While the gesture was unnecessary for her, she recognized her mother's eagerness and agreed to partake.

"Gail, it's time we furnish our daughter's room with care," Brendan chimed in once more.

Gail gave a nod.

“I understand. Rosa, have you decided on which room you'd prefer?"

Rosalynn offered a warm smile.

“Any room will do for me."

To her, the particular room was inconsequential; it was the company that mattered.

“Brian, Lyndon, are you still planning on staying at the hotel?"

Brendan inquired.

Brian quirked an eyebrow and declared, "I'll be wherever my wife is!"

The very notion of staying in a hotel while his wife was present seemed absurd.

“How can a hotel ever compare to the comfort of staying here? I'm still recuperating, so staying here is preferable. If something were to happen, someone would be here for me. I have to bother you guys for a few days," Lyndon explained.

Brian shot Lyndon a look, cursing him silently.

What a lame excuse! If it was really uncomfortable living in a hotel, why he hadn't stayed with the Moreno family in the preceding days?

Lyndon met his gaze. A spark seemed to fly between them before Lyndon averted his eyes nonchalantly. Lyndon's attitude conveyed, "I'll stay right here, what can you do to me?"

Brian was unhappy with Lyndon's choice but kept his emotions under wraps. He overheard Brendan instructing the servant, “Apart from Rosalynn's room, prepare two additional rooms, please."

Two more rooms?

Why two rooms?

Brian squinted his eyes.

He and Rosalynn were married. Wasn't it obvious they should share a room?

Lyndon noticed his puzzled look and smiled.

“Mr. Hughes, it's a tradition in Skrix that a married couple shouldn't share a room in the bride's family home. It's considered bad luck for the bride's parents," he explained.

Brian fell silent, pondering the persistence of such old-fashioned customs.

Despite Lyndon's evident amusement, Brian maintained a cool facade.

He wasn't bothered. After all, he was the Moreno's son-in-law, practically family.

His wife was his alone.

Others could only look on and envy their bond.

Meanwhile, at a five-star hotel in Skrix, Selina had requested a lavish room, Shortly after, the doorbell chimed.

She rose to answer it and was greeted by Aldrich's presence.

He wore a charming smile and, without a word, pressed her against the wall, sealing their reunion with an ardent kiss.
