Chapter 361
The Substitute Bride Doted by My Billionaire Husband
Chapter 361 Her Birthday Present
Wealthy families valued their children and bloodline the most. The four major families in Imperial had sons who would inherit their familyâs wealth. But Damien Robert only had one daughter.
Nora didnât feel so secure about not having a son, and that had always been a thing of sadness to her.
Nora wanted giving Damien a son in order to secure her position, but she rarely even saw Damien, and that made her dreams futile.
Nora was very strong. Just like her father Mr. Paulo, she didnât want others to see through her predicament, so she quickly laughed and replied.
Having another child is already in our plan. Weâll have another child once weâre ready. Thank you all for your
concern.
Crystal had arrived with Elvis, so she asked her mother,
âMum, what are you guys talking about? You all seem to be having a good time.â
âMiss Crystal, we were discussing with your mother, and she was telling us that youâll have a brother soon.â The lady replied.
âReally?â Crystalâs questioned in excitement.
âMurn, then you and dad should hurry up and give me a brother already. I really want a younger brother!â Crystal added happily.
Crystal was different from other children. Other children wouldnât have liked the idea of having another sibling. Because they would have feared not being loved anymore once the new child arrives. But in crystalâs case, she was really happy.
Crystalâs parents had been seperated for a long time. She really wanted her father and mother to reconcile. In recent years, she didnât really feel welcomed in either of her parentâs family.
Crystal had a lot of identity crisis. She wanted her parents to reconcile and give birth to another child, so that she would consolidate her position and interests.
Nora nodded lovingly and said to Crystal, âCrystal, think about yourself, okay? When will you and Elvis get married, and then give birth to a beautiful child? Weâre all waiting for our grandchild.â
Crystalâs smile swiftly disappeared. She had even forgotten about Elvisâs physical problem. She replied shyly.
âWe will soon, mum.â
The scene was funny to behold. Soon, the entire attention was drawn to Nora and Crystal.
Mrs. Robert who had been silent the entire time pointed to the starry blue dress on Crystalâs body and she asked in surprise,
âCrystal, where did you get that dress from?â
âThe dress?â Crystal held her dress and circled like a little princess. She smiled happily and replied,
âGrandma, thank you for the surprise. I really love this dress.â
Mrs. Robert was silent for a while, and then she said,
âCrystal, youâre mistaken. This dress wasnât prepared for you, and what youâre wearing is a fining sample.â
In tailoring, especially when sewing long dresses, it required lots of tedious steps. Amongst the steps were repeated
testing of samples. The fitting samples were all flawed. And the dress on Crystal was just a sample!
Crystal froze on the spot. She looked at Mrs. Robert in disbelief.
âWhat? Grandma, are you mistaken? You mean that Iâm wearing a sample? And besides, if the dress wasnât meant for me, whom was it prepared for?â
Noraâs expression also changed, and she turned and looked at Mrs. Robert.
âMum, whatâs going on?â She asked confusingly.
Suddenly, the door of the hall was pushed open, and two figures appeared before everyoneâs sight.
Marvin and Olive had arrived!
Everyoneâs gaze instantly fell on them. Upon seeing the long dress on Olive, the entire crowd gasped.
Today, Olive was clothed in the starry, blue dress that Mrs. Robert had given her. The shoulder straps hung on her smooth shoulders, revealing a large area of her delicate beautiful body.
Originally, the fitting sample on Crystalâs body was beautiful. But now that Olive appeared, they were afraid to compare, but Oliveâs dress was obviously the real deal!
When Nora and Crystal saw the dress on Olive, their eyes widened in shock. They couldnât have thought that Olive would wear the original dress.
Nora and Crystal felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them.
Elvis who had stood quietly, not participating in the conversation amongst the ladies, suddenly seemed interested at what was going on the moment Olive walked through the door.
Even though he knew that Olive was beautiful. Elvis was still amazed each time he saw her.
However, Elvisâs gaze soon fell on Oliveâs liute hand. Her right hand was intimately wrapped around Marvinâs hand. While watching them, Elvisâs eyes instantly displayed gloom.
Mrs. Robert swiftly stepped forward and extended her hands lovingly to Olive.
âOlive, dear, youâre finally here. Grandma has been awaiting you. Come give grandma a hug.â The old lady muttered happily.
Olive concluded that she couldnât stop Mrs. Robert from referring to herself as her grandmother, so she moved closer and hugged the old lady lightly.
âI have a present for you.â Olive whispered into her ears as she disengaged from the hug
âReally? Quickly bring out your gift. Iâm so excited to see it!â Mrs. Robert exclaimed ecstatically.
Olive took out her gift from her bag. It was the earmuff that she had knitted with wool.
It was already late autumn and winter was fast approaching. The earmuff was knitted by Olive and it was fluffy. It was created to keep the lady warm.
âMrs. Robert, since you informed me late, I had used the past two days to sew this. Please donât dislike it.â
