Chapter 95: Three Months and Twenty-Five Days
Today marked the first time Rain would attend the exclusive exhibit of the famous artist Vernice. Her family had always been invited, but like in the Cinderella story, she had been left behind by her father, who only brought Dina and Sylvia to prestigious events like this.
"I wonder if they’ll be there," she murmured, slipping into thought.
Rain was eager to immerse herself in Vernice’s artworks and wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
She knew some guests, like Dina, would be more focused on socializing and discussing other things than appreciating the art.
Rain recalled how her half-sister had even tailored a gown for the event, given the exclusive exhibition’s formal cocktail theme. She couldn’t help but smile, anticipating Dina’s reaction when she saw her there.
"It fits perfectly," Rain hummed with satisfaction at her reflection in the mirror, admiring the luxurious cocktail dress her father-in-law had surprised her with that morning. It was elegant and a perfect fit. The deep emerald green gown, with its off-the-shoulder sleeves and high-low hemline, showed just the right amount of skin without being too revealing.
Her fingers lightly grazed the fabric as she admired how well it complemented her figure. She couldn’t help but grin, amazed at how thoughtful her father-in-law was, managing to pick the exact right size for her—just like Alexander did before.
Rain’s face flushed as she recalled the time she ended up wearing a dress Alexander had asked Tyron to buy for her. Alexander had given Tyron an estimate of her sizes. That was the time when she had an unexpected moment of intimacy with Alexander.
She quickly shook her head, clearing the thoughts before they could turn any more lewd. "Focus, Rain," she muttered to herself, trying to regain composure as she quickly shifted her thoughts about the exhibit.
