Who’s the Dog Now? novel Chapter 127

Naomi had just finished changing when Mrs. Gonzalez knocked on her bedroom door.

Frowning slightly, Naomi walked over to her vanity to brush her hair. "There's no rush," she replied softly.

"What do you mean, no rush?"

Mrs. Gonzalez hurried over. "Do you know what day it is? Zebulon has been hyping this on Facebook for days, and you're still dawdling. As the future lady of the house, you need to show some initiative. Get over there right now and stand with Zebulon to greet the guests. You must let everyone know that you are Zebulon's future wife!"

Naomi felt a suffocating pressure in her chest.

She wanted to say she didn't like that title, but facing her mother, she couldn't bring herself to argue.

"Alright, stop doing it yourself."

Mrs. Gonzalez frowned, snatching the comb from Naomi's hand, not even noticing as the teeth snagged in her hair.

She poked her head out the door and called, "All of you, come in! Hurry, she doesn't have much time."

Naomi barely had time to touch the spot on her head where her hair had been pulled out before she was whisked into the walk-in closet by the stylists her mother had hired.

When she emerged half an hour later, Mrs. Gonzalez's eyes were filled with undisguised approval.

"Yes, yes, this is perfect."

Naomi tugged uncomfortably at her dress. "But I don't want to—"

She never liked overly flashy gowns. The sequins on this one were so numerous they could probably blind a photosensitive person. She truly couldn't comprehend the stylist's taste.

"Young ladies can be too demure. With your looks, the contrast will make a stunning impression. Listen to me, darling, just imagine you're a queen today, going to choose your husband. Look at people with a hint of appraisal, and you'll have the perfect vibe!"

Mrs. Gonzalez chimed in, "Exactly! Tonight, you're going to stake your claim. You need to let everyone know that you are Zebulon's fiancée, that he is yours, and no other woman should even think about it."

Naomi was speechless.

So her only purpose was to be a trophy fiancée meant to ward off other women?

He had despised her when she was just chasing him. If he found out she was there to fend off his other admirers, he would probably flip out.

Naomi really didn't want to ruin his birthday party.
