Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother
Chapter 649

"Try this first." Colin pointed at the blue dress that drew his attention in the display window.

Blue was my favorite color. Regardless of its hue, I loved it. The salesperson guided me to the dressing room. I looked at my reflection in the waist-length mirror in the cubicle. Then, I tied my ponytail into an elegant bun. I tilted my head left and right. If I had matching earrings, it'd be even more perfect.

Many people had told me that when I sat down, I looked like a sophisticated woman in a painting. As I admired myself, my plain makeup and classy bun did make me look like a Renaissance beauty. I walked out of the dressing room and stopped before Colin.

Perhaps my dress was a bit tight, or perhaps I was feeling like royalty, my gait changed into that of a noble, dainty princess. They often said the first impression was decided by what one wore. And I couldn't agree more with that sentiment.

"How gorgeous! It's as if the dress is made for you. Miss, you're the only customer I've seen who matches this dress so flawlessly."

Colin had not taken his eyes off me ever since I walked out of the dressing room. He was getting slightly breathy. In his eyes, there was adoration that he tried to suppress and burning desires.

"Do I look good?" I performed a curtsy like those elegant women did in period dramas. If I had a hat, I'd look even more attractive.

Disregarding the presence of several salespersons around us, he stood up and pulled me into his embrace. Then, he whispered into my ears, "Babe, you're like a painting. Can I collect you?" My heart began beating uncontrollably. He was trying to seduce me again. I wasn't that beautiful, okay?

I tried all five different dresses in the boutique. The excitement in Colin's eyes never disappeared. Every time I tried on a new dress, he whispered compliments into my ears. It made me happy and filled the onlookers with envy.

When we went to pay, the shop owner came to handle our transaction personally. She said she had never seen anyone who could pull off those dresses perfectly and gave us a 10% discount.

Like a frugal woman, I counted how much money I had saved by getting that 10% discount. My gesture made Colin ruffle my hair affectionately.

That night, my ears were still hot and tingly from the compliments I had received. Colin was extra touchy when we were in bed. He kept caressing me and touching me. Before we went to Jasmine's birthday party, I put on Colin's favorite dress and tied my hair into a bun. Then, I donned pearl white earrings and high heels of the same color.

After I got changed, I stood before the dresser mirror and was content with how my attire had turned out. The only thing lacking was a pair of more matching earrings.

Alas, it'd be difficult to replace earrings that matched the dress. Nevertheless, I was satisfied with my outfit. Life was long, and there would be times when we couldn't have what we wanted. It was okay to replace beauty in imperfection.

I tidied the hair next to my ears and smiled at my reflection. Colin knocked and came in from the door behind me. He simpered as he stared at my reflection. Surprise and affection threatened to ooze from his eyes.
