    Chapter 35


    “Can you believe this guy?” grumbled Yvonne. She shot a re at Lucas. “He’s always like that. He


    never talks. All he cares about is reading medical journals all day… Please don’t mind the nerd, E!”


    Ste chuckled.


    “You two make such a great pair!” she eximed.


    “You think so?” Yvonne replied. She seemed a little surprised, though it was obvious that Ste’s words


    pleased her very much. “I guess you’ve got a keen eye after all!” She poked her husband with an elbow


    as she spoke, adding, “E thinks we make a great couple. What do you think?”


    “Whatever makes you happy,” Lucas replied without even looking up from his tablet. Yvonne was all too


    happy to let Lucas’s lukewarm reply ruin her mood. Hence, she just turned her attention to Ste and


    continued chatting with her for the rest of the journey. In almost no time, they reached their destination,


    where Ste found herself at a lofty mansion. She wondered why rich people loved living in mansions


    so much. In fact, this mansion was even slightly bigger than Stardust Mansion.


    Once she stepped out of the car, Ste was about to get her bags from the trunk when Yvonne held her


    arm and stopped her. “Just let the driver deal with them, E!” she told Ste. Yvonne had always been


    cheerful and affable with everyone at work, but Ste was still pleasantly surprised that she would treat


    her so cordially in private. As Yvonne gleefully led Ste into the house with a spring in her step, Lucas


    followed them from behind slowly and calmly.


    “Take it easy, Yvonne,” he warned. “Your injury’s just healed not too long ago. If you sprain your ankle


    again, you’ll have to take care of it yourself because I won’t bother myself with you anymore.”


    Yvonne stopped in her tracks and red at Lucas. She said nothing but still slowed down as her


    husband suggested. “That guy acts like he’s my father,” sheined to Ste in a whisper. “He’s


    always nagging about everything!” Ste said nothing and merely chuckled, envying how lucky a


    woman like Yvonne was.


    Lucas was a doctor who waspletely dedicated to his career. Because of his rtively young age,


    he hadn’t umted much experience and reputation, but his intelligence, excellent education,


    incredible talent, and maturity more than made up for that. Unsurprisingly, he stood out from his peers,


    consequently swamping him with work. Even when he was home, he would spend most of his time


    buried in his study, dealing with work-rted matters.


    Once they got inside, Yvonne gave Ste aplete tour of the mansion before she took her to a


    guest bedroom,


    “You’ll be staying here for a few days,” she told Ste. “I’ve asked the maid to get it ready for


    you.”


    Yvonne then put sie’s things away in the closet and led her out to the back garden, where they hung


    out and chatted. When it was around time for dinner, Lucas instructed a maid to inform them that the


    guests were already there,

    Yvonne brought Ste to her bedroom so they could change, Although she had asked Ste to help her


    choose some nice clothes, it had all been Yvonne who had done the choosing, no Thanks to her


    splendid sense of style. She even chose a dress for Ste, who initially refused, but caved in since


    Yvonne just wouldn’t take no for an answer.


    Ste’s dress was a simple champagne silk slip dress. At a nce, it looked in and minimalist, but


    because of the high-quality materials employed and exceptionally well tailoring, itplemented


    Ste’s body shape exquisitely. Coupled with her fair, delicate skin, she looked positively radiant,


    Even Yvonne was stunned by Ste’s transformation. She stared at Ste in awe after she had


    changed into her dress.


    “Clothes maketh the woman indeed!” she eximed, “You really should dress up more ollen, E!)


    Yvonne had always known that Ste was pretty most dancers were anyway. But Ste had always


    dressed so inly that she’d never noticed how captivating Ste’s ligure and facial features were


    “I guess I just never had the time..,” mumbled Ste as she checked herself in the mirror, a little


    astonished at her own transformation,


    Ever since her parents died, she had to grow up overnight and had since lost all interest in dressing,


    up. On the rare asions that she did, it was lo merely look professional and presentable enough to


    get a good job.


    She did think of sprucing up her looks after marrying, Weston, but he didn’t seem to care about


    anything, save for that business in bed. Ste didn’t want to get herself worked up for nothing, so she


    didn’t give the matter a second thought
