Chapter 82: I’m Entrusting My Son to You

Rain stirred in the bed and slowly opened her eyes. A smile formed on her lips because she felt rested and comfortable, which was a rare treat. Glancing at the clock, she was surprised she had slept straight through for four hours. It was already six in the evening. Startled, she jolted upright and quickly got out of bed. She didn’t want her father-in-law waiting for her for dinner.

She hurried to fix herself up and then left the bedroom. As she walked out, she couldn’t help but smile when her eyes landed on the door opposite hers—Alexander’s bedroom. Curiosity flickered in her mind as she wondered what it looked like inside. Shaking her head to clear the thought, she made her way downstairs.

A servant greeted her politely. "Where’s Father-in-law?" Rain asked.

"Sir Rock is with Butler Ben, playing chess in the library," the servant replied with a smile, her name tag reading "Linda."

"I see, thank you, Linda." Rain smiled back, ready to leave, but then paused. "How about Alexander?"

"Oh, Sir Alexander is in the gym," Linda answered.

Rain’s eyes lit up with interest. "Where’s the gym?"

Linda smiled warmly. "Let me escort you there, Ma’am."

Rain nodded and followed Linda’s lead. The Lancaster estate in the capital city was vast, as she had read in reports, but the specifics inside were kept private—a preference of the Lancaster family, as Sanya had mentioned.

It was already dark outside, but Rain was determined to explore the estate over the weekend. She thought it would be even better if Sanya could join her, as her friend had been eager to see the Lancaster Family Estate.

"How many residences are there on the estate?" Rain asked curiously as they walked.

"There are a total of four, Ma’am. This is the main residence, and the other two are occupied by Sir Rock’s siblings, Madam Ava and Sir Greg. The fourth residence is vacant," Linda explained.

Rain nodded as they neared an indoor pool area. Linda pointed to an adjacent section and said, "The gym is there, Ma’am."

"Thank you, Linda. You can go back now," Rain said before heading toward the gym. The gym had large windows and mostly transparent walls that overlooked the gardens, giving it an airy and open feel.

Rain stepped into the gym and immediately spotted Alexander, mid-pulldown exercise, his bare chest glistening with sweat. The sight made her gulp involuntarily. It wasn’t the first time she had seen him shirtless, but now she had the chance to fully appreciate the defined muscles and perfectly toned abs that would make any woman swoon—including her.

’But this man is mine for four months!’ Rain possessively thought to herself.

"Liking what you see?" Alexander’s voice snapped her back to reality. Her face flushed instantly, and she quickly closed her slightly parted lips.

Trying to cover her embarrassment, Rain smiled at him and answered boldly, "Very much!"

She grabbed a towel nearby and walked over to hand it to him. "I love working out too. Let’s do it together next time," she said casually, hoping her blush had subsided.

Alexander accepted the towel with a slight frown. "You need more rest. You can start working out with me after five days. You still have a mild concussion," he reminded her.

"Right, but I’d love to feast my eyes on you while you work out," she teased, grinning as she stared at him. Her heart raced with satisfaction when she noticed his face turning red. She should tease this man more often!

"Are you a pervert?" he hissed. Rain ignored the remark and simply chuckled.

"I’m supposed to perform wifely duties, aren’t I? Admiring my husband’s physical traits is part of that. This is me being a very mindful and appreciative wife," she winked playfully.

With that, she turned on her heel. "Get ready for dinner. I’ll go check if the dining area is set," she said, quickly leaving the gym while patting her blushing cheeks.

This was just the beginning. Rain was determined to work hard to make Alexander Lancaster change his mind and keep her as his wife.

Rain found herself heading toward the kitchen after asking another servant for directions. To her surprise, she spotted her father-in-law, Rock, there with Butler Ben.

"Linda told me you were awake, so I’m having the chef prepare all your favourite dishes," Rock explained with a warm grin. Then he added, "Come, sit with me in the dining area. The food will be served soon, my dear."

He gently took her arm and led her to the dining area. Rain couldn’t help but smile as Rock even pulled out a chair for her. His attentiveness and care made her feel truly pampered, and she was loving every moment of it.

"How was your sleep? Did you have any trouble resting, maybe feeling uncomfortable in a different room? Some people find it hard to sleep in new surroundings," he asked with genuine curiosity.

"Oh no, I rested well, Father. I’m surprised I was able to sleep for that long," Rain replied with a smile, feeling at ease in his presence.

"I like the sound of it—you calling me Father. I always wanted a daughter, but fate didn’t grant me one. It’s not too late, though. I’m more than happy to gain a daughter-in-law. Let’s both work hard on my son, Rain," Rock commented, leaving Rain momentarily speechless.

Before she could respond, Rock handed her a small notebook. "Keep this with you," he said. Rain took the notebook and opened it, her eyes widening as she read the contents.

"This is..." she murmured, flipping through the pages in disbelief.

Rock chuckled warmly. "That’s everything you need to know about my son—his favourites, his likes and dislikes, his allergies and more... I hope it helps you two stay married for a lifetime. It’s my way of saying I’m entrusting my son to you."

Rain turned to her father-in-law, her mouth slightly agape. She was at a loss for words. Did Rock really like her this much? Enough to help her win over Alexander?

Her heart swelled with emotion, and a wide smile spread across her face. Determinedly, she said, "I’ll definitely not let you down, Father!"

"What won’t you let him down with?" Alexander’s voice interrupted as he casually took a seat beside Rain.
