It was too short.
It barely covered her thighs.
The neckline was so low that even the slightest movement risked total exposure.
The waist cutouts revealed a strip of skin, and the fabric clung to her body, highlighting her postpartum figure...
Actually, it wasn't as bad as she had imagined.
Her waist was slightly thicker than before, but it still looked completely normal—she used to be incredibly slender, after all.
The white lace managed to obscure the stretch marks on her stomach.
And her chest... well, it was certainly fuller than before her pregnancy.
Seraphina stared at her reflection for a few seconds as a flush crept all the way down her neck.
No way! Absolutely not!
She couldn't entertain this thought any longer.
She was just about to take it off when she heard the bathroom door open in the bedroom.
"Sera?"
Lucian was out of the shower.
Seraphina frantically tried to peel the lingerie off, but the lace got tangled up, and the more she panicked, the more stuck she became.
"Sera? Are you in there?" Lucian walked over and knocked on the door.
"I... I'm in here!" Seraphina's voice trembled. "Don't come in!"
But the moment she spoke, the door handle turned.
She had forgotten to lock it.
As the door swung open, Seraphina instinctively spun around, turning her back to him.
But the mirror betrayed her.
Standing in the doorway, Lucian caught full view of her reflection.
The air went completely still for two seconds.
Then, Lucian stepped inside and shut the door behind him.
"D-don't come any closer," Seraphina whispered, clutching her chest, her voice as quiet as a mouse.
Lucian ignored her plea.
He stepped up behind her, wrapping one arm around her waist while his other hand gently pulled away her defensive arms.
His gaze locked onto her reflection in the mirror, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
"Didn't you say you didn't want it?"
His voice was husky.
Seraphina refused to meet his eyes, keeping her head bowed. "...Tiffany forced it on me."
Lucian's fingers gently traced the skin exposed by the waist cutouts. "Mhm. Then why did you put it on?"
