My Ex-Husband Wants Me Again novel Chapter 7

"Do I look good, Marc?" Clarissa changed into a wedding dress at the bridal shop and paraded before Marc, her face glowing. Her once pale face was now rosy.

Clarissa even straightened her curls to please Marc, reminding him of Pearl. Pearl used to smile every day when she was with him. However, her smiles became rarer later.

Marc's thoughts drifted. He remembered he didn't have a wedding with Pearl. After all, Marc had chosen her casually. He hadn't even gone to register the marriage with her. 'Why did she marry me? For money?' he wondered.

"Marc..." Clarissa noticed Marc was lost in thought and approached him. "Marc, am I beautiful?"

Marc smiled faintly. "Yes."

Satisfied, Clarissa touched her waist and turned to the designer beside her. "It's a tad loose here and doesn't show off my figure. Can you tighten it?"

The designer explained hesitantly, "I'm sorry. Our wedding dresses are custom-made three months in advance. This one isn't your size. It was purchased from another customer who had a fuller figure. If we adjust it, it might not be ready for your wedding."

Clarrisa's face darkened. "So, it's my fault?"

"N-no. You misunderstood." The designer panicked when Clarissa changed her demeanor abruptly, apologizing profusely.

Clarissa refused to relent. Marc eventually said, "Since this won't do, choose another."

The designer suggested hurriedly, "We've one which fits you perfectly, Miss Santos..."

"I've seen that. It's tacky." Clarissa glared at the designer sinisterly and added, "Don't call me Miss Santos. I'm Mrs. Males."

The designer was caught off guard. Tension grew.

Marc frowned. He said calmly to the designer, "You can go. We'll continue later."
