At that moment, someone walked in with a smile and said, “Mrs. Presgrave.”
“Miss Lorelai,” the three girls said as they turned around to greet her.
“Go and grab a bite!” Lorelai said to them.
The three girls left since they knew their place. As Lorelai looked at Anastasia, her eyes were filled with awe and envy. She was familiar with everything about Anastasia including Anastasia’s childhood, but she had no idea about the power that transformed this girl into who she was now.
Anastasia’s calmness, elegance, and self confidence at the time seemed to be Elliot’s special preference for her, and Lorelai thought that the confidence came from the child they shared.
“You’re breathtaking. Seeing you makes me want to find love right away.” Lorelai sighed.
“What kind of person do you want your partner to be?” Anastasia asked, a curious expression on her face.
“I haven’t met a man who makes my heart skip a beat,” Lorelai said as she smiled and shook her head.
“I hope you find your soulmate soon,” Anastasia said sincerely to her.
“Thank you,” Lorelai responded as she reached for Anastasia’s wedding gown. Anastasia accepted Lorelai’s kindness.
Anastasia looked at the time after Lorelai had finished arranging her dress and said, “In one hour’s time, it will be an auspicious time. I heard that the guests have arrived. The island will be bustling today.”
At this point, steady footsteps could be heard from the stairs. The door was then pushed open to reveal Elliot entering with a black suit. Instead of his usual tie, he was wearing a black bow tie, and the dark sapphire cufflinks exuded an exceptional and extravagant aura, making him more mature and attractive.
He looked best with his hair slicked back, and his hair was combed behind his head. His sharp facial features made him appear charming and fashionable.
