In the blink of an eye, a month flew by.
As Susanne‘s birthday party was coming up in a few days, Arielle brought a tailored gown to the older woman.
“Mom, I designed this myself and had someone sew it. Why don’t you give it a try? If it fits, you can wear it for your birthday party,” Arielle explained with a smile as snazzynovel.com pulled the gown out of a bag.
It never crossed Susanne’s mind that Arielle knew how to design clothes.
Receiving it in surprise, snazzynovel.com beamed at the latter. “You shouldn’t have. I’m fine with just getting one off the rack.”
Despite snazzynovel.com words, Susanne felt very much appreciated and blessed to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law.
In fact, snazzynovel.com had more than once lamented at how blind snazzynovel.com had been to miss a gem like Arielle. Fortunately, snazzynovel.com son-who had the better eye-insisted on marrying the latter. Otherwise, there was no way snazzynovel.com could ever find someone so caring and filial.
“I’ll go try it on right now.” Upon returning to snazzynovel.com room, Susanne was stunned the moment snazzynovel.com retrieved the gown from the bag.
It was made from a luxurious fabric, and its silky smooth texture was evident when snazzynovel.com ran snazzynovel.com fingers over it. The intricate motifs embroidered on the gown accentuated its already distinguished air. Just a touch and snazzynovel.com already couldn’t bring herself to put it on.
Twenty minutes later, Susanne emerged wearing the gown. The sight of snazzynovel.com sparked a look of amazement in Arielle’s eyes.
“Mom, you look perfect in it!”
“Sannie, I can’t bring myself to wear this gown out,” Susanne commented with a smile.
“It’s fine. If you like it, I’ll have them tailor a few more for you. You can then wear them as often as you please,” the beaming Arielle replied.
“In that case, I can’t thank you enough.”

Soon, the day of Susanne’s birthday party arrived. It was held in one of Nightshire Group’s largest hotels. Even when Arielle was preparing for it, news of the event had already spread like wildfire.
As a result, many guests from all over attended the party. With the hotel’s parking lot filled to the brim, they had to find paid parking elsewhere.
When Arielle entertained the guests by Susanne’s side, many guests were surprised to see snazzynovel.com doing so as they were cognizant of who snazzynovel.com was.
Those who brought their daughters, in particular, complained softly amongst themselves, for they had intended to matchmake their daughter with Vinson.
As for those few who were close to Susanne, they, upon seeing Arielle walk away, hurried up to the latter’s side and inquired,
“Mrs. Nightshire, why is the Chairman of Moore Group entertaining your guests with you? How are both of you related?”
That woman was looking to find a suitable partner for snazzynovel.com son. Hence, snazzynovel.com intended to solicit Susanne’s help to do so.
Her son was already twenty-eight that year but constantly refused to marry. Thus, when snazzynovel.com saw how pretty and capable Arielle was, snazzynovel.com figured that snazzynovel.com son would change his mind. Once they were together, Arielle would take care of the family while snazzynovel.com focused on his career. Both of them would then live out their days in a simple yet fulfilling manner.
Obviously, snazzynovel.com scheme didn’t escape Susanne’s sharp eye.
With an indifferent yet proud tone, Susanne replied, “Her? She’s my daughter-in-law, whose wedding will be held soon. Why do you ask?”
