Chapter 506 Wedding Dress
After dinner, Alaric was ordered by Preston to take Emilio and bond with him.
Alaric felt helpless but couldn't resist. Right now, he had no way to defend himself, he was the sinner of the entire White family.
Until they found Emilio's mother, his image in his family's hearts had already collapsed.
He was so angry, he gritted his teeth and immediately had his people investigate what happened back then.
But it had been many years, and finding Emilio's mother wouldn't be easy.
Plus, he used to dislike having assistants and almost always went everywhere alone.
A vein throbbed at Alaric's temple. When he looked up, he met Emilio's clear, bright eyes.
He paused, opened his mouth wanting to say something, but in the end said nothing.
He really didn't know how to interact with a child, especially a strange one.
Alaric and Emilio sat facing each other for about ten minutes. Alaric really couldn't take it anymore and walked straight out of the bedroom.
Before leaving, he said to Emilio, "You can open the toy Sophia gave you and play with it. If you like this kind of toy, you can tell me, and I'll buy you more."
After all, Emilio was his biological son. Even if he didn't want to accept Emilio, he couldn't change the facts.
After saying that, he turned and left directly.
Emilio stared straight at his back, pressed his lips together, and picked up the toy box from the side.
He was already seven years old, not only old enough to understand things, but also especially well-behaved.
When told to sit in the room and play, he really just sat there the whole time.
When Alaric came back that evening, he found Emilio still sitting on the sofa. In front of him was a completed Lego mechanical toy.
Alaric raised his eyebrows and curiously pointed at the toy: "You put this together?"
Emilio nodded shyly, nervously lifting his eyes to glance at Alaric.
There was a trace of carefulness in his gaze.
This surprised Alaric even more, he didn't expect Emilio to be so smart.
When Sophia bought this toy, she specifically picked a complicated one.
It wouldn't be easy for a seven or eight-year-old child to complete it in such a short time.
The parts inside were very detailed, and you had to follow the instructions step by step.
This showed how strong Emilio's hands-on abilities were.
Alaric's expression softened, and he gently patted his head: "You're amazing. If you like it, I'll buy you new ones tomorrow."
Emilio's eyes instantly brightened. "Really?"
"Really." Alaric nodded firmly, and the little bit of resentment in his heart slowly disappeared.
Meanwhile, Sophia suddenly received a message from a previous client.
That client had wanted her to make a wedding dress, but that was two years ago.
Later, when she messaged that person again, they only replied, saying the wedding was temporarily canceled and wouldn't be held, asking her to keep the dress for now.
And she'd kept it until now.
Yesterday, that person finally sent a message saying they wanted that wedding dress, and the measurements needed to be altered, too.
Sophia didn't think much about it and directly altered it according to the measurements they sent.
As a fashion designer, Sophia had rarely made clothes for people these past few years.
Starting from two years ago, when Benjamin fell into the sea, aside from medicine and hacking, she basically hadn't touched her other professions.
Now receiving that customer's message again, Sophia felt mixed emotions.
She enjoyed the process of making clothes, it made her heart feel calm.
Actually, her studying fashion design was just an accident. A college girl named Katya had deliberately framed her.
The guy Katya liked was madly pursuing Sophia. Unwilling to accept this, she actively provoked Sophia by ruining Anais's evening gown before the dance.
Sophia was lured there at the time, and only realized afterward that she'd been tricked.
Then she was framed as the person who destroyed Anais's evening gown.
Later, Katya deliberately stepped forward, saying she could repair the dress, and actively fixed the evening gown.
But what Katya didn't expect was that Sophia had someone buy a new evening gown.
The new evening gown was even more beautiful than the original one, and more expensive too.
In the end, the dress Katya repaired was tossed aside, and Anais wore the dress she bought on stage.
From that day on, Sophia spent about two months specifically studying fashion design.
Eventually, she became the well-known designer Ollie in the industry.
But many people didn't know about this identity of hers.
Even Benjamin didn't know.
After Sophia finished altering the wedding dress measurements, she told the client.
Then they directly sent an address.
When she saw clearly where the address showed, Sophia couldn't help but freeze.
This... wasn't this Maple Grove Villas?
Sophia looked at the wedding dress in her hands, her expression becoming complicated.
That evening, after washing up, Sophia waited in the room for Benjamin to come back.
As soon as Benjamin came in, he sensed something was off about the atmosphere.
He came over, opened his arms, and hugged Sophia tightly, lowering his head to kiss her several times.
Magnus had run into some tricky work issues recently, and he'd specifically gone to help this afternoon.
Not seeing Sophia all afternoon, he felt empty inside.
Now feeling Sophia in his arms, Benjamin sighed with satisfaction.
Home was still the best.
Building a career - that could be left to Magnus and Alaric.
Sophia slowly lifted her little face from Benjamin's embrace. She blinked and asked him: "Don't you have something to tell me?"
Benjamin was stunned: "No."
Sophia: "Think about it more carefully."
Benjamin thought for a long while, but still shook his head: "I still can't think of anything. Sophia, did something happen?"
Sophia got up from his arms and took out a wedding dress from the walk-in closet.
The wedding dress was on a mannequin, and under the lights, it looked absolutely beautiful.
Benjamin was stunned again - he didn't expect the wedding dress to arrive so quickly.
He originally thought it would take a few more days.
Meeting Sophia's questioning gaze, Benjamin raised his hand to touch his nose. "Well... actually, I just wanted to give you a surprise. Do you like it?"
Sophia bit her teeth: "I like it, I really like it."
She'd made it with her own hands - how could she not like it?
She didn't expect that when Benjamin talked about making up the wedding two years ago, he wasn't just saying it casually.
If not for that accident, perhaps they would have already been married.
But it wasn't too late now either.
Sophia lowered her eyes, hiding the emotion in them.
Benjamin walked forward and hugged her in his arms again, but his eyes stared unblinkingly at the wedding dress.
"I owe you a grand wedding. Let's make it up, okay?"
"But I'm already pregnant. I won't look good in a wedding dress." Sophia pouted, looking at him with a smile.
Benjamin immediately frowned: "Who said that! You're the most beautiful bride in the world!"
"Really?" Sophia looked up with a smile, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed his chin.
Benjamin's heart instantly melted. When Sophia was about to pull back, he cupped the back of her head and deepened the kiss.
