Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 100. The Spotlight

“Wow….” Ava gasped involuntarily.

Even though her voice was very thin, Jeremy’s ears caught it. The corners of his lips rose slightly.

“Do you like it?”

Ava raised her gaze, full of emotion. “Yes, it’s very beautiful. Thank you, Jeremy. Mister Jeremy,” she corrected swiftly.

Jeremy did his best to suppress a smile and nodded.

“Ava,” Emily’s sweet voice sounded, “can you show us the dress? I’m curious about the model Uncle chose. It must look very beautiful.”

“Yes, Ava. Show us!” Louis nodded with round eyes.

Ava put the box on the chair. After a while, a lilac evening dress was spread out. The model was simple, but looked elegant. When the gold thread on it reflected the light, everyone forgot to blink.

“Uncle, isn’t that a limited edition dress? It was alongside the dres designed in the most anticipated fashion of the new year!”

Louis blinked, turning to his sister. “Is that dress you mentioned

before?”

“Yes, the ornaments are made from real gold thread! The price is many times more than the dress I designed which has an economica minimalist concept.”

Eva widened her eyes when she heard that. Her lips trembled. Her body was getting hotter. She was a boutique owner. Of course she had to have a dress better than Ava’s. But with that gold-embellished dress, how could she possibly beat her?

Meanwhile, Ava was still stunned. “This is real gold? It’s so expensive?

Her tone became heavy with guilt.

Jeremy shook his head briefly. “Don’t tell anyone, but I got a discount. It’s not that expensive.”

Ava knew Jeremy was lying. “I can’t accept this dress if the price is exorbitant. I feel like I’m not worth it. What if I ruin it? And I think this dress will be wasted if it’s on my body.”

Several people shook their heads in unison. “In fact, I think that dress was meant for you. You two are both calm and elegant.” Vivian nodded gently.

“Yes, that dress suits you, Ava. Wear it to Auntie’s wedding. You will definitely be the most beautiful guest.” Emily cupped her chubby cheeks and tilted her head.

“That dress can lose its shine if someone else wears it. Don’t waste it, Ava,” Kara shook her head with a meaningful smile.
