Chapter 796
Gavin asked Wesley to pick up some clothes and daily necessities for Britney today. Still, apparently, the man had bought men’s slippers too.
Gavin stared at those slippers, thinking, ‘Still a long way before I’ll move in here.‘
He walked over to the couch and crouched down, reaching to slip the slippers onto Britney’s feet.
Britney instinctively pulled back.
Gavin frowned. “They’re new.” The tags were still attached.
“Thanks, but I can do it myself.” Britney’s cheeks flushed pink. She thought, ‘We’re not close enough for him to be putting shoes on me, are we?
Gavin handed her the slippers instead.
Britney tore off the tags and slipped them on.
Standing beside the couch with one hand in his pocket, Gavin asked, “Have you eaten dinner?”
“No.” Britney shook her head.
“Good, I haven’t either. I’ll have Wesley pick something up. Tomorrow I’ll hire a housekeeper to take care of your meals and daily needs.”
Britney pressed her lips together. She couldn’t shake the feeling that Gavin was keeping her like some sort of mistress.
Her fingers twisted together as she looked at him. “I’ll find a place and move out as soon as I can.”
Gavin sat down beside her. “Why? This place is close to the hotel. It’s convenient, and the security is good. I feel better knowing you’re safe here.”
Britney bit her lip. “Then let me pay you rent.”
Gavin smiled slightly, “Fine. Go check out the room. See if you like the style. If not, we’ll change it.”
“No need to look,” Britney said. “It doesn’t matter anyway. I won’t be staying long.”
She was only here to avoid Soren. Given enough time, he’d get the thessage about how she felt. Then he’d stop bothering her, and she could move back
home.
Wesley came quickly with the takeout, setting everything on the brand–new dining table.
Gavin bought this place years ago, but today was his first time coming here.
As they ate, Gavin asked casually, “Did your ex give you trouble today?”
Britney looked up at him briefly but didn’t deny it.
Gavin said, “If he shows up again tomorrow, just kick him out.”
Britney stayed quiet. She thought Gavin didn’t understand how the service industry worked. They never, ever threw customers out.
After dinner, Gavin left. Britney felt all the tension drain from her body when he was gone. She looked around the luxurious house, and nothing felt real.
She thought, ‘Gavin is pretty domineering.’
Britney entered the master bedroom and immediately noticed the glass wardrobe filled with trendy dresses and outfits.
Curious, she walked over and casually pulled out a dress–surprised to find the tag still attached. They were all brand new.

Chapter 796
She wondered, ‘Had Gavin bought these for her?
She turned and spotted expensive skincare products lined up on the vanity table. This brand cost a fortune. She worked at a five star hotel where rooms went for thousands a night, but she was basically broke.
Britney pressed her lips together and went to grab her phone from the living room. She snapped photos of the closet and vanity, then texted Gavin: You bought all this?]
His reply came instantly. [Yeah. If you don’t like it, just toss it. I’ll have Wesley get you something else.]
Britney stared at her phone, speechless. A mix of emotions churned inside her as she clutched the device.
