Ryan’s breath was a little ragged as he reached out and pinched my cheek. “There’s a makeup artist waiting for you upstairs. Let her give you a makeover.”

“How did you manage to set all this up?” I asked in surprise, letting him lead me out by the hand.

“I just want you to look absolutely stunning in front of my friends,” Ryan said gently.

The makeup artist was already waiting for me upstairs. Once I sat down, Ryan leaned in and said, “When you’re ready, just take the second elevator on the left to come back down.”

My mind was a mess, but I gave him a small nod.

The makeup artist was a total pro–she picked a hairstyle that really suited my face.

She gave me this rich, youthful princess vibe. My hair was thick and fell all the way to my waist, and the wispy locks at my temples were soft and girlish. When she twisted the two braids at my forehead, my perfect hairline was on full display.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I hardly recognized the person staring back at me–but she was beautiful.

Seeing myself like this, I suddenly remembered how I looked in my wedding dress.

Back then, my face still had that baby fat, and when I smiled, it was like a flower blooming in spring.

Now, I had a more mature allure. The same style, but now it was a different kind of beauty–one that came with experience.

I lowered my eyes, nervously clutching my dress in my lap.

Just then, I saw Edward standing at the door, and it looked like he’d noticed how anxious I was, clutching at my skirt.
