Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 390

Perhaps it was because I had always been too lean before, but after having a child, my figure had rounded out a bit. I had developed curves in all the right places, giving me a more feminine look.

Upon seeing me, a glint of admiration flashed through Russel’s eyes. He then quickly composed himself and sincerely complimented me, “You look stunning. That dress suits you.”

“Really? I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to pull it off.” I breathed a sigh of relief. After all, that kind of dress was quite demanding on the figure, and sometimes I was quite concerned about what others thought of me.

“It’s gorgeous. Maybe you could do something with your hair. Perhaps curls would suit you better.” Russel pointed towards my hair and then asked, “Shall I give it a

try? I can do simple curls, just for tonight.”

Russel had that skill too? I was a bit surprised, but I nonetheless handed him the curling iron.

Unexpectedly, Russel’s curling technique was indeed very good. Looking at the large waves in the mirror, I felt a sense of elegance.

“Now, I will apply some makeup.” I was very satisfied with my hair and didn’t notice the change in Russel’s gaze.

As he watched me in the mirror, he lowered his gaze, “All right, I’m going to step out for some fresh air.”

Once Russel had left, I started applying makeup. I used to prefer a natural look and had never truly tried heavy makeup. But today, I decided to give it a go.

After finishing my makeup, I realized Russel hadn’t returned yet. He sent me a message, saying, “I’m waiting in the hotel lobby; come straight down when you’re ready.”

Once I was ready, I prepared to head downstairs.

“Hiram, don’t run off, or daddy will be upset,” I heard a familiar voice just as I reached the elevator.

Karina followed behind him, her voice slightly raised.
