Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 2026

Chapter 2026 Heirloom

At a mansion in the suburbs of Herington, Winnie received a call from Grant. She was shocked to learn that he had cancer and was facing imminent death.

Upon hearing the news, Winnie paused for a moment before responding coldly, “You reap what you sow, Grant. You deserve it!”

After a brief silence, Grant calmly asked, “Winnie, I only called to ask for one thing. Do you remember the heirloom that belonged to Roxanne's mother? Please return it to me so that I can give it to Roxanne.”

Winnie's eyes blazed with anger as she bellowed, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have never taken it!”

Her son, Yosef, who had heavy dark circles under his eyes, kept yawning and asking, “Mom, who's on the phone?”

“Your dad,” she snapped.

Grant's voice lowered a few notches. “Winnie, I'm dying. I hope you still have a little bit of conscience. Return the heirloom, and we're even!”

“Listen up, Grant. I didn't take it! I did want to take it back then. We searched the whole house, but we couldn't find it. It’s up to you to believe it or not! Don't call me again in the future!”

Winnie hung up the phone before Grant could respond.

Yosef was unfazed by her furious expression and instead prodded, “Mom, hurry up and cook!”

Feeling annoyed by her son's listless state, Winnie could not help but chide, “Yosef, you need to get a job! You come home late and leave early every day. Besides, your gambling addiction is out of control. Don't you care about your family?”
