344 Chapter 343 Keira was currently thinking about Rebecca's situation, so she was somewhat distracted.
When Frankie called out to her, she subconsciously stopped in her tracks.
Luckily, Lewis was quick to react, blocking Frankie's line of sight swiftly, but by the the had done so, he becacutely aware that the act of concealing itself revealed something.
Lewis cast a glance toward Frankic, and sure enough, he saw deep suspicion in his eyes.
Keira realized that something was amiss and, without turning her head, she went directly to the car.
Lewis sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and as they drove past Frankie, Keira glanced at him.
After the car had left the Allen residence, Keira looked toward Lewis and said, “Do you think he noticed something?” Lewis said indifferently, “He probably suspects something, but without evidence, he definitely can’t accuse you.” Keira frowned, about to speak, but Lewis understood her thoughts. “Don’t worry. Frankie is a smart man. Even if he has discovered something, he won't make a big fuss about it.” Keira then nodded.
The two of them didn’t return to the South residence, but instead went to the Davis family.
Today, Mary was trying on wedding dresses.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs her best friend, Keira went to help her choose.
The car stopped in the parking lot, but Lewis remained seated in the driver's seat. “You go ahead. Til wait for you here while | handle swork-related matters.” He didn’t want to confront the Davis family again.
Thinking of the last twhen Shirley stood before him, unable to recognize her son, Keira understood and nodded.
She got out of the car and entered the Davis residence.
Mary was now the most prized daughter of the Davis family, and naturally, Keira faced no obstruction upon entering, proceeding directly to the banquet hall.
This banquet hall was large, yet now it was filled with wedding dresses, with brand managers standing by their respective stations, waiting for Mary to cand make her pick.
It was as if a bridal shop had been moved into their home.
Keira was startled by the scene and looked toward Mary.
Mary also tugged at the corner of her mouth. “Uncle Ken and the Olsen family arranged this. They said since I'm pregnant, | shouldn't overexert myself, so they asked the brands to send over their top wedding dresses...” 344 Chapter 343 Keira asked, “Isn't that a bit too extravagant?” Mary let out a soft sigh.
Extravagant? It was the power of a prestigious family.
When she was young, while her grandfather was still alive, the children in the family would often buy clothes this way. But after the principal lineage split off, they no longer enjoyed such treatment.
How could Mary's parents and grandmother, who were accustomed to enjoying such privileges, stand their current cold reception? That was why they saw her as a key to re-entering a top-tier wealthy family.
She was about to marry Ellis, and her parents’ status within the Davis family had risen, once again enjoying the treatment reserved for the principal lineage.
Yet Mary felt no joy, only a strong sense of helplessness and sadness.
Keira, sensing her lack of enthusiasm, helped her choose among the wedding dresses. “Bride-to-be, how about trying this one? Your neck is slender, and I think this dress suits you!” However, Mary was disinterested. “No need, this one is fine.
She settled on one dress right away, sent the other brand managers home, and then looked at the sales clerk, pointing to Keira. “Help my friend choose a bridesmaid dress.” Keira was perplexed.
She lowered her voice. “I'm married with a child... Isn't that inappropriate?” Mary immediately said, “Aren’t you divorced? Divorced means single. Of course, it's appropriate! Keera, we had an agreement back in the day, that we would be each other's bridesmaids...” Hearing this, Keira paused for a moment, then nodded. “Okay.” The sales clerk had the bridesmaid dresses ready, so Keira also casually picked out a white gown. was understated, which wouldn't steal the bride's thunder.
In less than ten minutes, they had chosen the dresses.
that Just as the two were about to leave, Mary’s parents rushed over in a hurry, “Is that the choice? Isn't that too casual?” Mary said indifferently, “Anyway, whatever | wear will look the same” Her mother wanted to say something else, but her father quickly interjected, “Right, our daughter is so beautiful, and all these wedding dresses are signature pieces from big brands; indeed, anything she wears will look good.” After that, Mary's father looked toward the door, “Mr. Ellis was supposed to ctoday to choose with you, how che’s not here yet?” Upon hearing this, Keira immediately looked at Mary.
But Mary lowered her gaze, “Well, he just senta message, saying he’s busy with something and won't ctoday. Just have the sales clerk match the clothes to his size, and send them to the Olsen 11:45 214 344 Chapter 343 family.” At these words, her parents exchanged a glance immediately.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer mother wanted to speak but ultimately remained silent.
Keira walked Mary back to the room, then suddenly asked in a low voice, “Mary, are you happy?” Mary looked at her, suddenly feeling like crying.
Since her marriage to Ellis was decided, her family had been busy preparing for their wedding, but no one had ever asked her if she was happy.
Everyone thought that she was reaching above her station by marrying Ellis...
Only Keera genuinely cared about her.
But Keera needed her to marry Ellis.
Seeing her like this, Keira immediately said, “Mary, if Ellis can’t even make it for such an important day, don’t marry him.” Mary quickly grabbed her hand. “What nonsense are you talking about? | agreed to this marriage.
Keira was about to speak when the door was suddenly pushed open, and Mary’s mother walked in.
As she entered, she saw Keira and immediately said with a smile, “Mary, among the dresses the manager just left, there's one for Keera as a bridesmaid.” Mary raised her eyebrows at her, remaining silent.
Mary’s mother chuckled awkwardly. “Here's the thing, even though your wedding to Mr. Ellis is being arranged hastily, the whole town is watching. The marriage between the Davis and Olsen families is a big event, and the Olsens are planning to have Victoria serve as your bridesmaid...” Hearing this, Mary nodded. “Sure, the bridesmaid group can have six people anyway... If she wants to come, then let her.” Her mother hesitated, then glanced at Keira again.
“Just now, your Uncle Ken said he would let his daughter be one of your bridesmaids, and the Allen family will send someone too.... You remember your aunt’s daughter Rebecca? She'll also be your bridesmaid. With this lineup, Keera’s status seems somewhat insufficient...” She seemed uneasy and looked at Mary. Seeing that Mary said nothing, she immediately turned to Keira. “Keera, you and Mary have been close friends since childhood, and | know that. So, regarding this matter... Mary is quite troubled...” Upon hearing this, Keira immediately raised her eyebrows.
Was Mary's mother trying to get her to back off gracefully and bow out?
