"Ah! Adler, you''ve seen him before," Jenna said, a hint of intrigue in her voice.


    "Adler?" Sophie echoed, "Sounds familiar."


    "He''s the young master from the Tredgold family. He used to visit when we were kids but then stoppeding."


    "Is that so?" Sophie replied absentmindedly as she tried on dresses in front of the mirror.


    "Jenna, how does this look on me?" Sophie held up a vibrant red dress.


    Jenna smirked, "It looks great, but you''ve already got a closet full of red!"


    "But red''s my favorite!" Sophie insisted, her eyes gleaming like the roses in her brother''s garden.


    "What about this one? It''s lovely," Jenna suggested, holding up a simple white gown.


    Sophie made a face, "I hate it!"


    "What? Didn''t you have a few white ones before? It makes your skin look like porcin!" Jenna argued.

    "Yeah, yeah, the whole world knows Cloud Lian knows you best!" Jenna teased a touch envious. "I need to

    Sophie gave her a warm smile, feeling like the luckiest person alive.


    Just then, the maid entered, "Ms. Sophie, the lord anddy are here early. They''re asking for you downstairs."


    "My parents are here?" Sophie perked up. "What about Liz and Jeremy?"


    The maid sighed, "They''re all downstairs, waiting for you."


    "Alright, I''m on my way!" Sophie said, giving the sparkling diamond ne onest fond nce before leaving her favorite dressing room behind. Downstairs, the Aldridge and Russell families were gathered,ughter and chatter filling the room.


    Sophie bounded down the stairs, calling out, "Jeremy, Liz!"


    Damita, pretending to be jealous, quipped, "You call for Jeremy and Liz before your own parents?"
