The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 802

"It's not exactly my style. Saint Di's all about prim and proper dresses fit for a demure lady. I'm definitely not that," Rowena grumbled. However, as her eyes landed on a particular dress, she could not help but be drawn in.

Noelle caught a glimpse and instantly knew Rowena was smitten. She waved someone over. "Hey, could you help me get one of these?" Noelle flipped through the catalog and pointed at a particular outfit.

The sales associate hesitated, but considering Noelle's apparent connection to Winter, she reluctantly approached. However, her face fell upon seeing the design Noelle was interested in. "Sorry, but that one's not for sale."

"Not for sale?" Noelle arched an eyebrow. "Why's that?"

"It's just not, okay? Why all the questions?"

"Hmm." Noelle smiled slyly. "Is this how Saint Di treats its customers?"

"What's going on?" Winter, catching the commotion, snapped her catalog shut and strolled over. "Noelle, show me which one caught your eye."

Her face twisted into an awkward grimace as she saw the outfit. "Oh Noelle, my bad. I already claimed that one. It's supposed to be a gift for..."

"Wait, so why did the salesperson just say it wasn't for sale?" Rowena chimed in, unable to hold back. "Winter, didn't you say you were gifting us something? Why are you backing out after we made our decision?”

Rowena's tone was confrontational, putting Winter in an uncomfortable spot. Winter furrowed her brow. "I... I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you. Maybe try looking for another one?" Winter let out a sigh. "Saint Di has tons of other styles. Why can’t you pick a different outfit?”

"I've got my heart set on this one!"
