shook her head. "Ms. Clem, all your clothes are in your walk-in closet. What's wrong? Don't you like them?"

ha nodded. "Yeah, I'm not really into pink." Especially that dress she chose-completely hideous.

Looking back, she couldn't believe how clueless she was in her past life, letting Barbara talk her into wearing something so tacky just to please Teddy. Now, it seemed so brainless.

Barbara had always gone on about how Teddy loved seeing her in pink, saying it made her look extra cute. Mona bought into it back then, but now, staring at those clothes, she wondered what she was even thinking. They didn't match her style at all.

"If you don't like them, we'll just get new ones. My precious granddaughter can have whatever she wants. Go grab the latest Clem family dresses and let Ms. Clem pick one," Jane Clem said as she walked in. Mona turned and immediately linked arms with her grandmother, smiling brightly.

Mona still vividly remembered how, in her past life, her grandmother fainted from shock after seeing her broken body from the fall. When Jane finally woke up, it was like she'd aged ten years overnight. "Grandma, you're the the best. I love you and Grandpa the most," Mona said as she snuggled up to Jane. But deep down, she worried about how her grandmother would react once the engagement surprise unfolded later. 'Will she be upset?' Mona wondered. But she knew it wasn't the right time to explain anything yet. If she spilled the beans now, they might cancel the engagement altogether. That would ruin her chance to expose Barbara and Teddy's true colors in front of everyone and completely wreck Barbara's reputation. "Oh, come on now, you're about to get engaged, and you're still acting like a little girl," Jane teased, though her gentle hand brushing through Mona's hair and the warm smile on her face gave away just how much she adored her granddaughter. "Grandma, what if I suddenly decide I don't want to go through with the engagement? Would you be upset?" Mona asked.
