After their shower, Benny and Flossie prepared for bed.


    Holding her close, Benny felt a flutter in his chest at her scent.


    Leaning down, he nted gentle ki*ses on her forehead, cheek, and…


    His hands traced her back.


    Feeling tense, Flossie pushed him away, blurting out, “I’m tired.


    Not now…”


    Benny’s gaze softened as he looked at Flossie who was hiding her face in his arms.


    She looked stunning.


    The blush on her cheeks from their ki*ses only added to her charm.


    Benny’s heart swelled.


    He didn’t push her.


    Instead, hey beside her, reaching out to hold her once more.


    “Sleep well.


    ” His ki*s was tender and devoid of any desire.


    The next morning, Flossie dressed carefully and left after bidding Benny goodbye.


    With Miley’s directions, she found the studio easily.


    Stepping into the room, Flossie let out a sigh.


    “Miley, it’s been ages! Your workces huge now! Seems like you’re nailing it in love and business, huh? You’ve been glowing!”


    Miley feigned annoyance, firing back, “Quit teasing! Yeah, we got more space, but we lost something big.


    ”


    Eyeing Flossie, she asked, “So when are youing back, Flossie?”


    pping her bag on the table, Flossie shrugged and gave Miley a look.


    “I’m here now, aren’t 1?”


    Miley grinned, letting the topic drop.


    Turning away, she fetched the dress for the show.


    Handing it to Flossie, she said, “It was made this to your old size.


    Try it on and see if we need to tweak it.


    ”


    Flossie ran her fingers over the jewelry on the dress.


    “Is this morganite?” she asked, surprised.


    Miley nodded, smiling.


    “Yes, it’s rare stuff.


    It adds a sparkle and suits you perfectly.


    ”


    Thanking Miley, Flossie headed into the fitting room with the dress.


    As Flossie emerged from the fitting room, Miley’s eyes lit up with anticipation.


    She was sure the dress would be a knockout.


    But reality hit her hard.


    Grabbing Flossie’s hand, she scanned her up and down.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Finally, she frowned unable to hold it in any longer.


    “Flossie, what happened during your break? You’ve gained quite some weight.


    ”


    Gazing at her reflection, Flossie felt a pang of disappointment.


    Since getting pregnant, Flossie had been eating more to ensure her baby’s health.


    Patting Flossie’s shoulder, Miley said, “Don’t sweat it.


    We still have a few days before the show.


    You can shed some pounds this week.
