A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 394

The party comes soon.

Burnell and Jonathan dress up and go to the party early on.

John and Lily are the only ones still lingering in the manor.

While waiting for her gown from Brodie, Lily says to John, "Go with your father, I will come after you soon. Moreover, I know where to go."

"You are my girlfriend, so I should be with you." John pours her a cup of nectar and whispers, "How are the babies today? How are you?"

Lily replies in a low voice, "I felt good in the past two days, so it will be all right tonight, I hope. Thank goodness, I haven't gained much weight these days and my belly hasn't swollen up yet, otherwise, I can't wear a gown."

John smiles, "I have never known the fat Lily. Now I may have a chance."

"Hey, hey, don't be silly."

"..."

When they chat in low voices, the servant who fetches the gown comes back.

Glancing at the gown that the servant is holding with both hands, Lily is confused, "I tried on the gown once. It was a champagne fishtail skirt with long-sleeves. Why are you holding a black gown?"

"Mr. Brodie said, that gown was accidentally scratched by the cat kept by his assistant," The servant replies, "This is the only gown in the studio fitting Ms. Lily."

John says in ill humor, "The gown was tailored two months ago, and Ms. Lily approved its color and style. Now that the gown is damaged, he just uses this black one to muck us about?"

The servant lowers his head and doesn't dare to say anything.

"Never mind, let's look at the gown first," Lily says as she takes the gown from the servant and shakes it off.

The gown is handmade. It is waisted with hollow-out collar and back. And its split stretches from the thigh to the ankle. In one word, it is an Haute Douture which will display the fine figure of a woman.

"Invite Brodie over!" On seeing the gown, John pulls a long face immediately.

"Yes."

"Although it's a little exposed, the design is excellent. There are so many clothes in his studio, why did Brodie choose this one for me?" Lily is still looking at the gown when the servant leaves for Brodie.

After saying that, she looks at John.

At her question, John looks worse.

Brodie comes quickly. He bows and apologizes to John and Lily, while repeating the same excuse for changing the gown.

"Choose one gown similar to the size of Ms. Lily and deal with it!" John orders.

"No." Brodie says perplexedly, "You know, Miss Liliya is very slim, so almost all of my designs are of small size."

"It should be fine to change a gown from a large size to a small one, but the styles and colors of those gowns are out of date. It seems that Ms. Lily has gained some weights these days, so, changing the gowns of small sizes won't work."

Lily, "..."

"Then call your friends and ask them if there are any ready-made gowns." John has been infuriated, "If no, you will be fired!"

Brodie takes out the phone immediately, "I'll be right back."

After making several calls beside the window, Brodie comes over slowly and says carefully, "There are many gowns that fit Ms. Lily's size in two studios, but..."

John looks cool-headed and orders, "Then hurry up and send them over!"

"The nearest studio needs one and half hour to deliver a gown," Brodie mumbles, "and the party will refuse one's entrance at 8:30. Mr. John, there's not enough time."

John almost explodes at these words, immediately, Lily tries to stops him by saying calmly, "Then, let go of Mr. Brodie. There is nothing he can do."

"This gown won't do, it's too exposed!" John knows what she is thinking, so he immediately refuses, "Let's take a look on the way there. We should find a suitable one."
