Chapter 128:

Kallie was taken aback by Rachel’s words. How could Rachel have known the clothes were in bad condition before?

Kallie had considered confiding in Rachel but hesitated, fearing it might upset her. Instead, Kallie resolved to attempt the repairs herself first, planning to disclose the truth only if she couldn’t salvage them.

“Thank you,” Rachel squeezed Kallie’s hand emotionally. “I’m at a loss for words to thank you.”

Curious, Kallie typed down her question, “Who told you the clothes were ruined before?”

Rachel nodded, ready to respond, when a deep voice boomed from behind. It was Phillip.

Phillip strode purposefully toward them, his usually stern demeanor softened by Kallie’s presence. “Mrs. Reeves, I’ve been wanting to apologize in person for the incident at the last party, but time slipped away from me. Rachel means the world to me, and my words were out of line. Please accept my sincere apologies.”

Kallie quickly shook her head, reassuring Phillip that she harbored no ill feelings.

Rachel, treating the clothes like precious artifacts, handed them over to Phillip. “Dad, look! Kallie fixed them. Isn’t she amazing?”

Phillip’s eyes filled with tears as he recognized the dresses. “Your mother wore this one on our first date, and I got her that one for her birthday party that year. Over time, I’ve lost so many of her things for all sorts of reasons. I’ve looked everywhere but came up empty. I thought her possessions were gone for good. I was…”

“Mrs. Reeves, I can’t thank you enough,” Phillip turned to Kallie, his eyes filled with deep appreciation, and extended an invitation. “If it’s okay with you, we’d love for you to join us for dinner.”
