Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival

Chapter Thirty

Third Person POV.

Richard shifted impatiently in his chair, his eyes wandering around the bridal shop, taking in the

various racks of dresses. He had never been one to wait around while someone shopped, but this was a

special occasion, and he had no other choice but to be here.

He sighed, feeling a mix of boredom and eagerness to get this whole process over with.

After what felt like an eternity, the dressing room door finally swung open, revealing Amber in a

strapless wedding dress that clung to her body in all the right places.

Richard’s eyes widened, his breath catching in his throat as he took in the sight before him. He had never seen Amber in a wedding dress or anyone for that matter but he couldn’t believe how

stunning she looked.

Amber noted the shock on Richard’s face and felt a twinge of self–consciousness. She wanted to look.

she also wanted Richard to like the dress.

They may not have real feelings for each other, but they are still going through this charade.

together.

She cleared her throat nervously, glancing down at the dress. “What…what do you think?” she asked,

her voice barely above a whisper..

Richard, who had been momentarily frozen, blinked and shook himself out of his trance. His face reddened as the words slipped out without filter. “You…you look almost angelic, it’s shocking,” he

room.

Richard quickly cleared his throat, trying to regain his composure. “I mean, the dress is absolutely beautiful,” he added, his voice laced with embarrassment.

Amber smiled, the self–consciousness fading away. “Thank you,” she replied, her voice filled with warmth and genuine appreciation.

Emboldened by her response, Richard found himself genuinely admiring the dress. Its delicate lace detail and form–fitting silhouette suited Amber perfectly. He had never imagined he would find himself in a bridal shop, much less being captivated by a wedding dress, but here he was, unable to tear his eyes away from her.

As Amber twirled and examined herself in the mirror, Richard couldn’t help but marvel at how effortlessly poised, and angelic she looked.

“You really look amazing,” Richard said softly, his voice filled with genuine awe.

Amber met his gaze through the reflection in the mirror, a smile gracing her lips. “Thank you,” she replied, her voice holding a hint of gratitude. “I never thought I’d ever wear a wedding dress ever again, but I have to admit, this is a little exciting.”

Their eyes locked for a moment, and Richard felt a warmth spread through him–a warmth that caught him completely off guard, to the point where he had to tear his eyes away from her completely.

“Do you still need to try on more dresses?” he asked.

“I have two more to try on before deciding.” Amber responded, her excitement growing.

“Alright then, let’s see if,” Richard responded, and Amber walked back into the dressing room to get changed.

Richard leaned back in his chair, his mind slightly more engaged and alert than before. He still couldn’t quite believe he was sitting in a bridal shop, patiently waiting for Amber to try on wedding dresses. It was a foreign experience for him, but he couldn’t deny the curious anticipation building

in him.

Amber emerged from the dressing room once again, this time in a dramatically different wedding dress

The gown billowed out, resembling a ball gown fit for a princess. Richard’s eyes widened, his breath catching in his throat for the second time that day. He couldn’t help but gasp, an involuntary response to the breathtaking sight before him.

Amber twirled and gracefully made her way towards Richard with a wide grin, her eyes searching his

face for his reaction. “Well?” she asked, excitement tinged in her voice. “What do you think of this one?”

Richard, still in awe of her transformation, instinctively placed a hand over his mouth, as if trying to contain his awe. “You…you look like a beautiful swan,” he said, his voice filled with genuine

amazement.

Amber burst into laughter at his dramatic description, her eyes crinkling with amusement. She had never expected Richard to come up with such poetic comparisons. “So, first I looked angelic, and now I’m a swan?” she teased, her amusement evident in her voice.

Richard shrugged, his embarrassment from his previous poetic outbursts fading away. “I’m just saying it as it is. You truly look stunning, like something out of a fairytale.”

Amber grinned, her laughter fading as she gazed at him appreciatively. Even though their relationship was built on a fake foundation, she couldn’t help but enjoy the moment, and take in his obvious

genuine compliments.

With a light shake of her head, Amber retreated into the dressing room to change into her final choice.

Richard took a deep breath, his mind whirling with thoughts and emotions that he hadn’t

anticipated.

He sat patiently as he waited for Amber to unveil her final dress choice.

The dressing room door swung open, and Amber stepped out, donning a V–line empire wedding dress with

delicate long sleeves. The dress shimmered with diamond–like stones scattered across the bodice,

catching the light and adding a touch of glamour to the overall design.

Richard’s calm demeanor faltered for a moment as he took in the sight before him.

He stared at Amber, his silence stretching uncomfortably. An inexplicable rush of emotions flooded over him, leaving him momentarily speechless.

Amber, sensing the shift in his mood, fidgeted nervously and asked if this dress was not to his

liking. She watched him intently, searching his face for any sign of approval or disappointment.

Richard let out a soft sigh, his eyes never leaving Amber’s figure draped in the ethereal gown. Slowly.

he found his voice, his words laden with a mix of seriousness and awe. “This…this is the one,” he

stated quietly.

Amber’s eyes widened in surprise, her puzzled expression begging for clarification. She asked for confirmation, needing to be certain that she understood his words correctly. “You mean, this is your favorite?” she inquired.

fast

Richard nodded, a somber expression settling over his features. “Yes, Amber. Though the first two

dresses were undoubtedly beautiful, they made you look like an angel and a swan. But this–this dress,

it makes you look like royalty. It’s as if it was tailored for a Queen, and it fits you flawlessly,”

he explained, unable to hide how impressed she was.

Amber’s face broke into a smile, a glow of happiness radiating from her. She looked at Richard, and in that moment, their gazes locked.

“Well, you have good taste, Richard,” Amber replied. “Because this dress also happens to be my

favorite as well.”
