My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 162

Stanley chortled heartlessly. “Hahaha… You insisted on wearing the down jacket, so you are now being stopped outside. Serves you right!”

Mockeries were heard from the crowd. Richard smiled sarcastically and said, “I think this is as far as you can go. You don’t need to attend the banquet. You need to dress in formal attire to attend the banquet. I understand your situation, so I won’t force you…”

As they had arrived at the main entrance of the hotel, the warm air from inside blew toward her face, causing her face to flush red, and her body started to feel hot under the thick jacket.

However, her looks gave everyone the impression that she was feeling so embarrassed that her face was flushed!

“Sophie, you can continue to dilly-dally. I’m not waiting for you! I’ll bring Nate inside to have some food first!”

Sophia looked at Stanley disappearing behind the door with her reddened face.

Xyla uttered to her while pretending to be caring, “I have an evening gown that I’ve worn before this. How about I lend it to you?”

Kayla scoffed, “Xyla, she can’t fit into your dress! Her measurements and status don’t match yours! Besides, an evening gown shouldn’t be worn twice!”

Xyla replied in a flirtatious manner, “I was going to get rid of the evening gown anyway, so it’s better to give it to Sophia! I think it would fit her!”

A sneer by Xyla was replied with a scoff by Kayla, and together, they demeaned Sophia over and over again.

Sophia kept quiet for a few seconds before asking the waiter, who was covering his mouth while laughing, “What kind of attire is considered appropriate?”

Everyone broke into laughter. It turned out that she came without any knowledge, so it was no wonder that she would humiliate herself.

The waiter could barely suppress his giggle as he probably hadn’t seen such an embarrassing scene. “At the very least, you can’t enter wearing a down jacket.”

Half of Sophia’s face was hidden under the collar of her down jacket, which made her look like a walking jacket. And to make things worse, the jacket was gaudy and bright red, and the hoodie was over her head, barely revealing her pair of eyes.

She thought about it seriously. “If I take off my down jacket, can I go in, then?”

The waiter was stunned as he didn’t know how to reply.

Nevertheless, Sophia refused to allow him to have the time to phrase his words. She immediately took off the hoodie over her head, exposing her elegantly coiled hair-do where every single strand of hair was set in place. Her black hair bun was coiled and twisted, forming a stylish and beautiful arc. Her hair was embellished with white pearl hair pin, which made her look delicate, graceful and gentle.

Zip! She then gently pulled down the zipper of her down jacket, and the piercing sound of the friction between metals was heard by everyone. She bent down while pulling the zipper from the top to the bottom, slowly opening her jacket. The jacket was slowly pulled apart starting from her shoulders.

A row of pearls was revealed from the parted down jacket.

Richard, who was standing behind Sophia, seemed to have flames ignited in his eyes, and his gaze was completely focused on her.

The gaudy, bright-red down jacket was gradually pulled apart, revealing a fair, tender neck that resembled a swan’s, her sharp jawline, and also her red lips, which contained a hint of a snicker.

As the down jacket slid down, her bare scapulas were perfectly shown in front of everyone. She looked like a cocoon slowly splitting apart, and the beautiful butterfly gently spread its gorgeous wings, preparing to soar to the sky at any time.

Half of her back was then revealed. Her fair, jade-like complexion was flawless; her lines were soft and captivating, resembling Venus’ figure, and not a single imperfection could be found.

The down jacket was completely taken off, and everyone was finally able to see her attire underneath. It was an ivory backless sleeveless evening gown. Ivory color best enhanced the skin tone, causing her complexion on her chest and back to look extremely fair. A diamond necklace hung on top of her fair chest, gleaming like stars.
