He rested his chin gently on her shoulder as he spoke, making the atmosphere ever so romantic and heartwarming-
“I like everything you draw.”
“I’ve discussed things with the designer. The dress will take three years from material selection to completion. Can you wait until then?”
“I’ll wait for it even if it takes 30 years,” Madison said. “There are so many diamonds on it. Why don’t we call it ‘Milia Stellae‘?”
“Sure. It’s all up to you.”
“Then, I’ll wear this dress only for you.”
Madison could still clearly recall the time they’d made this promise. She just needed to close her eyes to remember the smile that had spread on his lips that day. His gentle eyes shone like stars in the midnight sky, too.
Now, she didn’t need to wait for the dress anymore. All her waiting had brought her was seeing him give the dress to his new fiancée.
Madison recomposed herself before she headed home. Eve had packed her things in a hurry and moved to her house yesterday.
When Madison arrived home, Eve was humming and waving the spatula in the air as she prepared food in the kitchen. The years she’d spent saving money to pay that douchebag’s bills had made her develop excellent cooking skills.
As the broth boiled in the pot, she busied herself with the ingredients, mixing them together step by step until the dish’s aromatic fragrance filled the entire room.
It warmed Madison’s heart and made her feel as though she’d just climbed back from the depths of the underworld.
The aroma of the food helped improve her mood. It dissipated some of the sadness that had been weighing her down.
After stirring the broth with a ladle, Eve took a spoonful out of the pot, blew into it a couple of times, and tasted it. “Hmm. This isn’t bad. Madie will love this.”
“I like anything you cook,” Madison said as she entered the kitchen. Eve was the only person by her side now.
“You’re back! How’s your father?”
“The usual.”
“Don’t worry. He’ll get well soon. After all, you already donated all that money today. What a shame, too. You’re too generous.
Madison smiled. “You truly are a money–grubber. One needs to be alive to spend that money. No matter how much money we have, it’s useless when we die. It’s better to use it to help others.”
“You’re right. That money came from an asshole anyway, so you should spend it however you want. Otherwise, it’d go to that scheming bitch,” said Eve.
She continued, “I’ll never forget that he was the one who kicked me down the hill. As of late, I even dream of kicking him all the time.”
“Oh, Eve.” Madison couldn’t hold back a smile.
“Freeze.” A camera appeared in Everly’s hands out of nowhere. “Stay still. This is the smile I want to see.”
Madison covered her face with her hands. “You know that I don’t like taking photos.”
“I have to take more photos of you while you’re still in good shape. That way, I’ll have something to remember you by in case. you leave…” Everly’s voice trailed off.
Madison then took the camera from her and smiled softly.
“Then you must put on some filters for me. After all, women like to look pretty all the time. I’ll have to smile more so that you’ll feel better when you see these photos in the future.”
It was the night of the charity dinner, which had been fully organized and managed by the Crosby family. The Crosbys had announced that 10% of the money from the auction would be sent to charity.
However, everyone knew the truth–the Crosbys were facing some financial difficulties and were trying to earn some cash by selling off some of their items.
Those in Mr. Crosby Senior’s circle knew that he had an eye for invaluable collectibles, yet they kept quiet about it.
He’d liked hoarding valuables since he’d been young, so there were bound to be lots of treasures hidden in his house.
It wasn’t every day that one got to see him selling his prized possessions, and those who knew him had decided to attend the dinner as soon as they’d received the invitation.
Even those without much money came over to watch the show. The word on the street was that the Evans residence was going to be auctioned too.
Madison and Everly arrived just in time.
The latter poked her head out of the car window to take a look before saying, “You go ahead and head upstairs. I’ll park the car and meet you there. Save me a spot in the front row!”
“Alright.”
Everly had never attended something like this and thought that they could help each other grab a seat. The truth was, the seats were usually arranged for the guests in advance at events like this.
There were two ways the seating arrangement was determined: either according to one’s social status or based on the amount of money one had to offer.
Fortunately, Madison had asked Everly to settle the donation before they came, so she already had a seat reserved for her. She couldn’t simply sit wherever she wanted.
Unfortunately, as Madison neared the entrance, she realized she’d forgotten the invitation when the guards stopped her from entering.
“Miss, do you have a letter of invitation with you?”
The guard wasn’t trying to make things difficult for her. It was just that he’d never seen anyone wear a down jacket to an event like this. The dress code usually consisted of gowns and suits. On top of that, he could see that her down jacket was patched up in some places.
Frankly, Madison said, “It’s with my friend.”
“I’m sorry, but you have to wait for your friend before you two can enter together.”
Since it was a private event, Madison understood that the guard was merely doing his job.
Despite getting some looks from some of the guests that were entering the building, she straightened her back, trying to remain calm and composed.
It was at this moment that Andrea arrived with Calista, who had an arm hooked around the former’s.
Madison could hear Calista’s voice from afar as she said, “Andrea, I saw the dress in the interview. They say there are 3650 diamonds inlaid on it and that every diamond is a symbol of Mr. Williams’s love for you. I truly envy the love you two have for each other.”
Madison pressed her fingers hard into her palms, but she didn’t feel the pain. She had always thought that Hunter had designed Milia Stellae” for her and that all the diamonds were just part of the design.
Now she knew that it was to commemorate his and Andrea’s love.
Andrea was surrounded by a group of women in ostentatious clothes. When her gaze met Madison’s, she coolly looked away, not wanting to have anything to do with Madison. She didn’t want anyone to know about Hunter and Madison’s past.
Calista, on the other hand, was a completely different case. Madison had upset everyone when they’d had a meal together that day.
Besides, the Evanss had finally gone bankrupt as well. With Andrea by her side, Calista looked down on Madison even more.
“Isn’t this our class‘ genius? Why are you dressed so sloppily? When I saw you from afar, I thought you were a beggar.” Calista mocked her.
The guard chose to speak at this inappropriate moment. “Mrs. Williams, do you know this woman? She doesn’t have an invitation with her, but if you know her, you can go in together.”
“I don’t,” Andrea said curtly.
Calista tried to make things worse by telling the guard, “You should have your eyes checked. Don’t simply allow penniless people to sneak their way into an event like this.”
Calista added, “The New Year’s coming, so maybe she was trying to steal something after getting inside. I’m sure you can’t afford it if something goes missing.”
The guard nodded repeatedly at Calista. “I understand now. Thank you for your reminder, ma’am.”
Calista and Andrea rolled their eyes at him and finally entered the building. Just as the guard was about to ask Madison to leave, Brent, who’d come out for a smoke, saw them.
He immediately stepped in to stop the guard. Only then did the guard allow Madison to go inside.
