Goddess Conquest System: Reboot of Desire

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Getting Closer

"Alright, I’ll pack it up right away. Miss, don’t be shy. It’s normal for young people to date. Look how good your boyfriend is to you. You two are a perfect match."

The sales assistant was a middle-aged woman who knew how to read people and talked a lot. But the more she spoke, the more satisfied Evan felt.

"No, really!~~ Evan!! This dress is too expensive! You already gave me $15,000. I can’t let you spend more!" Emma said, feeling both embarrassed and guilty.

As she gently pulled Evan, she unconsciously pressed his arm against her soft chest.

Evan’s body trembled. He felt a full, soft sensation against his arm.

He secretly glanced at Emma’s chest.

Even though Emma was younger than Sophia, her breasts were noticeably bigger.

Probably because of all the dancing and exercise, Emma’s tits were full, perky, and bouncy. Even through her clothes, they looked big and heavy, jiggling with every movement. It made Evan’s heart itch with desire.

"It’s fine. It’s just one dress. My books are doing pretty well now. I make several thousand a month, so it’s not a big deal," Evan said with a smile. He naturally reached out and patted Emma’s soft hand.

Although Evan wasn’t very experienced at chasing girls, he knew some basic techniques.

He had been looking for chances to have more physical contact with Emma.

This move was called "kino" in pickup artist terms — gradually increasing physical touch to make the other person get used to it, build intimacy, and lower their guard for more intimate contact later.

He had learned this from one of his favorite web novel authors.

"Evan, you’re doing that well already?! Then why didn’t you tell Dad yesterday? I felt so bad seeing you get scolded like that. If Dad knew you’re earning more than his yearly salary in just three months, I wonder what his face would look like. He’d probably be so embarrassed, haha..." Emma looked at him with surprise and a hint of admiration.

"I really envy you... You can chase your dreams and actually succeed... Sigh..."

"What’s there to say? Once my book gets published and adapted into TV shows or movies, and I buy a big house and luxury cars, everyone will understand. You too. I believe you’ll become a big star one day," Evan said with a calm smile.

In reality, yesterday when his father-in-law scolded him, he was broke as hell and couldn’t even get his new book signed. He was at rock bottom.

But now things were different.

"Sir, Miss, the dress is packed. It’s $680 total. Will you pay by card or cash?"

The sales assistant looked at Evan eagerly with a knowing smile.

Evan looked older than his age, while Emma clearly looked like an 18 or 19-year-old college girl. It was normal for people to assume he was a rich man spoiling his young girlfriend.

"Alipay is fine," Evan said. Right now, money in his bank account was all he had.

"$680 received via Alipay."

As the payment notification sounded, Evan took the bag and handed it to Emma. "Here, it’s yours now."

"Evan, you’re spending too much... Thank you... Let me buy you some clothes too!" Emma said, feeling a little guilty but also very happy. She happily linked arms with him again.

"Sure." Evan smiled and enjoyed the feeling of Emma holding his arm.

"Hey, Emma, there’s an LV store here. I need a new belt. Let’s go take a look," Evan said, pretending to be surprised. He naturally took Emma’s hand and walked toward the LV store.

"Ah?~~" Emma let out a soft surprised sound.

This was the first time a man other than her father had held her hand.

She instinctively wanted to pull away, but seeing how natural Evan was — just like a caring older brother — she only blushed and shyly accepted it.

Even though she had been dating with her boyfriend for over half a year, their relationship was very lukewarm. Because of her conservative nature, her boyfriend hadn’t even held her hand yet. But now, Evan had taken her first hand-holding.
