Of course, one must repay the favor of saving a life,
Gavyn’s heart softened considerably as he raised his hand to wipe away the girl’s tears. “Don’t cry,” he said gently, “I didn’t say I
wouldn’t marry you.”
Lalla burled her head in the man’s embrace, gradually stopping her tears, and the corners of her lips involuntarily lifted slightly.
She knew for sure that talking about that incident from years ago was the right thing to do!
She gently tugged at Gavyn’s sleeve, her eyes red, and asked, “What about the engagement date next month...?”
Gavyn said in a deep voice, “I’ll take care of it, don’t worry.”
Upon hearing this, Laila felt a huge weight lifted off her heart, and a sweet smile spread across her face. “Gavyn, we haven’t
even chosen our wedding dress yet. Will you accompany me to pick one out today, please?”
Laila playfully wrapped her arm around Gavyn’s, snuggling up to him, almost pressing her entire body against his.
Gavyn gave a slight nod.
“Alright.”
On the way to the bridal shop, Laila kept asking Gavyn about his preferences for the wedding attire,
her heart filled with happiness and sweetness.
Upon entering the bridal shop, the shop assistant immediately noticed that the visitors were the
CEO of the Delacruz Group and his future wife. She promptly cleared the store and greeted them
with a smile, saying, “Mr. Delacruz, these are our latest designs, perfect for your lovely
wife-to-be.”
Laila’s eyes sparkled with happiness as she laughed the words “Gavyn’s wife” almost making her
joy overflow.
She must choose the most beautiful wedding dress!
“If I could have this, this, and this...”
A moment later, with the help of the shop assistant, Laila tried on a fishtail wedding dress and walked out. The long white sandy
train, adorned with sca**ered diamonds, looked as dreamy and
enchanting as ever.
Laila’s face flushed with shyness as she looked at the man, seeking his opinion.

Grn was completely absorbed in Aippins through the magazine, never realizing that a woman Goukhave Could have such high

Upontralating her eyes, she was slightly taken aback

But he really could’t remember clearly.
He was not willing to have a wedding ceremony, so when Steve sent the wedding dress, she only svetsatically tried it on before
putting it away.
But he vaguely remembered that she had no complaints about not having a wedding ceremony, and she didn’t seem happy
when she saw the wedding dess.
Axexpsstest, her purpose for marrying him was no ure!
Sewingg Gavyn lost in thought, Laila couldn’t help but call out to him again.
Gavyn quickly snapped back to reality, the corner his mouth lifting slightly, “Beautiful.”
The shop assistant on the side secretly took back he gaze from Gavyn, her face flushed, and she didn’t hold back her
admiration. “The bride-to-be looks so stunning that even Mr. Delacruz is left speechless!”
Upon heating this, Laila blushed and shyly lowered her head. She lifted her skirt slightly and said. with a hint of dissatisfaction, “It
seems a bit too long, which might be a bit inconvenient.”
“So, Ms. Marsh, shall we try another one?”
“Alright, bring me a few more sets to try on.”
Laila tried on several wedding dresses, but despite the shop assistant’s compliments on how stunning she looked, she still felt
somewhat unsatisfied.
It’s not that the style isn’t stunning enough, it’s just that the size isn’t quite right.
Gavyn wasn’t an expert on wedding dresses, but he still thought that none of them looked as good as the one Aylin had worn
initially.
Suddenly, the store manager had an idea. He went to the sealed box and came out holding a beautiful wedding dress.
“Ms. Marsh, you are naturally beautiful, and those wedding dresses can hardly bring out your true
charm. This one is our store’s most treasured plecel It’s Mr. Ryan’s last plece of work. Why don’t yougive it a try?”
The store manager gestured to the other shop assistant, and together they held up the wedding dress, taking the opportunity to
introduce the intricate craftsmanship of the gown.
“The embroidery on this wedding gown was all hand-stitched by Mr. Ryan himself, using silk threads made from peacock
feathers. The hem is adorned with a 200-carat diamond, and even the waist is embellished with 1,314 pearls. This one-of-a-kind,
exquisite gown is truly befitting of Ms. Marsh’s elegance and grace.”
Under the lights, the wedding dress reflects dazzling radiance everywhere.
Laila was instantly captivated.
She had never seen such a stunning wedding dress before!
The store manager noticed Laila’s interest and quickly took her to try it on.
As a emerged wearing the wedding gown, she appeared extremely reserved and restrained.
She’s a dancer, so it goes without saying that she takes great care of her figure.
However, this wedding dress made her feel somewhat breathless.
“Can this wedding dress be altered?” Laila’s face showed a hint of embarrassment.
The store manager was in a bit of a dilemma. After all, not just anyone had the ability to make changes to Mr. Ryan’s work.
Besides, even if she dared to let someone alter such a most-treasured piece, there wouldn’t be any designer who would have
the courage to do it.
“Um... Ms. Marsh, this wedding dress is made of a special material, I’m afraid it can’t be altered... Your figure is really great, it’s
my oversight...”
The store manager’s apology was extremely sincere, and she herself felt quite helpless. She had originally thought that they
could achieve a new sales record, but even if someone found the wedding dress to be a perfect fit, they wouldn’t have that much
money to buy it.
She originally thought that this wedding dress would finally find its owner... but then, such an
incident occurred.
“Ms. Marsh, would you like to take a look at some other options?”
Laila pursed her lips, after seeing the best, how could she possibly be interested in anything else?
“Gavyn, what should I do? I must have gained weight recently. I don’t deserve this wedding dress
anymore...”
Laila’s eyes were already red as she walked over to the couch and wrapped her arms around Gavyn’s arin, looking utterly
wronged.
She knew very well that if she had indeed gained weight, she could always lose it. However, her frame was entirely larger than
the cut of the wedding dress. If it couldn’t be altered, there was no way she could wear it for an extended period of time!
Gavyn closed the book, gently patted the woman’s hand, and said softly, “You’re not fat; it’s just that the wedding dress doesn’t fit
well.”
The shop assistants immediately cast envious glances.
They’ve been working in the store for so many years, and there are only a few people as influential as Gavyn who can
accompany a bride-to-be in choosing her wedding gown.
How could one not be envious of such a rich and handsome man, who is also gentle and attentive
towards his bride!
Upon hearing Gavyn’s words, Laila had no choice but to swallow her grievances, no matter how upset she was about choosing
the wedding dress.
After taking off her wedding dress, she let out a long, aggrieved sigh, “I hope it can find an owner who’s truly suited for it.”
Gavyn responded, “Don’t worry about it. Just try on a few more, and you’ll eventually find the right
one.”
Laila lifted her head and looked into Gavyn’s eyes, which were filled with deep affection.
“Alright, let’s not try it today, Gavyn. It’s getting late, and I’m a bit hungry. How about we go have dinner together? There’s a nice
western restaurant nearby.”
Gavyn glanced at his watch, “I have an international online meeting tonight.”
Laila’s face visibly showed her distress, while Gavyn calmly said, “You’re not feeling well and have been busy all afternoon. I’ll
arrange for a driver to take you home.”
Although she was reluctant deep down, Laila still managed to squeeze out a smile, appearing very
well-educated and sensible.
“Alright, let’s have dinner together again next time.”
“Yes.”
After sending Laila off in the car, Gavyn’s gentle demeanor gradually faded away. For some reason, he knew he should have
spent more time with Laila today, but he just couldn’t shake off an
inexplicable feeling of irritability.
“Lloyd, go home.”
Once in the ear, Gavyn sat in the back seat, closing his eyes to rest and gently massaging hits temples, hoping to alleviate the
inner turmott he was expertenetu
Lloyd drove carefully, glancing at tavyn through the rearview mh for. The mure he looked, the more uneasy he felt inside.
Gavyn’s appearance just doesn’t seem like that of a sweet married couple, no matter how you hondat it.
Does Gavyn really love Laila?

At this mument, insite an uparale cafe, Haleigh is gaped in conversation with a middle-aged man dressed in a high and sulf and
wearing a lupy watch.
Maikam, Vou want to make money, and I want them have my heart set on. Isn’t it a perfect conelemed We are well suited for a

The miskite-aged man took a gentle sip of his coffes his smile warm and amiable,
Haleigh pursed a moment, somewhat puzzled by the true intentions of the man standing before
She wasn’t familiar with this person, but after looking at the business card, she realized that he was The owner of a newly

“how do we make a trade?” Haleigh asked
The m*ckle aged man saniled and said, “There’s a pinting in your house called Overview of the Sexe that Pin quite interested in.”

She had some impression of this painting; after the auction, she had seen it in Gavyn’s study.
“Ats. Ilactus, it you can bring me this painting, an give you the money right now.” As he spoke, the middle aged man had already

Haleigh glanced at it, “200 thousand dollars?”
“Is this all the money you have? Are you trying to treat me like a beggar?” Haleigh scoffed, standing up and grabbing her
crocodile skin purse, ready to leave.
“Mrs. Delacruz, this painting is worth no more than 30,000 dollars, and 300 thousand dollars is already quite a lot.”
Seeing that Haleigh had no intention of stopping, the man continued, “I originally thought that the lady was a smart person, but it
seems that’s not the case. Making money is not something that can be achieved easily. If you want to get rich quick, you’re
bound to lose everything.”
Haleigh’s footsteps came to a halt.
This person made some sense. She didn’t have a single penny in her hands right now. Selling the painting at a low price might
be a bit cheap, but it could be seen as helping others achieve their goals. Her son wouldn’t be at a loss either!
Haleigh sat down again, facing the middle-aged man.
