Madilyn was taken aback by how tight Frieda’s embrace was and didn’t know whether to reciprocate. After a few seconds of hesitation, she patted Frieda’s back lightly and said, “It’s okay. We’re just glad you’re home. Everyone will be very happy to see you!”
Jonathan was a little puzzled by the enthusiastic hug. He then noticed his sister rolling her eyes at him. “Jonathan, you finally made the right choice and chose Madilyn. You weren’t seduced by Coralie in the end.”
Jonathan didn’t know what to say. That was a long time ago!
He was a little surprised by the change in his sister’s personality. She seems brighter than before and less narrow-minded. What had happened to her during her time in the north? Is her relationship with Shawn doomed to fail?
There were many questions swirling in Jonathan’s mind, but he didn’t rush to ask them. Frieda turned to Madilyn and praised her, “Madilyn, you’re so beautiful and kind. Besides, you’re a doctor who saves lives. My brother is so lucky to have you!”
Madilyn blushed at the compliments and quickly waved them off. “No, no, I’m not that great. Am I…”
Frieda nodded emphatically and then mentioned that she had checked in many things and needed to retrieve them. “I brought you guys a lot of wedding gifts. I’ve basically bought all the good things in the north. There are even some supplements that can help with the early conception of a child.”
Frieda’s personality transformation had turned her into a completely different person. In the past, she wasn’t this lively to cause both Jonathan and Madilyn to blush.
She had brought so many things back that they couldn’t fit all of them into the trunk of the car and had to place some in the back seat. When the three of them returned to the Queen residence, Lucian and Roxanne had also arrived.
Roxanne was also surprised by Frieda’s change. However, Frieda seemed to have forgotten everything from the past as she chatted with Roxanne very naturally.
“Roxanne, I’m doing well in Horbah now. I’m also in the medicinal herb business, but most of them are cultured herbs. By the way, if your pharmaceutical company has plans to set up an agency in each state, can I fight for the spot in Horbah?”
Roxanne was surprised by Frieda’s business acumen. She considered Frieda’s proposal and nodded. “This matter will need to be decided by the board of directors. But if there is such a plan, I will definitely support you.”
Frieda smiled happily, rummaged through her pile of gifts, and finally took out a long box before handing it to Roxanne. “Roxanne, this is a tonic that I had a hard time finding! My mother told me you’re pregnant, so you can use it to nourish your body after childbirth.”
Roxanne looked at her husband, stunned. Lucian smiled and nodded. “Take it. Frieda means well, after all.”
Soon, James and Elektra came to help as well. James’ personality had also changed a lot since Yennefer began to recover. He was no longer the dull and serious person he used to be; he appeared a bit carefree and foolish now.
He playfully punched Jonathan as soon as he arrived. “We agreed to be single together, but you secretly got married. That’s not fair!”
Jonathan raised an eyebrow. “If you want to get married, just say the word and there will be women lining up from the city square to the outskirts, no? You said it yourself.”
“Really? When did I say something so arrogant? Hahaha…” James laughed it off. Then he came to Lucian and Roxanne and immediately put away his carefree attitude. He asked with concern, “Lucian, Roxanne, is there anything I can help with?”
He was referring to Roxanne’s mother’s situation. Roxanne shook her head. “Even the police haven’t found a breakthrough yet, so we can’t rush it. Thank you for your kind intentions though, James.”
Lucian narrowed his eyes and glanced at his wife. “Perhaps James can really help. Don’t forget that he’s been studying psychology. He should at least know hypnosis. If we can hypnotize Winnie, maybe we can get her to talk.”
James nodded. He certainly knew his own abilities when he offered to help. Roxanne was a little surprised. She had to admit that she hadn’t thought that far and hadn’t considered this possibility. She couldn’t help but feel a little excited. Maybe we can really do it this way!
“The key is how do we get Winnie to be hypnotized?” Roxanne pondered aloud. Lucian and James smiled at each other. Being nice all the time may not always be the best way. Sometimes one has to take drastic actions. Nevertheless, they didn’t say it outright.
Right then, Elektra finished chatting with Jonathan and Madilyn. She came over to say hello. “Lucian, I notice that Roxanne doesn’t look well. Is she too tired?” After she finished speaking to Lucian, she shifted her gaze to Roxanne and said with a caring tone, “Roxanne, you’re pregnant now. Don’t overwork yourself.”
“Okay. Thank you for your concern,” Roxanne replied politely. Is it just me or Elektra is standing very close to James? The way they’re standing seems to suggest that they have an intimate relationship. Did Elektra suddenly change her mind and fall in love with James?
Roxanne came up with a wild guess all of a sudden. But it doesn’t seem like a bad thing. As long as Elektra doesn’t continue to have feelings for Lucian, anything is fine!
After some small talk, Elektra suddenly took out an eye cream and personally tried it on Roxanne, saying that it could quickly eliminate eye bags.
Roxanne felt the warmth around her eye bags and knew that it was accelerating blood circulation, thereby achieving the effect of a warm pack.
She smiled and instructed James, “Record this down for me. Flora Verba Group will immediately research and develop this eye cream.”
James immediately put on a serious attitude when he heard that a new product was coming out. He listened attentively to the important instructions of the chairman of the company.
Roxanne gave a brief introduction to the underlying principles of the eye cream, explaining that it was not difficult to develop and the research institute could probably get it done in a week.
As they chatted, the conversation shifted to business matters. Madilyn came over and complained about it, then dragged Roxanne and Elektra upstairs to show them Estella’s wedding dress.
When Madilyn showed them the wedding dress, Roxanne was a little envious. Likewise, Elektra couldn’t take her eyes off it.
Estella used a lot of velvet in her design this time and combined it with smooth lines. The skirt had a slightly fluffy look like a white swan about to take off and like an angel descending from the heavens.
Madilyn’s figure had always been good, but this wedding dress made her look even more graceful and regal.
“It’s so beautiful. Estella has really lived up to her role as your goddaughter!” Roxanne praised Estella sincerely. “My daughter is amazing!”
This made Madilyn ask her playfully to focus on her, the bride, instead. Elektra was surprised to learn that Estella had designed the dress and couldn’t speak for a long time.
“So, this is a one-of-a-kind wedding dress in the world. Ms. Xander, it’s perfect on you!” Elektra also praised without hesitation. Madilyn was quite pleased in her heart when. she heard the praises and had a sweet smile on her lips.
She simply didn’t want to take off the dress after putting it on. However, considering that there was still some time before the wedding ceremony officially started, she had no choice but to take it off carefully.
After everyone hung around for a while longer, Jonathan asked them to go back and rest well as they would be busy later.
“Roxanne, go home and rest. I know you have a lot going on lately, but I hope my wedding can bring you some joy. Sleep well, and when you wake up, I still need you to do my hair!”
Madilyn’s tone was full of tender concern. When she woke up this morning and learned about the updated situation from Jonathan, she was so angry that she wanted to fight with Winnie. Fortunately, Jonathan persuaded her to focus on completing the wedding ceremony first.
Roxanne nodded and hugged Madilyn before leaving the Queen residence. Upon returning to the Farwell residence, Lucian took her to the room to rest. Knowing that she probably couldn’t sleep well, he even gave her a hand massage to help her relax. Roxanne slept from the afternoon until the middle of the night.
