Chapter 37
Jerry couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Silas‘ attitude. He said, “Come on, darling, head to the fitting room. I’ve got your dress ready.”
Bethany was caught off guard by his words. “You’re… going to help me try it on?”
It didn’t matter whether Jerry shared Silas‘ preference. He was still a man.
Jerry chuckled. “You’re funny! I’d love to, but someone wouldn’t let me. My assistant, Mary Wilson, is waiting for you in the back.”
When Bethany spotted the purple–haired beauty at the back, she finally relaxed.
When Mary opened the fitting room door, Bethany was struck dumb by the wedding dress waiting inside.
Under the warm lighting, the dress looked like moonlit grapevines, with folds around the neckline spilling an entire purple galaxy.
“Did Mr. Carlson design this?” Bethany asked.
Mary smiled. “Do you like it?”
“I do.”
That reply came from the bottom of her heart.
The lavender color settled deep in her soul.
Bethany watched her reflection in the mirror. The off–shoulder bodice was adorned with soft, glowing white pearls. Gold threads glimmered delicately along her waist, perfectly hugging her slender curves.
The skirt fluffed out in three layers. The top was like the mist before dawn, the middle was like dew–kissed lavender, and the bottom was sprinkled with countless diamonds, as if the Milky Way had been woven into the tulle.
“Are you done?” Silas‘ gentle voice came from outside the fitting room.
Mary opened the fitting room door.
Bethany stifled her excitement. Lifting the voluminous skirt, she walked slowly toward Silas, the long train flowing behind her. She looked like a princess bathed in starlight.
His Adam’s apple bobbed, and his eyes barely hid the flutter beneath.
“How do I look?” she asked nervously.
Silas smiled faintly. “You look good.”
“Good is an understatement! Darling, you’re stunning! It’s worth every second I spent on this!” Jeremy exclaimed.
Bethany smiled softly at her stunning reflection in the mirror. “Thank you. I really love this wedding dress.”
Later, Jerry brought out two more masterpieces for Bethany to try. Each one made her feel like a princess straight out of a fairy tale. She loved them all.
“Did you design all of these?” she asked.
Jerry paused, glanced at Silas on the couch, then pressed his lips together. He replied, “Not all. The first purple one was a collaboration.”
The first one was Bethany’s favorite.
As they left the store, she thanked Silas. “Thanks, but those must be expensive, right?”

Although the store was modest, Bethany could tell that the diamonds on that dress were real.
