Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

Chapter 0476

*And we are done."

When I couldn't find a dress to suit the occasion, Gabriel called for help. A whole team arrived about three hours ago to help me with my makeup and dress.

My makeup is flawless. My makeup artist had opted for a classy look. My eyes were adorned with a soft yet bold eyeshadow that enhanced their natural depth, framed by long, fluttery lashes that made my gaze all the more captivating. A touch of gold shimmering in the inner comers brightens my eyes, drawing attention to their warmth, while my hair cascaded in loose waves, glistening like silk under the gentle light.

As for my dress, we went with a red gown since red had become Gabriel's favorite color on me. The gown is a breathtaking blend of sexy and elegant, crafted from a deep ruby satin that drapes beautifully over my curves. The neckline plunges just enough to be alluring, while intricate lace detailing along the edges adds a touch of sophistication. The fitted bodice accentuates my waist, flaring out gently into a flowing skirt that brushes the floor.

When I move, the fabric catches the light, shimmering like liquid as it reveals just a hint of her legs. A daring thigh- high slit adds an unexpected edge, which, like my stylist said, would showcase my confidence while maintaining an air of grace.

Gabriel had provided me with jewelry. I wore a pair of stunning pearl drop earrings, their lustrous surface catching the light and adding a touch of classic elegance to my look. Each pearl is framed by delicate gold accents.

Around my neck, was a statement necklace, featuring a cascade of sparkling crystals in a floral design,

mimicking the graceful curves of nature. The necklace sits perfectly just above my collarbone, drawing attention to the neckline of my dress.

On my wrists, I wore two thin gold bangles. One bangle is adorned with small, shimmering gemstones that echo the ruby tones of my dress, while the other is a simple, polished band that highlights the elegance of the first.

I take a moment to appreciate my reflection, a soft smile playing on my lips. I look at myself in the mirror, my eyes twinkling. I swear to God, I've never looked this beautiful. Update first at NôvelDráma. Org.

Turning to the team, I hold my hand out to them. They gladly take it.

"Thank you so much," I tell them, fighting back tears. "You have no idea just what this means to me. You've completely transformed my appearance today and saved my ass from embarrassment."

They laugh at my last sentence, but squeeze my hands.

*You are welcome, and any time you need us, just holla, and we'll be there," Candice, my makeup artist, says.

"It was a pleasure working with you. Honestly, you are the easiest client I've ever worked with." Adds Billy, my stylist.

After air kissing my cheeks, they leave with two of their team members. Distantly, I hear their voices as they talk with Gabriel, before the door opens and closes.

Seconds later, the door opens and Gabriel walks into his bedroom. Correction, our bedroom since he had our housekeeper move all my things this morning.

He stops dead in his tracks. "You look completely stunning."

His eyes roam over my form and I get a thrill from it. It's like he's leaving a trail of burning fire as his gaze moves down my body.

"I take it, you approve?" I tease, as I saunter over to where he's standing, as if his feet are glued to the floor.

His hands immediately snake out, and wrap around my waist. He pulls me close, smashing our chests together.

"Will I ruin your lipstick if I were to kiss you right now?"

Thank God for matte lipsticks.

"Since when has that ever stopped you?"

That's all the approval he needs as he smashes our lips together. Just like always, his kiss leaves me breathless. We pull away when we both need to come up for air. Gasping for breath because for a moment we forget to breathe.

He presses his forehead against mine. "Damn it, Harper. You've completely taken over my fucking heart in ways never saw coming. I'm tempted to cancel our attendance."

I chuckle, but remain silent, because what am I supposed to say to that?
