Chapter 1255:
Skyla, visibly thrilled, took Harleeâs hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement. âOh my! You look breathtaking! I was concerned the unique elegance of your wedding dress might not fit, but itâs absolutely perfect.â
âThe fabric accentuates your figure beautifully, offering a blend of youthfulness and allure. Harlee, you could have been a fashion designer.â Even Belinda was astonished.
Everyone in the room was mesmerized by Harleeâs appearance in her wedding dress.
Harlee studied her image in the mirror.
Her curls, soft and flowing, were accentuated with unique beaded headpieces, enhancing the allure of the mermaid gown she had created herself, radiating a mystical elegance.
The gown featured fine silver embroidery and was adorned with diamonds that glittered like a multitude of stars across the sky. An elaborate bow at the back brought an added element of intrigue, setting a romantic mood.
This stunning wedding dress, combined with her flawless makeup, left her looking ethereally beautiful.
âShould I reconsider the style?â Harlee wondered aloud, unsure about her appearance in such a dramatic ensemble for the first time.
She looked to her friends, who were dazzled into speechlessness by her appearance, and chuckled. âI get your silent answer. Weâll stick with this ensemble and makeup.â
With that, the stylists came to their senses and started to fine-tune the dressâs details.
Skyla interjected, âIt seems wise for Harlee and Rhys not to see each other before the wedding. If Rhys caught a glimpse of Harlee now, heâd turn the world upside down just to be with her.â
Belinda tensed at Skylaâs words. She awkwardly hid her face, embarrassed by the memory of Skyla recounting how her son once threw rocks at the Sanderson family villaâs windows. Rhys, usually a composed CEO, changed entirely when he was around Harlee. His maturity slipped away, replaced by a more playful, childish side.
Truly, love had the power to alter oneâs demeanor.
On the night before the wedding, Skyla mischievously insisted on joining Harlee in her bed, slipping under the covers with her.
Caught off guard, Harlee did not object. While applying her night cream, she casually asked, âMom, what was in that large box they took downstairs earlier?â
The Sandersons had decorated everything with a celebratory flair, sparking Harleeâs curiosity about the various adornments.
âEighteen wedding cakes. Nyomi always says the cake is the most important part of a wedding, and the more cakes there are, the more blessings. So, I made sure they prepared eighteen,â Skyla said, her voice muffled as she poked her head out from under the covers.
As Harlee applied her skincare, her hand came to a sudden stop. She couldnât help but think that eighteen wedding cakes were undeniably extravagant.
Skyla appeared to suddenly become more open, pulling a red handwritten list from beneath the covers. It was packed with a variety of wedding gifts, all written in tiny, closely spaced handwriting. The list contained gold and silver jewelry, antique collections, property deeds, company shares, bank cards, and various other wedding essentials. It would take a good ten minutes to read the list from start to finish.
Harlee cleaned her hands with a wet tissue before climbing into bed. As soon as she settled in, Skyla latched onto her eagerly, unfolding a list for her to examine.
