The next morning.
In the bustling dining hall, Ariana was the center of attention, especially for the children and the women, who were the wives of the large family that had united upon learning about the young Duke and Duchess. The mansion was alive with the buzz of family dynamics, each member curious about the other's story.
Zayn, observing Ariana's awkward breakfast, couldn't help but smile. He felt a pang of sympathy for her, but what could he do when everyone was so eager to learn about his wife? Yet, amidst the curiosity, he was grateful for the warm welcome she was receiving, except for Roan's cold demeanor.
"Auntie Elya, please stop staring. You are making her shy." Zayn tries to help a little.
