Chapter 404

Chapter 404

Matthew deeply regretted agreeing to Lucy's request to wear the altered dress.

In his eyes, Lucy had always looked like the girl next door. She rarely ever revealed her mature side. However, her dress today perfectly showcased the side of her that he did not know existed.

Lucy was not just skin and bones. She was curvy in all the right places, and the dress accentuated that beautifully. Her exposed shoulders and collarbones were captivating. When Lucy turned, the beautiful lines of her back were exposed. Matthew's eyes widened in an instant.

Lucy had transformed the dress into a backless gown. While Matthew was mesmerized by her beauty, he could not help but feel concerned.

The Wine Festival was one of Charleston's biggest events, and countless aristocrats and nobles would be there. Matthew could already imagine the lustful gazes of those men.

Sensing the discomfort in Matthew's eyes, Lucy asked him what was wrong, but he just shook his head and smiled. "You look stunning today."

Lucy could not help but feel that Matthew was being insincere, so she pursed her lips and puffed out her cheeks.
