Chapter 505: The Alluring of Wedding Dresses
Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife
Susan thought about it all night that when she woke up, there were obvious dark circles under her
eyes. She thought of various possibilities and Alan Hoyle was the biggest among them.
She never dared to look down on the man. He was too smart, as if he could understand everything.
She didn't dare to look directly at this man. His sharp and cold eyes terrified her. But, in order not to
make him suspicious, she had to look him in the eyes while they were talking.
It was too difficult to grasp on this manâs mind. He could bear what ordinary people couldn't. He
could put his enemy down easily without expression.
She wouldn't dare to be careless.
At the dining table, Lory realized her bad complexion and asked with concern, âWhat's wrong,
Susan? Did you not sleep well last night?â
Susan realized that her restlessness wasn't well hidden. Fortunately, only Lory had asked. She put on
a smile and looked for an explanation, âI suddenly feel that I have a heavy burden. Father grandly
introduced me. I'm afraid I'll disappoint father if I donât do a good job.â
âThere's no way.â Norton walked slowly down the stairs with a cane. Susan got up to his way and
supported him.
âFather, be careful.â
Norton patted her hand, âFather believes in you and you have to believe in your own abilities. I can
see that you're smart. Besides, there's Olive to assist you. And Olive has Alan. What are you afraid
of?"
Susan secretly thought that she was indeed a cunning person, but she still obediently pulled out the
chair and helped him sit down, âSlowly.â
The servant brought breakfast to Norton. Perhaps his daughter's return had kept the old man in a
good mood that he was no longer picky with his food and ate all of it.
Lory said, âYou slept late last night, why donât you rest more?â
âI'm old and my mental clock is fixed. I can't fall asleep at this time even if I want to,â Norton said to
his wife.
Lory said, âIt's the root from you worrying too much.â
Norton laughed and said, âI'm fine now. Our capable daughter is back to help me. I can completely
retire now. Susan, be a little braver, don't be afraid. You've stayed in the United States for so many
years, you must have learned a lot of advanced things that aren't available in China. Bring in those
advanced concepts and management models. Discuss them with Olive to find one that is most
suitable with Angel Hotel. Father believes in you like I believe in Olive. You're both are smart women,
no less than men.â
âFather, you can be an inspirational trainer. I'm so embarrassed now,â Susan pretended to be shy.
Norton said, âWhat's there to be embarrassed? But then again, Susan, you're not young anymore.
Shouldn't you also consider your future now? Those young talented men I introduced you to, none
of them caught your eyes?â
Susan groaned, âFather, what are you talking about? I just got back and you want to kick me out so
soon?â
"Kicking you out? I'm eager to tie you up now. Find a son-in-law for me to join the family.â Norton
was speaking the truth. His daughter just got back, there was no way he let her marry out so soon.
âWhen you go back to the US this time, I donât mind you bring back a towhead foreigner boyfriend.
Father knows that you're used to foreign lifestyle and way of thinking. Maybe Chinese men donât
catch your eyes.â
âFather, you're talking nonsense. It's still early, let's not talk about this topic.â Susan wanted to
change the topic, but she had an idea in her head. Perhaps, she could find someone as her suitable
boyfriend to help herself.
"What do you mean âearlyâ? Look at Olive, she has a five-year-old child already. I still want to get to
see a grandchild while I'm still alive.â
"Father, you have to believe that as long as you maintain your current optimistic and open-minded
behavior, you'll live a long life. Didn't you say that you still want to take mother to travel around the
world?â
âYou're a smooth talker.â Although Norton said so, he was already happy. âOkay, okay. I won't push
you, so you won't say I'm kicking you out. But, you have to agree not to be secretive. Even if he's
ugly, he still has to meet in-laws. No matter which country heâs from, black, white, or yellow, we
have no objection. We'll support you to pursue him boldly.â
Because of their own experiences, the Geve understood the pain of parents interfering in love. They
were enlightened because they didnât want their past to repeat itself in their daughter.
Their child's happiness was the most important thing. No matter the man was rich or poor, as long
as he treated her well as if she was a treasure and she liked him, they would like him too.
When Susan went to the US, the Geve insisted on sending her to the plane. At the airport, she was
nagged repeatedly for they were afraid that she wouldn't come back this time. She said that she
would definitely come back earlier. Only under the urging of the airport broadcast that they finally
let her go.
When the plane took off, someone in the corner reported to Alan, âMr. Hoyle, Susan is already on
the flight to the US.â
âI see. Ask the people in the US to keep an eye on her. Watch who she is in contact with.â
âUnderstood.â
On Alan's desk, there was a DNA test report from Kent Bais man. For accuracy, he compared and
analyzed Susan's hair and the saliva left on the glass last night.
She was certainly a fake.
Actually, from the moment he knew his wife's identity, these evidences were unnecessary to him.
No wonder his girl already suspected before she met her.
Well, it was Susan's bad luck. She wasn't good at pretending to be someone else and she even
pretended to be his wife. She even boldly bumped against the righteous identity.
Fake would always be fake and it couldn't be real. But when could this truth be revealed out to the
open?
âKnock knock.â
Following the knock, Olive's head poked in.
âMr. Hoyle, do you have something for calling me over?â
âThe paternity test has come out. As you've expected, that Susan wasn't the Geve's real daughter.
Baby, your instinct is better than God".â Alan got up and walked over to the door, pulling his
naughty wife to sit on the sofa, then handed her the report.
Olive flipped it twice and already knew it.
Actually, two months ago, she had another set of result in her hands.
It was actually quite tormenting to keep it in her heart. But now, she had another idea.
âBaby, you have nothing to tell me?â Alan asked tentatively.
Olive was immersed in her thoughts and didn't react for a while. âWhat did you say?â
This girl still refused to tell him. He was her beloved husband and she even hid it from him. He
would be angry by then. Who asked her treating him as an outsider?â
âNothing. Let me take you to see something.â
What he wanted to show her was in the villa in Minghu. The car was speeding fast down the road,
as if he couldn't wait.
When they got out of the car, he asked her to close her eyes, blindfolding her with a light gauze.
Olive asked, âWhat are you being secretive for again?â
This man sometimes really acted like a kid, a little naughty.
He replied, âThe answer will be revealed for you immediately.â
Olive could only let him be. He had always liked to play these little games.
He led her into the house, step by step up to the stairs, telling her where to turn.
Olive constructed a map in her mind. When he told her to stop, she could be sure that she was
standing in a room on the third floor.
âCan I see it now?â
"Of course you can, my princess.â His voice came softly from behind.
Olive lifted the scarf covering her sight. What caught her eyes was the room full of wedding dresses
flowing with the breeze. She covered her mouth in surprise.
"Oh, my gosh. You...â
This was a vacant room. Except for the white, red, purple, and blue wedding dresses worn on the
model, there was nothing else. Each of them were all exquisitely beautiful.
Every woman couldn't resist the alluring of wedding dress, and so was Olive. Her eyes were
sparkling and couldn't look away.
"Are you opening a bridal shop? There are so many.â She counted and there were twelve pieces with
different colors, gorgeous and atmospheric.
Beside each dress, stood small models wearing a beautiful princess gowns, which were prepared for
Annie.
On the day of the wedding, an hour to change a dress was more than enough.
Twenty-four fake models with different styles of wedding dress. They seemed alive.
These wedding dresses were gorgeous and simple, retro and modern, noble and oriental...
In short, the styles were various and there was no duplication. They were by no means ordinary
products.
He always gave her the best. These absolutely magnificent dream was real love.
âLike it?â
âI do.â Which woman didn't like being treated like this by their beloved man? âBut don't you think
this is too wasteful?â
âI'm fine when it comes to you.â
âA wastrel,â Olive chided him.
Some people said that you didnât have to necessarily looking for a rich husband, but looked for a
man who was willing to spend money for his wife, rather than rich and stingy.
She was blessed to have both.
Alan smiled and said, âDonât worry. Your husband's property can't be gone by just a few wedding
dresses.â
âYou're crazy.â She really couldn't find other word to describe him.
âCrazy for you and I'm happy,â Alan chuckled and suddenly started singing, âI want to ask you if you
dare to love me like you've said you would. I want to ask if you dare to be crazy for love like me.â
With the gesture and expression he made, Olive doubled over and laughed until tears of happiness
and emotion came out.
She put her hands around his neck and firmly said, âI dare.â
All her courage to love came from the touch and happiness he gave.
âI've hired a photographer to take twelve dresses of wedding photos with the theme of four seasons
and twelve months. You'll have to work hard at that time.â
Olive shook her head, âI'm not afraid.â
There was a kind of romance in this world which was after getting old, two people could still sit on a
rocking chairs, basking under the sun and chatting, slowly flipping through old photos of their
youth.
Alan's lips slowly fell on her lips. Olive heard her breath was taken away.
