NovelOnlineChapter 466
There were two boxes on the bed, each holding a different style of nightgown- one sweet and playful, the other a
bit sultry.
But nothing too risqué. The designs just had a few clever little details.
Worried Sylvia might not get the full picture, Reese pulled both nightgowns out and held them up for her to see.
Then, apparently not satisfied, she draped them in front of Sylvia for comparison.
"That's not enough," Reese declared, and went so far as to hold them each up against Sylvia's body to judge
their effect.
"Sylvia, | swear, I'm so jealous of you. You're gorgeous, you've got the perfect figure—seriously, you could make
a burlap sack look good."
Sylvia was caught off guard. She had to steady her breathing before managing a polite, almost bashful smile.
She instinctively pushed the nightgown away. "Oh, con, you'd look great too. Why don't you just keep them
both and we can swap sometimes?"
Reese giggled, twirling a lock of hair. "Which one should | wear first, though? | was thinking I'd save one for the
night of the engagement party. You have to helppick-the one that'll make sure Mr. Rupert can't take his eyes
off me."
She blushed, but the excitement and affection in her eyes were impossible to miss.
Sylvia found herself almost flinching from the brightness of it all. She dropped her gaze, feeling a sting of envy or
maybe regret.

Reese pouted. "This whole Garcia family is so stuffy-who else can | ask? You're
a designer, so | know you've got good taste."
She squeezed Sylvia's hand, pleading with her eyes.
Sylvia couldn't bring herself to say no. She pointed at the cute, subtly sexy
nightgown. "This one. It's sweet, but it's got a little edge."
Reese's cheeks flushed pink. "Didn't know Uncle Rupert was into that kind of thing."
"That's not what | meant," Sylvia stammered, embarrassed.
Reese winked. "I get it. | think he'll like it too. Back in college, he used to tell
people | was pretty adorable, actually."
She beamed, glowing with happiness.
By contrast, Sylvia's reflection in the window looked nearly translucent, her face pale even in the sunshine.
She forced a smile, playing along.
After all, it was just a bit of fun for a married couple. What she wore didn't matter.
What mattered was the person wearing it.
Rupert loved Reese.
At that moment, there was a knock at the door.
"Ms. Sanford, your luggage has arrived. Would you like shelp unpacking?" a maid asked politely.
"No need, I've got it. Just put them in the walk-in closet, thanks," Reese replied, waving her hand.
The maids nodded and began carefully carrying box after box into the closet.
Sylvia stood aside, watching as Reese opened the top suitcase and started hanging up her coats right next to
Rupert's shirts.
When she opened the accessories drawer, Reese suddenly frowned. "Huh? What's this doing here?"
Sylvia, curious, took a step forward, but one of the maids stopped her.
"Ms. Lloyd, if you'd please move aside-Mr. Rupert said Ms. Sanford's things are very valuable. We need to be
careful."
The implication was clear: she was in the way.
Reese quickly interjected, "Oh, it's
nothing super valuable-just spurses, honestly, they're fine. Sylvia, don't worry about it."
Sylvia glanced at the tiny designer purse Reese had slung across her shoulder-
small enough to fit just a phone.
She really did use it as a phone case.

"Thanks, Sylvia!" Reese called, waving as she left.
Sylvia slipped quietly out of the room.
Inside, Reese rummaged through her closet and pulled out a deep burgundy scarf.
She turned to the maids. "Is this Mr. Rupert's?"
