Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79

Khloe’s fingers had barely brushed the delicate tulle of the white gown when Grandma Orsen guided her toward the mirror, spinning her gently. The elderly woman’s eyes lit up.

“Look at this cut-it suits you perfectly. The shoulders sit just right, and if we take in the waist just a little, it’ll be flawless. Miss Roswell, could I ask a favor?”

Before Khloe could answer, Grandma Orsen’s hand brushed lightly against hers. “My granddaughter-in-law- she’s about your size, but rather shy by nature. Could you try these on for her, see which fits best?”

Grandpa Orsen added from the side, “Yes, Miss Roswell. At our age, our sense of style doesn’t match the younger generation’s. You have the eye-we’d be grateful if you could guide us, make sure we don’t pick the wrong dress and upset her.”

Khloe met their expectant gazes and softened. “Don’t worry about it. I’m happy to help. I’ll try each one carefully and check the details for you.”

By the time she had tried on all six gowns, a thin film of sweat had formed at her temple. “Grandma Orsen, please have a seat and rest a bit-you’ve been standing so long.”

The small gesture made Grandma Orsen squeeze Grandpa Orsen’s hand, her eyes bright with affection.

When Khloe slipped into the diamond-studded white mermaid gown, she froze for a moment in front of the mirror. The diamonds scattered across the sheer tulle caught the light with every movement, and for an instant, she was transported back to the memory of her wedding with Trey.

Back then, the Fox family had looked down on her origins, never even preparing a proper wedding dress. She had worn an old gown once belonging to Trey’s mother. But here, in the reflection, she was radiant and dazzling.

“This is it! Look at how the diamonds sparkle-they make your skin glow!” Grandma Orsen clapped her hands in delight.

Grandpa Orsen nodded. “The cut is perfect. Our granddaughter-in-law will look stunning in this. Miss Roswell, if you like any of these, consider them a gift from us.”

Khloe’s eyes softened, earnest. “I’m just helping you try them on. I can’t possibly accept something so precious. One should never receive rewards for unearned effort.”

She had barely changed out of the gown when a tray of matching jewelry was brought forward. Grandma Orsen reached to place a piece on her, but Khloe instinctively stepped back.

“Grandma Orsen, these jewels are far too valuable. Since they are for your granddaughter-in-law, it’s better to wait until she tries them.”

Grandma Orsen opened her mouth to protest, but Grandpa Orsen gently tugged her aside, smiling at Khloe. “You are right. We hadn’t thought it through. We won’t insist. But we do thank you for helping us choose the dresses.”

Khloe exhaled, relieved, and went over a few details of the gowns one last time. Then, noticing the hour, she said quickly, “Grandpa Orsen, Grandma Orsen, I need to return to the office. If you need me to help further, please don’t hesitate to call.”

The elders made no attempt to keep her. The driver took Khloe back to the company, and once she disappeared from sight, Grandpa Orsen immediately called the building manager.

“All the dresses Miss Roswell tried today-alter them to her measurements. Pack up the matching jewelry as well.

Grandma Orsen nodded. “She’s such a sensible girl. If we gave them to her directly, she wouldn’t accept. Better to have them tailored and delivered. When she receives them, she’ll understand.”
