At this moment, Cassey came up to me and leaned closer to my ear, saying, "Wanda, eat some food first. When you're done eating, come and change gowns with me later. This gown is so uncomfortable to wear."
She was probably almost done with the toasts. I nodded. "Okay."
The gown I was wearing was not very comfortable either, so I took a quick bite and went to the dressing room with Cassey to change into another gown.
After changing, she took me to the room.
Seeing that I was daydreaming on the chair, she threw herself on the bed and looked sideways at me. "What are you thinking about?"
I shook my head. "Nothing."
Cassey did not ask further and lamented, "I swear I'll only marry once in my life. I'm exhausted."
I pursed my lips and looked down at my phone, terribly lost in thoughts.
It was only until Cassey called me several times before I came back to my senses and looked at her somewhat blankly. "What's wrong?"
She frowned. "You’ve been lost in thoughts after
coming into the room. Is something bothering you?"
I hesitated for a few seconds and asked, “Can you do m e a favor?"
"What favor?"
I pursed my lips. "My mother gave me a sandalwood box before she died. When I married Theo, Grandma took this box for safekeeping, which later disappeared. I think Cindy may have taken it away. Petra may have confirmed that Cindy was her daughter with the paternity test and the box. Therefore, can you please ask her if the box is with her? If it is, I hope she can return it to me."
She looked at me and hesitated for a moment. "Why did you suddenly think of the box?"
"It just came to me.” There were some things that I still could not tell her.
Cassey fell silent for a few seconds before saying," Alright, then. I'll go to the Louises’ to look for it. If I can't find it, then I'll ask her."
I nodded. "That's fine too."
