Trapped in Love

Yuliana assisted Caroline in lifting the hem of her gown as they descended the stairs together.

Upon reaching the bottom, Greta eagerly stood up, her eyes welling with tears. “Come, Carol. Let me look at you!”

Evan and Axel turned their attention toward them.

Flabbergasted, everyone turned toward him.

Evan was displeased. “It’s a bit revealing!”

Caroline patiently asked, “How is it revealing when the collar is buttoned up?”

“But the mesh material on the top is revealing!” Evan walked toward the array of gowns, feeling protective of her charming figure.

In front of everyone, he picked a long, light–colored gown and handed it to Caroline. “Put this on.”

Consequently, everyone was rendered speechless.
