Chapter 610
Connor looked a little caught off guard. He clearly hadn’t expected Elliot to think of him as a blockhead. But he quickly found his footing and grinned. “Guess I’ll just have to keep working hard to win everyone over.”
Elliot was honestly stunned. When had Connor ever acted like this? He used to be all stone-faced, with that permanent look that screamed “stay away” and “don’t mess with me.” No wonder everyone in the Capital called him the Ice King. But now, standing in front of them, it was like he was someone else entirely. Was this what falling in love did to a person?
Cameron stepped out, waving him in. “Connor, don’t just stand out there. Come inside.”
Kylie shot Elliot another look. If it weren’t for him, they’d already have Connor inside by now. Elliot rolled his eyes. Seriously? Was he already old news now that there was a son-in-law around?
They all headed inside just as Lucinda appeared at the top of the stairs. She was wearing a blue dress that flowed around her like a cloud, her dark hair curled and makeup done perfectly. She looked like a real-life blue fairy. When she spotted Connor, her whole face lit up. “Connor, hi!”
Connor looked up, and he definitely took a second look at her. Lucinda’s heart skipped a beat. Grace had totally called it. Connor really did look at her a little longer than usual. Maybe she actually did look pretty tonight.
Lydia noticed too, a faint smile flickering at the corners of her mouth. Cameron glanced at Lucinda’s dress and turned to Lydia. “Lydia, did you design that dress?” Lydia nodded. “Yeah.”
Most of the LYLX limited editions, especially the top-tier ones, were designed by her. Instantly, everyone’s eyes were on Lucinda.
Cameron beamed. “You’re so talented, Lydia. And Lucinda, you look absolutely stunning.”
Kylie chimed in. “Exactly. Gorgeous dress, and the person wearing it is even prettier.”
Mr. Norwood laughed. “Beautiful clothes for a beautiful girl.”
Lucinda could feel the warmth of everyone’s praise, it had been ages since she’d been in the spotlight like this, and it felt so familiar and good.
Elliot grinned. “Everything Lydia designs is incredible. Lydia, how do you make
clothes that look this good? You should be my personal stylist.”
He was half-joking, but to his surprise, Lydia nodded right away. “Sure. When I have time, I’ll make a few outfits for you.”
Elliot’s face lit up. “Having Miss Las a little sister is the best. My agent tried to get her to style me once, and she turned him down flat.”.net>

It was true. Miss L was so famous that tons of celebrities wanted her as their exclusive designer, but no one ever succeeded.
Cameron laughed. “Elliot, you just hit the jackpot. Your sister’s giving you the VIP treatment.”
Elliot walked over and threw an arm around Lydia’s shoulders, grinning with pride. “What can I say? My sister is amazing.”
Lucinda watched as everyone’s attention drifted back to Lydia. Her hands clenched at her sides. Was Elliot doing this on purpose? ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsá´› ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ.net
