In the blink of an eye, a month flew by.
As Susanne's birthday party was coming up in a few days, Arielle brought a tailored gown to the older woman.
“Mom, I designed this myself and had someone sew it. Why don't you give it a try? If it fits, you can wear it for your birthday party,” Arielle explained with a smile as she pulled the gown out of a bag.
It never crossed Susanne's mind that Arielle knew how to design clothes. Receiving it in surprise, she beamed at the latter. “You shouldn't have. I'm fine with just getting one off the rack.”
Despite her words, Susanne felt very much appreciated and blessed to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law. In fact, she had more than once lamented at how blind she had been to miss a gem like Arielle. Fortunately, her son—who had the better eye—insisted on marrying the latter. Otherwise, there was no way she could ever find someone so caring and filial.
“I'll go try it on right now.” Upon returning to her room, Susanne was stunned the moment she retrieved the gown from the bag. It was made from a luxurious fabric, and its silky smooth texture was evident when she ran her fingers over it. The intricate motifs embroidered on the gown accentuated its already distinguished air.
Just a touch and she already couldn't bring herself to put it on.
Twenty minutes later, Susanne emerged wearing the gown. The sight of her sparked a look of amazement in Arielle's eyes.
“Mom, you look perfect in it!”
“Sannie, I can't bring myself to wear this gown out,” Susanne commented with a smile.
