Feeling the clear rejection on Anya''s face, Roseanne''s heart sank, and her expression stiffened a bit.


    Normally, she would not refuse a friendly hand that others extended, but Anya wasn''t about to be nice to Roseanne, considering her intentions to be a mistress and potentially use the Galloway family for her own family''s benefit.


    "Missed me that much, huh?" Anya raised an eyebrow, her expression a mix of amusement and disdain.


    "Y-yeah." Although Ayna didn''t have a straight face toward her, the half-smile on her face made Roseanne feel inexplicably uneasy.


    "Then why didn''t youe back to visit in the past three years? Not even a phone call. What''s the matter? Did you move to some remote ce with no signal, or are you so broke overseas that you can''t afford a ne ticket back?" said Anya.


    Everyone was taken aback for a moment. Roseanne''s already strained smile frozepletely.


    She hadn''t expected Anya to be so blunt, just like Julian, showing no warmth for her return after so long and instead making her feel embarrassed.


    "Anya, I know it was wrong of me. You know how it was when we first moved there. We were in apletely unfamiliar ce and had a tough time.


    "It''s only recently that things have stabilized, and I thought I''de back as soon as possible to see all of you and have a proper reunion," exined Roseanne.
