Chapter 5 Never Let Him Down

The following afternoon, Madelyn pushed open the door to her walk-in closet, intending to pick out an appropriate outfit to wear to the class reunion dinner.

The moment she opened it, she was stunned to see a wide variety of clothes of all shapes, colors, and styles.

The walk-in closet was filled to the brim with haute couture, all imported from abroad. Sebastian had personally instructed designers to prepare these for her. Yet, in her previous life, she did not appreciate his efforts and didn’t even bother sparing these exquisite pieces a glance.

Only then did she realize these clothes were all of her favorite styles and were incredibly flattering to her figure.

Knocks sounded at the door, and Lydia arrived carrying a tray of snacks.

She set down the tray, noticing Madelyn was picking out clothes. Despite her surprise, an amicable smile still spread across her face. She could sense that Madelyn had changed.

Upon seeing Lydia, Madelyn seized the opportunity to ask her, “Lydia, did Sebastian have someone send these clothes?”

Lydia chuckled. She had always been fond of Madelyn, and since the latter was behaving surprisingly amiable and cheerful today, she told her the truth. “Yes. Mr. Lockhart personally selected all these designs. He didn’t want me to tell you, probably worried that you might not like them and his efforts would go down the drain. But, I think you must already know Mr. Lockhart’s feelings,” she said, laughing softly.

Madelyn cast her gaze downward, sighing inwardly. It’s just as I expected. I must have been out of my mind back then, mistaking sincerity for pretense and pushing away those who truly care about me. Such a wonderful man was right by my side. How could I have missed it? Luckily, I’ve come back to life. I won’t miss out again in this lifetime. I will never let him down.

After spending a long time deciding, Madelyn settled on an elegant yet stunning dress. She held it up against herself, gauging how she might look in it. Turning to Lydia, she asked, “What do you think? Is it nice?”

Lydia smiled. “With a face as stunning as yours, you’d look beautiful in anything.”

Madelyn was embarrassed. “You flatter me, Lydia.”

Lydia took a few steps inside and opened a wardrobe. “Mrs. Lockhart, there are high heels and designer handbags in here that match the dress. There’s also quite a bit of jewelry. Feel free to wear whatever you like.”

As she spoke, she eagerly brought out several jewelry boxes, presenting them to Madelyn.
