When Anne and Lennox’s brother got married, it was done in such haste that they only signed a marriage
certificate but did not hold a wedding banquet.
too?
Now, with Lennox giving her the title of “wife,” I thought, why not help her fulfill her unspoken dream of a wedding
Anne’s expression softened when she heard my words. After all, what woman had not dreamed of being a
beautiful bride?
Perhaps Lennox also felt that what I had just said made sense, so his expression shifted slightly and he
refrained from saying anything further.
Seeing his expression softened, I could see hesitation flash in Anne’s eyes before she tentatively asked, “Can I really try it on?”
I nodded and gestured for the staff to assist her in changing into the wedding dress.
Meanwhile, Lennox had already dressed in his groom suit.
When he saw Anne was about to try on the wedding dress, he started loosening his tie as if ready to change
out of his suit. However, I stopped him. “Anne is pregnant. She’s already uncomfortable as it is. What if something
happens to her and you’re not here to help?”
When he heard this, he stayed at put and stood silently beside me to wait for her, though his unease could be
seen vividly in his eyes.
Noticing the change in his mood, I sneered.
Before long, Anne emerged from the fitting room with the help of the staff.
Since her pregnancy hadn’t started showing yet and she had a similar frame to mine, the wedding dress fit her perfectly.
Anne could not hide the excitement on her face though she tried to curb it by asking timidly, “Lennox, how do I
look in this? Is it nice?”
Her voice drew Lennox from his daze state. His eyes which had lingered on her for a while, turned lucid and he
gave a soft hum.
Just then, another staff member approached and gasped when he saw Anne, “Wow! The gown looks stunning on
you. You two are the most perfect bride and groom I’ve ever seen!”
As soon as she said that, all the faces of those present changed.
Anne cast an anxious glance at Lennox, then forced a polite smile and began to explain, “No, no, you
misunderstood….”
Before she could finish, I clapped my hands together and exclaimed sincerely, “You’re right! Anne looks
absolutely stunning. This dress seems like it was made just for her!”
not let everyone appreciate such a beautiful sight?

Hearing my words, Lennox looked at me with disbelief written across his face.
He knew me too well. I had always been protective of my things, especially something as meaningful as this wedding gown. However, now, not only did I allow someone else to wear it, but I also praised her openly.
He opened his mouth and said, “Kelly, you ….”
I blinked innocently and cut him off as I looked into his eyes. “Relax, I’m just saying. Anyway, I just remembered I have urgent work to finish at the office and have to return to the office in a hurry, so I’ll leave you two to it.”
Without waiting for a reply, I turned and headed straight for the door of the bridal boutique.
When he saw this, Lennox was about to follow me but Anne reached out and stopped him.
As I walked to the wedding boutique’s door, I glanced back and saw Lennox carefully supporting Anne as they headed toward the fitting room. His touch was gentle and his focus solely directed on her as if no one else existed in
his world.
At that moment, I was in a trance. Was it truly responsibility that led him to marry her as he mentioned? Or had he
fallen for her?
I didn’t have the answer and I had no intention of humiliating myself by finding out.
The next day, I arrived at the hospital for the pre–operative examination as scheduled.
When the doctor asked about the child’s father, I replied lightly, “He’s busy with work and couldn’t make it.”
That morning, when I woke up, I had considered telling him about the baby but after several unanswered calls, I
gave up.
By the time the procedure was over, I was pale and weak, so I had to lean against the cold wall for support as I
made my way out of the hospital.
When I walked into the main lobby, I saw Lennox. He was accompanying Anne for a prenatal checkup.
