95 Trying On the Dress
Caroline was obviously a person who cared a lot about her private space. From the fact that she insisted on buying her own house, it was likely that Caroline would not move in with him after the engagement. Therefore, the house that he had prepared for the wedding was no longer suitable.
In order to be in a favorable position, Edwin decided to move near Caroline. Hence, after Caroline moved in, he sent people to look for a house.
However, the people who could afford to live in this neighborhood were all wealthy. In addition, Edwin had high requirements. He wanted Caroline to live next door or opposite her, so they couldn’t negotiate for a while.
When Edwin heard this, he was a little displeased, but he didn’t say anything. He only urged, “No matter how much it costs, this must be done as soon as possible. It’s the highest priority.”
He really didn’t want to run back and forth like this anymore. He had wasted all his time on the road and didn’t even speak much to Caroline.
“Yes, Sir.” With Edwin’s words, it was much easier for Oleg to persuade them. Under the attack of money, a couple recently couldn’t resist the temptation and sold their house.
Of course, this was a matter of one or two days later. At the moment, the two of them were trying on gowns.
Joline’s design team designed Caroline’s engagement dress. It was a starlight flat-chested tight fishtail dress that highlighted Caroline’s exquisite figure. With her long wavy hair, she looked like a real mermaid princess.
Joline’s eyes were like a searchlight, shining on her from head to toe, not missing even a wrinkle on her dress. Finally, her eyes stopped on her waist. “Have you lost weight again?”
Although it was very subtle, there was still some space left at the waist, and she couldn’t show her best state.
Caroline touched her waist and carefully felt it. The flesh on it was indeed a little tighter than a few days ago. She couldn’t help but exclaim, “Your eyes are really sharp.”
She had been training harder these days, but she didn’t expect Joline to notice such a small change.
“Of course, my eyes are as accurate as rulers.” Joline looked proud.
She majored in fashion design in college. Although she didn’t work in this field later on, she had many design teams under her because she needed a large number of clothes on a daily basis. She had always been at the forefront of fashion.
One look at the creases on Caroline’s waist and she knew that her waist was a little smaller. The clothes were custom-made according to Caroline’s size. Now that the size was too big, there was only one possibility – Caroline had lost weight again.
Joline was a little worried. “It’s not good to be too thin.”
Caroline had no choice but to explain to her, “I’m about ten pounds heavier than before. I look skinny because I’ve been doing physical training recently.”
Joline’s eyes lit up. “What kind of physical training is so effective?” Old Madam Anderson, who was almost 70 years old, still loved to look pretty and was full of energy. “If the effect is so good, can I do it with you?”
Caroline was a little hesitant. The training she did was too harsh and not suitable for people of Joline’s age. “If you need, I can help you customize a plan,” she said tactfully.
It was more suitable for her old body and physical strength, but the effect was not so obvious.
“That would be the best.” Joline also knew that although she thought she was very healthy and strong, she couldn’t be compared to young people, so she nodded understandingly. “Then take off your dress first, and let them tighten the waistline.”
After Caroline took off her clothes and changed into her regular clothes, she came out of the fitting room and realized that there was no one in the room.
“Where’s Joline?” she asked the maid beside her.
“Old Madam said she went back to her room to get a piece of jewelry for you to try on.”
Caroline had no choice but to hand the dress to her and let her bring it to the design team to modify.
After the maidservant left, she waited in the room for almost ten minutes, but Joline still didn’t come back. She called Edwin, but his phone was busy.
Caroline felt that something was amiss. She left the room and met an unfamiliar maid in the corridor.
“Excuse me, do you know where Edwin is trying on his gown?” Just now, Joline thought that he was a hindrance in the room, so she chased him out and asked him to try on clothes in another room.
The maidservant replied respectfully, “Eldest Young Master has already finished trying on the gown. He said that he was going to pick the most beautiful flower for you as an accessory. So, he went to the sunroom on the top floor.”
“If you don’t mind, I can take you to him,” the maidservant suggested.
