Chapter 865

Skylar's smile faltered at Joe's lukewarm response. His "not bad" implied the wedding dress didn't quite meet his expectations, perhaps because the bride wasn't the one he'd envisioned. Realizing this, Skylar snapped back to reality. "Edgar, I think the dress I just tried on was lovely. Let's go with that one." She had no interest in trying on the others.

Edgar glanced at the remaining dresses. "Shall we skip those?"

"Yes, the one I tried earlier is definitely the best," Skylar replied, smiling.

"How about letting Mr. Martin see you try on the second dress?" Edgar suggested, remembering it looked quite good. If Joe saw it, he might find it even more appealing. He mused, "Let's see if Mr. Martin's attitude remains firm. What does 'not bad' even mean? It completely dampened Mrs. Martin's enthusiasm."

Skylar was about to refuse, thinking Joe wouldn't want to see it and it would be a waste of time. But before she could speak, Joe nodded. "Yes, you should try it." He then examined the remaining dresses, selecting one. "This one is nice too. You should try it."

Skylar tried on the second dress, then Joe's choice. His selection proved excellent; the dress flattered her figure and highlighted her neck. Captivated by her reflection, she realized the transformative power of finding the perfect wedding dress.

Suddenly, she met Joe's gaze in the mirror. His eyes held awe, admiration, and a hint of affection. They silently locked eyes.

The designer and staff remained silent, accustomed to witnessing tender moments between couples. However, this display of affection was particularly striking. Joe and Skylar looked even more stunning than movie stars, a fairytale couple. Indeed, there were different flavors of romance.

Watching, Edgar grinned, capturing the moment on video to send to Gloria. "Mrs. Martin Senior, look at this! Mr. Martin's eyes are glued to Mrs. Martin, and vice versa. These two are head over heels for each other. This is how love works—through mutual testing and gradual progress. Don't worry about them, they're doing fine. I never thought Mr. Martin would be so involved in choosing the wedding dress. He wouldn't have done this before."

Gloria was at a tea house with George and two friends. Seeing the video and message, she couldn't stop smiling. George noticed. "What's got you so happy?"

Gloria suppressed her grin. "At my age, what could be so exciting?"

A friend commented, "There are plenty of joys, like holding your great-grandchild. I just held mine the other day, and I'm so delighted."

Gloria raised an eyebrow. "I should be holding mine soon." There was nothing to boast about; she would hold her great-grandchild soon. But she had to say it. She felt Skylar and Joe's future children would surpass any great-grandchild.

At a bustling airport, Natalie, Austin, and her group had just cleared security. Suddenly, a staff member gasped quietly, "Is that Helena Hart? Who is that handsome guy next to her?"
