His Precious Love

Boniel and Arnaud had changed into their suits and got into a car to attend the party.

Jefferson and Rayna were the only ones left in the manor.

Since Rayna was still waiting for the housekeeper to get her gown from Bruce, she said to Jefferson, “You didn’t have to wait for me and should have gone ahead with your dad. I know the place, anyway.”

“You’re my girlfriend. It’s only right that I go with you.” Pouring a cup of water for her, he asked softly, “Are the babies behaving themselves today? Will they disturb you at the party?”

She also replied in a soft voice, “They’ve been great these two days, so it should be fine tonight. Thank goodness that I haven’t gained any weight and that my belly’s not protruding. If not, I won’t be able to put on a gown.”

Jefferson grinned. “I’ve never seen a chubby version of you. I’m actually looking forward to seeing it.”

“Hey! You’re going too far.”

The two of them only bantered with each other in muted voices for a while more when the housekeeper returned with the gown.

Eyeing the gown, Rayna asked in confusion, “The gown I tried on back then was a long-sleeved, champagne-colored, fishtail gown. Why have you brought a black one instead?”

“Mr. Bruce said the gown was accidentally ruined by his assistant’s cat. This was the only gown in the studio that fit your measurements, Ms. Rayna,” responded the housekeeper.

Displeased, Jefferson reprimanded, “That gown was tailored two months ago, and she really liked the color and the design. How could he simply replace it with another gown when the original one is ruined?”

The housekeeper hung her head in silence.

“Never mind. Let me have a look at the gown,” Rayna said, taking the outfit from her.

The entire gown was hand-stitched and had a narrow waist design. Not only did it have a plunging neckline, but it was also backless. There was also a high slit that extended from the ankle to the thighs. All in all, it was a grand gown that could show off the wearer’s excellent figure.
