Chapter 484:
Her simple white dress hugged her figure, transforming her into an emblem of grace and poise. As she tilted her head to shut the door, the elegant line of her neck caught the light, adding a touch of old-world charm to her silhouette.
When she turned, the overhead light caught her eyes, making them sparkle, the slight upturn at the corners of her eyes adding a mysterious allure to her smile, her lips a soft, inviting pink.
Upon locking eyes with her, Ector couldn’t contain his admiration. “You look beautiful,” he said, his voice laden with genuine awe. Fernanda responded with a modest smile, her fingers deftly tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
It was a simple gesture that exuded an unspoken elegance.
Downstairs, the Morgan household buzzed with a rare formality. Kevin, too, had opted for a suit and tie, embracing the evening’s formal vibe. Fernanda chose a solitary seat on another sofa, casually pouring herself a glass of water.
As she descended the stairs earlier, she sensed the gazes fixed on her but chose to remain nonchalant.
Erika, lingering in the background, gripped her dress—a silent admission of envy.
The sight of Fernanda descending the staircase left Erika breathless, as though a woman had stepped right out of a classical painting. With each step Fernanda took, Erika felt overshadowed, a dull stone next to a radiant gem.
Despite her own dress, adorned with gems and pearls, Erika felt all eyes magnetically drawn to Fernanda.
The piercing sound of a car horn and a call from Bobby snapped everyone back to the present.
Fernanda ended the call and announced, “Bobby’s here. I’m off.”
Her heels clicked against the floor with authority as she strode to the door, her coat elegantly draped over one shoulder.

Michelle exchanged a knowing look with Erika, sighed deeply, and held her peace.
On the ride to the destination, Bobby was effusive with his compliments, his words tinged with astonishment.
“Wow, damn, Fernanda, you look absolutely stunning. It’s like… I can’t even put it into words. When you stepped into the car, it was as if a celestial being had graced the earth. You’re beautiful, really. This outfit is just perfect on you. Amazing figure, too. Hope I’m not being too crude here, but I’m at a loss for words. I wish I’d met you sooner… I’d have pursued you in a heartbeat. But alas, my heart belongs to Wendy now. I’m sorry.”
Fernanda was at a loss for words.
His apology, sincere though it might have been, was unnecessary.
As the clock neared six, Bobby navigated through the crisp winter evening to the venue of the banquet.
The sky had succumbed to darkness early, lit only by the dazzling array of lights that punctuated the landscape.
