One Day My Sister Died (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 022

Episode 22. A Man Hard to Understand2023.10.22.Among the maids meticulously examining the design book as if it would wear out, Monica was particularly enthusiastic in recommending various things to Yuan.

“Madam, your arms and legs are slender, but with some fullness in your chest and hips, wearing something too loose might make you look heavier than you are. Since you have black hair, any color would suit you, but bright colors like pink or yellow would highlight your figure without looking excessive!”

Monica, who got along splendidly with the dressmaker Michelle, practically made decisions for Yuan before she could even say whether she liked or disliked something.

In truth, this was more convenient for Yuan.

Though she didn’t dislike dressing up in pretty clothes and shoes, having lived her teenage years indifferent to such things, she could recognize beauty but was clumsy at choosing.

Monica, a refined-looking maid in her late twenties, boasted that she had once been in charge of dressing the young ladies of a wealthy noble family when she was younger.

Her stubbornness was as unyielding as an ox; when Yuan subtly hinted that something might be too much, Monica would explain in great detail why it wasn’t excessive and why it had to be worn, earning applause from the other maids and surrender from Yuan.

The butler, watching from a distance, also judged that if they only followed Yuan’s wishes, inviting outsiders to the mansion would have been pointless.

In the end, through the collaboration of Michelle, the dressmaker eager to make a big sale, and Monica, who wanted to take charge of dressing the madam instead of laundry, Yuan ended up ordering over thirty outfits.

“Th-thirty outfits…”

“Madam, since they’re winter clothes, we’ve ordered thick shawls, leather gloves lined with wool, and the earmuffs and fur cloak you often use, made with angora fur. All those little things are included, so it’s not really thirty outfits!”

“Indeed, Madam. The mistress of Marquis Rev’s household, whom I serve, orders even more every year. Since you’re not ordering extravagant ball gowns, we’ve put together far more practical and lightweight dresses.”

In the end, the dull dark green dress Yuan always wore was swiftly stripped off by Monica’s hands.

Even as she undressed, Yuan stubbornly insisted on keeping the dress, which Louise had mended several times, refusing to discard it.

But when Michelle, the dressmaker, promised to return it neatly repaired along with the new clothes, Yuan handed it over.
