Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1117: She Turned Away
The stylist brought out an array of wedding dresses, "Young Master Thatcher, Miss Hollis, let’s start with a set of seaside portraits. Miss Hollis, please select a dress first."
Dianna glanced at the dresses indifferently, clearly showing little interest.
At that moment, an excited voice suddenly came from behind, "Cain Shaw, Miss Hollis, what a coincidence to meet you here."
Dianna turned around and saw two familiar faces, Cain Shaw and Christina Shaw.
Cain was wearing a white shirt today, untucked from his black trousers, with a pair of stylish black sunglasses on his handsome face, tall and dashing like a super male model strutting down a runway.
Christina was in a fiery red long dress, adorned with a beautiful hat on her head, her hand linked through Cain’s arm, looking blissfully at Dianna.
At this moment, Yuric Thatcher walked over, "Aunt, Uncle, what brings you here?"
Christina curled her red lips, "It’s rare for us to leave Starfall City. We’ve left our son with someone else, so we’ve come here on vacation to enjoy some romantic time together."
Yuric looked at Cain, his eyes swirling with emotions, but outwardly he remained calm, "Uncle, you and Aunt are truly in love."
With those words, Yuric reached out, wrapping his arm around Dianna’s slender waist, pulling her into his embrace. He looked at Cain and smiled, "Aunt, Uncle, you must have received the invitation by now, right? Dianna and I are getting engaged, we’re here to take wedding photos."
Cain’s face was hidden behind black sunglasses, his eyes unseen, yet Yuric could clearly feel his gaze had long landed on Dianna, even lingering on the arm wrapped around her.
"Wow, Yuric, Miss Hollis, congratulations on your engagement, wishing you both happiness," Christina looked up at Cain, "Cain, Yuric is our nephew, so Miss Hollis will be our niece-in-law in the future."
Dianna looked at Cain, who had remained silent, only pursing his thin lips when he heard the words "niece-in-law."
Yuric felt exhilarated, he harbored deep resentment towards Cain, driven mad with jealousy thinking Cain once possessed Dianna’s body and heart.
Now, he wanted Cain to feel this piercing pain as well.
"Dianna, let’s choose this outfit. Go on and change quickly, we’re ready for the photoshoot." Yuric personally selected an outfit and handed it to Dianna.
...
Dianna changed into the outfit, first taking some solo shots. The photographer captured a couple of photos of Dianna, exclaiming, "Miss Hollis, you look stunning in the camera, your cool and aloof demeanor is perfection in every shot."
Cain watched Dianna through the lens; she wore a sequined strap dress, her pure black hair tied low in a ponytail. As the sun set, the evening breeze brushed her hair across her cheek, showcasing only her profile, but the sight was breathtakingly beautiful.
Cain’s gaze stayed fixed on Dianna, unable to look away.
Earlier, it was Christina who insisted on staying to watch them take wedding photos. But seeing Cain’s unwavering eyes on Dianna, she clenched her fists in jealousy.
The sixteen-year-old girl from three years ago had blossomed beautifully. Christina possessed a curvaceous, sultry figure; her sensual outfits fitting her well, but other attire made her upper body appear broad, requiring careful choice.
On the other hand, Dianna was different. Her skin, smooth as porcelain, her delicate figure exuding a youthful vibe, developed into a perfect S-curve, not more, not less—the kind men adored.
Christina was terribly envious; Dianna overshadowed her in looks and figure, wanting nothing more than for the alluring woman to disappear.
Christina quickly glanced at Yuric, sending him a signal.
Yuric was also enchanted by Dianna. Although he was highly mindful of her past with Cain, his desire to marry and possess her was genuine too.
Yuric understood the hint and stepped forward, "Alright, let’s take a couple’s photo now."
"Alright, Young Master Thatcher, place your hands on Miss Hollis’s face, then lean down and kiss her gently," instructed the photographer.
This was what Christina wanted; she playfully covered her mouth, laughing, and nudged Cain, "Cain, look, Yuric’s about to kiss Miss Hollis... how shy."
"Kiss."
"Kiss."
"Kiss."
The photography crew began to cheer, urging Yuric and Dianna to kiss.
Cain’s handsome brows furrowed deeply, his eyes hidden beneath his sunglasses filled with cold darkness. He stared at Yuric and Dianna, a surge of anger rising in his chest, wanting to rush forward and push Yuric away.
He couldn’t stand Yuric touching her!
Yuric had already reached out, cradling Dianna’s petite, oval face, speaking gently, "Dianna, just a quick kiss, don’t be afraid."
Yuric lowered his head, inching towards Dianna’s red lips.
Their faces drew closer, almost touching, while Cain grew increasingly grim, his expression darkening.
He thought he could bear it.
But at that moment, he realized he’d overestimated himself; he couldn’t endure it at all.
He wanted to step forward and seize Dianna back.
He wanted to possess Dianna.
He couldn’t stay there any longer, uncertain if he’d lose control in the next second.
"Cain, look how sweet Yuric and Miss Hollis are, they make me want to fall in love too." Christina leaned closer, trying to nestle against Cain.
But in the next second, Cain coldly withdrew his powerful arm and turned to leave.
Christina didn’t expect him to leave, losing her balance and nearly falling.
"Mrs. Shaw, are you alright—pfft," seeing her embarrassed state, the staff couldn’t help but laugh.
Christina’s face twisted with anger; she knew Cain couldn’t take it anymore.
All over just a single kiss?
Christina maliciously thought that tonight would become even more interesting.
A bigger drama was about to unfold next!
...
Cain and Christina left, while Yuric was about to kiss Dianna.
Dianna remained still, watching Yuric’s handsome face inch closer, thinking maybe it was fine, as long as it wasn’t him, anyone would be the same. Many in this world compromise and live their lives.
Dianna slowly closed her eyes, allowing his approach.
Yuric leaned in.
But in the next moment, Dianna suddenly turned away, avoiding the kiss.
