Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 273


    Chapter 273Although Max had been fooled, he couldn’t bring himself to blow his top when he saw how


    piteous Yelena looked.“Are you sure you’re not eager to get engaged on a whim?” Max looked at her


    face and asked seriously.“I’m not acting on a whim. I’ve been meaning to marry you since I was


    sixteen. It’s been three years now and I’ve never changed my mind.”Yelena had been waiting for him


    for three years. During this period, she encountered too many things, which strengthened her belief


    that she was in love with Max. She would never have a change of heart.“Alright, then. From now on,


    you have to obey everything I say.”Max sounded serious, but his words made Yelena feel vexed.She


    knew that she would be restricted by the man in many ways, but she didn’t mind it, for she would be


    engaged to Max. I’m on cloud nine!The others broke intoughter as they were happy for the young


    couple.Then, they discussed the date for the engagement party and confirmed that it would be on 20


    May at 1.14PM, which was deemed to be an auspicious date and time in Chars.Elspeth then brought


    Yelena to the Azure Corporation’s underground exhibition hall. As Yelena looked at those stunning


    evening gowns, she finally realized that she had been foolish to fight Emma over the wedding dress in


    Harvey’s store.She almost missed a chance to get one of these beautiful dresses.“You can just take


    any dress you want.”Clothes were supposed to be worn anyway. Furthermore, Yelena’s build was


    simr to Elspeth’s. As such, she would probably fit into one of these dresses.Yelena nodded and


    picked out a dress before joyfully entering the fitting room.When she reappeared, her face was reddish


    even though she hadn’t put on any makeup. She turned around in front of the mirror as the pink hem


    expanded like a flower.“It’s gorgeous, Elspeth. How do I look?”Yelena chuckled, thinking that Max


    would be besotted if he saw Yelena in this dress.Elspeth nodded. “You look wonderful, but there’s one


    more thing you need.”She then took out a pearl ne from a box and wrapped it around Yelena’s


    neck, which added a hint of elegance to the young woman.“Alright. You can wear this on the


    engagement day.”Yelena asked curiously, “What about you, Elspeth?”With a smile, Elspeth pointed at a


    pure white dress that was without any embroidery.The design looked simple but unimpressive.


    Furthermore, it didn’t look like a wedding dress at all.“Don’t you think it’s too in?” Yelena was


    baffled.“Don’t worry. You’ll find out on the engagement day.” Elspeth winked at Yelena and it set her


    mind at ease.Although Elspeth could be silly sometimes, there was no way she would make a mistake

    on her engagement day. As such, there was nothing to worry about.Then, Yelena turned to the mirror


    again and observed herself.Soon, the engagement day arrived.Since it was the engagement party of


    the two sons from the Winthrop Family, the daughter from the Sullivan Family, and the granddaughter


    from the Joneson Family, it was big news in Damoria.Although Elspeth wasn’t close to the Joneson


    Family, they still sent a gift to her.Naturally, it was a gift from Frank, not Michael. There was also a letter


    attached to it.‘Elspeth, I can’t believe you didn’t invite me to your engagement party. Anyway, with


    Grandpa around, I can’t possibly attend the party. You have no idea how furious he is. When you get


    married, I’ll sneak out of the house and attend your party. This time, I’m sending you a gift first.’Frank


    sounded humble in the letter.Elspeth smiled and epted the gift in silence.There was no denying


    Elspeth was the star on this day.Her already alluring face was made even more charming with this pure


    white dress. Everyone was stunned by her beauty. Due to this engagement party, Elspeth had been


    nicknamed the ‘White Rose of Damoria’.Max and Callum greeted the guests at the entrance. Since


    Yelena didn’t have anything to do, she asked Elspeth to keep herpany and waited in the vi. She


    also gossiped with otherdies.Thesedies were all Yelena’s friends and they looked haughty.“Hey,


    Yelena. Now that you’re finally engaged to a wealthy man, I hope you won’t forget about us.” One of


    thedies sounded jealous as she said that.Elspeth instantly realized that this woman was arrogant


    and crafty. Perhaps she was jealous of Yelena because thetter had found happiness.“I won’t,


    Camille. We’re all good friends. We said that we’d make a lot of money together.” Yelena giggled,


    looking silly.Elspeth shook her head and wondered what was on Yelena’s mind. She was always fierce


    to others but whenever she was with these cunning people who were her so-called friends, she would


    be as meek as a sheep.Just as Elspeth expected, the woman named Camille Parks went on to say,


    “You’re different now. You’re engaged to a Winthrop, so you’re affluent. We wouldn’t darepare


    ourselves to you.”Yelena put on an embarrassed smile.Just as Elspeth was ready to stand up for


    Yelena to teach Camille a lesson, a gentle voice was heard saying, “You can also find yourself a


    wealthy man. No one is stopping you.”The response was sarcastic but also somewhatical.Edmund


    is still as sharp-tongued as ever.Elspeth hadn’t met Edmund for a long time. After he was done taking


    care of Theodore while the older man was sick, he joined a subsidiary to get some training. The


    moment he returned, he saw Yelena getting mocked.Edmund’s words made Camille flush. The


    Winthrop men were all handsome and brilliant. If she could get together with one of them, she would


    make her family proud.“That’s not what I meant, Mr. Winthrop.”Despite the smile on Edmund’s face, he


    appeared distant and aloof. “Although I don’t get what you mean, I’m amazed by how eloquent you are,


    Miss Parks. I suppose no one in Damoria will be a perfect match for you.”Camille initially thought that


    he wasplimenting her, but her expression soon changed.The man seemed to suggest that she


    was arrogant and ambitious but didn’t have the qualities to secure a decent man for herself.She initially


    wanted to attract Edmund’s attention, but she soon cast the idea away. After a snort, she turned around


    and left.If she stayed there any longer, she would probably be aughingstock in all of Damoria if


    word got out.When the others saw how embarrassed Camille looked, they ran away as well so as not


    to be humiliated.Elspeth took a look at Edmund and shed a smile at him. “We haven’t seen each


    other for a while. It seems that you’ve be even more sharp-tongued.”“I’m nothingpared to


    you, Miss Lynwood. You managed to render me speechless back then. I was impressed.” Despite his


    mockery. She decided to stop talking to him.Gifts continued to stream into the ce.When Elspeth


    realized that the rest were swamped with work, she decided to lend them a hand and epted the gifts


    with them.All of a sudden, a delicate box caught her attention.A familiar floral pattern had been carved


    on the wooden box. Elspeth’s father used to be a carpenter, so she instantly recognized it was her


    father’s signature floral pattern.She felt her chest tightening as she opened the box with trembling


    hands. There was nothing else in the box apart from a silvery gray ne.Elspeth pulled out a heart-


    shaped pendant with a hollow center from her clothes and ced it beside the gift.When the two heart-


    shaped pendants were put together, they matched perfectly.
