Chapter: 329
“Hold my arm," he replied gently.
Bethany hesitated, her fingertips hovering in the air for a moment before she finally Linked her arm with his.
Jonathan's broad shoulders provided a surprising sense of security, a feeling she hadn't anticipated.
She recalled the fitness equipment in his home at East Shade Bay and how she used to watch him exercise during those early mornings.
As they walked together towards the shop, Jonathan broke the silence.
“I picked the wedding dress for you."
"Sure." Bethany couldn't fathom his sudden remark. Jonathan wasn't the type to seek recognition. Yet, as she laid eyes on the wedding dress, there was no need for further inquiry.
Bethany understood immediately that Jonathan must have designed the wedding dress himself. It was a work of love, meticulously prepared over time.
The pristine gown shimmered with jeweled diamonds, intricately embroidered with the number 0825. Pearls and gemstones adorned its front, adding a touch of elegance.
Jonathan wasn't a designer, but he had started designing this one five years ago. Then, he reconnected with Bethany and married her...
He'd always imagined Bethany wearing this dress one day.
Now, she was going to wear it, but it didn't turn out as he had hoped.
“How much time did you spend designing it?" Bethany asked.
"Not much. Give it a try", Jonathan murmured softly, avoiding eye contact with Bethany.
"Alright."
Bethany went with the staff to the fitting room, leaving Jonathan waiting outside.
His phone rang repeatedly, yet he chose not to answer.
Today, nothing and no one could interrupt him.
Inside the fitting room, Bethany slipped into the wedding dress with the assistance of the staff.
As she gazed at her reflection in the mirror, tears welled up uncontrollably.
Bethany had no idea how long Jonathan had spent designing this wedding dress, or the immense effort he had poured into it. But she understood the significance held by the wedding dress.
“Oh my, this wedding dress suits you perfectly! You look stunning in it!" exclaimed the staff.
"Seriously?"
“Absolutely! Believing Bethany was overwhelmed with joy, the staff hurried to get a tissue to dab her tears. "You must be thrilled to have such a wonderful husband! The two of you make such a perfect pair. I've never seen a couple so perfectly matched. And if you have a baby, it'll surely be the most beautiful baby in the world!"
