Chapter 477: Their Own Happiness

Aurora was the star of the evening. Meanwhile, Gemma, without any sense of restraint, was snapping selfies from every angle, drawing the attention of many. People were probably thinking how peculiar her behavior was-clearly someone who had never seen a grand occasion before.

Aurora had changed into the evening gown Julian prepared for her. He, who always wore dark suits, had made an exception today by donning a white one.
