Chapter 107 Don't Flatter Yourself (Part One)

In the afternoon, Essie drew a few design sketches and gave them to Ivy to let her choose which one she wanted.

She had designed each one according to Ivy's figure, skin tone, and temperament. Ivy liked every one of them, and couldn't decide with one to choose, so she asked Daisy for some help.

Daisy looked at the design sketches and liked the vintage European chiffon skirt and the embroidered long skirt with Eastern lace very much. "Both of these are very beautiful, but since you have long legs, why don't you go with the short skirt?"

"Ha ha, I think this short skirt would suit me, too." With a smile, Ivy made her decision.

Hearing this, Essie nodded. Then, she turned to Daisy and said, "That lace embroidered long dress would look very good on you. I can make that dress for you with the same pattern as Ivy's dress to make your dresses look like sister outfits."

"Really? That would be great! Daisy, we shall wear our sister outfits for my birthday party," Ivy said happily.

Daisy was a little shocked to hear this. She didn't expect that Essie would do this for her. After all, she had not been kind to Essie at all. "I... I have a lot of clothes," she muttered in a very low voice. Even though she liked the long dress very much, she felt bad about letting Essie make if for her after what she had done to her before.

"But we don't have sister outfits!" said Ivy. Ivy was so looking forward to wearing sister outfits with Daisy. Knowing exactly what Daisy was thinking, Essie said no more. She took Daisy's hand with a smile and said, "Let's go. You and Ivy should come with me to the studio. I'll get your measurements."

Upon seeing how friendly Essie was towards her and realizing that she didn't blame her for anything at all, Daisy stopped pretending to not like the dress and immediately went upstairs with a smile.

Dinner time came.

As soon as the three of them walked out of the studio, they immediately ran into Valery.

The moment Valery saw Essie, a malicious and cold look flashed through her eyes. But then, she remembered

t him as if to say, 'Have you been neglecting her recently? It seems like she's been so lonely that she had to resort to playing with those two clowns.'

Getting exactly what he meant, Albert had to stifle his chuckle with a cough. He shot Zac another look. 'You nasty boy, your mother has gone crazy after searching for you for so long.'

Essie secretly watched father and son as they exchanged eye contact, and she couldn't help but laugh in her heart. Usually, mothers were kinder than fathers. However, this family was totally different. Zac's father was much kinder than his mother, and Albert seemed to know his son better. The relationship between father and son was obviously more harmonious than that between mother and son.

After all those years of being acquainted with Mary, Elizabeth had come to know her personality very well, and as long as her daughter could get along well with her mother-in-law, she was already halfway towards becoming a part of their family.

With a small smile, she said, "Mary, I think you should let Valery stay with you for a few days. It will not only strengthen her relationship with Zac, but also help her build her friendship with Essie."

"Okay, we are a family after all." Mary gave her consent without hesitation and immediately asked a servant to clean up the bedroom beside Zac's so that she could stay in the room next to him.
