Chapter 298: Charades
Rain and Sanya exchanged meaningful glances during dinner. Aunt Vernice had been staying with them in the mansion for the past few days, and both of them had quickly warmed to her.
She was easy to get along with bubbly, friendly, and surprisingly the only person who could match their father-in-law’s straightforwardness without hesitation.
After dinner, Sanya suddenly suggested, "How about we have a family game night out on the balcony by the fire?" But she quickly turned to Rain and asked with a chuckle, "Or do you need to work?"
Rain smiled. "It’s fine. I could use a break, so let’s do that!"
Vernice, overhearing the conversation, grinned widely. "Oh yes! Finally! I thought I’d be the only one up late tonight. It’s Saturday tomorrow, so let’s stay up all night!" she beamed.
Rain and Sanya laughed as Vernice took charge, giving instructions to the servant to bring drinks and snacks for their impromptu game night. It was a simple plan, but the kind of relaxed evening they all needed.
The night unfolded with laughter and lighthearted fun. As the fire crackled on the balcony, the group settled comfortably around it, each with a drink in hand. The warmth of the flames and the cool night air created the perfect atmosphere for their game night.
William, always ready for a challenge, was the first to suggest a game. "How about charades?" he grinned, nudging Alexander. "I’ll bet I can guess whatever you act out in less than five seconds."
Alexander raised an eyebrow, clearly amused by his brother’s confidence. "We’ll see about that," he replied with a smirk.
