Neera would actually prefer not to make such a big fuss, but she understood that the Park family had good intentions and was doing so in consideration of her.
Therefore, she let out a soft sigh but accepted that arrangement readily.
“Good. It’s perfect. I’m just thinking of bringing my maternal grandparents, aunt, and uncle back from Essley-”
Edward interrupted her with a chuckle, saying, “I’ve already made all the preparations in advance. They are on the plane now and will arrive in about… hmm, three hours.”
Neera was taken aback. “When was this? Why didn’t you tell me in advance so I could make some preparations?”
Edward smiled. “What’s there to prepare? We’re all family here, so there’s no need to be so formal. They’ve seen those unfavorable comments about you online. That’s why they’re in such a rush to return and avenge you.”
Neera couldn’t help finding it both amusing and exasperating. “What’s all this about being revenge?”
On the other of the phone, Edward swiveled his office chair around and gazed at the scenery outside the window behind him with gentleness etched across his features.
“The Park family is incredibly fortunate to have you back. Therefore, this process is necessary. Besides, Grandpa and Grandma are up in years and can’t bear to see you suffer. Of course, my parents and I feel the same way.”
At his words, a wealth of warmth suffused Neera.
“All right, I got it. Give me their flight information. I’ll go pick them up. It’s been a long since I’ve last seen them, and I miss them.”.
Edward smiled and said, “Okay.” Then, he gave her the flight information.
After Neera had hung up the phone, Jean asked from beside her, “Your maternal grandparents are coming back?”
Neera nodded enthusiastically, her excitement evident. “Yes. We still have some time. After we eat, we’ll rest for a bit and go to the airport to pick them up.”
At her excited demeanor, Jean smiled and agreed readily, “Sure.”
After the two of them had gone downstairs, Wrenn suddenly stopped Neera with a look of curiosity on her face.
Neera was puzzled. “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”
Wrenn quickly shook her head, then couldn’t help but ask, “You… have ties with the Park family and are really the long-lost heiress of the Park family?”
Looking at her surprised expression, Neera chuckled lightly before admitting to it openly.
“Yes. We only recently reconciled, so few people knew about this.”
Few people knew about it, but Jean should be one of the few, right?
With that in mind, Wrenn shot a somewhat reproachful glance at Jean as if to scold him for being a brat and not informing the family about such an important matter.
Upon seeing that, Jean raised an eyebrow. He stuck a hand into his pant pocket, exuding an air of nonchalance. “I had so much going on before that I forgot about it.”
10:48 Mon, 11 Dec J
At just that moment, Frederic hummed and solemnly sought Neera’s opinion.
“It seems that the Park family is also your maternal family. Given this significant relationship, the Beauvort family should, by all means, extend a warm welcome to the Park family. I heard they have already moved their company headquarters to Kingsview, planning to develop here. That’s great, for it will be more convenient in the future. The Beauvort and Park families can support each other, and if there are any problems, the Park family can always seek help from the Beauvort family.”
After he had finished speaking, Wrenn quickly nodded in agreement.
“Yes, exactly! You are the granddaughter of the Park family and have married into the Beauvort family. This means the Park and Bo families are now related by marriage. We are a family now. Please feel at home from today on.”
With that said, she glanced at the time and said thoughtfully, “It might be a bit rushed if we pay them a visit tonight. How about doing it tomorrow instead?”
The Beauvort family had never paid a visit to any other family. It had always been others who came to visit them.
But because of Neera then, both Frederic and Wrenn had lowered themselves and took the initiative to foster a close relationship. It was clear that they truly considered the Park family as their own.
Neera couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of Wrenn making all sorts of arrangements.
“Don’t bother. My maternal grandparents aren’t in Kingsview right now. They previously accompanied me to Essley with my uncle and aunt and are currently on a return flight, which won’t land for another three or four hours. Considering the fatigue from the long flight, they’ll likely need to rest for a day tomorrow.”
As she spoke, something occurred to her, and she quickly had an idea.
“How about this? In three days, it’ll be the Park family’s company event. There are bound to be guests invited. We’ll find some time then for you all to meet and have a chat.”
Upon hearing that, Wrenn was somewhat surprised, the joy on her face evident.
“Neera, you’d… be willing to allow us to attend it on that day?”
Neera blinked her eyes. “Why not? Prominent figures in Kingsview will surely be invited that day. Besides, now that I’m married into the Beauvort family, it’s only natural for you all to attend.
Hearing that, Wrenn was touched, her eyes turning slightly red-rimmed.
“Sure, sure.” She nodded repeatedly as though she had been validated, feeling thrilled and excited. “Then, when the time comes, we’ll accompany you there to meet and get to know the Park family properly.”
That evening, Joseph also came home for dinner. The whole family enjoyed a harmonious and joyous meal together.
At the dinner table, Joseph raised his glass at Jean and Neera.
“I haven’t congratulated you both on your wedding yet. Lovers tying the knot is truly a beautiful event in this world.”
Neera and Jean raised their glasses in return.
“Thank you.” A rare hint of warmth graced Jean’s typically calm and composed face.
Since they had to pick up Neera’s maternal grandparents at night, neither of them drank any alcohol.
At that moment, the triplets refused to be ignored. They pouted as though seeking recognition, standing up for
themselves.
“Uncle Joseph, what about us? Ever since Daddy met us, he’s always been smiling. He’s never put on a stern face or lost his temper in front of us. He smiles whenever he sees us!”
“Exactly! When we first met Daddy, we thought he was really intimidating. We were even a bit timid and dared not approach him easily. But after getting to know him, we found out that Dad is actually a very warm person, not at all cold and ruthless as rumored out there.”
Amused by the triplets, Joseph nodded agreeably and went along with them. “Yeah, you’re right. Because of you all, your daddy laughs more and has become more personable.”
The triplets were then satisfied and each took turns serving him food.
“Quick, eat up, Uncle Joseph. This was personally made by Mommy. It’s really delicious!”
That night’s dinner was a joint effort. Half of the food was prepared by Wrenn and the other half by Neera. A professional chef wasn’t involved at all.
Joseph tried a bite and was pleasantly surprised.
“I never knew your cooking skills were so good, Neera. It seems that Jean is in luck.”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
The whole family burst into laughter under the gentle glow of the crystal chandelier above, filling the room with warmth.
