“I’m sorry. I don’t have the authority to do so. Please hold on.”
A minute later, the shop manager came to talk to Curtis.
Since Curtis was an important customer of the brand, the manager did not dare to make any delays in his request. After looking into it quickly, the manager informed, “Mr. Faymon, the pink diamond was purchased by a man called Jefferson Hamilton.”
I knew it!
Curtis’ expression darkened, and his blood boiled.
He originally wanted to give the diamond to Rayna, and it took six whole months for it to arrive. When he broke up with her, he had no plans to keep it. Hence, he told the manager to sell it when the latter called in order to save himself the heartache when he saw it again.
Still, after all the events that happened, the pink diamond was still purchased by Jefferson and gifted to Rayna.
“Mr. Faymon…” Seeing that Curtis still had not said anything, the manager could not help but ask, “Is there any problem?”
“That’s all,” Curtis uttered coldly and ended the call.
Curtis got busy for a while, yet he could not calm down. Thus, he launched WhatsApp to reply to some messages.
That was when he noticed a heated discussion going on in a group chat.
One big shot said that Rayna was going to his wife’s studio to pick a wedding gown tomorrow.
If Rayna were to wear their wedding gown, they could gain many new customers by riding on the news’ popularity.
Curtis exited to the app’s main page, wanting to send Wendella a text.
However, he hesitated for a moment and opened the chatroom he shared with Kristie.
Around ten o’clock in the morning the next day, Rayna and Jefferson went to a high-end wedding gown studio to pick the wedding gown.
Along the way, she said to Jefferson, “Our marriage is important, but please don’t tell your father about it. We can return to Yartran and hold a wedding ceremony when we’ve settled everything.”
“I know what you’re worried about.” Jefferson squeezed her hand to help her relax. “All I need is you. I won’t bother about their matters.”
Hearing that, Rayna hummed in response, though she was still feeling worried.
Everyone in the country knows of her marriage with Jefferson that was happening soon. Naturally, Arnaud should know about it.
However, Arnaud was being too silent these days, and it made Rayna feel that he was scheming a big plot. She also feared he would tell Boniel about it and stoke the already burning fire in Jefferson’s and Sandy’s relationship.
Ah, hopefully, I’m just overthinking it.
The owner of the studio had already received a call from Rayna yesterday. Knowing Rayna and Jefferson were coming to pick a wedding gown, the owner decided to close the studio partially and not accept any customers for that day.
When the couple arrived, the owner brought them to the second floor.
The second floor was decorated in an Epeanic style, which was very pleasing to the eye. Every wedding gown displayed in the glass cabinets was absolutely beautiful and dreamy.
“Ms. Garland, there is only one gown for each design in our studio. Please feel free to pick anyone you like. We’ll help you alter it if it is necessary,” the owner said with a smile.
Nodding, Rayna said awkwardly, “I’ve gotten a lot fatter recently. It might make the process of picking a gown more troublesome.”
“It’s okay. Just focus on picking the one you like and let us handle the rest,” said the owner.
Rayna felt much at ease to hear that.
After all, every woman wanted to show off their prettiest side in front of the cameras while wearing a wedding gown.
However, Rayna had no choice because she was pregnant.
Moreover, she realized her belly was more obvious ever since she had gotten that jab a week ago. Even loose clothes could barely cover it.
She did not want to walk down the aisle with Jefferson with a big belly.
Just then, she spotted a diamond-studded wedding gown that had a train. She then turned around to ask Jefferson, “Does this look nice? It has quite a lot of diamonds on it. Will it be too fancy?”
“It won’t.” After asking the owner to take the gown out, Jefferson told Rayna, “Try it. I want to have a look.”
