The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

From beginning to end, her tone was very calm, completely devoid of any emotional undertones. It was as if she were telling someone else’s story.

But as her words fell, Wrenn’s face was already covered in tears.

While Neera spoke, she kept her eyes downcast, her fingers idly caressing the rim of the cup. Now, she looked up

There was a hint of helplessness in her tone.

She pulled out a piece of tissue paper and handed it to Wrenn. “It’s all in the past now. For me, those things have become an insignificant past.”

Wrenn was crying so hard that her eyes became red and swollen.

She took the piece of tissue, wiping away the tear stains on her face. Yet, her tears fell even more fiercely, leaving her unable to utter a single word for quite some time.

After a long pause, she was still crying, her voice filled with sobs. Suddenly, she said, “Neera, if only I had known about your past, I would never have treated you that way, no matter what…”

To Neera’s surprise, Wrenn’s first words were actually these, leaving her slightly stunned.

And the words that followed caused a slight change in her expression.

“Neera, you were so young, and life was so tough for you. Those years must have been very hard, weren’t they…”

Neera was taken aback once again.

When Adriana came to take her away years ago, the first thing she said upon meeting Neera was the
