Chapter 232
Wanda couldn’t believe they were really hugging on the street in broad daylight.
She couldn’t ignore the curious stares from passersby. Some cars even honked loudly.
Terrified, she squeezed her eyes shut, hoping that avoiding eye contact would make the situation less
awkward.
Carlisle held Wanda close.
His tone was gentle as he murmured, “Wanda, I’ve missed you so much.”
Despite seeing each other daily during military training, they had to maintain a distance. It felt even more
difficult than not seeing each other at all.
Wanda reached out to encircle Carlisle’s waist with her arms.
Her voice was choked with emotion as she whispered, ‘I missed you too.”
She felt Carlisle’s strong heartbeat and suddenly giggled.
“Why is your heart racing?”
Carlisle paused, then smiled. “Because my heart only races for you.‘
Looking up at Carlisle, Wanda asked, “Is that your way of confessing your feelings?”
Carlisle shook his head. “Not exactly…”
Frowning and pouting. Wanda said, “Then I don’t want to talk to you anymore!”
She pushed Carlisle away and turned around.
Wanda couldn’t help but find Carlisle clueless in love.
Carlisle approached Wanda with a playful grin. “Are you secretly hoping I’ll confess to you?”
“No, I’m not!” Wanda retorted, turning away again.
Wanda’s observation of Carlisle as the archetypal straight guy was evident.
“Why do I even need to say it myself?” she pondered. “As a girl, shouldn’t I maintain some dignity?”
At that moment, a sophisticated–looking man, Leon, emerged from the bridal shop. There was a friendly grin on his face as he approached.
“Are you guys here for wedding photos?”
A glint of interest sparkled in/Wanda’s eyes, but she shook her head.
“We’re still students…”
With a warm smile, Leon suggested, “You two are the first young couple I’ve seen since I opened. How
about this? Let’s make a deal.”
Intrigued, Carlisle asked, “What kind of deal?”
With a genial grin, Leon offered, “If you both are still together after college, I’ll gift you a set of wedding attire I’ve personally crafted, and I’ll capture your wedding moments for free!”
As Carlisle glanced at the elegant wedding dresses on display, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“Did you design all of these dresses?”
The wedding dresses showcased were unparalleled in beauty, boasting styles that far exceeded the domestic fashion design standards of the time. Carlisle found himself particularly intrigued by several sets of the slim–fit suits.
Leon first scrutinized Carlisle’s attire before turning his attention to Wanda’s dress.
With a slight furrow of his brows, Carlisle took Wanda’s hand and suggested, “Let’s go…”
Wanda also noticed Leon staring at her waist. She nodded and followed Carlisle as they prepared to leave.
Leon quickly stepped in front of them, his tone gentle and sincere.
