Chapter 78 You’re My Sister

Kaia smiled, “That dress was way too flashy and wouldn’t work for most occasions. Besides, that color doesn’t suit Luna at all. If she’s so determined to have it, let her.”

“Kaia, I didn’t mean it like that. Don’t take it personally-I’m calling my brother a jerk, not you!”

Kaia laughed it off casually. “It’s fine. Let’s go check out some other stores. I might have a dinner party this Saturday, so help me pick a dress, will you?”

On the fifth floor, a boutique with unique décor and custom women’s clothing caught their attention.

Alyssa was still marveling at what she’d seen. “I can’t believe such a small boutique carries gowns of this quality. It’s

incredible!”

She continued, “Too bad someone already ordered it, or I’d buy it for you right now, Kaia. Consider it your gift for this year.”
