She should've worn her most expensive dress if Carson's family would just judge her. Mrs. Lee looked at her from head to toe. She looked like she was around 50 years old but her skin was glossy. Her hair was tied up into a bun and was covered by her black hat. Her make-up was not too much unlike the wives of Avery's exes. Her dress was black as well. The design was simple yet it was elegant.
