The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1099 You Are Really Not Pulling Your Weight

The three little ones could not do anything since the man had put it that way.

That evening, Neera didn’t eat much and spoke very little.

Everyone could tell that she was in a bad mood, and they could all guess that it had something to do with Jean’s continuous absence.

No one mentioned this matter for fear of upsetting her. Instead, they tried various ways to cheer her up by talking about happy things.

Despite her lack of enthusiasm, Neera managed to muster up some energy to chat for a while before heading upstairs to her room.

Elmer slammed the table in frustration, visibly annoyed.

“That punk Jean, saying he had to marry Neera and that he only loved Neera… It’s been so many days, and he still isn’t here yet. What on earth does he mean by this?”

Nadine made a “shush” gesture, pointing upstairs.

“Dad, please lower your voice. If Neera hears you, it will upset her.”

Elmer scowled and huffed, “Will she stop feeling hurt just because she doesn’t hear me? Look at that girl’s face. You can tell how disappointed she is! These past few days, she must have been waiting day and night for that punk to come, but until now, there’s no sign of him! That jerk, just as I thought, he was all talk and had no heart!”

Nadine sighed, feeling anxious in her heart yet unable to offer any help.

That night, just as Neera had just laid down, she received a message from Jean: I’m sorry. Due to some matters, I have to delay my departure from the country for a few more days. I won’t be able to attend your aunt’s birthday banquet. Once I’ve sorted everything out, I’ll come to see you.

Neera read these few short sentences over and over again, feeling inexplicably upset.
