CHAPTER 1947 FAR TOO MANY MISTAKES
The days after the wedding were uneventful and pleasant.
At the research institute, Peregrine had trained a cadre of capable protégés. With Linda managing everything well, Roxanne's workload grew lighter each day.
The three children had also found their own interests. They studied diligently every day and never got tired of it. Elias and Sonya took them out during weekends, which relieved her of a lot of worries.
Fortunately, her husband accompanied her every day. They would either go shopping and eat or visit the nearby leisure attractions. Their private time together was also very romantic.
Perhaps we are in the best possible state right now.
Roxanne was extremely contented. Every day, she felt as if her mood was soaring through the sky, and she found herself smiling without even realizing it.
That day, she was returning home after a shopping spree in the mall. Lucian had already informed her over the phone that he had made coffee at home and was waiting for her.
After having their coffee and waiting for the children to be picked up from school, they planned to go to a spa hotel as a family for a relaxing soak.
She arrived outside the manor and was just about to drive through the gate when she saw a familiar figure.
It was Grant, her father. He was looking around while carrying something.
For some reason, it stirred something in her heart.
She stopped the car beside him, opened the door, and got out.
Grant also noticed his daughter, and although he averted his gaze, he still approached her with the things he was carrying.
“Roxanne, I'm here just to see the three children. Here are some snacks and toys for them. See if you need them. If not, I'll take them back.” His entire body, including his voice, exuded a sense of inferiority, which immediately made Roxanne a little uncomfortable.
As far as she remembered, her father had always appeared fierce while cowardly at heart. His booming voice always came with a grumpy countenance.
However, after giving it some thought, Roxanne still could not help but reach out to receive those toys and snacks.
Even though her children did not have much need for those toys anymore and her husband would not let them have more snacks, she still wanted to take them as she felt that her father's demeanor was a little pitiful.
“You can't meet the kids right now because they are still in school. I'll take the stuff and let them know. Anything else?” Roxanne spoke in a flat tone as if she was talking to a stranger.
Naturally, she was also trying to figure out if Grant's pitiful look was his attempt to gain her sympathy.
From my understanding of him, someone like him probably only thinks about money all the time, right?
“Is that so? All right. I'll come back when I have a chance. I'm truly sorry, Roxanne. I've made far too many mistakes up until this point!” All of a sudden, Grant was a little choked up.
Roxanne looked up and was shocked to find his eyes turning red. His sorrowful expression gave the impression that he was regretting something.
However, she still could not bring herself to believe it. “These matters... I can't care about them, so you should just take better care of yourself,” she uttered indifferently.
Throughout her response, Grant's expression grew sadder when he realized that his daughter did not even want to call him Dad. “I get it, all of it. These are the retributions I achieve. Roxanne, I didn't come here to beg for your sympathy. I deserve all of this. I just want to see the children. Perhaps, someday, I can't hold on anymore. By the way, there's another thing I wish to tell you... Winnie and I are already divorced!”
After saying that, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a crumpled document with the words “Divorce Certificate” printed on it.
