Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel 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 flashed 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 relationship 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 glances 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.
