Chapter 102 Trying On A Wedding Gown
“Could there be anyone else?” His words gently soothed Rachel’s worries.
Rachel thought it might be time to show more faith in him.
Having committed to marry him and picturing their life together, she realized she should not dwell on doubts.
They made their way to the bridal shop the next morning.
The wedding gowns, arrayed in splendid rows, radiated with dazzling purity and elegance, symbolizing the undying love all couples aspire to.
Brian clasped Rachel’s hand and confidently led her to the far end of the shop.
When the attendants noticed him, they quickly came forward, full of excitement. “Mr. White, your selected wedding gown has arrived! Would your fiancée like to try it on right now?”
“Yes.”
As they pulled back the curtain, revealing the gown, Rachel let out a surprised breath.
The gown surpassed the original design in beauty and liveliness.
Although her preference usually leaned towards simpler designs, the gown’s hem was intricately beaded with fine diamonds. It didn’t appear heavy but rather sparkled as if it encompassed an entire radiant galaxy. Its long
train gracefully cascaded along the floor. Merely gazing upon it was mesmerizing.
“Go ahead and try it on!” Brian suggested, his gaze alight with excitement.
“Sure.”
The attendant smiled and said, “Ms. Marsh, this way to the dressing room, please.”
It took Rachel about ten minutes to slip into the wedding gown.
As she gazed at her reflection in the mirror, she grasped why so many women cherish the dream of donning a
white wedding dress to marry their beloved.
The moment was saturated with joy and expectation, filled with a profound sense of holiness.
Already a beautiful woman, Rachel looked even more stunning and awe–inspiring in the gown.
An attendant, captivated by her appearance, exclaimed, “Ms. Marsh, you look absolutely magnificent, truly the
epitome of elegance.”
“I’ll bring Mr. White to see you now.”

Upon hearing that Brian was about to be summoned, a wave of nervousness washed over Rachel
“Wait! Just a couple more minutes, please!
She took a brief moment to steady her nerves.
Shortly after, a staff member approached Brian, saying, “Mr. White, Ms. Marsh is almost ready to come out.”
*Okay.”
Brian remained motionless, his intense gaze locked on the draped curtain that separated them.
When the fabric slowly drew back and revealed Rachel in her bridal attire, Brian’s breath was momentarily
suspended.
Rachel looked even more radiant than he could have ever envisioned.
It wasn’t just Brian who noticed; other customers in the boutique also couldn’t resist glancing her way more
than once.
The prolonged silence from Brian made Rachel’s heart clench with anxiety.
Tentatively, her hands tightly clasped, she inquired, hoping yet nervous, “Do I look okay?”
Brian moved towards her, and with each step he took, Rachel’s heart thudded more audibly.
Her heart was racing so fiercely it felt as though it might burst from her chest.
Bending slightly towards her, Brian’s voice tinged her ear like a spark. “What am I to do? I regret it all of a
sudden!”
“Does it not look good?” Rachel asked, her disappointment evident as she bit her lip.
Then, his reassurance followed swiftly. “It’s stunning, I feel like I should seclude you away to admire on my own, rather than let other men even dream of you.”
A sigh of relief escaped Rachel, and her features relaxed into a slow smile.
“I was on edge. Next time, skip the teasing,” she pleaded gently.
“Understood,” he replied, his smile warm with affection.
Right then, a staff member approached them. “Mr. White, is it time for your suit fitting now?”
“Yes, let’s do that.”
Brian had barely taken a few steps toward the dressing room when a lively voice called out from behind, “Brian!”
The voice sounded vaguely unfamiliar to Rachel
Rachel turned to see a young woman energetically approaching Brian and linking her arm through his. “Brian, you were supposed to tell me when you and your fiancee were picking out wedding attire so I could come along. You always forget your promises. Thankfully, I heard you were here, or I would’ve missed this. And you haven’t yet introduced me to your bride–to–be!*
The girl, standing next to Brian, was a bundle of energy, chatting nonstop.

Brian massaged his temples, a headache beginning to form. “Are you sure you’re not just here to cause trouble?”
The girl swiftly placed her hands on her hips and frowned. “Brian, I don’t appreciate that comment. I know
you’re not fond of me, but liking you is my choice, and nobody can change that.”
Brian gently pushed her away, his tone firm, saying, “Natalia, you’re like a sister to me. There will never be
anything romantic between us.”
Hearing this, Natalia Carpenter’s face took on a childish sulk, and she began to plead with teary eyes, “Why? I never stood a chance when you were with Tracy, and now with your new girlfriend, I’ve heard it’s just to make
Carol happy. If it’s all for Carol’s sake, why can’t it be me?”
Brian’s demeanor turned cold instantly.
He withdrew his hand, his tone turning cold. “Natalia, stop this foolishness. I won’t let you disturb her. I’m
calling your father now to have him pick you up.”
Natalia Carpenter’s fear surged as she clung to his hand, her plea becoming more desperate, saying, “Okay, I’ll
leave. Just, please, don’t tell my father.”
Brian gave a slight nod.
As he moved to change into his outfit, Natalia finally became aware of Rachel’s presence, who had been silently observing the interaction.
She was just about to depart.
However, a staff member then called out, “Ms. Marsh, your neckline seems quite plain. Let me fetch a necklace to complement Mr. White’s suit.”
Ms. Marsh? Rachel Marsh? Natalia halted abruptly, recognition dawning on her.
She knew Brian had gotten engaged upon her return, though she had yet to meet his fiancée, aware only of her
name.
Moving closer, she positioned herself next to Rachel.
Rachel stood quite tall, her stature accentuated by the high heels she wore, dwarfing Natalia slightly.
Consequently, Natalia had to tilt her head back to make eye contact.
“Are you Rachel, Brian’s girlfriend?” Natalia inquired, her voice carrying a challenging, inquisitive tone.
Rachel affirmed with a nod. “Yes, that’s me.”
Natalia scrutinized her from head to toe for a lengthy three minutes.
Finally, she said, “You’re very beautiful, even more so than Tracy. But…” Natalia straightened her posture, puffing out her chest confidently. “I’m not too shabby myself. Actually, I’m quite intrigued.”
Rachel, slightly startled, responded, “Intrigued by what?”
“I’m really curious why Brian would choose to marry you after being so committed to Tracy. He seemed to only have eyes for her back then.
