Chapter 952 Rainie’s Dress Is Torn

Bianca walked down the stairs with Lanie's backpack in one hand and Rainie's ballet dress in the other. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

The ballet dress had been pressed, and it could not be folded, which was why she did not put it in a bag but instead covered it with a plastic dust cover. Thea saw the dress and tugged her father's hand. ’ Daddy, I want that dress."

Seeing that his daughter was interested, Louis asked, "Where did Rainie get that dress, Sis?" "Luke got it custom-made overseas," Bianca replied awkwardly. The scenes from last night were still fresh in her mind.

Louis turned to look at Luke. He could still afford it for his daughter.

Luke nodded. "I'll send you the address later." "Thank you, Luke." Louis patted Thea's head. "After you get the dress, I'll enroll you for ballet classes." "Yes, Daddy." Thea thought of something and went to Bianca. "Can I touch the dress, Aunt Bianca?"

Bianca noticed that Thea's hands were clean. She nodded and handed the dress to her.

Thea greedily caressed the high-quality cloth. She was jealous of Rainie. Why would everyone in the family love Rainie? Even Great-Grandpa had nothing but praises for her.

As for herself, no one loved her other than her mother.

When Thea thought of that, she grabbed one of the lace strips tightly and gave it a sharp tug. Then, she handed the dress back to Bianca as though nothing happened.

"Here, Aunt Bianca." She smiled sweetly. No one knew what she did.

Bianca took the dress, smiled, and walked out of the house with Luke.

The twins were already waiting outside.

Thea went next to Louis and spread her arms, wanting a hug from her father.

Louis bent down and carried her in his arms. "Do you like that dress?” "Yup! I want one too, Daddy. It feels so good, just like Mommy's wedding gown," Thea said. She was thinking that she would look better than Rainie in that dress.

Seeing that Thea's face was full of joy, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll get one made for you."

Yuri grunted coldly when she saw the interaction between father and daughter. "You'd better keep your promise. Don't lie to your daughter," she said coldly.

Louis frowned. ’ What are you saying in front of the children?"

Yuri grunted coldly. She was only telling the truth. Louis had spent all his money on his studio; there was no spare money for their daughter's dress.

She was not going to argue with him. Instead, she took her handbag and went out of the door.

Thea heard what her mother said. She looked at Louis. "You'll buy the dress for me, right, Daddy?" "Of course." Louis gave her his promise.

After packing up, the family left the house in two cars.

Luke's car carried Bianca and the twins, while Louis's car carried Yuri, Thea, and Old Master Crawford.

Luke dropped off Lanie at school, then drove toward the ballet theater.

At the theater, Bianca escorted Rainie backstage. Ms. Shannon, the ballet teacher, was already waiting there.

"Good morning, Mrs. Crawford," Ms. Shannon smiled and greeted Bianca.

Bianca smiled. "Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Shannon. I'll leave Rainie in your care." "You're welcome. Go and get changed first, Rainie. I'll put on your makeup for you later," Ms. Shannon patted Rainie's head and said proudly.

She felt a great sense of achievement that she had such an outstanding student.

"Yes, Ms. Shannon," Rainie took the dress and went into the changing room.

Bianca stood there and waited.

A while later, Rainie ran out of the changing room toward Bianca. Her lips were pressed together tightly. "Mommy!"

Bianca looked at her. "Why aren't you changing your clothes?" "The dress is ruined." Rainie handed the dress to her.

"That can't be! I checked it when I pressed it this morning." Bianca frowned. She unfurled the dress and noticed that the lace that was supposed to be sewn to the hemline was detached.

"What should we do, Mommy?" Rainie looked like she was about to cry.

The dress was very important to her. Not only had her father given it to her as a present, but she had also worn it when she won the first prize.

Rainie loved the dress and treated it with care.

"Oh no!" Ms. Shannon exclaimed when she saw that. "How did the dress become like that?"

Bianca was not sure either. She was very careful when she pressed and packed that dress, and she did not notice anything torn. The dress was hand-stitched, so the needlework should be quite good.

"Ms. Shannon, do you have a sewing kit?" She asked.

"Yes, but it's almost Rainie's turn to go on stage. Will you make it in time?" Ms. Shannon said worriedly as she took out the sewing kit and glanced at the schedule.

"Please put on Rainie's makeup first. I'll be quick." Bianca picked a needle and threaded some white thread through it. 'TH fix the dress for you, Rainie.

Rainie nodded and sat on the makeup chair, watching Bianca's movements worriedly.

The lace was hard to work with. Bianca had to be very careful.

Seeing that Bianca remained backstage for so long, Luke went to find her there.

"Bea?" Luke was curious about why Bianca was messing with Rainie's ballet dress.

"Rainie's dress is torn. I'm repairing it," Bianca explained. She was very anxious, but she stitched very carefully.

"Hss!" She gasped when the needle accidentally poked her finger.

Luke frowned. He went over and picked up her hand for inspection.

"I'm fine." Bianca knew that Luke was worried about her. She took her hand away, wiped the finger on a napkin, and continued to sew.

The strip of lace was very thin. She was poked by the needle several times by the time she was done. Luke was frowning hard.

Bianca breathed a sigh of relief. The dress was as good as new. "Here, go and change, Rainie." "Thank you, Mommy!" Rainie's eyes were red. She tried hard not to cry in case her makeup was ruined.

She was very grateful to her mother for fixing her dress.

Bianca wanted to pack up the sewing kit when Ms. Shannon said, "Let me do it." "Thank you, Ms. Shannon.” Bianca handed her the needle and thread, stood up, and looked at Luke's face. He seemed extremely displeased, which made the teacher act extra carefully.

"I'm fine. It's just a minor injury. Why the long face?" She comforted him.

Luke did not want her to have any injuries. He picked up her delicate hands and carefully inspected them.

Her finger was red, and Luke did not enjoy seeing that. He gently held her hands and asked her, "What happened to Rainie’s dress?"

Luke was already awake when Bianca was preparing the dress. He did not see any problems with the dress earlier.
