At Lancaster Ancestral Mansion
"Aunt Melanie, don't worry too much," Rain reassured, gently guiding her aunt out of the car. "Now that Father knows who my husband truly is, I'm sure he'll be kissing Alexander's ass in no time. This is your chance for a little freedom, so enjoy it!" she added with a playful grin.
Aunt Melanie smiled softly but still looked hesitant. "Your father… this might cause more trouble."
Before Rain could respond, a warm and familiar voice cut through the air. "Come, come! Welcome to our humble abode!" Rock Lancaster called out, his cheerful tone instantly brightening the atmosphere. He stood at the entrance, arms open wide in greeting.
Alexander had already called him and explained everything that happened on their way back, so Father Rock was fully prepared to welcome Aunt Melanie.
Rain couldn't help but smile as she took in the sight of her father-in-law, always so full of life, his energy contagious. His head was shaved now, and she knew exactly why.
