Chapter 1929 An Important Secret
“Lucian, Roxanne, the two of you have been up all night. You should go upstairs and get some rest.”
Upon returning to the mansion and after checking on his slumbering mother, James urged Roxanne and Lucian to
get some rest.
The two of them realized that the Lann father and son still had unspoken words. Hence, they tactfully went away to
allow them to communicate.
However, they were quite exhausted as well. That night, the two of them slept soundly. When they woke up the next
day, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning.
When the two of them got up to wash up, they heard Yennefer shouting outside the house.
“Roxanne, Lucian, it's time to eat breakfast!” Yennefer appeared to be in great condition that day. She wore a smile
as she glanced at Roxanne with a somewhat satisfied looking expression.

to speed when he saw her that morning.
Lucian grew a little nervous. “Everything? What was her reaction? Is she willing to go through with it?”
“No, no. Lucian, you're mistaken. I only explained to my mother the current timeline. I told her that she had been in
a coma for a long time but omitted the part about you and Roxanne getting married. I think she wants to help plan
the wedding. She nearly gave Mrs. Farwell a call this morning!”
So, that was what happened.
Roxanne and Lucian exchanged glances. Good thing it was only a false alarm.
If James really told Yennefer everything, the latter was likely unable to hold it together.
“Roxanne, it was thanks to your suggestion that I met with my mother. I was really worried that my presence would
affect her greatly. I did not expect her to be this happy,” James said as he glanced at the garden. His parents were
watering the plants together.
Yennefer was currently nagging Jones about the plants. She had tended to the flowers with great care, and yet
weeds and various diseases had spoiled them.
“James, trust Mrs. Lann. She's only a little confused right now. You are always very important to her in her heart.”
Roxanne took the opportunity to assuage James' unease.
Lucian was well aware of his wife's temperament. The latter did not enjoy lecturing others. Thus, he followed up
with some words of encouragement and added, “Honestly speaking, I think your presence calms Mrs. Lann down. I
was thinking about the incident in Alendor where she had been frightened by the gunshot. Perhaps she had
mistakenly thought that you were in danger.”
Stunned, James fell into deep contemplation. Eventually, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. “I guess I'm not
good at diagnosing myself. I tend to think of the worst scenarios. Thanks to Roxanne's and your guidance, I think
I've finally understood the situation better.”
Roxanne and Lucian were pleased to see James smile. It was as if the latter had finally set down a rock in his heart.

This time, James did not try to escape.
Yennefer returned to the hall after she finished voicing her complaints to Jones.
“James, make sure you entertain Lucian and Roxanne properly! It's so rare for them to visit us. Go bring out your
father's private coffee stash,” Yennefer said as she greeted the couple with a smile.
She felt regretful that she had been unable to attend their wedding because she had been unwell.
Roxanne waved her hand and said that she did not mind. She also promised to show Yennefer their wedding photos
when they had time.
Yennefer grinned from ear to ear. “I really envy Sonya! It would be like a dream come true to have such a talented
daughter-in-law.”
“You're flattering me too much, Mrs. Lann,” Roxanne replied modestly.
James prepared the coffee and served Lucian and Roxanne. Just then, Jones came into the hall, and they began to
chat about lighthearted topics. Naturally, the topic of the three children's antics came up.
Yennefer was greatly amused. She adored the children and wanted to meet with them as soon as possible.
When James felt that the moment was right, he suddenly turned to his mother and declared calmly, “Mom, there's
something I've always wanted to tell you. It's my most important secret. May I tell you in private?”
