Roxanne headed straight to Grant's room after arriving at the hotel.
She had made preparations, thinking of the terms and other potential requests they may make.
However, Roxanne was slightly surprised when Grant opened the door.
Is this man standing in front of me truly my father?
He was slightly thinner than he was six years ago. His face was no longer as ruddy as it had once been. His skin was dryer and had a slightly waxy sheen, and wrinkles filled his forehead.
His hair was cut short too. Perhaps he had gotten it cut because his hair had begun to go white.
“Roxanne?” Grant revealed a slightly excited look in his eyes.
They had not seen each other for many years. Thus, she did not know if it was an act or if those were his true emotions.
Nevertheless, his gaze was somewhat timid. Then, he looked at Lucian and nodded. “Mr. Farwell.”
“Hello, Mr. Jarvis.” Lucian was indifferent. He barely spared the other man a glance before turning back to look at his wife.
Roxanne calmed down a little after seeing her father's humble attitude.
Just then, Winnie came over and stared at Roxanne in astonishment.
She was surprised by the latter's clothing. Roxanne's attire was very elegant, and it made Winnie somewhat embarrassed and jealous.
However, she immediately put on an elated expression. “Roxanne, it really is you! You've changed so much. You look very graceful. I'm sorry your father and I have been traveling so much that we've just found out about your wedding. We came as soon as possible!” Winnie nudged Grant. “Why are you standing at the door? Hurry and invite your daughter and son-in-law in!”
Inwardly, Roxanne applauded Winnie's instant change in expression. The latter was clearly an expert at this. She also spoke as if they had a very close relationship.
