Ex-husband’s Regret

Jane said, "I knew you would love it, so hurry and try it on."

I put on the dress layer by layer.

I thought the waistline would be tight, so I took a breath and asked Jane to button it for me first.

Once I borrowed the dress, I could slim down a bit before the wedding day, and it would fit perfectly. But surprisingly, I didn't feel any urgency.

"It fits quite well, it doesn't seem like any alterations are needed. You can loosen the bust area a bit later."

Jane turned me toward the mirror, clearly amazed. "It really suits you! You look beautiful!"

Looking at my reflection, I felt satisfied, this was the dress I had always wanted.

As for the suit, I knew without Frank trying it on that it would look great on him.

"I don't think it needs alterations. The bust area looks a bit tight now, but it will loosen up soon."

Jane understood and opened the door, calling for the host.

The host came in, eyes brightening. "It looks like it was made just for you."

Then he said, "I can't lend this dress..."

"Wait, if it's tailored for me, why can't you lend it? Didn't we agree?" Jane asked, confused.

The host quickly explained, "I want to give it to you."

"When my ancestors passed, they mentioned finding someone fated. We didn't know how to define 'fate' until today when we met this young lady." "Yes, yes, this is fate."

Jane was suddenly delighted but, after exchanging a glance with me, added, "But I can't accept something for nothing..."

The host waved his hand. "It's just two dresses. Although they seem valuable now, they're really nothing special."

How could that be true?

The craftsmanship was exquisite, and the silk and fabric were of high quality.

It was clear this came from a wealthy family back in the day.

I said, "Some things can't be measured by value. This dress has been well-preserved and still holds its charm, it's evident how much you cherish it. Although it can't be measured by value, I still can't just take it The host waved his hand again. "If I say it's a gift for a fated person, then it is. If you really feel bad about it, just agree to one request."

"Go ahead."

"Take good care of this dress. I hope from you, it can meet another fated person."

"Okay."

I stopped refusing and accepted.

On the way back, I held onto the two dresses tightly, reluctant to let go.

Jane looked at me and smiled. "You really should thank me for this."This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I nodded. "Of course."

When we got back to Region Gardens, as soon as we exited the elevator, I heard renovation noises coming from next door. Jane heard it too and said, "If I had known they were selling, I would have bitten the bullet and bought it to be your neighbor." "Welcome back."

Just as Jane and I sat down, my mom came in carrying Sparrow, smiling brightly.

"Did you hear the renovation noise next door?"

I chuckled. "Mom, are you taking Sparrow to watch the excitement?"

My mom shook her head. "No, I wanted to check out our house."

"What?" Jane and I asked in unison.

My mom explained, "I initially wanted you to move to the Cloud, but Frank wouldn't agree. I thought about 'buying a house nearby to help take care of the baby and give you and Frank some space. But Frank felt our current place was small, so he bought the one next door. Later, they'll connect the two, giving everyone their own space and making it easier to care for the baby, plus more room for entertainment." I felt they were exaggerating, thinking about putting all those entertainment features in the house.
