MTLNOVEL Chapter 159: Chapter 159
In the gap.
There were only two figures.
Hilda.
With Alan.
There was a slight sound of the door closing.
Philip was silent for a moment, looking at the door panel that he had blocked from view with his own hands.
He walked towards the reception room which he often used as his office.
——
"Mother, Alice has mastered the foxtrot very well now! I'm still improving!"
After Phillip went out, Alice spoke immediately, but her tone was not her usual shouting tone. Although her expression was very happy, it was completely inconsistent with her usual state.
Not so natural.
It could even be said to be a bit tense.
She was trying to cheer up Hilda, who was in a bad mood, in her somewhat clumsy way.
Edna has been on paid leave at home for a long time.
Ever since Hilda took on the role of etiquette teacher at the end of October, she seemed to have fallen in love with this 'novel' teaching job. She would arrive in the classroom half an hour early every night, sometimes even before dinner time, waiting for everyone to come to the etiquette class.
After officially becoming the etiquette teacher of Alan and his classmates, Hilda's face was very serious during the first few weeks of class, and sometimes she even frowned, as if she could fully immersed herself in the role of a teacher.
But as time goes by.
On her face.
There are more and more smiles.
And ever since Hilda got sick.
The etiquette class for several people naturally moved to Hilda's bedroom.
Why did Hilda insist on attending class even though she was sick?
According to her.
Because.
"There is still more than a month until Alice's tenth birthday party. Alice has already mastered the foxtrot in just two weeks. That's great. I don't have to worry about it. But remember to consolidate your skills every day."
Hilda's tone revealed a hint of fatigue, and she was about to stand up while speaking. Alice glared at her, took a step to Hilda's side, and reached out her hand to carefully help Hilda up.
"Okay~"
As soon as she finished speaking, Alice turned around, grabbed Alan's hand beside her, and raised it high, posing as if she had won a great victory.
"Then will mother check the results today? Alice has been practicing hard every night when she goes home these days!"
Hilda smiled and tilted her head to glance at Alan.
The latter, however, looked down at the sofa.
The thick blanket that had just covered Hilda was pulled by her movement of getting up.
Some scraps of cloth and needle and thread were revealed underneath.
Hilda looked at Alan's posture and smiled.
"I won't be checking Alice's learning results today. She danced perfectly yesterday."
Alice's expression froze and she looked a little confused. Suddenly, she didn't know how to please her sick mother.
Just when she showed a conflicted expression.
Hilda glanced at Alan with a smile on her face.
Said so.
"I was afraid that we wouldn't be able to make it in time, so I started preparing evening gowns for you guys a long time ago, and they were finally finished last night. So today, instead of practicing dancing for etiquette class, let's try on the dresses instead."
"In this way, if the size is not right, more than a month is enough for me to rework it."
The words just fell.
The sound of wheels rumbling could be heard.
Everyone turned their heads to look to the side.
I saw Alifa, who had left at some point, walking towards me pushing a coat rack with wheels.
It is covered with a layer of dust-proof white silk cloth.
The bunny-eared girl bowed to everyone and stretched out her hand to slowly pull open the silk cloth.
On the hanger.
There are four pieces of clothing on hangers.
Pure white like clouds, with a silver pendant necklace and a low-cut evening dress.
As red as the morning sun, with a floral pattern on the collar and a pretty and dignified tassel skirt.
The dark blue is like distant mountains, the herringbone stitching is fine, and it is a short college-style suit.
As black as the night, with a silver chain on the breast pocket and a straight and elegant long dress.
Alice's mouth slightly opened as she looked at the four pieces of clothing, and her desire to please Hilda somehow suddenly disappeared.
She took two steps forward, very naturally, as it should be, and very calmly
Skip the low-cut evening gown.
She reached out, picked up her red tasseled skirt, turned around, and draped it in front of her, gesturing left and right.
Show it to Hilda.
"Is this for me?! Mother is so awesome!"
She was not interested in clothes and her behavior was just to make her mother happy.
As for the low-cut evening gown.
Alice decided to magnanimously give it to Sylphy.
As long as you choose quickly enough, the low-cut and tight evening gown will not be able to catch up with you.
A young lady wouldn't wear clothes that make it difficult for her to walk!
Sylphy, whose eyes had just been wandering between Hilda and Alan and whose expression had been a little too serious these days, now saw that Alice had made her choice in a matter of minutes, leaving her with "no way out", and her eyes slowly widened.
Hilda had told her two weeks ago, smiling, that she would wear this evening gown, which had been specially altered in some places.
So she was mentally prepared.
but.
Do I need to wear it in advance?
Are you here?
Next to the clothes rack, Rudy naturally picked up the dark blue short suit. He didn't have to worry about it, because Alan and he were very different in body shape, so he could naturally tell which one was his.
He reached out and touched the fabric, feeling the fine weave, revealing a look of genuine amazement.
Hilda is the wife of Mayor Roya, but I didn't expect her dressmaking skills to be so good.
"Such delicate stitches, is this Madam's own work? So amazing."
Hilda smiled and nodded, glancing at Sylphy.
"I originally wanted to prepare a white dress for Alice, but I prepared a white evening gown for Sylphy, so I made a tassel dress for Alice. I guess you don't like the restraint of an evening gown, right?"
"Thank you, mother!"
After hearing this, Sylphy became even more stubborn.
She subconsciously looked at Alan.
Next to the clothes hanger.
Alan's hand was gently stroking an aristocratic dress that was obviously his own, similar to a double-breasted long suit.
Eyelids drooped.
No one had ever made clothes for him.
What's the point?
The dress is so delicate that just by touching the stitches you can tell it must have taken a long time to make.
How long did it take?
When was it done?
Obviously.
She had never measured herself.
But it looks like
It seemed to fit surprisingly well.
The next chapter has been written, but because there are many plot points, there are some problems with the writing. It is being rewritten. No need to wait, go to sleep, everyone.

185. Chapter 182 Two People in the Fitting Room
5.
Outside Hilda's clothing room, which was temporarily used as a changing room.
Alan stood in the doorway, his all-black dress draped over his arm.
Look towards the living room.
Rudy was discussing clothing fabrics and the development of the clothing industry in the capital with Hilda. Unlike Alan who was wearing a swordsman's suit, he was wearing a shirt underneath, and his pants could also be paired with a short suit, so he naturally didn't need to wait outside the fitting room.
"How's it going, Alan!"
With a bang, the door opened and Alice rushed out of the room.
The fiery red figure is as aggressive as fire.
A powerful presence penetrates into people's eyes.
The very eye-catching red matches Alice's red hair, and the hem of her skirt sways with her steps, as if flames are burning on her body.
But the water-like tassel design diluted the "burning feeling" and made her look less sharp.
Instead, a harmonious perception was achieved.
But Alan suddenly turned his head away.
Because Sylphy was still changing clothes inside, and since they were both girls, there was no need to be shy about it.
"Very good. Compared to your usual black and white dress, the fiery red one suits your temperament better and has a strong presence."
"Presence? What does that mean?" Alice closed the door, took two steps, walked in front of Alan, and asked with her arms folded.
"striking."
Alice raised the corner of her mouth and ran towards Hilda.
"Mother, look, Alan said it's very suitable!"
"It really fits. It looks like Rudy and you don't need to change the size anymore. The style is also suitable. It turned out that adding tassels was the right choice."
"Mother is so awesome!"
Alan quietly looked at Hilda who was covering her mouth and laughing softly and Alice with excited eyes.
The setting sun flows on the red hair of both of them.
It was so hot that it seemed to be branded into one's eyeballs.
At this time.
