Her mother might know since Whitney used the family’s currency, but Lebelom didn’t seem like he had been harassed by her mother since their last encounter. However, the fact that he was closed was odd – he wouldn’t make business that way.
Soon, Lebelom returned with a couple of dresses.
“These are designed exclusively for Lady Whitney. Besides the debutante dress, I planned to prepare about five more.”
“Five more? I can’t accept that.”
“Please do. It’ll ease my mind. Don’t ask why, just think of it as my investment. I’ve heard stories about Lady Whitney spreading among the ladies recently.”
So, he’s giving me dresses for promotion. The fabrics looked luxurious.
“Just try one. I’m sure you’ll like it.”
Persuaded by Lebelom, Whitney went to change. Sonia, helping her dress, was full of praise.
“The design is very elegant. It accentuates the feminine curves beautifully, and the finishing is impeccable. Who is this talented designer? How did you find this place?”
Sonia looked pleased. They had come for ready-to-wear dresses, but unexpectedly, they found a delightful dress. Moreover, it was a yellow dress that complemented her hair color. A deep blue dress was also placed beside it.
“It feels more comfortable than what I’ve worn before. Maybe because it’s tailored to my body… The material is also soft, making it easier to breathe, and I like it.”
Whitney moved around, looking at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were drawn to the fluttering hem of her dress. The skirt of the dress was layered, and the petticoat was richly adorned with lace, a design she had not seen before.
‘This should get people talking naturally.’
Afterward, Lebelom showed Whitney three more designs for dresses he planned to make for her.
He had closed the shop to focus on these dresses but did not explain why. Though his evasiveness was suspicious, due to her next appointments, Whitney couldn’t stay longer. She changed back and headed to the dye shop.
“Sorry, but red dye is hard to come by and doesn’t sell well.”
Whitney looked troubled. She had hoped to gather evidence that Cecilia was purchasing the dye but realized it might be difficult.
“So there’s no chance of it coming in?”
“If it does, I’ll contact you.”
“I’ll pay well for it. I need it.”
“Perhaps you should try this place. It imports the most dye in the capital.”
“Thank you. Please keep it a secret that I’m looking for red dye.”
After taking the contact details from the shop owner and paying, she left. He nodded reassuringly and smiled. Only after purchasing lace handkerchiefs did Whitney head to the Orleans Duchy.
As the carriage stopped, a servant hurriedly went inside the mansion. Whitney and Sonia stepped out of the carriage. Each visit felt unfamiliar.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been in my own home without father or mother.”
“I heard you were coming but can’t say I’m pleased.”
“I didn’t expect you to welcome me. I brought a gift. Will you leave it outside?”
Cecilia, glaring at Whitney, finally allowed her inside after seeing the box she was holding.
Upon entering, Whitney saw the butler she had placed in the house. They exchanged a brief look. Whitney discreetly passed him a note and then proceeded to the living room.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
