Andrew composed himself and responded in a serious tone, Word has gotten out that Ive been discharged from the hospital. According to the traditions, we should expect several visitors at the manor in the coming days. Ill need your help to host themperhaps for dinners or other social events.
No problem, I agreed promptly. As Andrews nominal fiancee, it was indeed my duty.
Debras POV:
Im sorry. The social customs of the witch clan are quite complex. It looks like you might have a challenging time ahead, Andrew said in an apologetic tone.
I gave a smile and replied, Thats fine. Ive been growing restless at the Manor anyway. Just let me know how I can help.
Relieved, Andrew explained further, Visits within the witch clans are rather formal affairs. Youll need to wear formal attire when hosting the ladies. If the hostess is too casually dressed, our guests would think we look down on them. Ive arranged for some dresses to be delivered here; they should arrive shortly.

We settled on the living room sofa to wait for the dresses.

A pang of nervousness struck me because Caleb and I had polished off all the food.
Catching my worried look, Andrew also glanced at the empty plates, then eyed my stomach and remarked playfully, It seems todays breakfast was particularly to your liking.
Flushing with embarrassment, I simply nodded.

Andrews smile was gentle as he replied, I want only the best for you.
Feeling shy, I avoided his gaze for some time.
A shop assistant, catching on to my earlier comment, chimed in with a cheerful grin, Actually, weve brought a total of one hundred and eighty dresses. Thats far more than what we display in the store.
While I appreciated Andrews thoughtfulness, I didnt want to make him feel uncomfortable. So, I carefully selected a few dresses that were luxurious yet tasteful, keeping in mind the preferences of the witch clan ladies.
I then proceeded to try on the chosen dresses.
The shop assistant was lavish with praise.
Madam, you look stunning in this dress. Your figure is so flattering, anything would suit you perfectly. You enhance the beauty of these dresses just by wearing them. Its as if these dresses were custom-made for you.
I felt a bit awkward receiving so many compliments, aware that their flattery was aimed at encouraging us to buy more clothes.
