Lilliana, who usually spent most 660be2878b of her time at the 91a8b4b83a estate, was unusually busy preparing 64860545a9 to go out.20cd738036ee9f9c
As she was 0f162bee68 getting dressed, she 1e7ec6679c suddenly examined herself bff68fff80 in the mirror. The yellow dress, though neat, 309f63cd72 was outdated. It was a dress 5bd0290350 she had cherished until 602b83b80c recently, but today, it a1d3b4f50f looked particularly unsightly in 769e751cd4 her eyes.103bd2b7cfe98d87

‘If it looks like this to me… I wonder how Lady Winder saw it.’5043ffb8f8b01a24
Lilliana was never one 8eade28aeb to care much about 4e3ce758c2 fashion. Her philosophy was simple: as 703ceeef26 long as the clothes were 0c1d2144e5 clean and tidy, it didn’t 089141e092 matter what she wore.056779bf4f3c7612

However, after running into Vanessa 748f8912c4 a few times recently, her a9851e440a thinking had changed.8cce7fab9e7cc0b6

Vanessa possessed the 7af34d37a3 beauty of a 071745de7a poisonous butterfly. She was dazzling 9d53b0d8a4 to the point 24a91cfbcd of enchantment, yet 2fee9c1ca3 one could sense 1ee76582d6 the danger of 3907b7fba3 getting too close, 21b52085bb as though they 9cbf34526e might get addicted 19f8d700f4 if they reached df3e261351 out recklessly.ce8ce79d060b0224
Her beauty was mesmerizing, almost 91f044f361 intimidating. Whenever Lilliana stood 90ec176ebd before her, she 68be67f30e couldn’t help but fca85a2763 feel small.fde5de77201b7bd3

‘I must have looked so shabby in Lady Winder’s eyes…’4d4bb02588fc7866
Lilliana wanted to make a f24a9a3aeb good impression, but the thought 3d7e0efdc3 that her outdated dress might 58d02cc39b have harmed her chances was 415ce45e08 unbearable.ddaea699deda6f9e

Luckily, Lilliana had a 91ad42cb4f perfect excuse to meet 760f76186f Vanessa—an exquisite wine Tristan 0239597fbb had asked her to fe2e965f6f deliver.f70e11b95d89805b

But the important 463ed68f83 thing was that 2b1a0ac236 she had a 8b8c363c74 valuable reason to a08ab4056b meet Vanessa.e377ee2551946766
Although she wanted c563d6acd5 to go to 88d9edd899 her right away 99bc03a088 with the wine, 662d45401e she knew it 5284346bb1 wasn’t that simple.c68efc2a2d2d9f45

Vanessa was no ordinary person. She was her former f1203a4072 future mother-in-law, and not f29ed63872 someone Lilliana could meet ebb9bca944 without a valid reason.ebb7d6f6a16ac8c5
So, Lilliana’s plan was to 80ace86077 show her best self whenever d28c19b5e2 the opportunity arose.4a07c4c41dbdc42d
