Chapter 282 A Step Ahead

Patricia stood up coldly. “Please enjoy your coffee. I’ll excuse myself for a moment.”

She went inside and told Christine about the situation.

Christine had been busy arranging tasks for the servants and hadn’t gone out to greet the betrothal gift bearers.

After hearing Patricia’s account, Christine frowned. “We can’t tell Isolde about this. With her temper, she might just throw the gifts out.”

“It seems we’ll have to ask Natasha to step in, Patricia said.

Christine thought for a moment. “Let’s try this: we’ll go out and talk to them again. After all, not much is missing. If they’re willing to make up for it, there’s no need to involve Natasha. Her temper is quite similar to Isolde’s, and she’s especially anxious about Isolde’s wedding. If she gets into an argument, it’ll be embarrassing for both families, and Isolde will be in a difficult position later. The Valen family is, after all, prominent family. Isolde came from the village and didn’t know much about etiquette. If she offends Margaret, she’ll suffer for it later, and we won’t even know.”

Patricia thought her reasoning made sense.

Isolde might be tough and outspoken, but Margaret was still her elder and her future mother–in–law. A single accusation of failing to serve her in–laws properly could crush Isolde under the weight of the charge of unfilial piety.

“Alright, let’s go out and talk to them again. We won’t tell Isolde about this,” the two of them agreed.

Just then, a servant approached, seemingly having overheard their conversation. “During the betrothal

ceremony, the Valen family sent two roosters.”

Patricia and Christine were stunned.

“Rooster? Two roosters?”
