Vera couldn't recall how she left Hanover Corporation and returned home. When she got hand sat down, she felt that everything that happened earlier that day was unreal.
It was possible that it was all just a dream.
Why else would Quill ask her if she liked the dress in such a gentle tone? He sounded like a boyfriend who was trying to pamper his girlfriend and spoil her rotten.
She lacked courage, and she was startled by his words. Hence, she didn't say anything but turned around and ran off instead.
After she ran out of Hanover Corporation, she realized that she still had the box in her hands.
She was overwhelmed. She carefully opened the box, and it was a pure white cocktail dress. She quickly ran into her bedroom with it and held up the dress to her in front of the mirror. Honestly, she thought the dress was exquisite.
She had worked in the fashion industry along with Minerva for a long time, and she was familiar with a lot of designers' work. Therefore, she could instantly tell that this dress was a work by one of Westovia's famous fashion designers. The designer specialized in female fashion and his designs had a strong style of his own. His designs were not designed to accommodate the general public, and he once said that he would only design for young women, but it was not because he was particularly interested in young women or against older women. The real reason behind it was that his fiancee had passed away when she was twenty-eight years old of cancer after 3-year fighting against cancer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was wearing one of his works when she passed away. The designer felt that his world was ended, and he thought that he would never design dresses anymore.
However, his beautiful fiancee said to him, "My dear, your work is the best in the world. I have no regrets about leaving this life wearing a beautiful dress designed by an amazing fashion designer. You shouldn' give up on your art because of me. You are a designer full of soul. Don't ever give that up." Later, the designer said that his fiancee loved his work. They were promised to each other when they were kids, and they grew up as each other's childhood sweethearts.
It was said that he had planned to have his fiancee wear a wedding dress he personally designed for her once she was at a legal age to get married, and he would marry her at her prime. When talking about her, the designer couldn't help but feel a lump form in his throat.
He said that his fiancee was a very kind and beautiful girl. Although it was an extremely painful battle with her cancer, she endured it with a smile on her face. Even on her deathbed, she still tried to protect his dreams and asked him to never give up on it. He felt sorry for her but he didn't want to disappoint her either.
When Vera found out about this the first time, she empathized with the designer greatly because his story happened more than forty years ago.
Now, he was an old man, but he had never married anyone.
He had never given up on his work and he had been designing dresses for young women. He kept his promise to his fiancee and he would continue to design until the end of his life.
Thinking about it, she felt sorry for the old man and she considered herself lucky compared to him.
At least she was still in the sworld with the person she liked.
It must be dreadful to not be.
Now that Quill had given her this dress, did it mean that she was special to him, just like what Ernest and Juliette said? Maybe all her efforts in the past were not wasted.
Perhaps, she could try again.
This time, she wanted to make it all the way into his heart.
During dinner, Mabie noticed that Vera would giggle subconsciously with her head held low from tto time. She held onto her plate of plain mashed potatoes and took a few bites without touching any of the dishes that Mabie took a long tto prepare.
Her eyes narrowed as she knocked on Vera's plate with her fork.
Vera cback to her senses and blinked innocently at her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Mom, what's wrong?" "Do you have anything against the dishes I made?" "Huh?" Vera looked confused and shook her head. "No, I don't. What's wrong?" "If you aren't against them, why are you not eating it at all?" Mabie pointed to the dishes in front of her and looked at her husband. "David, don't just focus on the food. Take a look at your daughter. See how much weight she lost. Now, she's only eating plain mashed potatoes, so can you be more concerned about her?" Puzzled, he said, "Since when am I not concerned about her? Aren't young girls these days obsessed with losing weight? I think that she's just trying to lose weight because she thinks she's too chubby." He was not interested in restricting Vera because she was an adult and she could make her own decisions. He used to put too much pressure on her, and it cost him five years to repair their relationship. Now, he just thought that anything was fine as long as she was happy.
However, in order to please his wife, he added, "Vivy, even if you want to lose weight and keep a good figure, you should pay attention to your health." After that, he picked a piece of meat and placed it on Vera's plate.
She didn't realize that she was not having any meat. She quickly swallowed the piece of meat that David put into her plate and said to Mabie.
"Mom, I have no objections about your cooking. It's delicious. I was just thinking about sthings. I'm sorry." "Is that so? Why don't you tell us what you were thinking about? Are you in a relationship, but you're not telling us?" Vera almost choked on her food, "Mom! I'm not!" "You're not? Then what have you been smiling about all night? You think I don't know what I see? Stop lying to me." "I'm really not in a relationship!" It was barely even a relationship. Vera wanted to share her joy, but she wasn't sure about the situation yet. "Mom, givestime. I'll let you two know for sure when everything is settled." In the end, she could only take a step back and ask for a reprieve.
Mabie's eyes lit up when she heard that.
"Oh? Does that mean you're seeing someone? Who is it? Do I know him? How is he? Is he handsome? What's his family background like? I'm telling you, you'd better not look for men that have a good-looking face but have a horrible personality or men who gamble or abuse their wives..." Vera felt that she should not have told them about it at all.
With Mabie's personality, she wouldn't stop bothering her with her questions.
"Mom, stop asking questions about ret
it. I'm not in a relationship right now because don't intend to be in a m relationship right now. However, there is a chance for it to happen, a I'm not against it either. I'm not saying that I'm seeing anyone right now." "What? So you mean that there's no one right now?" Vera nodded. In order to stop Mabie from pestering her, she simply put down the cutlery and said, "I'm full. You two enjoy your meal." After she left, Mabie sneered in her seat.
"How dare she lie to me? Does she think I've never been in love? If she's not seeing anyone, why would she be smiling like an idiot?" "That is your daughter. Could you be nicer?" David replied.
