Chapter 638
When Love Comes Late
The folds of the gown hid her baby bump perfectly.
Everything about the dress was perfect.
From the color, to the design.
Everything.
Purple was a muted color, and the dress was elegant and dignified, which complemented her noble temperament.
She stated at her reflection in the mirror and rubbed her bump in satisfaction.
Mahlon, one of the maids, walked up to her, holding her gaze in the mirror.
âThis gown is tailored perfectly for you, Mrs.
Burke.
Itâs absolutely perfect and stunning.
â
Mrs.
Burke smiled, content.
âSlater really is something.
His skills never cease to surprise me.
â
The door suddenly opened, revealing Shiloh, Mrs.
Burkeâs husband.
His eyes lit up at the sight of her.
âWhatâre you doing here?â Mrs.
Burke asked.
âI was passing by and heard your voice, so I just had to come check in.
â He walked over to her, gently drawing closer to him by her waist.

âYou look stunning, my love.
This dress is perfect.
Are you picking it? You should.
â
Mrs.
Burke chuckled lightly as she playfully pushed him off of her.
âWhat do you know? I could wear a trash bag, and youâd still say I look beautiful.
â
Shiloh smiled widely, letting her go back to what she was doing.
She took one last look at herself in the mirror, lost in thought.
The dress was perfect, yes.
But something felt missing.
She just couldnât put her finger on it.
She pulled the gown off as her gaze landed on the box containing Stellaâs design.
Stellaâs dress lay there, waiting to be unboxed.
Mrs.
Burke opened the box, took one quick glance at it, and closed the lid.
She changed back into her normal clothes and walked out of the dressing room.
Mahlon watched her curiously.
âMaâam, youâre not trying the other dress?â
âNo.
Iâve never worn anything like it before.
I donât think itâll suit me.
â A tinge of disappointment laced Mrs.
Burkeâs tone.
âJust choose Slaterâs then,â Shiloh said.
