Lilian rolled her eyes. "No, definitely not. Even after getting married, we women still need our personal space and freedom. Taking a jealous husband everywhere you go is incredibly annoying."
Jane nodded. "That does make sense."
Fortunately, Ben was not like Tim. Ben had already said that once he finished handling his affairs, he would simply fly over and join them himself.
This big brother would not throw a tantrum like Tim.
Ben dared to come on his own, but Tim did not. If his wife did not approve and he came anyway, she would probably poison him.
Among all the Johnson brothers, Tim was the one most afraid of his wife.
It could not be helped, as Lilian was unparalleled in both medicine and poison.
Oliver had inherited her talents as well.
He dared not offend his wife, nor do anything to their son. Even Laurence excelled in both medicine and poison.
If Tim refused to listen to Lilian, she could quietly poison him without saying a word. The thought alone was terrifying.
So he could only endure it. After all, he had stubbornly pursued her and insisted on taking responsibility before marrying her.
Back then, Lilian only wanted a son and had no intention of taking a husband, but Tim had been the one determined to take responsibility, which lasted a lifetime.
Though if they met again in the next life, Tim would still want to marry Lilian.
"If Ben comes over in a couple of days, you won't find him annoying, will you?" Jane asked cautiously. "If you think he's in the way, I'll tell him not to come."
Lilian laughed. “That's your husband. He can come and leave if he wants. I have no say in that. The only one I can manage is Tim.
"Now I know why Oliver was so difficult to raise when he was little and always cried. He inherited it from his father. I'd bet Tim was a crybaby when he was young."
Jane laughed as well. "That's entirely possible.
“I'd better tell Ben not to come. Otherwise, Tim will get all pitiful and aggrieved again."
After considering her brother-in-law's feelings, Jane decided Ben should stay home and manage the business rather than come over and disturb their girls' vacation.
Both ladies chatted as they walked to collect their luggage.
They had not brought much, just a few sets of clothes and some daily necessities. Noelle would help prepare anything else they needed.
Jane had also selected two sets of jewelry from her personal collection to gift to Noelle.
Seeing that Jane had brought jewelry, Lilian had likewise brought two sets of jewelry for Noelle, along with skincare products she had personally developed. Noelle was capable of making such products herself, but she simply lacked the time.
The skincare products Noelle normally used were regularly obtained by Laurence from Aunt Cheryl.
After all, he used them too.
Cheryl's family specialized in cosmetics and skincare products, and the products she developed were excellent. The entire Johnson family used her skincare line. Of course, if Lilian were willing to make some, everyone would happily support her products as well.
Half an hour later, Laurence finally met up with the two women.
"Mom. Master." Laurence greeted them while taking Jane's suitcase from her hand, then reached for Lilian's suitcase as well.
"You've been on a plane for several hours. You must be tired."
"Mommy Jane. Master.” Noelle greeted them as well and hurried forward to help with the luggage, but there was no need. The bodyguards had already taken the suitcases from Laurence.
Jane responded with a smile, while Lilian gently touched Noelle's cheek and said, "Your skin isn't quite as soft and youthful as it should be. Has that brat Laurence been skimping on your skincare products?"
