Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 168

"Help me try on a dress."

Before Cornelia could refuse, Sallie dragged her into a room filled with dresses, even more than a specialized boutique.

Sallie picked out a deep blue dress from the many options. It had no decorations but looked very classy.

"Go on, give it a try," Sallie handed the dress to Cornelia.

"Alright." Sallie's dresses were rare and valuable. This one surely wasn't cheap, so Cornelia was extra careful while trying it on, afraid of getting it dirty or damaged.

Cornelia didn't know what fabric it was made of, but it felt very delicate and almost weightless on her body, without compromising the quality.

After changing, she stepped out of the dressing room. Sallie's eyes widened. "I've been waiting for the right person to come along all this time, and you just waltzed right in!"

Cornelia, "What?"

Sallie circled around Cornelia, becoming more and more satisfied. "This dress was made by my late master and me. She said it was destined for someone special. I used to worry that I'd die before finding the right person for this dress, but now you're here. Cornelia, only you can bring out the charm of this dress."

Feeling a bit embarrassed by the compliments, Cornelia said, "Ms. Sallie, you're too kind."

"Come on, let's show your man, I mean, President Hartley." Sallie practically dragged Cornelia to the living room. "President Hartley, are you satisfied?"

Marcus looked up and saw Cornelia, whose skin was already great, looking even more flawless against the deep blue color. The perfectly tailored dress hugged her curves, and she looked stunning.

He had seen Cornelia in a dress before and knew she had a great figure. But at this moment, his calm heart was like a lake disturbed by a huge rock, creating ripples of passion.

"Ms. Sallie, I'm just a fitting model. It’s such a precious dress. President Hartley's wife should be more suitable than me." Cornelia occasionally wore dresses, but she usually went for something casual and comfortable.

It would be a waste if this dress, made by two generations, is handed over to someone who does not know how to appreciate it. But Marcus insisted, "Take it. A good dress should find its rightful owner."

Sallie agreed, "I make the clothes, so I decide who suits them best."

The two of them managed to convince Cornelia to accept the expensive dress.

When Cornelia went back to change, Marcus poured Sallie a cup of tea and said, "Thank you for helping me with the act."

Sallie replied, "If I hadn't seen how well Cornelia wore the dress today, I might not have given it to you. Now, consider it as you paid a high price for my prized possession, and I've found the right owner for the dress. No one owes anyone anything."
