The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 1827

“I drew it in a rush, so it looks rough. It could be better.” Carrie felt embarrassed, thinking that using such a crude thing as a return gift might not be adequate.

“No, it’s good. It’s really good.”

Ralph struggled to control himself, but he was so overjoyed that his voice trembled. He said hoarsely, “Thank you, Carrie... I love it. Oh, right!”

He leaned back into the car and took a bag of candied apples he bought, handing it to Carrie. He tried to act casual, but his ears were unmistakably red. “On my way here, I saw a stall selling candied apples and bought some because I was hungry. I haven’t touched it yet. Take it.”

Bella narrowed her eyes knowingly.

Her seventh brother was a top-tier foodie. If he was hungry, how could the candied apples have lasted the journey? He would have devoured it immediately, leaving nothing but the wrapper.

Ralph obviously bought it for Carrie but was embarrassed to take it out until now.

“Candied apples?” Carrie’s dim eyes glimmered with a new light.

Nobody would believe that, as the daughter of a wealthy household, Carrie had never tried this common street candy.

Due to her illness, she was confined at home by Gregory and Shannon since she was a child, and a driver would send her to school. She rarely had a chance to hang out with friends like an ordinary girl.

Besides, Gregory always looked down on such “commoner” food, so she had only seen candied apples and never tried them.

Ralph unwrapped the package and handed a stick of candied apple to Carrie. “Do you want to try it?”

Carrie was shy at first, but the attraction of candied apples was too strong. She could not resist sticking out her tongue like a kitten, licking the bright red fruit. “Mmm… It’s sweet!”

Ralph was amused. A genuine smile spread across his face, and the girl’s innocent expression melted his heart.

‘Then I’ll buy it for you frequently, okay?’ Ralph thought to himself. These words were a confession that lingered in Ralph’s mind.

……

At night, the couple bathed together. Bella sat in front of a mirror, wrapped only in a towel, as Justin blew out her thick, dark hair.

Her hair was thick and took a long time to dry, but he always had enough patience to blow her hair slowly, and then carefully comb through it.
