Reborn to my engagement night by Baxter Walters

Chapter 5 Never Let Him Down

The following afternoon, Madelyn pushed open the door to her walk-in closet, intending to pick out an

appropriate outfit to wear to the class reunion dinner.

The moment she opened it, she was stunned to see a wide variety of clothes of all shapes, colors, and styles.

The walk-in closet was filled to the brim with haute couture, all imported from abroad. Sebastian had personally

instructed designers to prepare these for her. Yet, in her previous life, she did not appreciate his efforts and

didn’t even bother sparing these exquisite pieces a glance.

Only then did she realize these clothes were all of her favorite styles and were incredibly flattering to her figure.

Knocks sounded at the door, and Lydia arrived carrying a tray of snacks.

She set down the tray, noticing Madelyn was picking out clothes. Despite her surprise, an amicable smile still

spread across her face. She could sense that Madelyn had changed.

Upon seeing Lydia, Madelyn seized the opportunity to ask her, “Lydia, did Sebastian have someone send these

clothes?”

Lydia chuckled. She had always been fond of Madelyn, and since the latter was behaving surprisingly amiable

and cheerful today, she told her the truth. “Yes. Mr. Lockhart personally selected all these designs. He didn’t

wantto tell you, probably worried that you might not like them and his efforts would go down the drain. But, |

think you must already know Mr. Lockhart’s feelings,” she said, laughing softly.

Madelyn cast her gaze downward, sighing inwardly. It’s just as | expected. | must have been out of my mind back

then, mistaking sincerity for pretense and pushing away those who truly care about me. Such a wonderful man

was right by my side. How could | have missed it? Luckily, I've cback to life. | won't miss out again in this

lifetime. | will never let him down.

After spending a long tdeciding, Madelyn settled on an elegant yet stunning dress. She held it up against

herself, gauging how she might look in it. Turning to Lydia, she asked, “What do you think? Is it nice?”

Lydia smiled. “With a face as stunning as yours, you'd look beautiful in anything.”

Madelyn was embarrassed. “You flatter me, Lydia.”

Lydia took a few steps inside and opened a wardrobe. “Mrs. Lockhart, there are high heels and designer

handbags in here that match the dress. There's also quite a bit of jewelry. Feel free to wear whatever you like.”

As she spoke, she eagerly brought out several jewelry boxes, presenting them to Madelyn.

Madelyn felt moved and said gratefully, “Thanks, Lydia.”

With a bright smile, Lydia responded, “If Mr. Lockhart sees you wearing the clothes he has prepared, he will be

delighted.”

Madelyn pondered for a moment before swiftly slipping into the light purple dress she had selected, admiring her

reflection in the full-length mirror. Handing her phone to Lydia, she flashed a charming smile and said, “Could

you take a full-body picture of me, please?”

Before the camera, Madelyn donned a graceful yet endearing smile, her clear, captivating eyes possessing the

power to effortlessly captivate hearts.

After the photo was taken, Madelyn immediately sent it to Sebastian and texted him, asking: How do | look?

She waited for a while without receiving a response, but she didn’t mind, assuming he was busy.

Madelyn was halfway through applying light makeup before the mirror when Janessa’s call cthrough again.

“Madelyn, are you getting ready? It's just a simple class reunion. You don’t need to dress up too much. Just wear

your usual attire. | just wanted to remind you that the gathering is about to start soon. Remember to arrive on

time.”

Madelyn listened to her in silence, not responding to a single word she said, and then hung up the phone.

She began sneering inwardly from the moment she answered that phone call, for Janessa had also said the same

exact words in her previous life. However, when she reached the venue back then, she saw Janessa all dolled up,

stealing the spotlight. As for Madelyn, standing next to Janessa, seemed dull and unremarkable in contrast.

Today, I'm not going to listen to her.

When Madelyn left the house, she made her way to Sebastian's garage and selected a sleek, cool-looking

Porsche sports car.

She drove all the way to the exclusive club.

Upstairs, within the private room, people were clinking their glasses clinked and exchanging toasts.

When Madelyn walked in, she immediately sensed everyone's gaze shifting toward her. They were all in awe.

Her classmates didn’t recognize her and were all busy guessing who she was.

With a faint smile gracing her lips, Madelyn spoke. “I apologize for being late.”

“Is that you, Madelyn? You look absolutely stunning today!” someone exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone was taken aback. Though they all knew Madelyn was pretty, she had never put much effort into her

appearance before. In fact, she was often a bit unkempt, and her outfits could best be described as eccentric.

However, no one expected her to be drop-dead gorgeous once she made an effort to dress up.

She was draped in the softest lilac gown, its delicate hue accentuating her flawless figure. The elegant length of

her neck, the low cut of her dress revealing a generous expanse of smooth, alabaster skin, the graceful curve of

her chest, her slender waist, and the hint of her long legs—all combined to captivate the onlookers.

Her features exuded natural elegance, enhanced by a touch of light makeup, rendering her even more charming

and captivating. Whether it was her gentle smile or a subtle shift of her body, she epitomized grace, her light

purple gown adding to her ethereal presence.

Among the myriad of astonished gazes, one stood out—a stare brimming with jealousy.

Janessa downed a gulp of wine. She had been basking in the glow of others’ compliments, having worn a costly

designer dress specifically for this gathering. However, the moment Madelyn made her appearance, she

outshone everyone else, and just like that, Janessa’s spotlight was stolen away.

The room was abuzz with chatter; all singing praises for Madelyn. Even the women who were originally

surrounding Janessa were drawn to Madelyn.

“Madelyn, you looked stunning today. This dress looks perfect on you! It must have been quite expensive, right?”

“Yeah! May | touch it?”

“Wow, this fabric feels so comfortable! And it’s gorgeous, too!”

“Madelyn, so many men would've fallen for you if you had dressed up before this!”

Madelyn nodded at every one of them as a greeting. She then picked up a glass of champagne and delicately

took a sip.

Thinking back to how she used to dress herself, she found it amusing. | must have been crazy to have believed

what Janessa had said.

At that moment, Janessa approached with a frown and asked, “Why are you dressed like this? It's a bit too

formal, don’t you think?”

Madelyn smiled. “Didn't you askto dress simply? It's such a hassle to wear those heavy metal clothes |

Madelyn glanced over, noting the still unoccupied seat right next to Christopher.
