Bennett led Yvonne to greet the Thompson family elders.
Mr. Thompson Sr. and Bennett’s uncle were both high-ranking military officers, so it wasn’t appropriate for them to attend such a commercial banquet. Neither was present.
However, Bennett's aunt, Dana, along with Noah and his wife, and of course, Frank and Emma, were all there.
Bennett formally introduced Yvonne to his family once more.
“Mr. Thompson, Mrs. Thompson,” Yvonne said politely, greeting Frank and Emma.
“Dear, you and Bennett are already married. You shouldn’t be calling us Mr. and Mrs. Thompson. It’s time to call us Mom and Dad,” Dana corrected with a smile.
Frank nodded with a smile, clearly in agreement. Emma remained silent, looking as if she had long since resigned herself to the situation. Since Bennett wouldn’t marry anyone but Yvonne, her objections as his mother were futile, and she had no choice but to accept it.
“Mom, Dad,” Yvonne called out, a little shyly.
Frank was delighted and immediately handed Yvonne an unlimited black card as a welcoming gift for officially joining the family.
“Aunt Dana, Karina,” Yvonne said, greeting them with equal courtesy.
Dana smiled, took Yvonne’s hand, and slid a jade bracelet onto her wrist. It was a violet jade bracelet; though the color didn't quite reach the level of imperial violet, its quality and luster were excellent and quite rare on the market.
“Aunt Dana, this is too valuable,” Yvonne said, instinctively trying to refuse.
Since that branch of the Thompson family wasn’t involved in business, this bracelet was an incredibly generous gift from Dana.
