Six years ago, Grant had not shown up at the wedding ceremony after getting his hands on the money. At that moment, he wanted to attend the wedding ceremony because he was trying to get out of his predicament. Roxanne believed that his motive was only to get money all along.
Roxanne felt cathartic after dealing with Winnie and letting out the pent-up frustration and anger she had kept bottled in for over a decade.
Once they returned to the mansion, Roxanne made a phone call to Sonya and personally informed the latter that she had utterly cut her ties with Grant and that she did not wish for him to attend the wedding ceremony.
Also, there was no longer any need to entertain Grant and Winnie any further.
Sonya felt relieved after she heard that her daughter-in-law had managed to settle her affairs. She comforted Roxanne, assuring her that she would no longer be bullied now that she had the Farwell family at her back.
The two of them chatted for a while longer. Once again, Sonya apologized profusely for the things that had happened before.
Roxanne had long since let the matter go.
“Roxanne, I made countless mistakes because I was a prejudiced and arrogant fool. After the wedding tomorrow, we'll truly be a family. I hope you'll put the past behind us and give me the opportunity to be a good mother-in-law and a good grandmother for the kids.”
Roxanne had not expected Sonya to reflect so deeply on her own actions. “Mom, we need to constantly move on in life. I hope you'll forgive any mistakes I make in the future.” She believed that Sonya had spoken from the bottom of her heart, so she too truly meant what she said.
“All right. You should go get some rest as the preparations for a traditional wedding ceremony begins at three to four o'clock in the morning.”
Roxanne sat on the couch in a daze after hanging up.
Upon seeing her reaction, Lucian asked, “What's on your mind? Are you thinking about your mother?”
He had hit the bullseye.
Roxanne was trying to recall memories of her mother.
She had been very young back then, roughly four to five years old.
In her memories, her mother was always smiling. She wore a sweet expression, and her face was always filled with tenderness.
