The customized wedding gown was pure white with brilliant diamonds scattered along the sweetheart neckline. The long satin trail had been delicately embroidered with patterns of jasmine. The flower that Debbie loved the most.
The gown was fit for a princess, and the dreamy, romantic style was what many girls would dream of wearing on their wedding day.
As Debbie slowly approached the gown, she was already mesmerized by it. She then quickened her pace and reached out, touching it gently.
The beauty and elegance of the gown took her breath away, but for Debbie, it wasn't just about the wedding gown. Ever since Debbie was twenty-one, she had dreamed of marrying Carlos in such a gown.
Now, she was nearly twenty-seven, and her dream had finally come true.
"Try it on?" Carlos' tender voice rang from behind her all of a sudden, interrupting her train of thoughts.
She trailed her fingers lightly across the sparkling diamonds. "Is the dress..." 'Rented or bought? Or customized?' she wondered.
Carlos read her mind. He wrapped his arm around her waist and nuzzled her neck while whispering in her ear, "My wife deserves the best things in the world. How is it possible for me to buy you anything ordinary? Let alone if it's a wedding dress for you. I hired a famous design team one year ago. They have spent a whole year designing and tailoring it, especially for you. The dress had just arrived here from abroad."
Debbie was touched, and her eyes brimmed with tears. 'So he began to prepare our wedding a year ago?'
He then turned her to face him and gazed into her teary eyes. "You know, before the car accident, I had begun to select the wedding venue. I was preparing everything, but our lives had changed abruptly. So our wedding had been postponed up until now. Honey, I'm sorry that I made you suffer a lot. I won't let that happen again, and I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you."
She saw the deep affection in his eyes, and her tears threatened to gush out at any moment. Debbie quickly raised her head to hold them back, but it was too late. Her tears streamed down her cheeks like a river. Carlos didn't expect that his words would make her so emotional.
Hastily, he pulled out a handkerchief and dabbed away her tears. "Honey, don't cry. It should be a happy thing to try on a wedding dress, right?"
He was right. Debbie quickly wiped away her tears and told the manager, "Please bring it to me. I'll try it on now."
"Yes, Mrs. Huo."
When the manager and other staff went to prepare the dress for Debbie, she secretly planted a kiss on Carlos' cheek. "Honey, thank you." She felt so happy that this man always gave her big surprises.
Carlos groaned and wanted to return a hungry, passionate kiss. Knowing his intention, Debbie cheekily put her hand on his lips, stopping him and then laughed heartily.
"Tsk, tsk. Who's the happiest woman in the world?" The sound of a familiar voice came from behind them out of the blue.
They turned their heads and saw Kinsley leaning against the wall of the wedding studio, casually observing them. They had no idea how long he had been there.
Kinsley nodded slightly and raised his eyebrows at them.
"Well, if it isn't the big star? Why are you here?" Debbie asked as she leaned into Carlos, staring at the man dressed in a low-key style today.
Kinsley straightened up and pulled a woman out from the corner behind him and said, "See? My girlfriend. I heard that Mr. Huo had ordered a wedding gown from this shop. So I want to customize one for my girl too." He turned to eye one of the salesladies in the studio and asked, "Hi gorgeous. I'm Carlos' friend. Could I expect a discount?"
Debbie didn't know the woman standing next to Kinsley, but Carlos did. It was Carlos who found this woman and sent her to Kinsley one year ago.
The saleslady recognized Kinsley as the hot idol. She was so shy that she stammered, "Y-yes... Of course...you can..."
Debbie waved "hello" to his girlfriend and teased him, "I remember your home is in A Country. Why do you have to pick out a wedding gown here in Y City? Don't tell me there aren't any wedding stores in your country."
"No, there aren't. So please ask your husband to open a chain store there. Whenever I get married, I'll certainly go there and take our wedding photos."
Debbie was at a loss for words.
Whether he was joking or not, his words hurt the woman next to him.
