Chapter 228: A Second Chance
Greg quickly pressed his lips together, realizing his blunder, while Ava scolded him under her breath. Rain couldn’t shake the rush of curiosity and concern. Was Uncle Ben really involved in something so dangerous?
"Rain, dear... if you have questions, I believe you can ask Alexander about it later," Aunt Ava reassured her, sensing her unease. "But don’t worry; I assure you that Ben is just a victim in all of this. He’s a good man."
She wasn’t judging Uncle Ben, but Rain couldn’t help not wanting to know more about the situation. Her Aunt Melanie had already suffered enough, and her safety was a top priority for her.
Thankfully, Alexander approached them and then handed little Sean to Greg. He grabbed Rain’s hand and, with a casual smile, announced, "Now that everyone has formally met my wife, I’ll be taking her with me. We still have a lot of exploring to do."
"Wait!" William interjected. "Shouldn’t we take this chance to discuss the lineup for the hunting event?"
Alexander waved it off. "I’ll be in every lineup with my wife this time. You handle it," he said firmly before pulling Rain toward the motor cart.
Once they were seated, Rain glanced at him, concerned. "Is this really okay? Aren’t we being disrespectful by leaving like this?"
Alexander walked around to the driver’s side, settling in with ease. "They won’t mind," he assured her as he started the cart. "They’ll be busy discussing Alyssa’s situation and other family matters. Besides, they understand we’re in our honeymoon phase."
Blushing, Rain smiled at his nonchalant attitude but couldn’t help her curiosity. "Where are we heading now?"
