The Luna Choosing Game

Chapter 0221

I tried to get into the moment, imagining Terry saying something like that to me. The softness in Julian’s

eyes kept me from falling to far into the fantasy.

I cleared my throat. “Don’t you find the trends of modern fashion tiresome? Not to mention wasteful. Why should I throw away a perfectly good dress simply because I have worn it once before.”

“A woman’s dress adds to her beauty. You wouldn’t put a rose inside a paper vase.”

“I wouldn’t pluck the rose at all.”

Julian’s mouth twitched upright. “Not even to show off its beauty. You’d keep it hidden away on some

bush in the corner of the garden?”

“Anyone who knows where the rose bush is, would know they could easily go see the beauty for

themselves. There’s no need to dress it up.”

Julian hummed.

I looked at him, surprised. “What? No good?”

“No, you did fine. The problem is we need to teach you to stop engaging with him at all.”

“How?”
