Chapter 358 Regret
Hayley’s POV:

I shook my head and immediately said, “Just follow my instructions and gather everything I need. Give me three days, and I will have the wedding dress finished.”
Despite I said it with such confidence, Tanner still looked at me, his face filled with disbelief.
“Hayley, you have to understand,” he began, designing and creating a wedding dress takes at least several months, even for a beta like me. I work night and day; it’s impossible to finish within three days.
“And you’re an Omega. Your body is naturally weaker, and you can’t stay up all night working non–stop.
“Hayley, it’s okay. Even if you don’t finish, I can pay a little compensation,” he tried to reassure me.
I smiled and comforted him, “Trust me, every bride who chooses a custom–made dress has high expectations for it. If you tell them now that their wedding dress won’t be ready on time, imagine how disappointed they would be!
“Besides, the wedding date can’t be changed. Do you really want them to get married with regrets?
After hearing this, Tanner paused for a moment, then finally agreed to let me try..
“Hayley, tell me what you need, and I’ll have everything ready,” he said.
I quickly listed everything I needed. Tanner noted it all down
That evening, I began working diligently in the studio.
Benjamin stayed with me the entire time.
I started by drawing the design, then worked on a sample.
My design was bold and refreshing, with a unique color scheme. The sample dress was striking, and I couldn’t help but feel proud of it.
The whole weekend was spent in the temporary studio Tanner had set up.
To keep me company, Benjamin also moved his workspace there.
Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, two days had gone by.
The dress was a third of the way finished.
Every stitch and every line was sewn by my own hands,
Benjamin’s POV:
Tanner and I stood outside the window, watching Hayley work tirelessly inside. I couldn’t help but feel a deeper sense of respect and admiration for her.

completely changed the way I used to think about her.
“She‘
full of surprises, always giving you something new to be amazed by,” I nodded in agreement.

I turned to Tanner and said, “Let’s not disturb her. Once she’s finished, we can reward her properly.”
Tanner nodded respectfully, and then, as if a thought occurred to him, he said, “Ben, do you remember what I told you before? The reason I asked Hayley for help was because her sewing skills are incredible.
“The last wedding dress she helped with had such unique stitching, it reminded me of a famous wedding dress designer, Lily. The techniques were strikingly similar!
“I was actually trying to figure out if Hayley had any connection to Lily, but by the time I reached the end of my investigation, I hadn’t found any answers, and now here we are.”
“Lily?” I asked, confused.
Tanner explained, “She’s a renowned wedding dress designer in our industry, but she hasn’t released new work in a long time. People say she retired, but her designs are still very much in demand.”
I wasn’t particularly interested in this Lily, but I was more concerned about Hayley, worried if she would be able to handle the strain of working nonstop these past few days.
After all, she’s an Omega, and her body just can’t compare to ours.
Hayley’s POV:
Although I was unsure of Benjamin and Tanner’s whereabouts, my full attention was on my work.
Carefully, I sewed each stitch, feeling no weariness at all
Time passed quietly, from dawn to dusk. When I finished the final stitch, the first light of morning was already peeking through the window, waking the world.
I stretched lazily and muttered, “Finally done.”
Admiring the wedding dress in my hands, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
I double–checked the threads, ensuring there were no mistakes, before I carefully dressed the mannequin in the gown.
Only after that did I begin to feel a little tired.
I yawned several times, just as there was a knock at the door.
