things women use? You don’t just know the brands, you’re even crystal clear on the lipstick shades!"
"Since I started dating," Evan Fairchild replied with a straight face.
Tommy: ...’President Fairchild really is on another level!’
Time always seems to pass so slowly when you’re waiting.
Another hour passed. Evan Fairchild glanced at the time. ’Why hasn’t this woman called me yet?’
’Don’t tell me she failed to close the deal, is in a bad mood, and got whisked away by Rose Shaw, right?’
He immediately sent Melody Monroe a voice call request.
Melody Monroe was just walking out of the mall. Seeing Evan Fairchild’s request, she answered immediately.
"Are you done with your meeting?"
"I’m done. I came to a nearby mall to look around. Are we going back to Rockwellburg tomorrow?"
"If you want to go back tomorrow, we’ll go back tomorrow."
"That’s great! I bought some gifts for Ian." Evan Fairchild noticed that she seemed to be in a pretty good mood.
’She even went shopping to buy things for Ian Monroe.’
’Why didn’t she ask him to come shopping with her?’
"So you only bought things for Ian Monroe?" Evan Fairchild asked jealously.
’It’s not like he’d have gotten anything even if he asked.’
"Are you done with your work? I’m heading back to the hotel now."
"Where are you? I’ll come pick you up."
"No, it’s fine. I can get back on my own."
"I’m leaving now. Send me your location." Evan Fairchild’s tone left no room for argument.
Melody Monroe sent her location to Evan Fairchild and told Winter Kane to go back first. She waited for Evan by the roadside alone. ’No one recognized me while I was shopping today, so no one should recognize me now, right?’
What she didn’t know was that after she left, it suddenly dawned on the store clerk that she looked like someone famous.
It was only after she was long gone that the clerk was certain: she was Melody Monroe.
Because her clothes and style were just so simple! Just like any ordinary girl on the street.
In less than twenty minutes, Evan Fairchild’s car slowly approached.
Melody Monroe stood under a tree, wearing a white cartoon t-shirt, high-waisted jeans, and a pair of white sneakers. As Evan Fairchild looked at her, he felt the very air around him seem to freshen.
She was carrying a toy set in one hand and another box that looked like a gift box.
Evan Fairchild’s heart instantly soured!
’The child is the apple of her eye, but doesn’t the child’s father deserve a gift too?’
’Buying one is one thing, but two!’
As soon as Melody Monroe saw Evan Fairchild’s car, she quickly got in and sat in the passenger seat.
Evan Fairchild glanced at the gifts in her hands.
Melody Monroe felt a little awkward. She had originally planned to give it to him back at the hotel, but it seemed he had already seen it. So, she simply handed the gift box to Evan Fairchild.
"I... I was shopping today and picked out a gift for you. I don’t know if you’ll like it."
Evan Fairchild: ...
The sourness he’d just felt was instantly washed away by a giant wave of sweetness. He quickly took the gift box. "You bought a gift for me?"
"Mhm," Melody Monroe nodded.
Although he hadn’t said anything, her face was already burning red.
’This is the first time in my life I’ve ever given a gift to a man, and such an expensive one at that.’
’18,999... It hurts just to breathe!’
’But compared to the gifts Evan Fairchild has given me, this price is nothing special. I wonder if he’ll like it.’
Evan Fairchild quickly opened the gift box. What she had given him was a fountain pen.
He knew this brand of pen.
He used this model himself, but his were custom-made—over a thousand of them—and they weren’t fountain pens.
This single fountain pen should be worth almost 20,000.
