Husband

The designer came forward to take a closer look. “Someone has cut the wedding dress. She pointed at the rip. “It is a neat cut, but the placement is random, almost as though a mischievous child did it” 

It was what Averie wanted to hear. Satisfaction flashed in her eyes as she hurriedly examined the other wedding dresses. “Oh no! They are all damaged… 

She went through all the wedding dresses. None of them was spared. Each sustained varying damage. Who could have done this? Why would they do this?” Averie began to cry. “It’s unlucky to wear a damaged wedding dress. I heard the groom will have bad luck if the bride wears a damaged wedding dress- 

Averie looked at Carlos nervously, crying harder than ever. “Carlos, I won’t let anything happen to you. I’ll go to the church on the city outskirts to pray for you 

Averie rushed to leave. She didn’t even have time to wipe her tears, afraid Carlos would be in trouble. 

“Come back.” Carlos’s harsh tone softened. It wasn’t because Carlos pitied her, but Averie’s love for him mirrored Vera’s NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Carlos could also see the greed and calculation in Averie’s eyes. Even if Averie was acting, it was one of the few things Carlos could grasp at the moment related to Vera 

“Carlos… Averies tears flowed, ruining her delicately applied makeup. 

Carlos couldn’t hear it and gave Averie a tissue. “Go wash your face and fix your makeup How could they proceest with the photo shoot with her makeup ruined? More time was wasted. 

Thinking Carlos was concerned, Averie took the tissue, grazing his fingers. Her heart trembled. Who would have known that she, the favored hancée, had never held her fance’s hand? 

“Hurry up” Carlos disdainfully used disinfectant wipes to clean b his hands repeatedly after Averie left. 

The wedding dress designer hastily brought her assistant over to assure Carlos the dresses were intact when delivered to the villa Carlos then called the supervising servant. 

The servant’s eyes were evasive, and he didn’t give a straight answer, eventually getting to his knees. 

“What’s this! Get up.” Carlos hadn’t decided how to punish the servant yet. 

The servant stammered and shook. “It was Mr. Neil. He sneaked in 

Carlos’s gaze turned cold. “Say that again” 

The servant trembled even more. “It’s Mr. Neil. He had a pair of scissors.” 

Carlos refused to believe it. His son was the most obedient and sensible. 

However, another servant also said he saw Neil entering the room where the wedding dresses were temporarily stored with scissors. Plus, the dresses were all ripped where a five–year–old child could easily reach. As the only child in the house, Neil appeared suspicious. 

Carlos shook his head, not wanting to pursue it further. 

Averie, who had been paying attention, couldn’t bear to let it go. She had bought off the two servants at a high price. She quickly reapplied a light. makeup and rushed out of the restroom. “Carlos, please don’t blame Neil‘ 

Carlos liked light makeup because Vera had always worn it that way 

“Neil has grown up and knows I am not his biological mother. Since you’re marrying me, he may have developed animosity toward use, undentand. Mease don’t blame him. 1 should have spent time with him, but I was too busy. Otherwise…” As she spoke up for Neil, Averie’s voice trailed of, and the started crying againe 

Averie appeared to forgive Neil for cutting the wedding dresses, but she wanted Carlos to believe that his son had done something wrong to her so 

suld compenute her 

“Its not your fault” Carlos disliked women who tried and made a scene. However, given the situation, he had to console her reluctantly. 

“Mr. Monror “The family doctor rushed in then and reported, “There’s nothing wrong with the fork Mr. Neil used, but the broccoli he air wasn’t fresh li might be due to the fund‘ 

With that Avene was cleared of suspicion. The fork was fine, and Neil falsely accused her of 

Sus stomach ache 

Averie looked at the doctor and was about to express her gratitude when she brand a voice through the earpiece concealed by her hair saying. “Will 

12:48 PM 

Averie pretended to care and repeated the question. 

Everything Averie had said was taught to her by the person on the other end of the carpnece. 

“Oh. It’s not a big deal. The family doctor and others now thought highly of Averie. Though she was wrongly accused by Neil, she cared about him. 

“That’s good” Averie breathed a sigh of relief. She walked over to Carlos and spoke gently, “Carlos, please don’t blame Neil. He is resistant because I’ve spent too little time with him. How about this? I’ll pick him up and drop him off at school from now on. That way, we’ll be closer. What do you think? I know I can never compare to has biological mother, but Neil is pitiful, being born that way… I only want to give him a linke motherly love.” Averie even shed tears as if genuinely sympathizing with Neil 

Neil was indeed Carlos’s soft spot. He wouldn’t object to more people caring for Neil. Moreover, they still need to perform at the wedding. His plan might be affected if his son continued to dislike Averie, 

“Let’s talk about it later, Carlos approved tacitly. 

“Thank you. Carlos, I will try my best. If that bastard was willing to call her “Mom, Averie’s position as Mrs. Monroe would be secure. 

“Let’s proceed with the finting and photo shoot. Too much time had already been wasted, and Carlos had important meetings to attend. 

“What? How can we continue when the wedding dresses are ruined? Averie wanted to make new ones. She glimpsed dissatisfaction in Carlos’s eyes and explained hurriedly. “I mean, will it affect the photos? If there were a problem with the photos, it would affect Carlos’s plan. 

Carlos stated, “We can blur it. They intended to make it look like unedited photos were leaked. Did Averie think they were doing it for realt 

“Okay” Averie was furious. She couldn’t believe she was asked to wear ruined wedding dresses for the bridal photoshoot. It was something Carlos was capable of. However, Averie dared not express any dissatisfaction. 

The voice in the earpiece kept reminding her to play the rule of a virtuous wife and mother, or she would never become the real Mrs. Monroe
