Those dresses are so pretty!”noveldrama</p> <p>Sadie followed his gaze and saw a bridal shop’s display, its elegant white gowns shimmering under the store lights.</p> <p>“When I grow up, I’ll buy you the most beautiful wedding dress,” Averi declared in his sweet, innocent voice.</p> <p>Sadie’s heart skipped a beat. Her eyes softened as she looked at her son, emotions swirling inside her.</p> <p>She and Noah had already gone their separate ways. The thought of ever wearing a wedding dress again felt impossibly distant.</p> <p>“That’s so sweet of you, Averi. I’ll thank you in advance,” she said with a gentle smile, masking the tinge of sadness in her heart.</p> <p>Just then, a young saleswoman from the bridal shop approached them, her tone enthusiastic.</p> <p>“Excuse me, we’re from True Love Bridal Shop, and we’re currently running a special promotion.

So pretty!” Averi exclaimed, pointing at a dress adorned with Swarovski crystals.</p> <p>“You’re right. It is beautiful,” Sadie replied with an indulgent smile.</p> <p>“You two have great taste,” the saleswoman interjected. “This wedding dress is our store’s signature piece, the ‘Starlight.’ It symbolizes a love as brilliant and eternal as the stars in the sky. And this one, over here, is a piece we call ‘Enchanting.’ It is entirely hand-sewn, and the lace is handmade by tradesmen in Maradeiris. No one can go wrong with lace, especially with imported, high-quality lace. And this one…”</p> <p>The saleswoman went on to introduce every dress, detailing their main features and the meaning behind their designs.</p> <p>Sadie just smiled and listened, though her gaze would often linger on some of the dresses.</p> <p>She finally settled on a simple yet exquisite piece. The dress had minimal embellishments, just a thin band of delicate pearls around the waist. It screamed elegance and class.</p> <p>.</p> <p>.</p> <p>.</p> </body></html>
