Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 450

Now, Claire looked even more like a porcelain doll.

"Come here, you two! Look how adorable our Claire is!" Mrs. Tempest called out.

Mr. Tempest and Orion hurried into the bedroom. The moment they saw Claire, their eyes practically sparkled with delight.

Mr. Tempest beamed. "That's my daughter! Beautiful as ever."

Orion nodded enthusiastically. "No doubt about it-my little sister is the cutest."

Father and son began showering Claire with compliments, and soon they were rummaging through the closet to find her the perfect dress.

Mr. Tempest held up a white princess dress.

Orion grabbed a pink one.

"Claire, sweetheart, try Daddy's dress on," Mr. Tempest urged.

"Claire, mine is much prettier," Orion insisted, holding the pink dress closer.

Neither was willing to back down, and Claire couldn't help but feel both overwhelmed and touched by their attention.

In the end, she put on the pink dress Orion had chosen, but to keep the peace, she let her dear dad pick a white cardigan to wear over it.

She thought that would finally settle things.
