The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 977
One died, one went mad, and another ended up in jail.
Upon hearing that news, the two elders were utterly stunned, unable to utter a word for quite some time.
No matter how absurd Alfonso might be or how unbearable Roxanne was, they were, after all, their son and granddaughter.
They were blood relatives.
Now, they had ended up in such a predicament in a foreign land. They couldn't help but feel sorrow welling up from within as if they had aged significantly instantly.
Adriana looked at her sobbing mother and her dazed father, feeling a pang in her heart.
After some consideration, she let go of the last bit of resentment in her heart and took the initiative to make a suggestion. “If you're willing, you can come live with me at Essley. I will provide you with a place to stay there, take care of your meals and daily needs, and ensure you live out your twilight years in comfort.”
Garcia Group had fallen, and it was likely that Alfonso would never be released in his lifetime.
They didn't have much holding them back here, so it wouldn't be out of the question to follow her and leave.
However, the two elders hesitated.
If it were in the past, they would have wished nothing more than to follow her, bask in her glory, and enjoy the good life.
But now, with such a significant change, their state of mind was no longer the same as before.
Gladeon waved his hand, smiling kindly, but his smile was tinged with fatigue. “Adriana, we know you're a good child and our precious daughter. We regret not appreciating you before and hurting your feelings. Your mother and I have no regrets in this life since you're willing to make this suggestion. However, we're getting old, and we don't want to go through all the trouble again. Moving to Essley would mean adapting to a new way of life, and we might not be able to fit in. It's better to stay here. This place is quite nice. Your mother and I have gotten to know many down-to-earth neighbors around here. When we have some free time, we chat with them and play some chess. If we have the energy, we even grow our own vegetables. We find this kind of life very enjoyable.”
The old lady responded in a gentle voice, “Indeed. You don't need to worry about us. Just focus on living your own life well. Also, about Neera...”
Speaking of Neera, a hint of shame appeared on Marnie's face, her eyes filled with remorse and regret.
“The Garcia family had wronged her. Given her temperament, she probably doesn't want to see us again. Let's not add to her troubles. It's best if we all just live our own lives well.”
Adriana could tell that the elders had made up their minds, so she didn't say anything more.
She remained silent, which made the two elders feel somewhat uneasy.
The old lady, having missed them for so long, was afraid they might leave right away. Full of anticipation, she asked cautiously yet eagerly, “Adriana, a-are you all leaving soon?”
Adriana saw the reluctance in Marnie's eyes and the anticipation on Gladeon's face, and finally, she showed them a long-lost smile.
“No way. It's rare for me to come back, so I must spend some quality time with you.” As she spoke, she took the initiative to sit next to Marnie, gently holding her arm, just like how she followed her mother around when she was a child.
The old lady hadn't experienced such closeness for a long time.
She was taken aback for a moment. When she regained her senses, her eyes suddenly reddened, and large tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Adriana lifted her hand to wipe her tears. “Stop crying. I want to eat the dishes you make. Please prepare a good meal for me today.”
“All right. Sure.” The old lady cried tears of joy, nodding her head repeatedly.
Soon, the two elders got up and went to the kitchen to prepare, their hearts filled with unprecedented joy.
Adriana watched that scene, somewhat dazed.
She couldn't remember the last time she had been this close to her parents.
Sensing her mood, Chad stepped forward and gently embraced her, his voice incredibly tender. “If you feel like crying, just let it out. Don't worry. They won't see.”
Adriana remained silent. After a moment, she raised her hand to wrap around his waist, crying silently. We could have been such a happy family. Why did it have to come to this...

What kind of stupid confusion is this, how come she didn't know that the my bourvart they are talking about is Jean?...
Author uses too many words to describe useless things and then don't clarify others, who is this aunts friend. Neere went to play golf with who?...
Why is she keeping so many secrets from Jean?...
is it too much to ask, when are they going to know that Jean is the father of her triplets???? the man that night 6yrs ago is Jean???!!!!!!...
Chapter 328, did Alfonso not meet Jeann before, how does he not recognise him huh...
I'm a bit confused, does Roxanna not know that her sister is married..this chapter makes it look like she doesn't know but they already went to Jean for money huh...
Too many words to explain somethings, it's a waste.......
Good Day Dear Author! i just want to ask, why it cant read in normal format? the sentences for every chapter is cut, almost half of the sentence is cut thats why cant read it as whole. Thankyou....
