Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 273

Although Max had been fooled, he couldn’t bring himself to blow his top when he saw how piteous Yelena looked.

“Are you sure you’re not eager to get engaged on a whim?” Max looked at her face and asked seriously.

“I’m not acting on a whim. I’ve been meaning to marry you since I was sixteen. It’s been three years now and I’ve never changed my mind.”

Yelena had been waiting for him for three years. During this period, she encountered too many things, which strengthened her belief that she was in love with Max. She would never have a change of heart.

“Alright, then. From now on, you have to obey everything I say.”

Max sounded serious, but his words made Yelena feel vexed.

She knew that she would be restricted by the man in many ways, but she didn’t mind it, for she would be engaged to Max. I’m on cloud nine!

The others broke into laughter as they were happy for the young couple.

Then, they discussed the date for the engagement party and confirmed that it would be on 20 May at 1.14PM, which was deemed to be an auspicious date and time in Chars.

Elspeth then brought Yelena to the Azure Corporation’s underground exhibition hall. As Yelena looked at those stunning evening gowns, she finally realized that she had been foolish to fight Emma over the wedding dress in Harvey’s store.

She almost missed a chance to get one of these beautiful dresses.

“You can just take any dress you want.”

Clothes were supposed to be worn anyway. Furthermore, Yelena’s build was similar to Elspeth’s. As such, she would probably fit into one of these dresses.

Yelena nodded and picked out a dress before joyfully entering the fitting room.

When she reappeared, her face was reddish even though she hadn’t put on any makeup. She turned around in front of the mirror as the pink hem expanded like a flower.

“It’s gorgeous, Elspeth. How do I look?”

Yelena chuckled, thinking that Max would be besotted if he saw Yelena in this dress.

Elspeth nodded. “You look wonderful, but there’s one more thing you need.”

She then took out a pearl necklace from a box and wrapped it around Yelena’s neck, which added a hint of elegance to the young woman.

“Alright. You can wear this on the engagement day.”

Yelena asked curiously, “What about you, Elspeth?”

With a smile, Elspeth pointed at a pure white dress that was without any embroidery.

The design looked simple but unimpressive. Furthermore, it didn’t look like a wedding dress at all.

“Don’t you think it’s too plain?” Yelena was baffled.

“Don’t worry. You’ll find out on the engagement day.” Elspeth winked at Yelena and it set her mind at ease.

Although Elspeth could be silly sometimes, there was no way she would make a mistake on her engagement day. As such, there was nothing to worry about.

Then, Yelena turned to the mirror again and observed herself.

Soon, the engagement day arrived.

Since it was the engagement party of the two sons from the Winthrop Family, the daughter from the Sullivan Family, and the granddaughter from the Joneson Family, it was big news in Damoria.

Although Elspeth wasn’t close to the Joneson Family, they still sent a gift to her.

Naturally, it was a gift from Frank, not Michael. There was also a letter attached to it.

‘Elspeth, I can’t believe you didn’t invite me to your engagement party. Anyway, with Grandpa around, I can’t possibly attend the party. You have no idea how furious he is. When you get married, I’ll sneak out of the house and attend your party. This time, I’m sending you a gift first.’

Frank sounded humble in the letter.
