Chapter 0204 Chapter 0204 Well , I want to try something a bit different this time , I said thoughtfully .
What can you show me in a princess cut ? The mans eyes lit up .
Princess gowns ? Excellent choice ! He turned to my mother and Diana , gesturing for them to follow him .
Ladies , he said with a flourish , if youll come with me , Ill show you the section where we keep our princess style dresses .
Id love for each of you to pick a few that you think will suit our bride , and well go from there .
How fun ! Diana said , clearly delighted .
The next hour passed in a blur of laughter and warm compliments .
It was nothing like the first time my mother and I had done this when Amanda had been snide and pouting the entire time .
Diana , in stark contrast , seemed genuinely enthusiastic .
She complimented my figure and my smile as I tried on each dress , and I was surprised to find that it was her pick I ended up liking the most .
The gown was a stunning princess style dress with a delicate lace train and a sweetheart neckline , which I paired with a long veil .
As I turned from the mirror , a thrill of excitement coursed through me the kind I hadnt felt the first time .
What do you think ? I asked , looking at my mother hopefully .
She studied me seriously for a moment before a wide smile broke across her face .
I think its perfect , she said happily .
You really do look like a princess .
Or a movie star , Diana added .
I just knew that one would suit you .
Not that the others havent , but I think this one is especially good .
I agree , my mother said .
I think weve found the dress .
I always love when we have success on the first day , the consultant said , looking me over approvingly .
Why dont you get changed back into your regular clothes , and Ill start writing up your order .
Okay , I replied , smiling at Diana .
Will you text Alexander and let him know well be heading to the restaurant soon ? Of course , dear , she said warmly .
My mother pulled out her phone to snap a few photos of me in the dress .
Youll need these to show the tailor , she explained .
Theyll help him design Alexanders outfit .
Once she had taken a few pictures , I headed back to the changing room .
I had such a wonderful time that I began to wonder if I had misunderstood Diana the last time wed spoken .
She seemed so genuinely happy for Alexander and me , and the way she interacted with my mother made it clear she cared deeply about her family .
Perhaps Id been overly paranoid that day , reading too much into her concern .
Guilt pricked at me , and I thought I might owe her an apology in some way .
But considering she had no idea Id even been upset , bringing it up now would probably seem silly .
All my good feelings vanished as I made my way back from the dressing room .
Coming down the hallway , I couldnt help but overhear Diana speaking to my mother .
I wasnt trying to eavesdrop , but her voice carried clearly .
I dont mean to speak poorly of my own son Im sure you understand , Diana said .
Its just that Alexander 1/2 Chapter 0204 has such a colorful history with women .
Ella assured me those were just rumors , my mother replied firmly .
