Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 209

Janice spent the entire day in the study. Aside from a slight ache in her waist, she felt no discomfort. Stretching lightly, she opened the door and called out, "Mrs. Moore."

Barbara, who was in the guest room across the hall, heard her and stepped out. "Mrs. Moore, I've finished the restoration. Take a look."

"You spent the entire day working on it? I thought—" Barbara was stunned. She had assumed Janice was working on her own projects, so she hadn't disturbed her and only occasionally checked to ensure she was still fine. But when she saw the fully restored artifact, her astonishment deepened.

It was impossible to tell that it had ever been damaged. Only by running a hand over it could one detect the restoration work. The crochet skill required for this was nothing short of genius.

"Janice, thank you! You need to rest now. And dinner will be ready soon. I'm making a full spread just for you." Barbara was overjoyed.

When Janice lay down to rest for a while, Barbara snapped a photo of the restored artifact and sent it to both families' group chats.

Barbara: "Look at what my future daughter-in-law can do! Isn't she amazing?" Myra: "She fixed it already? You can't even see any traces of damage!"
