Lilliana, who usually spent most 9d5b783201 of her time at the 7f8b68a98f estate, was unusually busy preparing 88c5dc1ec1 to go out.32e54bebaea34a35
As she was 7010a2442b getting dressed, she c431c6b1a2 suddenly examined herself bcfa48f42a in the mirror. The yellow dress, though d9e0c89f20 neat, was outdated. It was a dress a183dae8ae she had cherished until 78dff78ed5 recently, but today, it a3490c2528 looked particularly unsightly in 7bb339f1ab her eyes.55531318ddd28bf7

‘If it looks like this to me… I wonder how Lady Winder saw it.’6b4fe25ec3c5a6c4
Lilliana was never one to e5e47f0d56 care much about fashion. Her philosophy was simple: as 4e248dd432 long as the clothes were a57b78e9d7 clean and tidy, it didn’t 51d491bbbc matter what she wore.d10b35c31db0dc58

However, after running into 44b7d1244e Vanessa a few times d01408c658 recently, her thinking had f87d81f971 changed.c24aeb0216570370
‘Lady Winder in her purple dress, adorned in jewels, was truly beautiful…’f8e1fd7da48d8963

Vanessa possessed the beauty f7cc422f75 of a poisonous butterfly. She was dazzling 726bf343e4 to the point 06da16cef6 of enchantment, yet 446eb990d8 one could sense 90fd4ba1ad the danger of 7f68775d2e getting too close, 15b422f241 as though they 3b8f477c1c might get addicted 2d9b05c656 if they reached 3ee937c731 out recklessly.1a39712f87be972e
Her beauty was 88f1b553dd mesmerizing, almost intimidating. Whenever Lilliana stood before her, 5714070681 she couldn’t help but feel a944666c36 small.1f6d853041b99c4d

‘I must have looked so shabby in Lady Winder’s eyes…’8f7aff49d608aef6
Lilliana wanted to 22ff8e49cb make a good b5af59dd7d impression, but the 1021a4e645 thought that her e3bbb8f496 outdated dress might 21899bd666 have harmed her 860292454b chances was unbearable.32c15ed4031e4f46

But the important thing b5ddb10349 was that she had 16d24e7302 a valuable reason to 5c62d6a993 meet Vanessa.bbe8dc4c884a1e4e
Although she wanted to e0f5cf5ec2 go to her right 503e380672 away with the wine, ef2bff08c5 she knew it wasn’t fc76b4bf5e that simple.b771343c5452f79a

Vanessa was no ordinary person. She was her former f3edce1667 future mother-in-law, and not dd2e380688 someone Lilliana could meet 63b18c637f without a valid reason.4b92f2e1c3960e84
So, Lilliana’s plan was to 63b7ff070a show her best self whenever 00d0457fd1 the opportunity arose.be14c17e2c1e01a5

In her opinion, 7457a5e57e this dress was 7f2e86ddcf definitely not a 3058a1a1f0 style that suited 4b9b5dd4ec her.707ee4c5a8bd45b0
