Julia’s face darkened drastically after she got questioned by her son. Taking Helen with her, she turned and exited the room.
As the room door closed again, Christina slumped onto her seat. I can’t afford to let similar situations happen again.
She abruptly stood up and pushed Nathaniel toward the door. “Don’t come in again until I complete. the gowns.”
Upon saying that, she shut the door without hesitation, completely cutting each other’s line of sight.
And just like that, Nathaniel was chased out of the room. Perhaps I’ve been worrying over nothing. Christina can probably manage. I’ll just be causing more trouble for her instead if I stay.
After mulling it over, he eventually left the Hadley residence.
Without any interruption, Christina was making rapid progress. Within a day, she finished sewing the fabrics together.
At night, she went to knock on Julia’s room door. “M Hadley, is it convenient for you to come our and try on the gowns now?”
As much as the gowns were tailor-made, they might need some amendments too. Christina wanted to ensure they fit Julia well before adding the embellishments.
Helen opened the door. “Please head over first. Mrs. Hadley will go over in a while.”
Christina nodded and returned to the tailor room.
Since she had the rare opportunity to take a break, she walked up to the window to view the scenery. The moonlight poured from the night sky, casting a layer of glistening glow on the jasmine flowers in the backyard.
Next to the jasmine flowers were some chamomile plants. But since it was the winter season, there were no flowers.
“I can try on the gowns now.”
Christina flinched in fright when she heard a sudden voice from behind her. She hastily walked over and said, “These three gowns are ready. Try them on first, and let me know if any parts don’t fit. I’ll make the necessary changes after.”
Julia hummed an acknowledgment and took the gowns to try on.
The first gown was deep blue color, made using velvet material. It was a shade that gave off a sense of healing and, at the same time, a mysterious feeling.
Julia thought it fit perfectly after wearing it, and even lelen praised, “Ms. Ada, you have excellent skills. It’s the first time I’ve come across someone who can grasp the cutting of clothing so perfectly the first
time.”
Unlike Ada’s technique, many designers would usually save some excess fabric during cutting for amendments at a later stage.

Christina still had confidence in herself. “I’ll add the embellishments next and sew on the jasmine. flowers.”
Julia was satisfied as well. However, she did not show her emotions and merely bobbed her head.
She consecutively tried on all three gowns, and there were no problems.
As Christina hung the gowns that Julia had tried back onto the racks, a growling sound suddenly broke. the silence in the room.
Christina looked at Helen, but the latter looked at Juli instead.
“Mrs. Hadley, you hardly had anything for dinner. How about I ask the chef to whip up something for you?”
Julia had been in a bad mood for the entire day after Nathaniel talked back to her that morning.
She had barely eaten anything during dinner.
Christina suggested, “I’m good at making desserts. How about I make some for you?”
Julia glanced at her. The combination of the black mask and white dress on Christina gave off an odd vibe, but Julia was somewhat interested in her cooking skills.
She turned to leave without saying if she wanted to ca or not.
Helen, however, turned back with a smile. “We’ll be counting on you, then, Ms. Ada. Mrs. Hadley doesn’t like it too sweet. You can leave it after you’re done making it. I’ll bring it to Mrs. Hadley.”
With that, she turned and followed Julia out of the room.
The smile on Christina’s face faded. Helen is literally Mrs. Hadley’s confidante. She seems to be able to read her mind.
