Madeline caressed the most beautiful dress she had specially set aside and asked Thomas beside her, “Do you think Natasha will come today?”

Thomas paused.

He didn’t know either.

The invitation had been sent, but Natasha gave no response at all.

Thomas had a faint feeling she wouldn’t, but also held a sliver of hope that she would come.

Natasha loved Madeline, her mother, greatly. When she was little, and Olivia snatched her toys, clothes, or dolls, her deepest sorrow wasn’t losing things she liked. Instead, she would tearfully ask her brother with apprehension and grievance when he visited her at night, “Does Mommy not love me anymore? Thomas, am I a bad child?”

Later, day after day, the family grew accustomed to letting Olivia choose all gifts first. Natasha also grew up and never again asked Thomas such childish questions.

However, whenever Madeline fell ill, Natasha was always the most well–behaved and considerate, especially compared to the busy Thomas and mischievous Noel. Even if she couldn’t help with the illness, she would follow Madeline like a cute little shadow until Madeline recovered.

His prolonged silence made Madeline turn her face and subtly wipe her eyes.

She said casually, “Natasha likes green, but the dress I originally wanted was already sold. I don’t know if she’ll like this one. Natasha looks beautiful in red, too.”

She remembered Natasha’s childhood appearance and smiled, “Back then, because Natasha was so pretty, many naughty boys liked playing with her. Some even approached me and your dad, wanting us to become in–laws.”

She looked at the dress with emotion, “Natasha has grown up, and she’s still beautiful.”

Natasha was growing gracefully and flourishing in a corner they didn’t know

about.

“Mom, Edgar from the Turner family is also hosting a birthday party today,” Thomas said. He didn’t want to upset Madeline, so he could only remind her gently,

Madeline’s smile faded, and she murmured, “Yes, Natasha has a boyfriend now…”

She was about to get married.

Madeline put down the dress, sat at the dressing table, and tiredly rubbed her temples. “Thomas, you go outside, and I’ll sit here for a while.”
