Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 80

"I've arranged for another dress for you, it'll be here soon," Lysander insisted firmly.

But how could a hastily prepared dress compare to Splendid, especially one designed and crafted by its founder? It was rare and unique!

Giselle didn't want to take it off. She was ready to make a fuss, but noticing the cold expression on Lysander's face, she dared not say anything more.

Still, she couldn't just take it off without a fight. "I'll take it off after I've given my speech on stage..."

"No." Lysander's response was immediate and absolute.

Giselle clenched her teeth, swallowing her protests. Yet, she couldn't help but ask, "Lysander, who's trying to harm me?"

Lysander glanced at her, replying coolly, "I've already taken care of it."

That was his way of telling her to drop the subject.

Giselle had no choice but to bite her tongue, though she was determined to find out who was behind it all once she got home. She wouldn't let anyone who dared cross her get away with it!

Soon, the new dress arrived, and Giselle reluctantly changed into it.

Though this gown was also expensive and beautiful, it couldn't compare to the Moonblush Roses. Moreover, changing right after the performance would surely spark gossip.

Feeling downcast, Giselle leaned against Lysander, shedding tears pitifully.

"Lysander, come home with me tonight, won't you? It's been days since you stayed at my place. Adrian and I miss you."

With Adrian living at the Harvey family estate, it served as a convenient excuse.

Hearing this, Lysander, feeling guilty about the dress incident and considering the matter with Adrian, nodded in agreement.

...

The deep winter night descended.
