Chapter 33 The Painful Past, The Enchanting Present

• We headed toward the apartment we used to live in before I left. We were getting ready to go to the hotel’s party hall, where Adrien mentioned that our families had a welcome gathering planned. Although he assured me that his parents already knew everything, I felt a bit embarrassed at the idea of being in front of them.
• I wore a beautiful strapless white dress with a flared skirt, and I paired it with red heels. This time, I decided to leave my hair down. When I stepped out of the dressing room, Adrien looked at me and smiled. He wore a dark blue suit and a light blue shirt. I couldn’t help but gaze at him like I did the first time we met.
• — You look beautiful, as always — Adrien commented, with a hint of tenderness.
