Chapter 1011
However, for reasons she could not begin to fathom, Vickyâs entire body tensed, and she dared not
look Tyler in the eye.
Considering Tylerâs shrewd personality, he would definitely sense that something was wrong if she
asked to try on any wedding gown.
Although he had not harassed her during this period and seemed to have completely given up on her,
she could not predict if he would continue to make unreasonable demands of her once he found out
that she was not actually dating Elijah.
Just as Vicky was feeling uneasy and restless, Elijah spoke up, âItâs the âDreamy seriesâ wedding dress
that I ordered here last month.â
The staff immediately showed a look of recognition upon hearing this. âAh, so itâs that wedding dress.
Please follow me, both of you.â
Elijah nodded and said to Vicky, âLetâs go.â
As they moved out of Tylerâs line of sight, Vicky whispered to Elijah, âWhen did you order the wedding
dress? Why didnât I know about it?â
Elijah replied sheepishly, âI had it custom-made according to your measurements when I picked you up
from the hospital last time. Although we wonât actually have a wedding, we still need to put on a full
show. I said I was about to get married. If there wasnât even a wedding dress, how would my parents
and grandmother believe it? If they suddenly wanted to see you wearing a wedding dress someday and
we had nothing, wouldnât that expose our lie?â
Vicky relaxed slightly, and said, âYouâre really attentive.â
It was fortunate that Elijah was attentive. Otherwise, Tyler might have seen through their lies.
They walked a little further, and Elijah stopped in his tracks.â You go try on the wedding dress. Iâll wait
here.â
It would not be appropriate for him to enter the womenâs fitting room.
Vicky nodded in agreement.
Just as the attendant led her to the entrance of the fitting room, the door of the neighboring fitting room
was pushed open. The apologetic voice of the staff followed, âMiss Starling, Iâm sorry. There seems to
be a problem with the buttons on the back of the wedding dress. Iâll call the designer to come and make
the necessary adjustments for you.â
Aurora expressed her dissatisfaction, âEven a button is causing you problems? Iâm starting to doubt the
professionalism of this bridal shop.â
The staff apologized in a low voice and explained, âMiss Starling, the thing is, our wedding dresses are
designed strictly according to the customerâs body measurements. However, youâve lost a lot of weight
recently and have gone beyond the range we reserved for you. Thatâs why this unexpected situation
occurred.â
Most women enjoyed being told that they had lost weight except for the ones who were struggling with
health conditions.
The staff knew exactly what to say, and upon hearing her words, Auroraâs expression softened slightly.
âGo on, then.â
The staff noted and hurried away.
Just then, Aurora looked up and saw Vicky, who was trying on a wedding gown as well.
Aurora took the initiative to speak up, âIâm sorry for being prejudiced against you. I thought that you
havenât given up on Tyler. I didnât know thatâ¦â She paused for a moment before continuing, âI was
wrong.â
Even if Aurora did not talk to her, Vicky planned to speak with her as well. She was curious about the
accident the night before.
She took a step forward and asked, âMiss Starling, I need to speak with you, in private.â
Aurora glanced at the staff around her and said, âYou guys can leave now. We will ring the bell if youâre
needed.â
Once the staff left, Vicky cut right to the chase. âMiss Starling, were you not in Room 302 last night?â
âI was. You, on the other hand⦠Iâve been waiting for you, and you never showed up. Had Missus
Harrisons not said anything, I wouldâve thought that you didnât want to deliver clean clothes to me out of
resentment.â Aurora glanced at
Vickyâs swollen lips and smirked, then continued, âIt turns out that you were off with Mister Harrisons
and got too caught up with making an heir for the Harrisons. I guess Iâve misunderstood.â
