Thinking that she must have misheard, Selene listened to the phone intently.
The salesperson from Sloane repeated her words once again.
When she heard it for a second time, Selene started to jump up and down with joy.
After putting down the phone, she ran around the house like a madwoman.
When she saw Jade, Selene quickly latched on to her and gave her a big kiss. "Mom! Mom! There’s good news! I don't longer have to wear that simple dress we ordered from "Sloane" anymore. I really didn’t like that dress, but it was Grandpa who had kept insisting that I wear something more low profile. Hahaha, I won’t have to wear it now." 2
With a concerned look on her face, Jade advised," Selene, listen to me and your grandpa. It's best for you to keep a low profile. If you wish to eventually marry Sebastian in the end and win his heart, we have to act more strategically, understand?"
Selene shook her head frantically. "Mom, you don't understand! Just now, the boutique called to say that Sebastian had personally customized an extravagant diamond-encrusted dress for me. Did you hear that, it was a personal gift from him! Mom! It's the most
lavish dress in the entire store!”
Jade was instantly stunned. "Selene, what...what did you just say? Did I hear you right? You said that it was a diamond-encrusted dress that Sebastian had personally customized for you?"
With great enthusiasm, Selene nodded at her mother." Yes, mom! Yes!”
Jade didn’t know how to react. “Gosh..."
"Hahaha! Do you know why he did that, Mom? It's because of grandpa. He told me that he put pressure o n Sebastian. After all, he needs grandpa to conquer the island in the southeast region, and so grandpa told him his condition, which was to divorce Sabrina. So, does this mean Sebastian has already agreed to it? He ordered this extravagant dress to propose to me, right?” Selene couldn't stand the fact she wasn't able t o ask him now.
She was still afraid to see Sebastian.
He, who had killed men by the hundreds without even batting an eye, truly made Selene scared out of her wits. 2
However, the more she saw him acting like that, the more Selene fell in love with Sebastian.
Now, the day she had been waiting for had finally arrived.
