Given the family’s abundant resources and extensive connections, it seemed inconceivable that the
existence of a daughter could remain a secret, with no news or whispers circulating about her.
Furthermore, if there truly was a sister, why had Ariana never heard a single mention of her from
anyone?
Not once had Jasper or Theodore alluded to such a sibling.
Even the longstanding servants in the Anderson household appeared unaware of a Miss Anderson.

Ariana’s mind wandered as she pondered the things she had learned.
Suddenly, Lilyana’s voice broke through her reverie. “That young man mentioned he won’t return, and
there’s no need for me to keep this shop open. So, I’ve contacted an agent to sell it. If you had come a
bit later, we might never have met again.”
Lilyana wore a gentle smile as she tidied up the fabric scraps scattered across the table.
Ariana couldn’t help but feel fortunate for embarking on this journey.
Though many questions remained unanswered, Lilyana had managed to dispel a significant portion of

Finding Theodore and discovering his purpose for coming here had left Ariana content.
However, as noon approached, she realized she shouldn’t prolong her stay and disturb Lilyana any
further. Ariana bid her goodbyes, preparing to take her leave, when Lilyana halted her in her tracks.
“Young lady, you might be the last person to come Looking for me. I feel a connection with you. Just
wait a moment,” Lilyana insisted, disappearing into the inner room.

Before long, Lilyana emerged, pushing a mannequin before her.
The sight immediately captured Ariana’s attention.
On the mannequin stood a flawless white fishtail gown, a breathtaking vision to behold.
At first glance, one could discern the intricate hand-embroidery, the pearls and tiny diamonds adorning

effort required to create such a masterpiece was unimaginable.
Ariana stared at the dress in awe, her voice tentative as she asked, “Is this a wedding dress?”
To her surprise, Lilyana’s face lit up with joy. “I didn’t expect you to recognize it. This wedding dress
possesses certain distinctions from the typical ones,” she replied.

Lilyana regarded Ariana with a kind and smiling gaze. “A client personally designed and commissioned
this dress. However, it has been in the store for eight years, and no one has come to claim it. I haven’t
been able to contact the person either. Now that I am departing and the store is on the verge of closing,
it pains me to abandon this dress in eternal seclusion within the confines of a warehouse. As my eyes
beheld your presence, an overwhelming sensation arose within me. affirming that this dress was made
for you. Our connection today compels me to offer it as a gift, a token of our bond.”
Lilyana’s words resonated in Ariana’s ears, prompting an immediate shake of her head. “No, no, I
cannot possibly accept this. Its worth is immeasurable, and I cannot receive it without having offered
anything in return.”
Lilyana insisted on bestowing the dress upon her, but Ariana stood resolute in her refusal. “This dress
embodies someone’s genuine emotions and your unwavering efforts. I truly cannot bring myself to
accept it.”
