Grace brought four dresses to try on, all beautiful. Bella didn't know which boutique she had bought them from, but Grace's taste matched Bella's. Finally Bella chose one of the knee-length black spaghetti-sleeved dresses, with small crystal detailing below the waist hem to wear. Bella was grateful she had brought one of her necklaces to match the dress, a string of small pearls that used to belong to her mother. She wore matching high heels. It was in that outfit that she now stood in front of her uncle Carter.
"Oh, hello, Mr. Wilford. There you are." Bella tried to be as calm as possible, even though her heart was pounding violently and her body was almost shaking with nerves. She knows there's no need to feel that panicky, after all, it's been months since she left Carter and registered her Marriage Annulment. Like Carter's parents, Nathan already knew. However, Nathan Wilford is an unpredictable person. Bella hoped that this time he would play along with her game.
