Chapter 100
trepped out of the dressing room awkwardly, but Nicole had already gathered her emotions and exclaimed, “I told you! You’re the most beautiful little pus in the world”
The dress was short, falling just above her knees, and a lovely sheer skirt flowed beautifully.
naturally slender, and this dress accentuated her tiny waist, fair arms, and lightly blushing face, making herlooklike a princess straight out of a fairy tale.
byen the sales assistant couldn’t help but genuinely compliment her, “You look stunning in that dress, miss.”
Although the dress wasn’t the latest style and had been tried on by many before, this was the first time it fit someone so perfectly.

Nicole didn’t leave her any room to refuse.
Lila took a last look in the mirror. The dress was certainly beautiful, but she worried that the soft pink might be too childish to wear out in public. She scratched her head and changed back into her clothes.
Not wanting to shop any longer, Nicole suggested they sit down to eat.
“There’s a new restaurant over on South Street. I’ve heard the food is good, and since you’re usually on set and don’t eat well, you’ve lost some weight. Make sure to eat a lot today.”
Nicole added, “Kieran is quite busy, and your two brothers are temporarily abroad. How about I have the household staff send you meals from now on?”
Lila, who had been quietly listening, quickly declined, “It’s too far away; going back and forth is a hassle. I’ll probably be wrapped up in filming for over a month.” Nicole nodded, then asked, “So, how are things going with Dorian?”
Lila paused. With everything happening lately, she hadn’t had a chance to explain the situation to her family.
“You two have been together for a while now, and your careers seem stable. Have you thought about getting married?”
At this question, Lila suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
Nicole would likely worry again if Lila told her about her breakup now. She was heading back to the film set later today and didn’t have time for a proper explanation. It would be better to wait until things calmed down before finding a suitable time to discuss it with her family.
She replied vaguely. “It’s been really busy lately. Let’s wait a bit before discussing it.”
As they spoke, they arrived at the restaurant. Lila quickly shifted the topic, asking, “Is Uncle Alfredo and Noah coming back soon?
Nicole nodded. “Alfredo will be late, but that scoundrel Noah mentioned he’d probably be back in about half a month”
Thinking about Noah gave her a headache.
The previous generation of the Morgan family had three children–asiah Morgan, Alfredo Morgan, and Kieran–each one more successful than the last, especially Kieran, who had taken Morgan Group to new heights.
Bryce Morgan, Lila, and Noah were among the younger generations of the Moran three were raised under Nicole’s care, yet despite her efforts, Noah

Seeing the troubled expression on her face, Lila couldn’t help but smile. “Aunt Nicole, it’s not that Noah isn’t interested in b business. He’s just doing well in his chosen field”
