My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 164

Melanie stood up and slowly walked over to Lily. She circled Lily and viewed her from every angle, unable to hide the astonishment in her eyes.

"Beautiful! Absolutely stunning! Your beauty is one in a million. Loid is one unbelievably lucky guy to get such an amazing wife."

Melanie felt a little dismayed. Though Loid was her son, she didn't feel pleased with the thought of Lily being tainted by anyone else—not even her own son.

This was the first time Lily had been praised in this way. She felt a little awkward. Looking down at the gown she was wearing, she commented, "You're exaggerating it."

Melanie had great taste. She had chosen a pure white evening gown with intricate embroidery decorating the waistline. The dress was form-fitting, highlighting Lily's slender waist.

Lily was more on the skinny side. The dress accentuated her curves in all the right places. She was naturally fair. With her long hair draped over her shoulders, she looked beautiful in an ethereal and suffocating way. She was so gorgeous that one would want to keep her in a safe place out of everyone's sight.

Lily had never tried on this kind of garment. Looking at her reflection, she was a little surprised at how good she looked. However, the neckline was a bit low. If she were careless, she would accidentally expose herself inappropriately.

She turned to Melanie and asked, "Isn't this a bit too low cut?"

"No. This is just right. You haven't seen those with even lower necklines. Evening gowns don't look so nice when the neckline is too high," Melanie replied, all smiles.

The more she looked at Lily, the prouder she felt of her daughter-in-law.

With that, Lily turned back and said no more. Since Melanie and Loid liked it, she was okay with it too.

After Lily changed out of the dress, Melanie took her to a beauty salon.

Lily had never been to such a place before. The staff led her to a massage table and began various treatments on her face. She couldn't stand the smell of the salon's products and got up.

Melanie hurried over and stopped her. "You're not done with your treatments yet. Lie back down."
