Obedience No More He's the One I Deserved novel Chapter 247

That kind of praise was definitely a huge affirmation for Dawn.

After signing the contract, Dawn and Linda walked Roxanne downstairs.

"I'm a little hungry ... "

Roxanne suddenly turned to her. "Dawn, are you done with work? Can you go grab a bite with me?"

Linda and Dawn exchanged a glance, and Linda said, "Go ahead. If anything comes up, I'll have Janice call you."

The contract had just been finalized, so there was no way they could turn down a client's request at this point.

Dawn understood that and said, "Alright."

Roxanne sent the rest of her company's staff away and got into Dawn's car.

"Wow, your car is a limited edition. I only know one friend who managed to get one. I can't believe you're driving it ... Your husband must treat you really well!"

Dawn just took it as Roxanne being interested in cars and smiled. "Yeah, my husband is great."

Something flickered in Roxanne's eyes. "Can I try driving it on the way back?"

"Sure."

When they got to the mall, Dawn drove into the underground parking lot.

Roxanne didn't know what to eat and asked Dawn for a recommendation, so the two of them ended up at a restaurant that served authentic Wornellstonian food.

"I want to do a little shopping, too. Dawn, you're not in a hurry to go home, are you?"

She had actually planned to go home early, but with Roxanne saying that, she could only set that thought aside.

Since they'd come out together, it wouldn't be right for her to leave first.

She could only agree to Roxanne's request.

At the mall, Roxanne fully embraced her love of shopping. Anything she liked, she never asked the price—she just gave the clerk her address and had them deliver it.

They went into a menswear store, and Roxanne browsed very seriously.

Dawn was a little bored and started scrolling through her phone.

"Dawn."

Roxanne suddenly appeared in front of her, holding up a suit with a bright smile. "What do you think of this one? Does it look cool?"

It was a deep gray suit with a hint of blue, likely a custom color for the brand.

Dawn replied sincerely, "It's really unique."

"Exactly, it has to be unique."

Roxanne looked at the suit, clearly picturing someone in it. "He's always different from everyone else. Only he could pull off this kind of color."

The sales assistant seized the chance to chime in, "Miss, are you buying this for your boyfriend? If so, you'd better hurry. This fabric is a limited edition and is almost sold out."

"But I don't want this one. Get your best designer to make a custom piece for me."

Roxanne hung the suit back up, leaving a set of measurements.

She then looped her arm through Dawn's and sighed. "He's not really a fan of things bought by other people. I hope he'll like it."

Dawn said, "You put so much thought into it. He'll notice for sure."

"And then?"

His gentle words made Dawn laugh.

Her neck was practically bent at a right angle as she looked up at him. She gazed at him for a long moment and said, "That's it. I just wanted to see you."

Ethan's eyes softened.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed.

Even with one upstairs and the other downstairs, their gaze seemed to draw an invisible thread between them.

That was enough.

Just as Dawn was about to move, she heard his low, magnetic voice coming through the phone. "Don't move."

"I'm coming down to get you."

Before she could say anything, he was already gone from the window.

In less than half a minute, the door downstairs opened.

Ethan strode out, put his phone away, and swept Dawn up in his arms without missing a beat.

Dawn instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling all the way.

"Why did you come down to get me? It's just a few steps."

Ethan lowered his head, his dark eyes locking on hers. "Yeah, it's just a few steps. But I missed you. I couldn't wait."

Dawn didn't know how other women would react to words like that, but for her, it was impossible to resist.
