No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 761

The moment I felt the fabric of the dress, I knew it was expensive, yet she handed it to me without hesitation. This gesture stirred a mix of gratitude and guilt within me.

Because, truth be told, I had been scheming against her, yet here she was, genuinely caring for me.

"Ma'am, this dress is too precious. I can't accept it," I declined.

"Oh, don't be silly. It's just a dress," she dismissed my concerns. Her attitude and the way she seemed to let go of material attachments made me feel even guiltier for trying to take advantage of her. But if I didn't, Ernest and I might not have survived.

"Is something the matter?" she noticed my unease.

She nodded slightly, "I know."
