Chapter 323
Chapter 323
After zipping up, Coleen went to her room to fetch the jewels she had bought in advance for her
daughter. However, as soon as she stepped out the door, Molly, the naive teenage girl attending her
first party, thought her outfit was ready. She walked barefoot, eager to show Chad her dress and let him
see if she look beautiful.
“Girls in dresses,” Mia said, “are like stars in the eyes of their lovers.”
Molly, still barefoot, descended the stairs without even picking up her dress. “Do I look good?” Molly
smiled and called out to the man who had his back to her in the living room.
Hearing her voice, Chad turned his head, lifted his eyes, and saw the elf-like girl on the stairs in her
pink dress.
Under the glow of the dress, she looked like a delicate princess. Soft but not too flashy, rich but not
exaggerated. Chad didn't know what words to use to describe the girl before him.
Her face was bare of makeup, but to Chad, she was more beautiful than any color in the world. She
was the princess of his heart for the past fifteen years.
Molly stood on the steps, looking at the stunned Chad. The smile on her face grew wider, and she
knew without asking that she was the most beautiful one there.
“Chad, I……Whoa!”
Molly, not looking where she was going, tripped over her own dress and almost fell.
Chad and Mr. Kendrick ran forward. Chad was a step faster. He rushed forward, grabbing Molly by the
waist and absorbing her impact.
Chad almost fell. Luckily, he grabbed onto the railing of the stairs, steadying himself.
Molly, who had suddenly thrown herself into Chad's arms, let out a scream in fear.
Mr. Kendrick arrived later, looking at his children, “Are you guys okay?”
Molly pouted, “I’m fine, Dad.”
Chad steadied himself, gently tapped Molly's forehead, “Can't you watch where you're going? What if
you fell down the stairs and cracked your head open?”
“Well, you're by my side, so I can just fall right into your arms.”
Chad, "What if I wasn’t by your side?”
“Then I wouldn't have come downstairs. I came down so you could see if I look good in this dress,”
Molly said.
Mr. Kendrick laughed and asked, "So you just want your brother to see, not your dad?"
"The main focus is to impress my brother."
This sentence made the originally angry Chad unable to get mad, leaving only indulgence.
Coleen came out and saw her daughter standing in the living room, “You're not even fully dressed yet,
why did you come downstairs?”
“Really? I’m not ready yet, Mom?” Molly looked at her clothes, “I thought I was done. I think it looks
pretty.”
Coleen came downstairs, and opened a jewelry box, “Aren't you going to wear any jewelry? You look
so bare without any embellishments. It’s too plain.”
The whole family trusted Coleen's taste.
Coleen handed the jewelry box to her daughter. Inside was a string of golden pearl necklaces. The
pearls were of moderate size, strung in small rings, which were made of golden beads. Under the light,
the golden beads shone, and the pearls were pure white, smooth, and transparent.
Not everyone can pull off pearls, some people would look heavy with them, while others would look
stingy. But Molly, wearing pearls, looked like a bright angel.
The necklace didn't have any irregular pendants; it was completely round, very regular, and very fitting
for her status as a rich young lady. The bracelet was covered with a layer of gold, and it had a small
pearl-white bow, looking very delicate. She also had a matching ring and a pair of earrings.
“Wow, Mom, this set is so pretty.” Molly immediately fell in love with it.
Coleen answered, “This is what Mom bought for you. Here, let me put them on for you.” Coleen picked
up the earrings to put them on her daughter.
Mr. Kendrick had nothing to do, so he put the necklace on his daughter.
Chad held her hand and carefully put the bracelet on her. After that, he picked up the ring, and Molly
stretched out her finger, “Chad, put it on for me.”
Chad looked at his innocent younger sister, “Which finger should I put it on?”
“You try and see.”
Molly happily accepted the whole family putting jewelry on her.
Chad held her hand, looking at her slender fingers. He unconsciously put the ring on her ring finger, but
when it was about to reach the joint, he suddenly took it off, “Wearing too much jewelry doesn't look
good for girls. You don't need to wear a ring.”
“Chad...” Molly still wanted to wear it.
Coleen also said, “Your brother is right. Wearing too much would seem too heavy. Simple and clean is
the best.”
Coleen then brought out a shoe box for her daughter to try on.
Chad squatted down, lifted her skirt, and put her foot into the shoe, “This foot.” Chad helped her put on
one shoe, then looked for her other foot. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Molly held her father's arm, lifted her foot, and let her brother help her put on the other shoe.
The way Chad squatted down to help Molly put on her shoes was like a groom finding his bride's shoes
and helping her put them on.
The heels weren't very high, as Coleen was worried that her daughter would be uncomfortable walking,
so she had medium height shoes made.
Molly, wearing her new shoes, walked around the house to feel them. Feeling comfortable, she turned
to ask her family, “Do I look good?”
Coleen looked at her daughter and smiled, “Such a vanity.”
Molly said, “Bro, take a picture of me, I want to send it to Hansen.”
Chad smiled and took out his phone, taking many pictures of the girl on the stairs.
Then Molly picked the best one and sent it to her own phone, and she sent the photo to the Cedillo
family group chat.
Hansen was the first to reply, “I’m the first to reply. My daughter is so beautiful.”
Naomi also commented, “Molly, you have good taste, this dress suits you very well.”
Andre also commented, “Very good.”
Mia said a bit sourly, "When you own wife is wearing a gown, you don't even say a word about how
good it looks because you're afraid of the bare shoulders and arms, so it looks like your wife is still no
match for your sister."
Andre looked at the envious pregnant woman next to him, "I just don't want others to see your beauty.
My sister's beauty can be admired by everyone, but my wife's beauty should be kept private."
Mia looked at her husband with a smile, asking, "You're trying to say you love me, right?"
Andre spread his arms, and a kitten jumped into his embrace.
Hansen rolled his eyes, "Go back to your bedroom. Stop making me sick here."
Mia retorted, "You're feeling sick? I haven't noticed your appetite decreasing."
Hansen was so pissed off that he wanted to stand up and scold his daughter-in-law.
"If you dare lay a hand on me, my hubby will hit back for me."
"Heh, this makes me want to hit you even more."
Mia immediately hid in her husband's arms. Andre held her, and in his arms, she was his entire world.
He didn't understand why he was laughing, but in this moment, he felt incredibly happy.
Naomi and Bruce also started laughing on the side.
Leo said, "If I dared to do something like this, my grandpa would whack me with a stick."
So it was not just about the rules at home, but also about the people.
