Chapter 72: Chapter 72: It’s Called "Mutual Affection
The tip of her nose felt sour, and Evelyn paced back and forth under the big tree, gradually letting her thoughts wander.
She had read in a novel that when a man asks a woman to accompany him to pick out a gift, it’s actually for her, to give her a sudden surprise when she’s feeling down.
Could it be... Logan is doing the same?
Otherwise, why would he ask her, someone he just met, to accompany him to choose a gift?
With that thought, Evelyn’s cheeks flushed, and her heart began to anticipate.
Just then, Logan drove up and waved at her, "Evelyn! Get in the car!"
She snapped back to reality and immediately ran over.
Logan acted like a gentleman, getting out of the car to open the door for her. Once they were both seated, he handed her a wet wipe.
"Wipe the sweat off first. I’m sorry to have you accompany me to buy a gift and to keep you waiting so long," he apologized.
"No worries." Taking the wet wipe, Evelyn beamed. "I don’t mind the heat, and besides, I’ve got two hours before class. I was just wondering where to go!"
Logan chuckled lightly and took out a box of chocolates from the back seat, speaking gently, "This is a thank-you gift."
"Wow—" Evelyn’s eyes widened, and she couldn’t help but murmur, "Cece loves chocolate! If she knew you were giving me chocolates, she’d be so jealous!"
Logan raised an eyebrow, "What?"
"N-nothing!" Evelyn quickly covered her mouth, then flashed Logan a sweet smile, asking, "Is there something you want to buy?"
"A bracelet." As he spoke, Logan’s eyes were filled with a gentle warmth, "Help me pick out a style."
Evelyn nodded, still wondering if Logan was buying it for her.
After hesitating for a bit, she tentatively asked, "Is it for... a close female friend, or, a girlfriend?"
Logan lightly pressed his thin lips together, offering a meaningful smile, and drove forward without responding.
Sitting in the passenger seat, holding the chocolate, Evelyn decided to share the gossip with Cecilia.
Several possibilities ran through her mind, but her mood was undoubtedly happy.
Maybe she was just naturally optimistic, already assuming that Logan was buying a gift for her.
Didn’t he say he just returned from abroad?
And he mentioned he was buying a birthday gift.
It must be a late birthday gift for her to make up for it!
With that thought, Evelyn was eager and followed Logan to the largest mall in Atheria, her eyes shining even brighter under the lights.
As she looked at one counter after another, Evelyn was practically paralyzed by choice.
The jewelry was just so beautiful, so beautiful!
Judging by Logan’s attire, his family background must also be quite good.
Silently cheering herself on, she vowed to work twice as hard to become an outstanding, sparkling woman worthy of such a big brother!
A glance caught her eye, and when she saw a bracelet, all of Evelyn’s attention was drawn to it.
The bracelet was simple in design, yet its radiance was not diminished.
Two thin chains intertwined, looking casual and carefree, yet inseparably close, adorned with small diamonds and platinum beads, as if gathering the spirit of heaven and earth, stunning and eye-catching.
"This is our store’s newest model, called ’In Love.’ Our jewelry is never duplicated, with only one of each design. Miss, would you like to try it on?" the salesperson introduced enthusiastically.
Evelyn couldn’t help but look at Logan, waiting for him to speak.
