There was still a week before Madilyn's wedding.
Both Roxanne and Lucian went to her house to help decorate the place.
Jonathan was hanging streamers while his parents, Zachary and Henrietta, were talking to Lorraine about the specifics of the wedding in the living room.
The couple respected Lorraine's feelings greatly, urging her to speak up if she had any requests, and they would fulfill them as long as it was within the Queen family's capabilities.
On the contrary, Madilyn was so busy getting the new hospital up and running as soon as possible that she was not home yet.
“Hah! The bride-to-be is all calm and unruffled, yet we're all anxious. I told Madilyn not to worry about the situation at the hospital, but she turned a deaf ear to my words and couldn't even be bothered to make preparations for her own wedding.” Noticing that her best friend's wedding gown was wrinkled, Roxanne took out an iron and smoothed the creases.
At her complaint, Lucian chuckled. “It's okay. We don't need to be anxious. That will fall on someone else.”
After saying that, he threw a look at Jonathan.
“Just go downstairs and have coffee, Lucian, Roxanne. I'll be fine doing everything by myself. Indeed, I'm far more anxious about the wedding than Madilyn,” Jonathan voluntarily admitted.
His candor had both Lucian and Roxanne burst into laughter.
Downstairs, the two families chatted amicably. Jonathan had told Zachary and Henrietta about Norton, so they did not mention a word about the man.
When they all saw Lucian and Roxanne coming downstairs, they promptly greeted the couple with a smile, as friendly as ever.
“Don't bother about Maddy's affairs anymore, Roxanne. You're delicate now that you're with child. Quick, come here and have a seat!” Lorraine urged earnestly.
Sitting down, Lucian and Roxanne listened as they continued talking, adding to the wedding details when necessary.
Shortly after, Madilyn returned home.
At the sight of their soon-to-be daughter-in-law, Zachary and Henrietta were beyond satisfied. They quickly helped to remove her jacket, then immediately served her a cup of hot coffee.
