Lilliana, who usually f33e34a4e1 spent most of b913e3471e her time at ead983c9dd the estate, was 1af77a61e8 unusually busy preparing 2afb637e6b to go out.1cba7bca39ff7cec
As she was 97ffb2f49e getting dressed, she c6bb6af083 suddenly examined herself 122bd02dfc in the mirror. The yellow dress, fa6c6988f7 though neat, was b48438a91d outdated. It was a dress 748fce1a4f she had cherished until 923742c67f recently, but today, it 3406aaa416 looked particularly unsightly in 4f0504e1e1 her eyes.55f8b258d5d08df8

‘If it looks like this to me… I wonder how Lady Winder saw it.’c18e86364d10a9c8
Lilliana was never one to 08e34c2054 care much about fashion. Her philosophy was c02b6b0635 simple: as long dfb1abcde0 as the clothes 1c7f054a67 were clean and 128d0fbd83 tidy, it didn’t c0de77be24 matter what she d10b0e09a9 wore.c65542dc4d0e2a7d

Vanessa possessed the beauty of e74377a2b1 a poisonous butterfly. She was dazzling to f499eb50bf the point of enchantment, c49e839712 yet one could sense 85d533fff5 the danger of getting e84447c99c too close, as though 97a2dea090 they might get addicted 6667b6b254 if they reached out 77279538cc recklessly.616f6b2db762681b
Her beauty was 70e669c59a mesmerizing, almost intimidating. Whenever Lilliana stood before her, 3c858bf263 she couldn’t help but feel 453feca36e small.a28c7c86569538fd

But the important thing c105fd1d71 was that she had 40e41f2a8e a valuable reason to 2b7ea63a6f meet Vanessa.e4fc6ba45bb3b5ab
