Just like the other families, the St. Claire's were also busy preparing for the King's birthday banquet.
Since this would be Howard's introduction as the Heir of the family, Rutherford personally took it upon himself to train and teach him.
They had begun their classes on Saturday evening which was continued the next morning.
Half the day had passed but there was still no sign of the two men of the household as brushed up on what was necessary for the banquet.
Therefore, this beautiful Sunday evening, Yvonne and her mother were having tea in the garden while the father and son pair were busy in the Office room.
The evenings were cooler so Yvonne sipped warm tea which soothed her throat and belly alike.
Raylene smiled while passing a plate full of her daughter's cookies and watched as she ate them with gusto.
Yvonne was too busy munching on the treats to notice her mother's gentle gaze on her.
