Chapter 189: To Lean On
At Lancaster Ancestral Mansion
"Everything’s been sorted out now, so you don’t need to worry," Rock reassured Melanie, lowering his phone after finishing a call.
Melanie let out a deep sigh of relief. "I’m glad to hear that, but... Dina... knowing her, she won’t stop. She’ll just wait for another chance to go after Rain."
"Come, let’s sit," Rock said, leading Melanie to the balcony.
Once they were seated, Melanie looked at him and then bowed slightly. "Thank you so much for supporting my niece all this time. I’m truly grateful. Rain deserves a family that accepts her and treats her with love." Her voice cracked, and Rock could tell she was fighting back tears.
"Rain is already part of our family," he said gently, "which means you are too."
Melanie blinked at him, momentarily stunned. Rock smiled as he explained, "I know my son well. He’ll work quickly to secure your freedom, knowing how much you mean to Rain. And," he added, glancing up with a playful glint in his eye, "I have a feeling you might be joining our family officially soon."
Just then, Ben came out onto the balcony, beaming as he brought over a tray. "Fresh juice and snacks!" he announced, setting everything on the table.
Rock winked at Melanie, adding with a grin, "Ben may not be my blood, but he’s like a brother to me, and I’d be honored to call you my sister-in-law one day."
