“You can accompany your brother if you wish. Your sister-in-law doesn’t require our assistance since your brother is managing everything on his own,” Antonia Young said with a bright smile.
Antonia’s eldest daughter-in-law excelled in giving birth to twins—a boy and a girl—as her first children. From the moment Antonia discovered that Jane was expecting fraternal twins, she had been beaming with joy.
At last, Antonia had a granddaughter. Both she and her husband visited their daughter-in-law and the two babies in the hospital daily.
Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette, along with the Murphys, frequently visited the hospital. As fellow mothers, Mrs. Lafayette and Fiona Clayton took care of Jane during her hospital stay with Ben. They felt uneasy, despite the Johnsons having arranged for a caregiver to assist Jane.
“I’ll leave with both of you. I need to book a flight back to Wiltspoon, as there are too many responsibilities waiting for me at work.” Remy planned to exit the hospital with his parents, rather than visiting the inpatient ward.
Upon hearing this, Antonia asked Remy, puzzled, “Didn’t you say you would stay home longer? Why the sudden change to return to the office? Is something wrong at work?”
FC & Co. was a significant business in Wiltspoon. While Antonia wasn’t overly concerned about the business, she was aware of its status as the lady of FC Manor.
If anything serious were to occur with his business in Wiltspoon, her eldest son would need to travel for work to address it.
“Nothing serious,” he replied. “But there are many important matters I need to handle. I’ll book my flight now and fly over this afternoon. I’ll return to attend the babies’ sip and see.”
As they walked, Antonia glanced at her son and asked with a smirk,
“It’s likely not related to the company; you miss Ms. Stone, correct?” Antonia recognized that Remy had feelings for Elisa.
