---- Chapter 25 No.25 Ava frowned slightly and shook her head. Julian stepped in and explained, "She is Mr. Miller's daughter, and my student." Celine realized her mistake and smiled apologetically. "Julian has never brought a lady here before. | got excited." Ava shook her head, indicating that it was fine. Celine led Ava to a room, explaining that Mr. Miller had already ordered a few evening gowns for her at the beginning of the month, and they were just waiting for her to choose. She said that after she chose one, they would alter it to her size, and it wouldn't take long. The three of them entered a simply decorated room. Celine had Ava sit down and spoke into her earpiece. A few dozen girls came in, each holding an evening gown. Ava couldn't help but murmur, "| thought you said a few..." In the past, when Ethan took her to choose a dress, there were always only a few pre-selected options. There was never such a grand display. Julian heard her and explained, "Mr. Miller is a little excited ---- about your arrival. This is just the dresses. The accessories are even more numerous." His voice was laced with amusement. Ava_ secretly facepalmed, but her heart felt full. She looked up. The evening gowns were all different styles, with unique designs and cuts. Celine, with her professional eye, pointed out a few that would complement Ava's striking features-sexy yet elegant, not too revealing, and flattering to her skin tone. Ava was immediately drawn to a blue-gray fishtail gown. She had always loved blue. It reminded her of the sea, of freedom. The dress was adorned with small, sparkling diamonds, not ostentatious, but like sunlight on a lake. In the past, Ethan had always chosen pure and cute clothes for her. She had wanted to try different styles but never had the chance. This dress was exactly what she wanted. She chose it without hesitation. When she came out of the dressing room, both Julian and Celine were stunned. The evening gown perfectly accentuated her figure. Even without makeup, she exuded an air of confidence. ---- Miss Miller, you look absolutely perfect in this, Celine gushed. She asked if Ava wanted to try on any other dresses. Ava looked at her reflection in the mirror and shook her head. "! love this one." By the time they had finalized all the clothes and accessories, it was already afternoon. Ava felt like she had been completely remade. For the first time, she knew she could look like this. The next day, at the dinner party, Ava went to the banquet hall with Julian. The moment she entered, all eyes were on the striking young woman. 4 Ethan, who was also at the party, found his gaze unconsciously following her every move.
