The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 976
Meanwhile, Adriana, accompanied by Chad, also arrived at the place where the two elders lived in the countryside.
They had initially thought that Jean had arranged for them to stay in an ordinary residence.
Unexpectedly, it was a beautifully renovated mansion, with an overall style that evoked the feel of a Jussipi building.
In a rural area like this, this mansion could be considered a luxurious residence.
It was evident that Jean's people had not mistreated these two elders.
“Go on in.”
Seeing that Adriana was still hesitant, Chad couldn't help but take her hand, speaking to her in a gentle voice.
Adriana nodded, mentally prepared herself, then pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
The front door of the mansion itself was not closed. Hence, as soon as the two of them entered, they could hear some noises coming from inside the house.
Following the sound to where the dining room connected with the living room, she immediately spotted two elderly figures sitting face to face while enjoying their dinner.
The meal looked quite simple—they must have made it themselves.
Under the light, the two elderly individuals seemed to have aged significantly since the last time Adriana saw them, their heads now bearing considerably more silver hair.
Upon noticing that fact, Adriana felt a faint tickling in her nose, and her heart was filled with discomfort.
However, she hid it well, stepping out from around the corner and taking the initiative to greet, “Dad, Mom.”
Upon hearing this sound, the two elders thought they were experiencing auditory hallucinations for a moment.
It took a few seconds before they turned their heads to look.
At first, they were momentarily dazed, but then an irrepressible joy quickly followed.
Both of them stood up simultaneously. The abruptness of their movement caused the chairs to scrape against the floor violently.
“Adriana, you... you're back!”
The old man could hardly hide his excitement, his voice trembling as he spoke.
The old lady was the same, quickly stepping forward to approach Adriana. She looked the latter up and down several times, her eyes welling up with tears.
“We didn't think you were willing to come back to see us. It's really wonderful to see you...”
Adriana hadn't seen them behave like this in a long time, and a mix of emotions suddenly welled up in her heart.
Suppressing her emotions, she nodded and said softly, “Yes, I came back to visit and take care of some things.”
“That's good. Great!”
The old lady was so excited that she didn't know what to say; she just kept nodding her head.
At that moment, she noticed a man behind her daughter, which took her by surprise.
For some reason, she felt that the man looked somewhat familiar.
The old man felt the same way as he sized Chad up for quite a while.
Despite the inquisitive gazes of the two elders, Chad's expression remained calm and indifferent. He politely nodded toward them, considering it as a form of greeting.
Gladeon nodded back distractedly, unable to resist asking Adriana, “Who is this?”
“His name is Chad Gordon.”
Adriana spoke his name directly, her tone calm.
“He is the same man from years ago, and we are about to get married. This trip back home is specifically to give you all a heads up.”
The same man from years ago...
Upon hearing this, the elderly couple were taken aback.
After a dozen or so seconds, they finally reacted, their expressions somewhat dazed.
So, he's the man who fell in love with our daughter years ago.
Back then, Marnie thought he was just a poor lad. She looked down on him and disdained him in every way, even insisting on forcing the two to break up.
This major incident led to their daughter remaining unmarried for all these years and also caused an irreparable rift within the family.
Now, upon hearing that they were back together, Marnie was filled with a mix of emotions, the bitterness being too overwhelming to bear.
“Is that so? Well... That's good, really good.”
Gladeon understood her regret, as he was feeling the same way.
At that moment, he looked at the two of them and offered his sincere blessings.
“It's a wonderful thing that you two are getting married. Best wishes to you both...”
Noting the distant and formal tone, Adriana felt quite upset in her heart.
She had initially thought she would hear some unpleasant words, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.
It was hard for her to feel joy when the blessings from the two people she held most dear were given in such a cautious manner.
However, it was worth mentioning that the two elderlies had undergone significant changes after the incident with the black market.
After a long hesitation, Marnie unexpectedly apologized to the two of them.
“I was at fault in this matter. I was foolish and too stubborn, which led to a delay in your wonderful marriage and you two to be apart for so long. I understand it might be hard for you to forgive me, but as an elder, I still want to say this: I hope you will never forget the hardships you've endured along the way and that you'll cherish the good things that lie ahead. Now that you two have reunited and will live a happy life together, our souls can rest in peace after we pass on.”
As she spoke, her voice began to choke up while her eyes reddened and glistened with unshed tears.
“Adriana, you probably won't come back again after leaving this time, will you? I was the one who let you down in the past. I-If you don't want to be close to me, that's okay. Just hearing you call me 'mom' today is enough. I'm already very content.”
Adriana looked at her aged mother as she spoke these heartfelt words with teary eyes. A bitter feeling welled up inside her, and her eyes began to sting.
She never imagined that one day, she would receive an apology and blessings from her parents.
When all was said and done, blood was thicker than water. They were, after all, her parents.
Taking a deep breath, she candidly said, “I came back this time to put an end to everything related to Garcia Group, too.”
Next, she revealed everything that Alfonso and Roxanne had done in Essley.
This included the news of Alfonso's imprisonment and Roxanne's death.
