Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love

Chapter 172

"Enough. Let's talk business. What ideas do you have for my wife's gown?"

Matthew forcefully redirected the conversation back to the main topic. Lucy perked up, knowing that they had arrived at the main focus of today.

Richard stopped fooling around and started to show his professional side. He skillfully scanned Lucy. The more he observed, the more impressed he

was.

"Your wife has an excellent figure. She's considered perfect according to beauty standards. Her skin is exceptionally fair, and with her grace, she's truly exquisite."ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Despite being judged by Richard, Lucy was not the slightest bit upset. Perhaps it was because of Richard's attentive and earnest demeanor. He seemed like he was genuinely committed to designing the perfect gown for her.

After meticulously taking Lucy's measurements, Richard lowered his head in contemplation for a moment. Then, he looked up with an air of confidence.

"Matthew, I think I have an idea for a design that would suit your wife. Like I mentioned earlier, lilies are a perfect match for your wife."

Matthew raised his eyebrows. "Alright. I trust your vision."

Lucy simply listened as Richard spoke about the details and elements he would use to design the gown for her.

She fell silent for a moment, feeling a mix of sadness and bitterness. Was anyone going to ask for her opinion? She was the one wearing the gown, after all.

Matthew sensed the changes in Lucy's mood, so he caressed her head and comforted her, "Don't overthink it. It's not that we don't value your opinion, but Richard is the best fashion designer in the world.

"He's had many fashion shows in Paris, so it's okay to leave it all to him. He'll definitely design a gown that suits you the best."

Listening to Matthew's explanation, Lucy felt relieved. Matthew always wanted the best for her, and this time was no exception. She decided not to dwell on it too much.

After all, as long as the gown turned out beautiful in the end, that was all that mattered.

"I'm done with the design. Come and take a look."

Lucy was surprised to hear that. Already? It had not even been 20 minutes yet. How was he already done with the design?

She began to doubt her judgment earlier. Still in disbelief, she walked up to see what Richard had sketched.

Richard pointed to the drawing and said, "This is only the first draft, but this is how the gown will look like. What do you think?"

The sketch resembled an

the skirt of the dress, while the

bodice featured a gorgeous sweetheart neckline with straps and

a lovely ribbon decoration around the neck.

He also sketched the back of the dress, and Lucy was surprised to see a deep V-shaped open-back design. Other than the bow tied around the neck, there were no other details on the dress. It was a dress that would truly put one's figure to the test.

That did not mean that one had to have a sexy and curvy figure but rather the right proportions. Only those with perfect proportions could pull off the design of this dress.

Although it was a quick sketch, Lucy was very pleased with the design, simply because it looked stunning.

On the contrary, Matthew had some complaints about the design.
