Chapter 51

“You have misunderstood us, Mrs. Thatcher.” If this happened two years back, Victoria’s heart would flutter for such a misunderstanding. Right now, though, she didn’t dare to have such wishful thinking and didn’t want to have anything to do with Christian so that he wouldn’t think that she had ulterior motives.

Her emotions were unnoticed by him, and he smirked while saying, “You can do anything today since you are the birthday girl.”

“You’re so cheeky.” Evelyn smiled and tucked her hair behind her ears before looking over at Victoria. “Does the gown fit well?”

Hearing that, Victoria tilted her head and glanced at Christian.

“I’m asking you a question, but why are you looking at him?” Evelyn was amused.

Hearing that, he casually leaned on the railing and responded, “Probably because I’m better looking?”

“You’re so vain.” Evelyn chuckled as she looked at Victoria and asked, “Why does the gown look different from before, though?”

“My breasts have become smaller; the gown kept slipping down, so they altered it for me.” Victoria moved her body, her cheeks flushing red.

Upon hearing that, Christian furrowed his brows as he took a quick glance at her before looking away.

“I see.” Evelyn seemed to be deep in thought. “Actually, you don’t need to have it altered. If your breasts have become smaller, you can just wear a thicker padding underneath.”

Victoria pursed her lips and was lost for words after hearing Evelyn’s suggestion.

“It’s alright. Don’t be sad. Christian isn’t someone shallow.” Evelyn held onto her hand and patted on it before asking Christian with a smile, “Am I right?”

He merely smirked and kept quiet as he glanced at Victoria.
