Chapter 477
Soon afterwards, he placed a large plate of steaming fried eggs on the table.
“Start eating. I’ll bring the toast out.”
Then he returned to the kitchen.
Touched by how he’d decided to take care of her, Natalie happily sighed, picked up a fried egg into her plate, and ate it.
Moments later, Brandon placed the toast and b**ter in front of her and said, “I have something to tell you.”
Natalie raised her head while carefully taking a bite of her toast, and said, “Go ahead.”
“Prepare yourself.”
He paused.
“I think we should go to the charity party tonight.”
“Didn’t you just turn it down yesterday?” Natalie asked, bemused.
Selecting his own fried egg with a fork, Brandon said, “I mulled it over some more. There have been so many rumors about us. People think our marriage has fallen apart. Ever since we got back together, we haven’t even once appeared in public.”
“But we hardly ever showed up in public even back then.”
Natalie didn’t like turning their love into a big display for the crowds. lt was too ostentatious, and their love was for them and them alone, not for the entertainment of the public.
“At the very least, they should know that you are still my wife, Mrs. larson.”
Brandon insisted.
The truth was that Brandon did want to make sure everyone knew that Natalie was his wife. He was tired of people thinking of her as Draco’s girlfriend anymore.
After pondering over the situation for a while, Natalie sighed and said, “Okay. Anyway, Laney is going to be at the chanty dinner as well. Maybe we can meet up with her there.”
On the night of the charity dinner…
“Have you seen my dress?”
Natalie hadn’t been to such a glamorous event for a long time, and a lot of her dresses were packed away.
“Put on this dress.”
Seeing that she was obviously nervous, Brandon smiled at her reassuringly and took out a box from the closet.
“What’s this?”
As a fashion designer, Natalie could tell from the outside of the box that the dress must have been tailor-made. lt also looked familiar. She was sure that she had seen this dress in a magazine a long time ago.
“This is from my mother’s collection. The dress has been slightly altered. But if you don’t like it, I’ll find you another one,” Brandon said breezily.
Surprise. Natalie responded quickly, “No, I’d love to wear it.”
Natalie wasn’t only willing to try it on. She practically couldn’t wait to get changed! The dress’ style was a bit old-fashioned, but the fabric was clearly high quality, made of the finest silk.
It was a striking dark green in color and looked like a vintage dream.
Natalie walked out in the dress and immediately began admiring herself in the mirror. She caressed the delicate fabric and sighed, “It’s beautiful.”
Brandon examined her carefully and murmured, “But also, I think, a bit too simple.”
He turned to Sean and ordered, “Go bring us my mother’s jewelry.”
“No. This event is for charity. We shouldn’t be too dressed up.”
Natalie stopped him. She didn’t want to be the center of attention for the evening.
Brandon considered her words for a while and then whispered a few of his own to Sean
Natalie was unaware of Brandon’s conversation with Sean.
When Sean came back, he was carrying a red velvet box.
