Divorced but Delighted novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 The Ill-Fitting Gown

Just as Cierra was about to push Aleah away, the person holding her suddenly frowned and let go of her.

Aleah looked at her waist and asked, “Cierra, is this dress not fitting you well? It hangs loosely on you.”

A banquet was a competition for upper–class socialites.

And the dresses and jewelry were their weapons.

They would talk about the brands of their Haute Couture and the designers of their jewelry. Out–dated gowns were not allowed, not to say fake ones.

Wearing an ill–fitting gown was also a shameful thing.

The surrounding people began to laugh at Cierra brazenly.

“How hilarious! Mrs. Trevino does not have a fitting dress.”

“Be understanding. It’s good enough to have a decent dress. Remember, she’s just free to come back. Look at her hair. How outdated! No wonder Mr. Trevino doesn’t like her! I’m wondering when Mr. Trevino will divorce her, and free himself!”

Aleah seemed to hear nothing. She complained to Draven, “Draven, how could you prepare such a dress for

my sister?”

Cierra already knew that there would be such a bridge plot, so she watched Aleah’s performance expressionlessly, thinking

that she was childish enough.

Surprisingly, Draven explained, “I didn’t get enough time to ask Cierra’s size. I thought that you two shared similar figures, so I had the designer customize it according to your size. I didn’t expect it to be inappropriate, and there was not enough time to modify it.”

The discussion stopped abruptly.

Aleah almost couldn’t maintain her smile.

Aleah already felt the mocking gazes of the people around her, as if they were saying that she was fatter than Cierra!

And that dress! When Sprince released it in the Spring/Summer, Aleah wanted that dress. But it hadn’t been sold yet, so customers could only get it from the designer.

She didn’t expect that Cierra would be the first to wear it!

She also did not expect that Draven would not only give this dress to Cierra but also speak for that bitch!
