Chapter 40 - The Tea Party

Isabella’s POV

A hush fell over the garden when Ethan and I were shown to the backyard. I had been prepared for the surprise. Ethan wasn’t one to attend casual social gatherings, after all.

Speaking of casual…

My eyes flickered from one guest to another. Everyone was dressed to the nines. One would be tempted to think it was a fashion show with the amount of jewelry and sparkles currently on display.

Seriously, who even wore heels to a garden tea party?

Chloe had insisted that the dress code was casual. Though, in these circles, casual didn’t mean the same as casual to everyone else. Still, it didn’t mean cocktail dresses and diamonds.

Which meant Chloe had deliberately misled me about the dress code.
