Chapter 1872


    CHAPTER 1872 HOW COULD THEY NOT SHOW UP


    Lucian was not ignorant. The fact that Roxanne had never mentioned her parents had not gone


    unnoticed by him.


    With that in mind, he even asked Archie and Benny about their grandparents, but both had no


    impression of ever meeting them.


    All that pointed to the fact that Roxanne was deliberately avoiding her family.


    A thought shed through his mind that reminded him of something from years ago. It seems like my


    first marriage with Roxanne directly resulted from her father and stepmother''s greed for money.


    “Dad, Mom, I need you guys to back off regarding this. There''s more to Roxanne''s family than meets


    the eye, and I don''t think it is a must for them to show up at our wedding!” Lucian thought maybe


    Roxanne didn''t have a deep rtionship with her family. Hence, it wasn''t a good idea to track down


    Roxanne''s father and stepmother now.


    Elias and Sonya immediately exchanged knowing nces with each other. They seemed to recall


    some matters from the past as realization struck them.


    “Oh, yeah. I remember her father, Grant Jarvis, owned a medium-sized factory in Horington. He sold


    Roxanne to us when his factory ran into money trouble.” Elias nodded.


    “Yes! Yes. I recalled that as well. I''ve met Roxanne''s stepmother once. Her name is Winnie Chardon.


    She was in her forties then, dressed skimpily. I know she didn''t like Roxanne.”


    When Roxanne married Lucian, Winnie repeatedly tried to get on Sonya''s good side. Nevertheless,


    she failed because Sonya was averse to Roxanne then, not treating her marriage to Lucian seriously.


    To her, the wedding was just a tool to bring luck so that Ethan Farwell, Lucian''s grandfather, would


    have a speedy recovery.


    “Now, both of you know why Roxanne doesn''t talk to them anymore. I think she will be frustrated if we


    ask them to show up abruptly,” Lucian said sternly.


    Sonya and Elias shivered. Luckily we did not identally make a mistake. If Roxanne had been here


    just now, she would have felt so ufortable because of the topic.


    “Then, what should we do now? Should we really skip the part about informing Roxanne''s parents? We


    don''t know where they are now, though. It''s unusual for Grant and Winnie not to show up when


    Roxanne returned to the country with great aplishment,” Sonya questioned. She was just as


    confused as Lucian.


    “I think I might have some information about their whereabouts. Grant is no longer in Horington


    because after Roxanne and Lucian divorced, many of Grant''s creditors knew he had lost his guarantor,


    so they urged him to repay his loans. Due to his debt issue, he became an untrustworthy and dishonest


    judgment debtor. In the end, he ran away from Horington,” Elias exined, shedding light on the


    situation.


    “With a dad like Grant and a stepmother like Winnie who cared only about money, there''s really no


    need to invite them to the wedding. Why don''t you ask for Roxanne''s opinion? We''re okay with her


    decision if that''s what she wants.” Sonya spoke.


    Elias nodded, agreeing with Sonya.


    After that, Elias and Sonya chatted further on this matter before they left the mansion.


    Roxanne came back downstairs after she got changed. She noticed Elias and Sonya were gone, so


    she asked, “Honey, were Dad and Mom here just now? I heard their voices. Where did they go?”


    “Yeah. They showed up to inform us that they''d chosen a date for our wedding. It''s going to happen


    soon!” Lucian looked thrilled.


    “Really? Then... Let''s do this.” Roxanne smiled happily.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.
