Chapter 521
Mobius felt like he’d been played, but when he saw Esther looking at him with those puppy eyes, his irritation melted away.
“You really want to get engaged? This isn’t just a sudden decision?” he asked Esther with a serious expression.
“Of course. I’ve wanted to do this since I was sixteen and it never changed in the past three years!” Esther had waited three years for him. After all she went through in the past three years, she was even more sure about her feelings for Mobius and stayed true to it.
“Alright, I’ll do whatever you say after this.” His tone was serious, but at the same time, it was a bit frustrating.
Esther knew that the strict life of being under surveillance would return, but it didn’t matter to her. She was going to be with Mobius, and that was all that mattered.
They all laughed, relieved that the young couple was finally taking a serious step.
The engagement was now officially on their calendar, set for the twentieth of May.
Pearl led Esther to Cerubleu’s underground exhibition room. When Esther saw the elegant dinner dresses, she finally realized how foolish it was to have fought with Jenny in a different wedding dress store. She almost missed out on these beautiful dresses.
“Pick any dress you like.”
Clothes were meant to be worn, and since Esther’s size was similar to Pearl’s, they should fit her as well.
Esther happily chose a dress to try on and emerged from the fitting room blushing. She twirled in front of the mirror, and the pink dress fanned out.
“It’s so beautiful, Pearl. How do I look?” she asked with a giggle. She knew she was going to stun‘ Mobius!
Pearl nodded in approval. “You look stunning, but there’s something missing.”
She retrieved a pearl necklace from a box and placed it around Esther’s neck. With the addition of the necklace, she looked even more exquisite. “There, now you’re dressed perfectly for your engagement.
Esther was curious about Pearl’s own attire. “What are you going to wear?”
Pearl smiled mysteriously and pointed to a simple, plain white dress with no embellishments. It lacked the glitz and glamour of a wedding gown, appearing quite ordinary.
Esther was puzzled. “That dress looks so plain.”
“You’ll see on the day of the engagement,” Pearl said with a wink, putting Esther’s worries to rest. She trusted that Pearl wouldn’t make a mistake on her own engagement day.
Esther admired herself in the mirror, imagining her engagement day.
On the day of the engagement, Enswood came alive because it was the engagement party of
two Waldorfs, a Sanders, and the granddaughter of a Jordan.
Even though Pearl didn’t have much contact with the Jordans, they sent an engagement gift. However, it wasn’t from Ezra but from Blake, along with a letter.
[Pearl, how could you not invite me to your engagement party? I can’t attend because I need to take care of Grandpa, but do you know how upset he is? I’ll try to sneak out for your wedding and bring a big gift with me.]
His tone seemed humble.
