Chapter 87: BEAUTIFUL
However, Hailee didn't focus on the tone of his voice, but the face of the man. "Why is your face so red?" Seeing Ramon's reaction, a mischievous smile appeared on Hailee's face. "Mr. Tordoff, are you shy that I licked your hand?" she asked through laughter.
Ramon frowned, but no longer covered Hailee's mouth with his hands, letting her laugh out loud. "Shut up," Ramon grumbled.
"I didn't know that Mr. Tordoff have such a sensitive palm," Hailee said as she wiped her tears. "You're so cute."
"Shut up and walk quickly," Ramon said as he sped up his pace, leaving Hailee, which caused the girl to half run after him.
But, it seemed that she didn't mind at all.
"I should have taken a photo just now, to show it to Lexus," Hailee said, suddenly thinking of the man. She intended to take out her cell phone, but Ramon gave her a menacing glare. "...or maybe not."
==============
Since Ramon was already here, so naturally, he would try on his own clothes.
Like most men, who didn't have as many styles as women's clothes, what Ramon intended to wear for his wedding was not something that had a fanciful design, but if other people took a closer look and know the price for that one 'simple' outfit, then they would shake their heads and be amazed at the lined up digits.
It only took Ramon less than fifteen minutes to finish fitting his clothes and now, he just sat around waiting for Hailee, who was still unprepped, checking some emails on his cell phone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLis who sat next to him, could only sigh helplessly looking at her son who didn't even leave work at a time like this.
"Those emails can wait, why don't you just focus on here?" asked Lis, reprimanding her first son.
"Hailee still hasn't appeared," Ramon replied. In other words; if the bride is still not ready, where else should he focus?
Hearing that answer, Lis could only lean her back and take a look the fashion magazines available there.
Lis decided for Hailee to immediately try on her wedding dress and try on that second dress for the garden party later, on another day, because she couldn't wait to see Ramon's reaction when he saw Hailee in that dress.
Especially for this, Margaretha handled Hailee herself, so she wasn't there, sitting with Ramon and Liz.
Five minutes passed.
Ten minutes passed.
And when twenty minutes had passed, Ramon had put down his cell phone and was sitting, with his arms crossed impatiently.
It wasn't that he wanted to see Hailee right away, but he just couldn't help wondering why it would take her nearly an hour just to put on a dress.
"Ah, there they are," Lis said cheerfully, sighing in relief after seeing Margaretha come out of one of the doors.
Hearing Liz's words, Ramon automatically turned toward the same direction.
Lis found Margaretha smiling proudly, as if she had just successfully held a fashion show. Her index finger and thumb intertwined as she glanced at Ramon.
From behind the maroon curtain, Hailee appeared in her wedding dress and there was only one word that crossed Ramon's mind at that moment, but even that one word could not represent his judgment when he saw the entirety of Hailee's figure in the purple dress.
Beautiful.
Ramon had never seen anything or someone who really deserved the word, other than the figure before him.
The beauty that Hailee had was not the type that would make those around her feel inferior, but was a beauty that others could admire.
Hailee looked gorgeous from the way she smiled shyly at Liz and Margaretha, and how she glanced at Ramon secretly, wanting to know how he felt, or his reaction.
Margaretha's dress design was an off shoulder type, showing off Hailee's delicate shoulders and long neck, with an asymmetric ruffle bottom. A mix of classic and modern themes.
The dress didn't look too much but fit on Hailee, as if the dress was one with her.
As a finishing touch, Margaretha gave matching lace gloves, making Hailee's look perfect.
Even Margaretha herself seemed satisfied with her handiwork. "Oh, I want her in my fashion show..." sighed Margaretha when she saw Hailee who looked charming.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I don't think Ramon will allow his wife to be seen by many people," Lis said lightly as she glanced at her son who had stood up and was stunned, with his sharp eyes staring at Hailee intensely.
Hearing this, Margaretha looked at Ramon too and giggled.
On the other hand, Ramon ignored the two women and took a few slow steps toward his future wife, without looking away at all.
Hailee who was stared at like that, felt her face heating up, she tried to shift her gaze to either Liz or Margaretha, but as soon as Ramon got closer, it was as if a magnet forced her to focus all her attention on this man.
"So?" Hailee asked shyly when Ramon was standing in front of her. "What do you think? Beautiful?" Her voice sounded unsure, because under Ramon's gaze, Hailee could feel her heart beating much faster than usual.
Ramon didn't say anything, he just stretched out his hand and, as if Hailee could read what was on this man's mind, she put her hand on Ramon's palm.
However, Ramon could still feel the coldness of the hand in his grip, as he lifted Hailee's hand and made her turn slowly, showing her back to him before turning her around again so that they could look at each other.
"So?" Hailee asked again, her voice was now like a whisper, for some reason, the atmosphere was heavy.
Again Ramon didn't answer, but this time, he lowered his head very slowly, leaning forward so that his face was so close. His warm breath brushed Hailee's flushed face, making the girl forget her surroundings when she felt the man's soft lips against hers.
"Beautiful," Ramon replied against Hailee's lips, cupping her face with his big hands.
However, it turned out that Hailee wasn't the only one blushing, considering that they weren't alone in this room.
"Ugh, why is this room so hot?" Margaretha complained, fanning her face with her hand.
