As Nina's eyes fell upon the beautiful wedding gowns and dinner dresses before her, her gaze brightened with excitement.
Micheal, the world-renowned wedding dress designer, had crafted each one to be uniquely stunning. The pieces in front of her
were so captivating that she could not shift her gaze away.
"These are truly amazing," Luca exclaimed in awe as she looked at the dresses and gowns shimmering in the soft light.
Yancie noticed that Luca was wearing the latest season's Chanel dress under her coat after she took her coat off. Those who
could afford to buy such dresses were usually wealthy. Then, she noticed that Luca was not wearing any jewelry. Therefore, she
assumed that Luca was not married yet. Hence, she said, "Miss, feel free to look for us if you decide to get married in the future.
Our company collaborates with Micheal. He specializes in wedding dress designs."
Luca smiled and remained silent.
She married the man she loved in the most beautiful wedding dress.
She would never marry another man again no matter what. Thus, she would not be wearing a wedding dress again.
As Nina noticed Luca's silence, she thought about her relationship with Luke. She changed the topic of the conversation.
"They're stunning. Can I try them on?" asked Nina.
"Of course, Mrs. Mallory. Which one would you like to try first?" Yancie redirected her focus to Nina.
Nina did not have a specific one in mind since all the dresses were designed for her. "Let's start from left to right, please."
"Sure. No problem. Shall we start with a basic makeup look for you?" Yancie asked for her opinion. She was aware that trying on
wedding dresses with makeup would have better results.
"Okay." Nina sat down on the chair when the assistant pulled out a chair for her. Then, Yancie called out for the makeup artist to
come in and do Nina's makeup.
Luca sat on the sofa. She took her phone out to go through some documents, occasionally glancing up to look at Nina.
An hour later, Nina's makeup was done.
"Mrs. Mallory, is there anything you'd like to change?" the makeup artist asked in a low voice.
Nina looked at herself in the mirror. She had on bridal makeup and hairstyle, so there was nothing more to change for now.
She turned to Luca and asked, "Luca, what do you think?"
Luca put her phone aside and walked toward her. She examined her for a moment and nodded, "You're the most beautiful bride."
Nina's face reddened when she heard the compliment. Then, she replied, "No way. That's too much!"
Yancie, who stood beside them, chimed in, "Mrs. Mallory, she's right. Why don't you try on the wedding dresses now?"
"Okay." Nina nodded. After watching the assistant pick up the first dress on the left, she walked into the fitting room with the
assistant.
Wedding dresses were complicated, and it took some time for Nina to put the dress on. Ten minutes later, the curtains of the
fitting room were finally drawn.
Luca looked at Nina, who was now in the wedding dress. She nodded with a smile on her face. "Let me take a few photos for
you. I can send them to Mr. Mallory."
Nina waved her hand, "It's okay. He can see it for himself. You don't have to take photos."
After that, she walked toward the full-length mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.
The wedding dress designed by Micheal was beautiful, and it fit her perfectly. Nina murmured to herself, "It's beautiful, but I can't
afford to gain weight before the wedding."
Luca smiled at her and said, "That won't happen. Even though it's a tailored-made wedding dress, the designer will leave some
fabric around the waist for stretching. After all, it's unlikely that your body shape isn't going to change in a few months."
"Yes. What she said is right," added Yancie.
"This one looks amazing. Why don't we try the second one?" Nina turned her head and looked at the second dress.
"Okay. Let us help you to take it off. The second wedding dress requires a different makeup look. Would you like to do your
makeup first or get changed first?" asked Yancie.
"I'll change back into my clothes first. We'll do the makeup after that,” replied Nina. It was a tight fitting wedding dress. It fit so
close to the body to the extent that Nina was losing her breath. She wanted to put on something more comfortable.
"Okay. Let's take off this wedding dress first." Yancie and her assistant helped Nina up. They lifted the hem of the dress and
walked into the changing room. Then, they drew the curtains.
Four hours later, Nina finally tried on the last dress. She decided to wear the second wedding dress on the wedding day, while
the other dresses and dinner dresses were for her to put on during her wedding photoshoot and her wedding dinner.
Nina heaved a sigh of relief after everything had been arranged. She grabbed Luca's arm, and they left the wedding studio arm-
in-arm.
"Luca, thanks for keeping me company. Let me treat you to a meal." Nina smiled while holding her arm as they headed toward
the parking lot.
"It's not a big deal. Besides, you're the one who's busy and tired,” replied Luca with a smile on her face.
Although there were people helping Nina, the wedding dresses were heavy, and she had changed into several sets of dresses
and donned multiple makeup looks. Anyone would feel exhausted after doing that.
"It was okay. You gave me a lot of references and advice. They helped a lot. I was able to make a decision even though I was in
a dilemma thanks to you! I remember there's a new French restaurant nearby. Shall we try the food there?" Nina smiled and
said. All of the advice given by Luca was based on her preferences.
It was as though they had known each other for many years.
"Sure." Luca nodded.
"It's just around the corner. Let's just walk there,” suggested Nina. She opened her phone's navigation app and headed toward
the restaurant.
"Okay." Luca nodded and walked toward the restaurant with Nina.
After dinner, Nina sent Luca back to the villa. It was already 9 pm when they arrived.
Luca entered the living room and found Luke sitting on the sofa reading a document. There was a stack of documents on the
coffee table.
"You're home." Luke put down the document and stood up to greet her.
Luca took off the coat and hung it up. Then, she nodded and replied, "Yeah. Have the kids all gone to bed?"
"They're probably in bed." Luke walked toward her and held her in his arms.
"Probably?" Luca glanced toward the stairs. Although the kids did not have to go to school the next day, they had to go to bed on
time. She wanted to check on them, but Luke held her tight in his arms.
"They'll rest on time." Luke could see that Luca was worried. He lowered his head and gave her a gentle peck on the lips.
"Alright then." Luca leaned her head against his chest.
"The police have taken Margaret to the police station," added Luke. He called the police after Louis' party had ended.
"Huh?" Luca sounded confused.
"It's Mrs. Jackman," explained Luke. Jason was the one who found out her name was Margaret Sutton.
They also discovered that Margaret's husband, Lonnie Jackman, had been constantly trying to contact T Corporation. He was
hoping to get them to take on a project.
However, the company had too many projects going on at the moment. That was why they did not take Lonnie's project.
