once again. “Didn’t you say you were gonna wear a traditional gown? Traditional gowns don’t have zips.”Xavier knew exactly what game Yulissa was playing, and he didn’t want to participate.The only reason he gave her those pieces of jewelry was because Winnie accidentally broke her bracelet.Having been turned down yet again, Yulissa removed her dress entirely and walked out of the dressing room with nothing but her undergarments on.“Xavier.” Yulissa climbed onto the bed and hugged him from the back. “You promised to give this a shot, and we both need to make an effort to make this work.
