A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 394

The party comes soon.

Burnell and Jonathan dress up and go to the party early on.

John and Lily are the only ones still lingering in the manor.

While waiting for her gown from Brodie, Lily says to John, "Go with your father, I will come after you soon. Moreover, I know where to go."

"You are my girlfriend, so I should be with you." John pours her a cup of nectar and whispers, "How are the babies today? How are you?"

Lily replies in a low voice, "I felt good in the past two days, so it will be all right tonight, I hope. Thank goodness, I haven't gained much weight these days and my belly hasn't swollen up yet, otherwise, I can't wear a gown."

John smiles, "I have never known the fat Lily. Now I may have a chance."

"Hey, hey, don't be silly."

"..."

When they chat in low voices, the servant who fetches the gown comes back.

Glancing at the gown that the servant is holding with both hands, Lily is confused, "I tried on the gown once. It was a champagne fishtail skirt with long-sleeves. Why are you holding a black gown?"

"Mr. Brodie said, that gown was accidentally scratched by the cat kept by his assistant," The servant replies, "This is the only gown in the studio fitting Ms. Lily."

John says in ill humor, "The gown was tailored two months ago, and Ms. Lily approved its color and style. Now that the gown is damaged, he just uses this black one to muck us about?"

The servant lowers his head and doesn't dare to say anything.

"Never mind, let's look at the gown first," Lily says as she takes the gown from the servant and shakes it off.

The gown is handmade. It is waisted with hollow-out collar and back. And its split stretches from the thigh to the ankle. In one word, it is an Haute Douture which will display the fine figure of a woman.

"Invite Brodie over!" On seeing the gown, John pulls a long face immediately.

"Yes."

"Although it's a little exposed, the design is excellent. There are so many clothes in his studio, why did Brodie choose this one for me?" Lily is still looking at the gown when the servant leaves for Brodie.

After saying that, she looks at John.

At her question, John looks worse.

Brodie comes quickly. He bows and apologizes to John and Lily, while repeating the same excuse for changing the gown.

"Choose one gown similar to the size of Ms. Lily and deal with it!" John orders.

"No." Brodie says perplexedly, "You know, Miss Liliya is very slim, so almost all of my designs are of small size."

"It should be fine to change a gown from a large size to a small one, but the styles and colors of those gowns are out of date. It seems that Ms. Lily has gained some weights these days, so, changing the gowns of small sizes won't work."

Lily, "..."

"Then call your friends and ask them if there are any ready-made gowns." John has been infuriated, "If no, you will be fired!"

Brodie takes out the phone immediately, "I'll be right back."

After making several calls beside the window, Brodie comes over slowly and says carefully, "There are many gowns that fit Ms. Lily's size in two studios, but..."

John looks cool-headed and orders, "Then hurry up and send them over!"

"The nearest studio needs one and half hour to deliver a gown," Brodie mumbles, "and the party will refuse one's entrance at 8:30. Mr. John, there's not enough time."

John almost explodes at these words, immediately, Lily tries to stops him by saying calmly, "Then, let go of Mr. Brodie. There is nothing he can do."

"This gown won't do, it's too exposed!" John knows what she is thinking, so he immediately refuses, "Let's take a look on the way there. We should find a suitable one."

"No. I will take this one. It will waste time to buy one outside; moreover, I may not find my size there. It will be the worst if we fail to arrive on time." says Lily.

"Wait a minute. I'll go change."

When Lily passes by, John hears her whispering, "Don't act rashly." So, he stifles his impulses of reproaching Brodie again, and stands there waiting.

In less than ten minutes, Lily comes down in the black gown.

The gown is close fitting, exposing her slender and beautiful figure. As she walks, her slender legs will occasionally appear from the split of the gown.

Her skin is fair and fine, and her eyes are sharp with some innocence. Lily looks like a coquettish goddess.

Walking down while holding the handrail, Lily looks like a Queen looking down upon the world.

John stares at her infatuatedly, wishing that she was his exclusive item.

Coming down, Lily smiles at Brodie, "Mr. Brodie is a pro! With this gown, I feel brilliant!"

"No, it's Ms. Lily that makes this gown perfect."

"Thank you."

Taking the purse from the servant, Lily turns around and finds John still standing there and staring at herself absentmindedly. His azure eyes are like seawater, with fatal attraction.

She is not tempted, but waves her hand in front of him.

"John? Time to go."

John collects his wits finally and looks at her indulgently, "Lily, you look ... gorgeous."

"So, you can't walk now?" Lily waves her phone at him, "It's getting late."

"Coming now."

Lily walks ahead.

As soon as she turns around, all her fair and fine back almost exposes before him.

He also sees the beautiful shoulders, and her tiny waist vaguely.

John feels a fire burning all over his body. He strides over hurriedly and puts his coat over her body. He also asks one servant to get a shawl upstairs that is of the same color as that of the gown.

Lily says, "Don't, I feel good in this way..."

"Not good!" John interrupts her, "There are too many people at the party, and I can't be with you every minute. You have two options--one is to buy another gown later, and the other is to take a shawl. Up to you."

He becomes agitated at the thought that everyone at the party will see her beauty.

"..."

Thinking of the tight schedule, Lily has no choice but agrees to take a shawl.

The car is already waiting at the door. It is a Rolls-Royce deluxe nanny car, looking like a small house. As soon as Lily and John are in the car, the stylist begins his work on Lily immediately.

John sits opposite them, occasionally handing over something to the stylist. He gazes at Lily, as if he could do this until the end of the world.

Catching a glimpse of him unwittingly, Lily finds that John is still staring at herself, dumbfounding, "What about reading a magazine?"

"You're more attractive than magazine models." John whispers softly.

Lily blushes at his words.

She coughs a little and tries to distract his attention, "Everyone on the list has made agreements with me except Macit. I'll talk to Macit at the party."

"I'll do the talk." John knows how tired she is during this period, so he would like to let her relax, "If you have any ideas, tell me first."
