“Emma, hurry up and introduce Lily to her. What are you standing there for!” Emily Taylor nudged Emma Shaw’s waist with her elbow.
Emma Shaw finally came to her senses and quickly put down her raised index finger pointing at Lily Gray.
In a true wealthy family, the most taboo thing is pointing an index finger at others. Emma Shaw’s action made Emily Taylor frown in displeasure.
“Ah, look at my confusion… Come, let me introduce you young people.” She proudly pushed the girl beside her forward,”This is my niece from my mother’s side, Angelina Shaw.”
“Grace, this is Lily Gray, Miss Gray.” She only mentioned her name but didn’t introduce her identity; this was clearly deliberate on Emma Shaw’s part.
She glanced at the girl across from her.
Tall and slender, with a graceful and pretty temperament, while her appearance was a little plain, under the accent of a custom-made dress, she could be considered elegant and noble.
Lily Gray shook hands with Angelina Shaw and said politely, “Hello, Miss Shaw. I am Lily Gray, Ethan Wilson’s wife.”
Upon hearing her identity, Angelina Shaw’s eyes flickered, and there was a flash of hurt on her face that she couldn’t accept.
Lily Gray ignored it, retrieved her hand, and asked Emily Taylor, “Mom, are you here to pick a dress for a banquet?”
“Oh, it’s just a small gathering among friends. There’s a private banquet at an old friend’s house tonight… Since you’re here, you can accompany us too.”
Emily Taylor casually said this while looking at the dress on herself in the mirror.
“Sure, I’ll go with you tonight.” She nodded docilely, then saw Emily Taylor and Emma Shaw exchange covert glances.contemporary romance
Lily Gray had a chill in her heart, a sense of foreboding.
As a daughter-in-law, even knowing that Emily Taylor wanted to make things difficult for her, she couldn’t refuse.
She was ordered by the two “elders” Emily Taylor and Emma Shaw to try on several dresses in a row, and the two of them praised her and even kindly helped her take comparison photos with their cell phones.
But in the end, the dress she thought looked best was given to Angelina Shaw by Emma Shaw on the grounds that it didn’t suit her.
She, on the other hand, was casually assigned a dress by Emily Taylor – a light yellow dress with an ordinary color and conservative design.
Lily Gray was actually mentally prepared and didn’t argue with the two “elders.” She spent the afternoon accompanying them in trying on and choosing dresses, showing full patience and filial piety.
After all, Emily Taylor was a lady of the house, not a thick-skinned person. Seeing her being so obedient and soft, she eventually felt embarrassed to continue to order her around.
By the time the four of them split up into two cars to attend the banquet, they had not said another harsh word to her.
On the road, Emily Taylor and Emma Shaw sat in the front car while the two younger generations naturally sat in the back.
Nothing happened on the way. Lily Gray and Angelina Shaw were polite to each other all afternoon until her cell phone vibrated, and she found a text message from Aidan Lucas.
Opening the text message, Lily Gray saw a picture of herself wearing a blue mermaid dress. In the photo, her long curly hair was draped over her shoulders, her lips were painted with rose-red lipstick, and the sapphire blue mermaid dress made her look both delicate and elegant.
Under the photo was a short line of text sent by Aidan Lucas — [The dress suits you, and I hope to have the chance to dance with Mrs. Lucas tonight.]
So Emily Taylor had sent her photo to Aidan Lucas… Would he come tonight as well?
Lily Gray replied, “It would be my honor,” along with a flying kiss emoji.
After closing her cell phone, she looked at Angelina Shaw sitting beside her, and at this moment, her eyes became strange.
Angelina Shaw, who originally had black long straight hair, had it styled into long curls by the stylist. Under Emily Taylor and Emma Shaw’s persuasion, however, she put up her long hair.
The rose-red lipstick she had on was wiped off and replaced with a bean paste color because Emily Taylor said it didn’t suit her light-colored dress.
On the other hand, Angelina Shaw, who had previously only applied light pink lipstick, was now wearing rose-red lipstick..
