Giselle avoided making eye contact with him, “Yeah, I know. You told me over the phone in the morning.”
N
Hearing her words, Harman nodded in satisfaction.
Giselle and Harman had appeared as an affectionate couple at the press conference. When it was over, Giselle saw Stoney’s assistant among the journalists when she was about to leave.
N
She was astonished and a little worried, thinking, Will Stoney be unhappy because I pretended to be affectionate towards Harman Sanders in front of the press?
N
After that, Giselle went to the design apartment to draw her draft.
N
Harman called her to ask for the design while she was drawing. She put a pinhole camera on a button on her clothes before she took the draft to him.
B
Seeing that it was half past four, and she still had hours to go before their wedding night, Giselle thought to herself.
‘Well, it seems that Stoney is a difficult man to deal with since he said that I needed to meet his s****1 needs right to my face. I’d better get prepared, otherwise, what if he gets dissatisfied with me and regrets getting married to me?
ㄖ
No, no, no. I can’t let that happen. If that’s the case, I might be forced to marry that good–for–nothing playboy. And Harman and Lynne will get away with what they did to me!
With that in mind, she went to the nearest lingerie shop.
As soon as Giselle entered the shop, she was greeted by the saleswoman enthusiastically, “Welcome to our shop. What can I do for you, ma’am?”
“Well… Um… Tonight is my wedding night. What kind of lingerie do you recommend?”
Giselle couldn’t help blushing. Her heart kept thumping fast. Calm down, Giselle. Calm down! You’re just buying a piece of lingerie. What are you nervous about? Giselle exclaimed in her heart.
Then the saleswoman brought her mind back to reality, “Ma’am, what kind of texture do you prefer? We have silk, lace, cotton and…”
“Which texture do you think men like best?” Giselle interrupted the saleswoman.
Hearing that, the saleswoman looked a bit surprised, but she answered calmly, “It depends. Some like lace while some sells best in our shop. But since it is your wedding night tonight, I recommend lace to you.”
prefer silk. Silk lingerie

“Okay, then. Show me all the lace lingerie you have.”
An hour later, Giselle still didn’t find the lace lingerie that suited her most. Just as she was about to leave for another lingerie store. The saleswoman stopped her.
И
“Wait a second, Mrs! This lingerie has just arrived ten minutes ago. I think you’ll look good in it. You should try it on.”

It was a babydoll lingerie. The cups were decorated with black lace patterns, which looked delicate. The loose–fitting fabric that fell between the hips and the belly button was champagne and translucent. The matching panties were also decorated with black lace patterns, and there were two tiny bows on each side.
Seeing Giselle dressed in the lingerie, the saleswoman’s eyes widened in amazement and she complimented Giselle, “Wow, Mrs. I must say that you look perfect in the lingerie. This lingerie outlines your figure in the best way.”

Hearing that, Giselle blushed more and she seemed to be satisfied with the lingerie. She said to the saleswoman, “I’ll take this then.”
И
However, the moment she went towards the fitting room, trying to take off the lingerie and change into her original clothes, the saleswoman stopped her again.
И
“Mrs, I know this is going to be somewhat awkward, but I want to tell you that, if you want to surprise your husband on your wedding night, you can keep the lingerie on you and wear a coat. In this way, you can surprise him by taking off your coat the moment you get home. Of course, this is my suggestion only.”

Giselle was quite surprised that the saleswoman would give her such a suggestion. She thought to herself, Wow! I’ve never imagined that it can work like that! But you seem quite experienced in terms of what to do on wedding night. I probably should listen to you.

Giselle followed the saleswoman’s advice and put on her coat. After that, she returned to her apartment and began to fix her makeup and do her hair.At half past six at night, Giselle had already finished doing her makeup and her hair.

At half past six at night, Gillina had already finished doing her makeup and her hair. Just when she was about to set off and go to Stoney’s place, she got a phone call. Then she rushed downstairs.

When she opened the door of the car, she saw Stoney sitting on the back seat. She was surprised and immediately got into the car, greeting him, “Mr. McGrady.”

Stoney glanced at her, savoring her words, “Tonight is our wedding night. Are you sure you’ll keep calling me Mr. McGrady?”
&
Giselle’s face turned red, “Uh…Sto…Stoney.”

Stoney frowned at her.
B
Giselle’s face then turned redder, “Sweet…heart?”
Stoney looked at her with his eyes twinkling, “Good.”
X
With her neck reddened, she looked down and then became as silent as the grave.
Stoney started talking thoughtfully, “I heard that you are still madly in love with Harman Sanders.”
区
Stiffened and embarrassed, Giselle immediately looked up and explained, “That’s not true. It was only a charade. I hope that you could understand that I was only putting on a show.”
X
Stoney said coldly, “I remember that you have taken a picture of Harman Sanders and that woman walking out of the courthouse. Is that right?”
Ø
Giselle answered, “Yes. And that woman is my half–sister.”
Ø
“I know.”
Ø
Then Giselle’s eyes turned red, and she said with hatred, “It’s not the best time to reveal the truth that Harman is cheating on me with my half–sister now. Making him notorious is certainly not enough to ease my rage and hatred towards him. I have already come up with many other ways to make him suffer more!”
z
And Giselle thought, I can give you everything when I fall in love with you, Harman. And I can take it all back when I fall out of love with you!
Ø
Stoney raised his eyebrows but didn’t say anything. He labeled her in his heart as a tough and clever woman who kept a clear boundary between love and hatred.
