LittleNovelChapter 795: The dress had been custom-made for Leah, and whether it could be taken or displayed elsewhere was ultimately her decision.
Leah's eyes lit up, her thoughts already running ahead. "Of course. This isn't just my dress-it's your design too." If Adalynn won the championship, Leah could capitalize on the attention, gaining sspotlight herself.

"Can I try it on now?" Leah's eagerness was palpable.
Adalynn smiled warmly. "Of course." Leah stood before the mirror in the dress, her face glowing with delight. She turned toward Bruce. "Bruce, do I look good?" Bruce, sitting in the waiting area, looked up, his gaze following her movements. Under the lights, Leah appeared nothing short of stunning. The dress hugged her figure perfectly, but there was something missing. The cool elegance the dress called for didn't quite align with her natural warmth.
In that moment, an image of Corrine-cool, composed, and effortlessly elegant-flashed into his mind. If only she were wearing this dress, it would fit her like a second skin. For a fleeting second, Bruce was transported back to their wedding day, seeing Corrine in her wedding gown, standing before him, flowers in hand.

Ever since seeing Corrine in the most exclusive VIP room of Gourmet Spot, Bruce had been unable to shake the feeling that his life had been turned upside down.

Since Bruce had crossed paths with Corrine at the Gourmet Spot, he seemed like a different man. Could it be that Bruce was having second thoughts? Leaving Adalynn's studio, Leah had originally planned to go shopping with Bruce. However, Bruce politely turned her down, mentioning that he had spressing work matters to attend to at the company.
"Since you're busy, I won't be a bother," Leah said, feigning understanding. "But remember, you e must accompanyto the charity event tonight. If we're seen apart, who knows what kind of rumors will start circulating."
"I'll be there," Bruce replied, squeezing her hand gently before walking away.
Once he was out of sight, Leah's face tightened with frustration. She m quickly pulled out her phone and dialed Bruce's assistant. "Has Bruce had any social events recently?"
