Billionaire's Pregnant Ex-wife novel Chapter 66

I stared at my reflection in the mirror, my jaw slightly parted open. Miss Celine had been true to her word; after she was done with my makeover, I didn’t recognize myself. That may sound exaggerated, but it was the truth. Indeed, she and her staff did a great job.

I thought it was almost impossible to achieve glowing skin like that of celebrities, but looking at myself now, I realized it could be done once you have the money. My skin was soft, supple, and literally glowing. Aside from that, I felt lighter and more relaxed after the whole body massage the spa staff performed on me.

Looking at my face, the soft lines beneath my eyes, caused by stress and sleepless nights, magically vanished after the luxury facial I had, which lasted for one and a half hours. My face had a shiny sheen, making me appear refreshed and radiant.

But it was my hair that entirely changed my facial appearance and made me look different. Miss Celine transformed my straight black hair into wavy curls and then cut my bangs to create soft, parted layers that enhanced my jawline, making it appear more sculpted. To give my look a more dramatic flair, as she said, she added highlights to the front of my hair, providing it with a sophisticated and classy finish.

Aside from my hair, Miss Francine glamorized my fingernails by painting them with an eye–catching scarlet red and adding small flower designs. I thought the design was too fancy since I was used to having short and plain nails. However, I couldn’t remove it because she worked hard to make my nails look perfect.

“I have a nephew in Europe. He frequently visits the Phoenix family. You will meet him soon. I know the two of you will get along so well,” Miss Francine told me when I finally

turned to her.

I gave her a shy smile but said nothing since I had nothing to add.

“Cain is very good–looking! Just don’t fall for him, darling. He’s a mega playboy! But despite being a ladies‘ man, don’t worry; he’s a good man,” Celine added, and I couldn’t help but wonder if she was trying to give me a warning or an assurance.

“That’s not gonna happen,‘ I thought to myself, knowing that after falling in love with a mega playboy like Grey Gabriel Bradford, I had learned my lesson and gotten more than I bargained for. Falling for another playboy would be like picking up a stone off the ground and hitting myself on the head with it.

I didn’t stay any longer at the spa and salon since I still had a flight to catch. Miss Francine understood that I had to leave immediately. In fact, she was the one who reminded me that I should prepare for my flight.

Before I left, I thanked her for the makeover and for making me feel confident in my appearance. She gave me a smile in return and told me to visit the spa and salon once I returned from Europe.

I waved at her one last time before climbing into the car. She waved back, and when the car sped away, she returned inside the building while I settled into my seat and entertained myself by watching the beautiful scenery outside the car.

When the car finally pulled to a stop in front of the mansion, I clambered out and hurried upstairs to change my clothes. Along the way, the servants I passed stopped in their tracks to throw admiring glances my way.

I felt embarrassed by the attention I was attracting and bowed my head to conceal the reddening of my cheeks until I reached my room. When I was finally safely inside, I let out a sigh of relief and opened my wardrobe to select what to wear for my trip.

The first thing that caught my attention upon opening the wardrobe was a scarlet halter top dress. I wasn’t used to wearing something so provocative, but I wanted to try something bold and new.

Despite my slight hesitation, I finally convinced myself to wear it after telling myself that once my belly started to swell, I wouldn’t be able to wear anything like this again.

Just in case it got too cold inside the plane, I grabbed a black blazer and let it hang on my

shoulders.

Finally content with my attire, I turned my attention to my shoes after realizing that my

previous choice didn’t suit my outfit. I changed into a pair of black stilettos, then turned to the mirror and smiled as I saw my reflection.

Since I was in the mood for a bold look, I grabbed the red lipstick from my dresser and

evenly applied it to my lips. When I finished, I put on my sunglasses.

Who would have guessed that the woman standing in the mirror was Lily De Silva? I thought to myself while surveying my reflection. My old acquaintances would never

recognize me now. With that thought in mind, I couldn’t help but smile as I turned away

from the mirror.

“It’s time to go, Lily,” I told myself before grabbing my suitcase and marching to the door.

I arrived at the airport thirty minutes before my departure schedule. After checking in, I sat in the waiting area and waited for my flight to be announced.

As I sat there, I quietly observed my surroundings and noticed several heads turning in my
