Ch. 4891: Married At First Sight Chapter 4891

Chapter 4891

River said, “You make it sound like Auntie doesn’t spoil Belle. Everyone in the family dotes on her. We all do—but we also discipline her when needed. We’re not going to let her grow up spoiled.”

He hoped his niece would have a carefree, happy life, just like her cousin Elisa.

Tania smiled. “Of course. Zachary and Serenity know their limits. As long as they guide the children properly, we won’t interfere.”

So far, all her grandchildren had been remarkably well-behaved.

Her granddaughter, especially, was the envy of everyone—sweet, lively, and just a little spoiled.

The group made their way to the airport parking lot.

The six elders split between River and Romina’s cars, while the Lafayette family’s bodyguards handled the luggage.

On the way, Rosella’s phone rang. It was Mrs. Lafayette.

“In-laws,” Rosella greeted warmly. The two families had long since grown close as in-laws.

Mrs. Lafayette said cheerfully, “Have you arrived in Eaglioncile yet? Did Romina and River pick you up? We wanted to come to the airport too, but Romina said not to—that she and River would handle it.”

Rosella smiled. “We’re on the way now, in-laws. No need to trouble yourselves. I was just scolding River earlier—why drag Romina along when she’s so busy? He could’ve just called for a few cars.”

Mrs. Lafayette chuckled. “You’re here, so of course we should’ve come to pick you up! No matter how busy I am, it’s not more important than welcoming our in-laws. Once you get home and freshen up, come over for dinner. The kitchen’s already preparing a welcome meal for you.”

Grandpa Lafayette had also informed the rest of the family to gather at the mansion that evening.

Rosella smiled, touched. “You’re too kind, in-laws. That’s too much trouble.”

Mrs. Lafayette laughed. “Oh, come now. We’re practically family—why still so formal? When we visited Wiltspoon, didn’t you treat us just as warmly?”

Rosella’s smile widened. “Then we won’t be polite. We’ll come for dinner later.”

“Good,” Mrs. Lafayette said. “We’ll be waiting for you at home.”

The two mothers chatted for a few more minutes before ending the call.

Rosella turned to her son. “River, we’ll go to the Lafayette mansion for dinner tonight. Bring along the meeting gifts first. As for the betrothal gifts for Romina, prepare those for the date your grandmother picked.”

The old lady had already asked someone to choose an auspicious day.

River nodded. “All right. There’s no rush. It’s better to send the betrothal gifts once both families finalize the wedding date. I want everything perfect—I can’t let my future wife down.”

Rosella smiled fondly. “And how could we let her down? I’ve treated all my daughters-in-law the same. Your father, grandmother, and I gave the same gifts to each of them. We’ve been fair. Your uncles and aunts added their own too. We elders treat every junior equally. Anything extra depends on you—on your heart and your wallet.”

The sons in the family were all wealthy and generous, especially when it came to their brides. None of them had ever given modest betrothal gifts; every one was lavish.

“Thank you, Mom,” River said sincerely. “And please thank my uncles and aunts as well.”

Rosella laughed softly. “Your grandmother also gave plenty of gifts. She has something special for every granddaughter-in-law. I’m afraid her private treasury is running low. She even said she’s saving some for Belle’s dowry.”

River smiled faintly. He never wanted to take anything from the elders, but if they insisted, he wouldn’t refuse.

He had no idea how vast his grandmother’s collection truly was. Even his eldest brother probably didn’t know the full extent of her lifetime’s treasures—there were simply too many to count.

Rosella continued, “We’ve always been fair. When your sisters-in-law joined the family, Grandma gave each of them gifts. She’ll certainly do the same for Romina. Grandma knows exactly what she owns. What’s given to her daughters-in-law belongs to them, and what’s reserved for Belle will stay hers. Don’t worry—Belle’s dowry won’t be touched.”
