Chapter 1261: I Believe in Your Ability
Evelyn thought about Blake and Bella's vibe with Dermot and gave a nod. "Yeah, they're already talking about tying the knot."
"No way! That's awesome," Ruby said, grinning. "Looks like you and Dermot are next in line."
"Hold up, not so fast. My dad still has to figure out when to set the date," Evelyn knew what Ruby was getting at. Ruby was probably hoping that once she and Dermot got hitched, she could lock down her own wedding plans with Alex.
Ruby smirked. "Picking the right date is key. Your last wedding was way too rushed; this time, it should be more chill."
As Evelyn's bestie, Ruby wanted her to be happy forever, so she didn't mind waiting a bit longer.
They chatted over coffee until the evening, then went their separate ways. Evelyn wanted to check on Dermot to see if he had sobered up, so she skipped dinner with Ruby.
Back at the villa, Evelyn didn't see Dermot in the living room and figured he was still knocked out, so she headed to the bedroom.
To her surprise, the bedroom was empty too, which threw her off. Could Dermot have gone to the Doyle Group?
Thinking this, she left the bedroom and noticed the light was on in the study next door, which piqued her curiosity.
She pushed the door open and saw Dermot at the desk, totally absorbed in drawing something. Evelyn didn't make a peep and quietly walked over.
A big sheet of A3 paper was on the desk, but that wasn't the kicker. What caught her eye was the sketch of a wedding dress on it. Dermot, deep in concentration, was working on it with serious care.
Evelyn's eyes got a bit misty. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't touched. "Did you draw this?"
"Evelyn, when did you sneak in?" Dermot was startled to see her beside him. Too late to hide the design now.
He gave a sheepish smile. "I wanted to surprise you, but you caught me."
"You were so into it you didn't even notice me," Evelyn said, reaching out to get a closer look at the sketch.
Dermot wasn't a pro designer, but the sketch was stunning and captivating. Evelyn praised, "It's gorgeous."
"Do you like it? I taught myself, and I was worried you wouldn't dig the design," he had been stressing over whether to design it himself or leave it to a pro.
But he felt the wedding dress was too important, so he decided to go for it himself.
Evelyn smiled at him and said, "I love it. Your design is amazing, just as good as any pro's."
"I'm stoked you like it. But from sketch to finished dress, it's gonna take some time," Dermot said.
Evelyn nodded and put the sketch down, "No rush, take your time. I trust you."
"You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's grab some food," Evelyn suggested.
Dermot nodded and then put the sketch away.
He'd be super busy for a while, not just with the wedding dress but also the rings, which he wanted to design himself.
The two left the study. Even though it was still early, Dermot wasn't fully sober yet, so they decided to head out for a bite.
