The Enigmatic Return By Juliana. Spicy - Season 4 Episode 23

After twenty minutes. Neera reached Private Room No. 13 at the Phoenix Hotel.

The Garcia family members were already seated inside, awaiting her arrival.

Roxanne had been discharged from the hospital two days ago, and she was now in perfect health. Her pride swelled immensely as she had her grandparents‘ support.

Who told you to go crazy?

I’ll trample on you tonight!

Neera entered the room and quickly noticed Roxanne’s air of superiority. However, she ignored her viewing Roxanne as nothing more than a clown.

Directing her attention to the main seat, she saw the two elders. They appeared significantly aged since their last meeting, yet retained their vigor.

Their unwavering gaze met Neera’s as she approached, bearing a gift box in her hands.

“Grandpa and Grandma, it’s been a while. Despite the passage of time, your health remains remarkably resilient. Aunt Adriana would be delighted to hear that,” Neera greeted composedly. She placed the gift box on the round table.

“These supplements were specially chosen by Aunt Adriana for the two of you.”

Both of their eyes flickered toward the gift box, its contents brimming with valuable items like ginseng and bird’s nest.

“Thank you.”

The two elders nodded, their tone even and composed.

Despite their composed appearance, they had mixed emotions.

The eldest granddaughter, who had disappeared for numerous years, had crossed paths with them a few years ago. Back then, she seemed ordinary, her pretty face lacking the brilliance that would set her apart.

Never could they have predicted that she would reappear after several years, exuding an aura of distinctiveness and transformation. Her appearance was remarkably refined, her elegance and nobility

unmistakable.

She even bore a resemblance to her late mother’s demeanor…

However, Marnie had always harbored disdain for Neera’s biological mother, which consequently extended to

her.

At the moment, Marnie did not mask her displeasure and promptly picked at Neera’s demeanor.

“Your father and your stepmother, are here. It’s impolite not to greet them!”

Neera could not help but be amused.

What a family.

They had not shown her a hint of warmth toward her after years of separation and scolded her once she showed up.

It seemed like a pity that Neera did not play along with them. With a genuine smile, she replied straightforwardly, “I’m here just to visit the two of you. I’m not close to anyone else here, so there’s no need for formal greetings.‘

Marnie’s sparse eyebrows creased at the response.

Marnie’s expression also turned sour. “In these past years, you’ve been under your aunt’s care, and your temperament has taken after hers. Anyhow… Since you’re here, let’s sit down for a meal together and catch up with each other.”

Despite their initially frosty reception, Neera was inclined to grant them some courtesy. She nodded and took her seat.

Since she was here, she intended to hear what they had to say.

Shortly after, the ordered dishes were served and Neera remained silent.

Eventually, Gladeon initiated the conversation, “Your Aunt Adriana hasn’t returned in these past years. How is she doing abroad?”

Neera responded truthfully, “Aunt Adriana is doing well, but her work keeps her quite occupied, making it hard for her to come back. Nonetheless, she misses you greatly.”

Marnie huffed indignantly upon hearing this, her anger palpable. “If she misses us so much, why hasn’t she made an effort to come back? Does she even remember her parents?”

Feeling her appetite wane, Neera set down her chopsticks. “Certainly, she does. Otherwise, Aunt Adriana wouldn’t have entrusted me to visit the two of you. I believe you both have a better understanding of the reasons why she didn’t come back more than anyone else.”

In the past, her aunt resided in Kingsview and had a devoted fiancé. However, due to Marnie’s intervention, the marriage was cut off. Heartbroken and unsupported by her family, Adriana left on her own and remained single to this day.

In Neera’s estimation, Adriana bore some resentment towards the two elders for these past events, which had influenced her decision not to return to Kingsview. Nevertheless, despite her resentments, Adriana still harbored feelings for her parents and missed them deeply.

Neera aimed to strike a chord of guilt within the hearts of the two elders, effectively silencing them.

Recognizing the growing tension, Susan promptly interjected. “I don’t believe that’s the case! I think Adriana flourished overseas, causing her to distance herself from her relatives, right? Her company has experienced significant growth these years. Perhaps she wants to hide it from us!”
