Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1248: Smells like vinegar

Penny, Mint, and Lily's eyes twinkled brighter than ever each time Nina came out wearing a new wedding dress. Initially, Nina had been a little reluctant to try them on. However, their reactions made her shy, yet at the same time, encouraged her.

While the assistants helped her with the last dress, Nina stared at her reflection in the full-body mirror. She pursed her lips, her eyes scanning the dress she was wearing.

There hadn't been a set date for the wedding because Nina wanted to have the family meeting first. She wanted the full approval of the elders before moving on to the next step. Even so, seeing herself in a wedding dress filled her with all sorts of emotions.

"I'm getting married," she whispered, making the assistants glance at her and

smile.

"You're a beautiful bride, Miss Reed," one of them said.

Nina lowered her head slightly, offering a smile before setting her eyes back on the mirror. She pressed her lips into a thin line and nodded, agreeing with the compliment for once.

"This dress really makes someone look even more beautiful," she commented. "I think this dress is very pretty."

"And so are you," said the other assistants as they moved to the side, finishing the last touches. The three of them smiled at her approvingly, nodding. "They'll definitely squeal again when they see you in this."

"Haha," Nina chuckled and nodded at them. "Please give me a minute before opening the door."

"As long as you need, Miss Reed. Just let us know when to reveal the dress."

With that, the assistants left her alone for a bit of privacy. As they left, Nina faced the mirror again. Touching her cheek, she couldn't help but smile even more. Since she was trying on the dress, the assistants had offered to do some light makeup.

"Goodness," she let out a shallow breath, her eyes twinkling with a bit of tears. "Seeing myself in a wedding dress... and yet, I'm not sure what to feel."
