That morning, Alexander joined them for breakfast before heading off to work, leaving Rain behind at the estate. Senior Rock seized the opportunity to gather everyone in the front yard and formally introduce Rain to all the workers.
"I want you all to treat her with the same respect you show me and the rest of the family," Senior Rock announced, his voice firm. "Rain is now an additional member of our family as Alexander's wife."
Rain felt a wave of awkwardness wash over her. She offered a slight bow and said, "It's nice to meet you all." She had tried to convince her father-in-law that such a formal introduction wasn't necessary, but he was adamant and wouldn't budge.
"You need to establish yourself in the Lancaster Estate and assert your authority as Alexander's wife if you're truly committed to keeping my son and staying in our family," his firm words echoed in her mind. He was indeed serious about backing her up.
