Lyra was puzzled by Damienâs statement. âChange? Change into what?â
Cherise offered a faint smile and gestured towards Gwenn. Standing behind Cherise, Gwenn looked pale after Damien scolded her. âDespite her age, my sister lacks basic judgment. She arrived at the wedding dressed quite scantily and inappropriately. Sheâll get cold, so I brought her here to change.
Lyra instantly understood after Cherise explained. âI did bring a lot of clothes⦠The young girl in the wedding dress put her hand on her forehead and shook her head in frustration. âBut sheâs slightly plump. She probably wonât fit into my clothes.
Cherise dismissed the idea. âSheâs not here for your clothes.â She cast a meaningful glance towards Priscilla. âAunt Priscilla, donât you think she has a figure similar to yours?â
âShe could wear my clothes. Priscilla looked disdainfully at the ashen Gwenn. âHowever⦠I suspect she probably doesnât want to.â
Cherise stood up with a smile. âAunt Priscilla, youâve misunderstood. She came here specifically to wear your clothes.â
The atmosphere in the room grew tense, and everyone looked at Gwenn, shocked. Cheriseâs cousins stared in disbelief.
Despite the warm weather in Ziphon, Gwennâs revealing party dress was inappropriate for the wedding.
Moreover, everyone knew that todayâs wedding was unique, with the groom in a coma.
Gwennâs choice of attire was tasteless and unsuitable for the occasion. If she wasnât Cheriseâs sister, they would undoubtedly assume this woman was here to cause a scene. Everyone started to discuss Gwennâs dress.
Gwenn had always been treated as the Tanner familyâs beloved daughter. She had never been the subject of such gossip and wished she could disappear at that moment!
She never expected Cheriseâs relatives to be as judgmental and traditional as Cherise! She had always dressed provocatively. Not only did they not understand it, but they also mocked her!
Gwenn took a deep breath. âI apologize for dressing too casually.â She glared at Cherise. âIâve always dressed this way and never thought it was disrespectful. But if my father and sister deem it inappropriate, then it must be unsuitable. Since I have such a strong personal style, perhaps Iâm not suited to attend a commonerâs wedding.â
She turned to leave, but Lyraâs older brother, Lambert, stopped her. âMs. Tanner, you need to understand where you are and who youâre addressing.â
âEven a three-year-old knows not to wear pajamas to school. Didnât the Tanner family teach you this, Ms. Tanner?â He looked at Gwenn with a sneer. âEven mere commoners know how to dress appropriately for the occasion. Itâs about showing respect for others.â
âIf you lack such basic respect, Ms. Tanner, I wonder why the Miles family invited you to the wedding.â
Lambert forcefully pushed Gwennâs hand away. He turned and glanced at the Miles fantilyâs servant.
âTell the Miles family that the brideâs brother doesnât welcome Ms. Gwenn Tanner at the wedding.â
