Her hand drifted down to the buckle of his belt.

Damian caught her wrist instinctively, their foreheads still touching.

“There’s something I should tell you,” Damian said, swallowing hard, forcing back the rising heat in his veins.

Isabelle looked at him, her expression earnest–she only wanted to offer him comfort.

But his refusal was unmistakable.

“We’ll need to postpone the portrait session for a little while. The photographer can’t clear the schedule right now,” he explained. his voice still thick.

“That’s not the real reason,” Isabelle called him out softly.

From yesterday until now, Damian had laid out her clothes each morning before she woke. He’d shown her almost every corner of the estate–except for the dressing room.

She’d noticed it first thing today.

The entire walk–in was filled with dresses for her.

Her eyes had been drawn to two dresses with delicate, hand–stitched embroidery. The stitching was uneven in places, the technique clearly that of a beginner–an untrained eye might miss it, but Isabelle recognized it instantly.

They were amateur work.

She couldn’t help but recall the faint pinprick marks she’d glimpsed on this man’s fingers that morning weeks ago at Cross Manor.

He didn’t have heavily calloused hands, but those small, healed punctures had been quietly visible.

When Isabelle saw those two embroidered dresses, her heart clenched with sudden understanding. As she opened the other closets, she seemed to find tiny clues in every piece.

Some of the garments in the collection looked professionally finished, while others were clearly less polished. It seemed Damian had collaborated with artisans on most–except for those two dresses, which bore the mark of his own hands.

That was when Isabelle understood why Damian had been away on extended business for a full month the previous season.

So that was what he’d been doing…

And now he wanted to delay the wedding portraits—surely because of how withdrawn she’d been yesterday, which had led kim to this cautious decision.

Damian read the realization in her eyes.

“You saw everything?”

“I saw everything,” Isabelle said, wrapping her arms tightly around him, pressing her ear to his chest and listening to the steady, strong rhythm of his heartbeat.

He didn’t speak, just held her carefully, lowering his head to watch her expression.

Isabelle took his hand, studying it with soft intensity, her fingers tracing over his skin

Damian was genuinely worried she might spiral into guilt again, so he tried to gently pull his hand back.

“Let me see,” Isabelle insisted, holding on.

“There’s nothing much to see,” Damian said, his fingers curling slightly.

In truth, the tiny needle marks had long since faded. They hadn’t been serious–nothing worth mentioning–except they weren’t just marks.

They were the care Damian had poured into every stitch, and his quiet anxiety, too.

From the back, his hands were strikingly elegant, the kind that could make one’s breath catch. Under his warfo–toned skin, the tendons and veins traced a faint, powerful landscape. His palms held a slight roughness, with thin calluses, especially where he habitually held a pen.

“You’re too good to me,” Isabelle murmured, interlacing her fingers with his.

“Well, I’m the one who’d give you the world,” he replied with a low, soft laugh.

Isabelle curled closer into his embrace.

Her lingering self–reproach was only a form of torture for Damian.

So she decided to release it–to free herself, and in doing so, free him too.

Her sadness and regret only made those who loved her walk on eggshells.

She didn’t want them to worry over her anymore,

“Take me to try on the wedding dress,” she said, tilting her face up to meet his gaze.

She wanted to wear the dress Damian had made for her with his own hands

What would it feel like to walk beside him, wearing something he’d created stitch by stitch?

She couldn’t wait to find out.

“Alright.”

They couldn’t do the photos today–it was already nearing noon. They’d shoot tomorrow.

Isabelle shared her thoughts, and Damian agreed without hesitation.

As long as she was willing, Damian would accept anything.

“Do you still have work?” Isabelle suddenly remembered she’d interrupted him earlier, cutting the meeting short.

“If I’m not there, they’ll go to Brian. Don’t worry,” Damian said, taking her hand and leading her toward the private elevator. Right now, Brian was still lost in his own cozy world. The small box from last night was empty, and he had no desire to get up.
