Wesley lowered his eyes, all his emotions settling into calm.
“Alright.”
He let go and really turned to leave without hesitation.
Cecilia stood there in a daze for a while, then instructed the servants to put the wedding dress away.
She was still thinking about Corrine and called to ask if she had gotten home.
Corrine’s eyes were red and swollen, clearly from crying.
She forced a smile. “I’m home already.”
Cecilia asked about her rtionship with Johan. “Do you like him?”
Corrine was silent for a long time before slowly saying, “It’s over between us. Besides, our rtionship is so bad that it’s beyond forgiveness.”
Cecilia knew she was referring to the death of Johan’s parents.
She didn’t know how to ask further.
Corrine wiped away a tear and said softly, “I’m leaving tomorrow, Ci. Will you see me off?”
Cecilia was surprised, but also felt it was only natural.
Leaving sooner was for the best.

“Alright, I’ll see you off tomorrow.”
“Sorry, Ci, for leaving you here alone.”
Cecilia joked, “It’s fine, Ms. Morton. I’lle to join you someday.”
The two of them exchanged smiles, and for a moment, all their sadness was forgotten.
Corrine brought up the wedding dress. “Larissa wanted to give me trouble, but she didn’t expect you to put her in her ce.”
Thinking back to that scene, she felt a sense of satisfaction.
Cecilia curled her lips. “She had iting.”
Serves her right.
Corrine thought of the wedding dress and said with deep regret, “That was a Kristen Lagerfeld design–a perfect piece.”
Kristen Lagerfeld was her idol.
She had studied design because she wanted to be a student of that internationally renowned master, but unfortunately, due to some special circumstances, she had to start working right after graduating from college.
The distance between her and her idol had be insurmountable.
Cecilia thought of the wedding dress in the living room. She had told the servants to put it away, but the train was so long that they couldn’t find a ce for it.
At that moment, the wedding dress was still in the living room.
She suggested, “The wedding dress is here at the vi. You have one

night to study its design.”
After all, the dress was just sitting there. Letting Corrine study it would at least give it some value.
All of Corrine’s bad mood vanished.
She jumped up from the sofa in excitement. “Wait for me, I’ll pack my things ande over.”
Corrine arrived quickly. When she saw the wedding dress, she hardly dared to breathe, afraid of desecrating its beauty.
She spun around it, clicking her tongue–in admiration. “Mr. Carlton really went all out.”
Just the design alone was worth a fortune.
Cecilia sat on the sofa and smiled at her words. “He did it for his
child.”
How much he truly cared for her, she could not see.
Corrine snapped photos with her phone while saying, “If it weren’t for Larissa’s interference, Wesley would have made a great husband.”
You could tell from the way he arranged things for Cecilia–he was a good man.
But that goodness only existed in a world without Larissa.
As long as Larissa appeared, everything would revert to its original
state.
Wesley was Larissa’s knight.
Cecilia said coolly, “Don’t mention him.”

Her good mood was ruined.
Corrine quickly said, “Alright, I won’t”
She focused on studying the design of the wedding dress.
Meanwhile, in the western restaurant
Wesley was watching the surveince footage on his phone.
Naturally, he heard their conversation.
His heart was filled with a sour, bitter feeling that was hard to describe
“Mr. Carlton, Ms. Wilburn is here,” Elijah reminded him
Wesley put down his phone and looked up at Larissa, who was walking over slowly
She wore a white dress, as delicate and fragile as ever
Wesley was momentarily lost in thought, thinking of Cecilia–she would never have such a fragile side.
“Wes,” Larissa called him.
Wesley snapped back to reality and handed her the menu. “What would you like to eat?”
Larissa shook her head, she had no appetite.
What had happened at the bridal shop was like a thorn, deeply embedded in her heart
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt

her there alone.
She was desperate forfort from Wesley.
“Wes, you’re the only one who’s truly good to me.”
She choked up a little and looked at Wesley.
But all she met was Wesley’s cold gaze.
“Wes, I…”
“Why did you go looking for trouble with Corrine?” Wesley put down the menu, his voice icy.
Larissa’s heart skipped a beat, and her choked voice faded away.
“I didn’t. I really didn’t know the designer was Corrine.”
