After the New Year's Eve Tragedy Her Icy Return novel Chapter 78

Finished

Blake spoke softly, “Don’t overthink it. Your dress looks great, but at events like these, people always like to judge others through a biased lens. I’m just worried they might say something that would make you

uncomfortable.”

Before Caroline could respond, a voice came from the door, panting slightly.

“Mr. Sherwood, the dress you requested has arrived.”

Blake walked to the door and took the box with the dress inside. “Thank you.

“No trouble at all,” the delivery man replied, respectfully bowing. “If nothing else, I’ll be on my way.”

Blake nodded, and the man quickly left.

Caroline guessed the man must have been from the store, but his service was surprisingly polite.

He practically bent over backward for Blake.

As she was thinking this, Blake had already shut the door and stood before her.

He opened the box, pulled out the dress, and handed it to her. “Go try it on and see if it fits,” he said.

“Okay.” Caroline took the dress and went to the guest room.

She admired the blue off–the–shoulder dress as she looked at it from different angles.

As a fashion designer, she was in awe of the designer who created this dress. It was simply beautiful.

She quickly changed into the dress, but when she reached for the zipper behind her, it got stuck halfway and wouldn’t budge.

Blake’s voice came from outside. “How’s the fit? If it’s not right, we still have time to alter it.”

Caroline tugged at the zipper and replied, “I think it should be fine.”

Hearing her voice a little strained, Blake furrowed his brow. “Is there something wrong with the dress?”

“No,” Caroline replied quickly, worried that she might make him wait too long. She gave up on the zipper.

She opened the door, turned her back to Blake, and lifted her hair to expose the zipper. “It’s stuck. Can you help me zip it up?”

Her pale back was now exposed to Blake, and he instinctively averted his gaze, his face flushing slightly.

After a moment, he turned back, focusing on the zipper

He gently pulled the zipper down and then easily zipped it up.

Blake asked, “Does it feel tight or uncomfortable anywhere?”

Caroline glanced down at the dress, a satisfied smile spreading across her face. “It fits perfectly. There’s nothing uncomfortable about it.”
