CHAPTER 1957 FAMILIAL RELATIONSHIPS
Jones and Yennefer brought plenty of gifts, which included vintage red wine preserved for twenty years
from Faulkay, Red Hibernia coffee beans that were extremely rare in the south, and expensive
mushrooms harvested from the mountainous regions in Xendale.
Roxanne had never seen most of the items given by the couple.
It was said that one catty of the mushrooms cost tens of thousands.
Roxanne was speechless as she listened to Sonya chatting with Yennefer. The gifts for this visit alone
already cost almost a million.
In front of Elias and Sonya, Yennefer continuously praised Roxanne. She waxed lyrical about her
impressive medical skills, good looks, and ability to manage such a large corporation in addition to
giving birth to three adorable children. It made Roxanne seem like such a rare gem of a wife.
Sonya began feeling guilty and joined her in praising her daughter-in-law too.
Jones and Elias exchanged pleasantries and expressed their deepest regret for not attending Lucian's
wedding. After which, Elias pulled his old pal along with him to taste the red wine.
Lucian and James leisurely sipped the various kinds of premium coffee on the second-floor balcony.
The relationship between both families was pleasant and harmonious.
Yennefer requested Roxanne to keep a lookout for any eligible young woman as James still had not
found a wife.
Roxanne pondered it over and decided that finding a woman good enough for James would be no easy
task.
She only had one close friend and was occupied with Jonathan. In fact, James was very well aware of
that.
“I'm half joking, Roxanne! Just let me know if you ever come across someone you think might be
suitable. Don't worry about it.” Yennefer hurriedly clarified when she observed the troubled look on
Roxanne's face.
Roxanne nodded with a smile. “I'll head to the kitchen to help prepare dinner!”
“What? Does your mother-in-law still require you to cook?” Yennefer eyed Sonya.
Sonya was taken aback and hastily waved her hands. “Of course not! Roxanne doesn't have to worry
about that. There is a cook who has everything taken care of. She's merely thinking of whipping up
several dishes as a treat since all of you are here.”
At that, she turned her gaze to Roxanne.
“My mom cooks mostly and often prepares soup for me. Her culinary skills these days are out of this
world, and the truth is that I rarely cook.” Roxanne inclined her head.
Feeling relief that Roxanne had given her an out, Sonya beamed as she stood. “Let me do it. I recently
learned a new recipe for a soup that will go well with the mushrooms you bought.”
With that, she went to the kitchen.
Yennefer gave Roxanne a sly smile behind Sonya's back. “That's more like it! She used to complain to
me about how inadequate you were. It's payback time!”
Roxanne had not expected Yennefer to react so vehemently to the injustice that he had suffered.
Nevertheless, she still clarified, “That's all in the past. She treats me well now, and I'm certain we won't
be at odds ever again.”
Yennefer nodded and discreetly admired Roxanne for being so magnanimous. There were rifts
between other in-laws that could not be mended, even after a long time.
The two families shared a sumptuous meal where wine flowed freely, and the atmosphere was full of
merriment.
Elias and Jones kept drinking non-stop until nine-thirty. Only then did James manage to get his father
to go home.
When Roxanne returned to her room after tucking the children to bed, Lucian was still reading.
Lucian seemed to have thought of something as he marked the page of the book he was reading with a
bookmark and close it.
“There's something I need to tell you,” Lucian said solemnly.
Roxanne was putting on her moisturizer and nodded. “Go on.”
“I investigated that the Crawford family in the North has assigned a man called Jonas to Horington.
He's been in contact with Grant and given him a large sum. I had a hunch that something was off when
Grant kept trying to rub shoulders with us!”
