Chapter 4 4

*kringggggg*

I lazily reached for my phone and answered the call that rudely woke me up.

"What!? Who's bothering me so early?" I exclaimed in irritation before closing my eyes again.

"I'll give you five minutes to prepare yourself," Erren's voice snapped me awake.

I hastily got up and was about to answer when he hung up.

Sighing, I laid back down, but a loud knock on my door forced me to get up again.

"What!?" I yelled while sitting on the bed.

"Hannah, Erren has been waiting downstairs for a while now," Hazel shouted, making me rush to open the door.

"Erren?" I asked, to which she nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!?" I asked angrily, but she just rolled her eyes.

"Because you were in deep sleep, for the third time I had to come up here to wake you. Come on, Erren's been waiting downstairs since earlier," she said before walking away.

I quickly headed to the bathroom to freshen up but ended up vomiting after a few minutes.

A few minutes later, I was dressed in a simple floral dress.

Downstairs, I saw Erren talking to my mom.

"Sorry, Hanni," my mom said. "You're slow to wake up, unlike Hannah."

"Hannah... tsk, Hannah again," I muttered.

"It's okay, Auntie," Erren replied, and I kissed my mom's cheek.

"Mom, we're leaving," I said, and she nodded sadly.

You don't have to smile, Mom, because it breaks my heart. Just tell me you're not happy that I'm marrying Erren.

I sighed and followed Erren out.

As we left the house, he went to the driver's seat, leaving me no choice but to take the passenger seat myself.

During the ride to the store where Hannah's wedding dress was being made, we didn't exchange a single word.

He silently drove, while I fiddled with my fingers.

"Who designed Hannah's gown?" I asked, breaking the silence.

He seemed hesitant to answer, but he eventually did.

"Aunt Faith," he replied coldly. I nodded, pretending to be interested even though he wasn't looking at me.

"What kind of fabric did she use, and is the design she showed you nice?" I asked, feigning curiosity.

He finally looked at me, a hint of disappointment in his expression.

"What's wrong with Aunt Faith's design? She's a famous designer, you know. You can look up Princess Diana of England's wedding gown – she designed that personally," she said seriously.

I nodded and secretly admired Aunt Faith. It was impressive that she had designed my wedding gown.

I felt like I was on par with Princess Diana.

"That gown was supposed to be a wedding gift for both of us, Hannah and me," she added emotionlessly.

I sighed, realizing that the gown was truly meant for Hannah.

A few minutes later, we arrived at Aunt Faith's store. As soon as we entered, she warmly greeted Erren with a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Hannah, I've missed you," she said with a smile and hugged me too.

I smiled back and looked at her. "I'm not Hannah; I'm Hanni, Hannah's twin sister," I said and smiled.

I noticed her confusion as she turned to look at her niece, who was now sitting on the sofa.

"Wait a moment, I just want to talk to Erren alone," she said and pulled Erren aside.

I sighed and picked up the magazine with Aunt Faith's wedding gown designs.

The one that caught my attention was a sleeveless light blue gown with small dark blue flowers sewn on the upper part and a simple design at the hem.

Simple yet elegant – it was perfect for the beach wedding I'd always dreamed of.

I couldn't help but admire Aunt Faith, especially after I learned that she had designed my wedding gown.

I felt like I was on the same level as Princess Diana.

"That gown was meant to be a wedding gift for us, Hannah and me," Erren told me without emotion.

I nodded and secretly marveled at Aunt Faith. It was impressive that she had designed my wedding gown.

I felt like I was on par with Princess Diana.

"That gown was meant to be a wedding gift for us, Hannah and me," Erren added without emotion.

I nodded and secretly admired Aunt Faith. It was impressive that she had designed my wedding gown.

I felt like I was on par with Princess Diana.

"Put it in your head," Aunt Faith said, handing me a flower crown. I tried to hide my disappointment when she called me "Hannah."

I smiled and walked towards Erren, who hadn't spared a moment to look at my outfit.

I sighed and was about to enter the fitting room when Aunt Faith approached me.

"You love Erren, don't you?" she asked as she helped me with the gown.

I nodded and looked down. "Why?"

"Because it's hard to love someone who's not yet done loving someone else," she said, gazing at Erren before turning her serious eyes on me.
