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.
