The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 235

"Huh?" Dorothy couldn't understand why he'd suddenly say that, considering that Everett never seemed like the type to seek praise. Until she saw the wedding dress.

She didn't need to ask any questions.

Dorothy knew that this wedding dress must've been designed by Everett himself.

It was a piece he's been preparing for a long time.

The snow-white wedding dress was adorned with jewels and diamonds, and embroidered at the front were the numbers 0825, each embellished with pearls and gemstones.

He wasn't a professional wedding dress designer, but he started drafting this dress five years ago. All the way up until he met Dorothy again and married her.

Everett thought there would come a day when he'd see Dorothy wearing the dress that he designed himself.

In fact, she was about to wear it, just not in the way he'd imagined.

"How long did you design this for?"

"Not long." Everett's voice was low. He didn’t even look at Dorothy. "Go try it on."

"Okay."

Dorothy followed the assistant into the dressing room, while Everett waited outside.

His phone rang countless times, but he rejected every call.

Today, nothing and no one could disturb him.

Inside the dressing room, Dorothy put on the wedding dress with the assistant's help.

She couldn't help but tear up when she saw her reflection.

Dorothy didn't know how long Everett took to design this dress or the amount of time and effort he put into completing it.

But she knew what this dress represented.

"Wow, Ms. Sanchez, this dress suits you wonderfully! You look so beautiful!"Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Really?"

"Really!" The assistant thought she was crying out of joy and hurriedly brought tissues to wipe her tears. "You're so lucky to have such a great husband! Mr. Lopez and you are truly a match made in heaven. I've never seen a couple more suited for each other! If you two have a baby, they'll be absolutely gorgeous!" As she rambled on, she seemed almost eager to see what their future child would look like.

The mention of a child made Dorothy's hand shake involuntarily.

Right, she must always remember to hide her pregnancy from Everett.

"Can this be tightened around the waist a bit more?"

"You're already perfect as you are."

"A bit tighter, please. I think it would look better."

The assistant naturally complied with her request and bustled about to alter the dress.

An hour later, Dorothy finally emerged in the wedding dress and appeared in front of Everett.

He was sitting quietly, not once picking up the magazine next to him. His gaze was fixed on the dressing room.

The moment he saw Dorothy, a slow smile crept onto his face.

"Dorothy, I knew you'd look beautiful in this."

"Thank you." Flattered by his compliment, Dorothy blushed and looked away shyly.

Everett rose and walked over to her, taking her hand in his. "Let's go to the venue."

"But... aren't the bride and groom supposed to be separated before the wedding?" Dorothy had never been married, but she'd attended a few colleagues' weddings.

She'd heard it was bad luck for them to see each other beforehand.

"But I don't want to miss a single second of today."

He wanted to spend every single second he could with her.

Dorothy was taken aback and blinked at him in confusion.

Everett seemed unusually romantic and straightforward today. He didn't seem like the restrained and aloof Mr. Lopez she knew.
