Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau-Chapter 467 - 253: Reaching for the Stars (Third Update)_2
Aiden Sheldon quickly waved his hand and said, "Yes, there are indeed a lot of people today. I’ve arranged a special spot for you at the chief’s table, so you won’t have to squeeze in with those people."
Autumn Stetford knew that when Aiden Sheldon was considerate, he was truly thoughtful. She smiled gently, feeling very at ease, and said, "Alright, we’ll see you in a while."
Autumn Stetford took Ruby Sheldon’s hand and returned to the bedroom they shared.
This was in the second courtyard.
The master bedroom of Autumn Stetford and Aiden Sheldon as a couple was located in the main house, with a total of five large rooms, including a living room, bedroom, study, bathroom, and a small kitchen.
The east wing had three large rooms, which were Ruby Sheldon’s bedroom and study, and also a very spacious bathroom.
Autumn Stetford took her to Ruby Sheldon’s own bedroom in the east wing.
Of course, the interior had been renovated, with underfloor heating and an air quality control system installed.
Once inside, Ruby Sheldon saw the custom-tailored coat dress on the bed and let out a big sigh of relief. Grinning, she said, "Mom, I was really afraid you’d make me another historical-style cape. Although it does look nice, it stands out too much when I go out, and I feel a bit embarrassed."
She had many acquaintances, but almost no one she could call a close friend.
Sometimes it felt a bit lonely, but since she had the unconditional love of her parents, she didn’t force the matter.
Friends are also about fate.
If there’s no fate, friendships can’t last long either.
She could only let things happen naturally.
Autumn Stetford herself liked historical costumes, and had a team of highly skilled fashion designers to create clothes specifically for her, so most of the clothes she had made for Ruby Sheldon were in this style. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
But now that Ruby Sheldon had grown up and was about to officially step into the social scene as the Little Princess of the Sheldon Family, she needed a few custom-made outfits from international brands to make an impression.
Previously, Autumn Stetford had invited designers from international brands to tailor clothes for Ruby Sheldon, creating twelve sets for each of the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
The set on the bed was made specifically for wearing at the New Year’s Eve dinner.
The dress was form-fitting, made from a very soft cashmere in a pinkish-purple shade, with a line of pure gold buttons encased in smoky-gray, semi-transparent chiffon, fastened from the neck all the way down the waist, giving it quite a uniform style.
Looking at the coat dress, Ruby Sheldon suddenly thought of the uniform-style coat Lawrence Winters wore today and exclaimed in surprise, "Mom, how did you know I suddenly like this style?"
Because when Lawrence wore it, it looked absolutely stunning. The simple uniform style surprisingly gave her an ethereal feel.
At that moment, Ruby Sheldon secretly envied her.
She didn’t expect her mom to be so in sync with her thoughts.
Ruby Sheldon happily ran over and put on the coat.
She was shorter, and wearing it still looked cute, but didn’t achieve that ethereal feel.
Ruby Sheldon sighed with some regret.
If she hadn’t seen Lawrence Winters wearing such attire, she might have been satisfied with her own reflection in the mirror.
But because she had seen a better version, she wasn’t satisfied.
Autumn Stetford observed her and laughed, asking, "What’s wrong? Isn’t our Betty satisfied?"
"It’s not that I’m unsatisfied..." Ruby Sheldon pursed her lips, took out her phone, and said, "Look, if I looked like this young lady here, I would be satisfied."
Autumn Stetford took a glance and said in some surprise, "Oh? This girl is so beautiful. When did you meet such a pretty girl? How come I’ve never seen her?"
Ruby Sheldon was strictly managed by her parents, Aiden and Autumn, who would check the background of any classmates or friends she got acquainted with at school, ensuring no ill-intentioned people could approach their little princess.
So when a new, beautiful girl appeared in Ruby Sheldon’s camera roll, Autumn Stetford immediately began to inquire.
Ruby Sheldon was used to this way of communicating with her parents, so she openly said, "I met her today. Oh, she was being bullied by my second brother on the road, got angry and called the police, and then she was even..."
She suddenly realized that if she continued, she would be talking about her most admired father, so she instinctively swallowed back her words.
But Autumn Stetford could immediately tell something was off.
She didn’t press further, casually changed the subject, and then cleverly looped back, skillfully extracting the whole story.
She didn’t care about Ryan Sheldon’s affairs; both her sons, Ryan and Nathan Sheldon, were strictly supervised by her and Aiden Sheldon. They were raised like regular kids, never allowed any special privileges.
Ryan and Nathan Sheldon had both grown up that way.
Nathan was currently working incognito at the Sheldon Consortium, starting from the bottom, and it had taken him seven or eight years to be promoted to department manager.
Ryan Sheldon, however, was different. He remained rebellious and still refused to settle down and work at his family business.
But Ruby Sheldon was different. This child was her treasure, and like Aiden Sheldon, she wouldn’t allow anyone to show her the slightest disrespect.
After hearing the whole story, she secretly approved of Aiden Sheldon’s approach.
Anyone who offends their daughter cannot be let go.
However, later she heard Aiden Sheldon had let it go lightly, which puzzled Autumn Stetford.
She pursued questioning Ruby Sheldon for a long time before finding out that Aiden Sheldon changed his mind after receiving a call.
Autumn Stetford planned to ask Aiden Sheldon about it once the New Year festivities were over.
But Ruby Sheldon quietly said to Autumn Stetford, "Mom, I really like this young lady. Could you ask Dad not to trouble her? She’s really interesting and even invited me to take photos with her. I really like her."
