Kneeling for a Second Chance (Sebastian and Valeria) novel Chapter 257

Sebastian lowered his gaze. He scanned the blue gown on the model. Its voluminous skirt gleamed under the studio lights, the soft blue shining with every shift.

He stared at the gown, lost in thought.

When Selena's shoot wrapped up, Valeria took her back to the dressing room to change.

Sebastian lingered by the doorway. His sharp and handsome features carried the weight of long hesitation. He didn't want to push her into something she didn't want.

However, he also knew that if he walked out of this studio today, he might never get the chance to ask again.

He finally spoke. "Valeria… let's take a picture together. Just this once. I won't bother you again after this."

He had already made up his mind.

He looked into Valeria's eyes as he spoke, then quickly looked away. He didn't want to see her shut him out.

At some point, Sebastian realized he was afraid to look her in the eye.

…

The staff helped Valeria into the blue gown. It was a little too big for her, so they pinned the back to make it fit.

The dress was layered and extravagant, its skirt cascading in tiers.

The staff asked whether she wanted a veil for the photoshoot.

She nodded.

Her hair wasn't styled, and her makeup was light. She didn't want anything over the top as it was just for a picture.

The staff slipped the veil on, tucking her hair into a simple low ponytail beneath it.

…

Valeria stepped out into Studio Two, where Sebastian was already waiting.

He had hurriedly changed into a suit that didn't quite fit. As he adjusted the collar, he lifted his gaze, and the moment he saw her walk in, he froze.

She stood next to him.

Sebastian's fingers tightened into a fist before they slowly relaxed. From the corner of his eye, he caught her in the gown.

He wished he could freeze this moment in time. The blue veil cast her face in a hazy glow.

Valeria kept her gaze fixed straight ahead.
