Chapter 36 The Disgusting Wedding Dress
Chapter 36 The Disgusting Wedding Dress
Caroline carefully pulled Emma's hand, "Emma, why do I feel a bit weird?" Why was the groom so interested in picking out a dress for the bride's sister to attend the wedding? This was not proper in any way, wasn't it!?
Emma glared at her, "Why are you so annoying? Don't stick your nose into other people's affairs!"
"I'm just kidding, why so serious?" Caroline said aggrieved, not quite understanding why Emma suddenly became angry. She just told the truth!
"Come on, don't think too much about it. He's just trying to curry favor with Logan." Emma explained to Caroline. But deep in her heart, she didn’t buy it, either.
Elena changed her clothes and went out. At a glance, she looked as an angel falling from the heaven, with delicate collarbones and thin waistline. The dress just fitted her tall figure very well, which stunned everyone.
Elena came to Logan with a smile on her face. She slowly walked up to Logan, "Is that okay?"
How could it be just okay? It was just perfect!
Before Logan could answer, Jeremy was already applauding! He had seen Elena was always in the simplest clothing before, and it had never occurred to him that she could be so beautiful in this dress.
"Well, change it back." Logan nodded, his indifferent expression didn't give any hint.
Elena took a closer look and thought maybe she didn't look that good in this dress, so she immediately changed it.
While Emma had got scared and angry long ago. She'd always known Elena was good looking and that was why she'd been so wary of her. She was afraid that some day she'd take Jeremy again!
Elena handed the dress back to the clerk as she finished changing, "Sorry."
The clerk felt a little pity, "Are you sure you don't want it? I think it suits you well."
"No." She waved her hand and smiled apologetically.
"Have you made a decision on your wedding dress yet?" Elena looked at Emma, and then at Jeremy. They looked like a good match.
Emma stomped her foot, exasperated by the beauty of Elena in that dress, "Nope! What's the rush? This one doesn't look good!" She turned around to the clerk and said, "Go and bring me the best and most expensive one you have here!"
The clerk looked at her and said in hesitation, "Well ..."
"What? Are you afraid we can’t afford it?"
"No, but, that's not for sale."
When Emma heard that, she felt humiliated and said arrogantly, "So what? Just bring it here. I'll personally contact your manager no matter it's for sale or not!"
Hearing that, the clerk knew that it was not good to mess with her, so she went to fetch the most- treasured piece in the store.
But the next second, Emma became even more embarrassed because that wedding dress happened to be the same one Elena had tried before! What a coincidence!
Logan, who had kept silent for a long time, finally said, "Sorry, I have invested in this store and the designer is a friend of mine."
So, it was a non-sale for sure! Besides, this was the designer's most prized work, and if it weren't for the fact that the two had known each other for a long time, the clerk wouldn’t fetch that dress earlier.
"Emma, the dress you picked earlier also fits you well! We don't need to try that dress!" Caroline persuaded, pulling her to look around, "Look at it, how pretty it is. Just like a fairy!"
Hearing this, Emma was secretly relieved and pretended to be convinced by her words, "Forget it. I won't importune if it's not for sale."
She put her arm around Jeremy's with a lovely and innocent expression, "Then we'll settle for this one, okay?"
Jeremy showed a soft look on his face, "Okay, I'll make an appointment for us to take wedding photos then."
"Whatever, you decide!" Emma responded with increasing intimacy, glancing at Caroline in secret. Seeing her suspicious look gradually dissipate, Emma relieved.
Elena also let out a sigh of relief, "Now that it’s done, we should get back too."
Jeremy opened his mouth as if to say something to detain Elena, but held back his words stiffly for fear that Emma would discover something.
Elena pushed Logan to past by him, using a low voice only he could hear, "Jeremy, whether you do anything or not, it has nothing to do with me. Emma can never split Logan and me apart!" Not to mention trying to ruin her relationship with Logan. Before, she might had been afraid of them, but Logan told her to trust him, and she chose to believe that unconditionally!
Jeremy's body shook as he looked at the back of the resolute woman who had left. To his surprise, regret arose up! He had thought that he had done all that for her, so that she could remember him for
the rest of her life. But now, he was told that what he was doing was useless ...
Elena walked out of the bridal shop and took a deep breath, "Finally, we have left them!"
Fortunately, Emma did not continue trying any dress, otherwise, maybe they would have to accompany her for the whole afternoon. She knew so well about Emma's seriousness and her picky taste. It was impossible to satisfy her!
Logan nodded and turned to Jacob, "Bring the dress she just tried on to the car."
"What?" Elena had just gotten in the car and didn’t listen carefully.
"Nothing." He pursed his thin lips, not intending to tell her that it was just something inconsequential.
She understood and didn't ask.
...
Emma's wedding went extraordinarily well, and she was able to earn enough respect and flattering. At that night, Emma also had to entertain her guests, so she had no time to make trouble with Elena, and therefore, there was more peace.
Mason was satisfied and nodded. However, he was warning her as if he was on guard against her during the ceremony, "From now on, Jeremy is your brother-in-law, no matter what, you should know how to behave properly and have a sense of propriety in your heart. Don't get yourself involved into trouble!"
Elena was depressed but she responded perfunctorily, "Okay."
"Good. Now you two both have your own families. Don't fight again or disgrace our family!"
"..." Elena chose to turn back and let him go on with his coaching remarks. She guaranteed that if she stayed for one more minute, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist hitting him!
The phone rang and it was Logan's. She picked it up immediately, "Do you arrive?"
"Here we are, stand there. Jacob saw you." Logan's low voice came out as if with magic and she immediately stood up straight and didn't move. But the next moment, she immediately caught a strong stench of alcohol, causing her to frown. Besides her, a middle-aged man was drunk and red-faced, "Pretty girl, all alone, right?"
Elena darkened her face, not really understanding why there were people of this kind at the wedding reception. By now the guests were all seated, and there happened to be a pillar that blocked a lot of people's sights.
"Excuse me, I'm waiting for someone." Elena stayed away his outstretched hand and politely said.
When the man heard this, he smiled more disgustedly, "Waiting for someone, huh? Wait for me! Don't be shy. I knew it."
"Sir, please behave yourself. This is a wedding reception. If you want to drink, you can go out and find someone to drink with you, or you can ..."
"What are you pretending for!" Seeing that she still refused, the man immediately cursed with a low voice, ''Don't get on my bad side! What are you doing with all that nagging? You should be with me as I tell you! Come here!"
All of a sudden, the man immediately grabbed her hand and yanked her out. Elena was taken aback, thinking of Logan's words and looking around anxiously, where was he!
"Be a good girl and do as I say, and I won't let you down." His temper was restrained a lot after pulling her, and again with a laughter, he pulled out a handful of banknotes from his pocket and shoved it into her hand, "These are for you, take them ..."
"Sir ..." Elena drew her hand back, suppressing the revulsion that welled up in her heart. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
