Chapter 0194 Alexander looked momentarily surprised by the question but recovered quickly .
No , I havent put much thought into it yet , he admitted .
As Ive said before , I want your input .
I think it would be best if we chose your dress first , and then I can find a suit to complement it .
I suppose that makes sense , I replied softly , nodding .
When do you want to start looking for the dress ? he asked .
Do you still plan to take my mother shopping with you ? Shes asked me about it a couple of times she seems very excited about spending time with you and your mother .
A wave of unease washed over me at the mention of Diana , but I forced a smile to hide it .
Of course .
I need to get that planned .
I keep forgetting to ask my mother about it , but Ill do that when I get home and make sure shes okay with the arrangement .
I see no reason why she wouldnt be , Alexander said .
But please let me know once youve confirmed with her .
Ill make all of the arrangements so you dont need to worry about it .
Thank you , I replied .
Normally , I would argue against Alexander taking on more responsibility for the wedding , but the idea of contacting Diana on my own left me uneasy .
The comments she had made about Alexander when we first met still lingered uncomfortably in my mind .
I didnt trust myself to handle a private conversation with her again , even over the phone .
Well , now thats all settled , Alexander said , leaning back in his chair .
Are you staying for dinner ? I wish I could , I said regretfully .
But Ive been gone all day , and there are some things I need to help my father with .
Of course , he said with a small nod .
In that case , I wont take up any more of your time .
Let me know once youve gotten home safely .
It felt a bit abrupt to leave like this , but I noticed the way his gaze kept drifting back to the notebook on his desk .
He clearly had work he was eager to return to , and I didnt want to hold him up .
I will , I replied , standing up .
Have a good evening , and thank you for everything today .
Theres no need to thank me , Alexander said , standing as well .
Well talk soon .
Alexander walked me to the door , where James was already waiting in the hallway .
Thanks , I murmured , feeling awkward but grateful for the gesture .
Alexander nodded briefly before retreating back into his office .
James and I headed downstairs , and I saw that a car was waiting for me Alexander must have arranged it the moment we left .
The long drive home was filled with thoughts about the wedding venue and everything still left to do .
Excitement swirled within me , but so did a nervous energy that I couldnt quite shake .
Before I knew it , the car was pulling up in front of my house .
My mother stood out front , her arms crossed as if shed been waiting for me .
I sighed deeply , knowing I couldnt put off talking to her any longer .
I had to arrange the dress shopping trip with her and Diana , no matter how much I dreaded it .
As I stepped out of the car , I steeled myself .
Dianas past comments about Alexander still lingered in my mind , and I couldnt help but worry that her negativity might worsen my mothers own hesitation about him .
