The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1517

On stage, Adriana smiled blissfully. Seeing her niece’s tears of joy, she felt a warmth in her heart. Without hesitation, she tossed the bouquet she was holding right into her niece’s hands.

“Be happy, Neera,” she said with a radiant smile, hoping to pass on this joy to her niece.

Neera held back her tears, nodding and saying okay.

The wedding bustled with activity all day, only coming to a complete end as the night approached. Despite her fatigue, Neera returned to her bedroom with a heart full of satisfaction.

She gazed out at the night scene through the window, her shoulders drooping, and began to smile in a daze.

Jean found her appearance somewhat amusing.

“Are you this happy?” he asked.

Neera nodded, beaming. “Of course. Making my aunt happy has always been my lifelong wish. Thankfully, the heavens did not let me down. They were kind and just. They blessed my aunt, allowing her and my uncle, these two lovers, to be together finally!”

Jean smiled faintly. “Adriana is a good woman. She deserves happiness.”

As he spoke, he was massaging Neera’s shoulders.

The two of them just sat by the window, gazing at the night scene outside, basking in the warmth of the room.

The next day, when Neera got out of bed, she discovered her aunt and uncle were already up. She couldn’t help but smile and ask, “Why didn’t you sleep a bit longer? Do you really need to get up early on such a beautiful day?”

Adriana joked with a smile, “Getting married is no excuse to stay in bed. Your uncle and I have to go out for a stroll every morning.”

Neera nodded slightly, extending one finger. “To live a healthy life is good. This way, you can live a hundred years longer.”

Adriana couldn’t help but laugh. “What do you mean by ‘live a hundred years longer?’ Do you think I’m some old demon?”

“Where can you find such a youthful and beautiful old demon? Even if you live another hundred years, you’ll always be eighteen!”

Neera chatted and laughed with her aunt, then she brought up the main topic. “When are you two going on your honeymoon?”

When asked, Adriana and Chad exchanged a glance, then they said, “We’ve decided not to go on a honeymoon.”

Neera was puzzled. “Why?”

Chad sighed and spoke truthfully. “Your aunt is worried about you. The situation in Phison is unstable right now, so we’ve decided not to go on our honeymoon. We want to stay by your side and take care of you. If anything happens, I’ll be able to help.”

Whenever the topic of Phison came up, a slight heaviness settled in Neera’s heart. She asked, “How are things over at Phison?”

She had wanted to ask that question two days ago. However, with the wedding just around the corner, she didn’t want to spoil the wonderful atmosphere, so she kept it to herself.

Since Chad had brought it up himself, she simply asked directly.

Chad told her honestly, “The current situation isn’t great. There’s trouble everywhere. Bartitsu Guild is determined to fight against the Cox family, suppressing some of the Cox family’s forces to the point where they can hardly raise their heads.”

Upon hearing that, Neera frowned. “It’s that serious? Bartitsu Guild, just how far are they planning to go? What are they trying to do? Could it be that they want to turn Phison into their own?”

Chad sneered, “I’m afraid that’s exactly what they’re thinking. Bartitsu Guild and Lordsworth Estate have been fighting for so long, and it’s all about who will dominate Phison. Their ambitions are certainly grand, but let’s see if they can actually swallow what they’re trying to bite off!”

“What about the Cox family? What’s their current situation?” Neera asked.

“The Cox family now has no choice but to intervene. They had just arrived in Phison not long ago, a time when they should be consolidating their foundation. With all this commotion, the Cox family is now unable to handle both sides. Although they can resist, they may still be a notch below the momentum and ruthlessness of Bartitsu Guild. Moreover, it seems that there are some issues within the Cox family itself.”

That situation did not surprise Neera. After all, the Cox family was isolated and weak. It would indeed be difficult for them to contend with the entire Bartitsu Guild.

Not to mention, the forces of the Cox family were still on the side of Bartitsu Guild.

Even if Lordsworth Estate had the intention to help and wanted to intervene, they couldn’t reach into the affairs of Bartitsu Guild.

If things continued down that trend, it would inevitably lead to a direct conflict.

Lordsworth Estate had its own considerations too. It wasn’t time for them to drop all pretense of cordiality with Bartitsu Guild yet.

After a moment of contemplation, she made up her mind immediately. She lifted her gaze to Adriana and Chad, her eyes firm and bright. “There’s no need for you two to worry about the matters of Phison. Go on your honeymoon. You only get married once in a lifetime, and there’s only one honeymoon. I’ve already arranged everything for you. The itinerary for a world tour has been set. All you need to do is follow the route I’ve planned and live the life you’ve always wanted. Don’t concern yourselves with the chaos. I’ll handle everything in Phison. You can rest assured.”

They didn’t expect her to say that. Both Adriana and Chad were taken aback.

Adriana was clearly unable to let go of her worries. She held Neera’s hand, stroking it over and over again. “Please, don’t try to be strong all by yourself. Let us stay by your side. We don’t know what the future holds. We worry about you being alone over there, enduring hardships and encountering troubles. What would we do then?”

Neera held her aunt’s hand in return, smiling gently. “There’s nothing to worry about. I have Jean by my side. Shane is also here, as well as the many people from the Gordon family. Even Lordsworth Estate

has people who will help me. I won’t be left alone and helpless. I just don’t want you to get involved in these disputes again. You and Uncle Chad have finally come back together after so much difficulty. This is a blessing from heaven. You must cherish this opportunity. Since you two have gotten married, live your lives well. Aunt Adriana, didn’t you always tell me that you wanted to travel the world once you retired? Now that you don’t need to worry about the company anymore, you can comfortably go with Uncle Chad. I will keep you updated regularly. If you don’t go, I will never be at peace for the rest of my life”

Seeing her so determined, Adriana and Chad knew they couldn’t persuade her otherwise, so they could only agree with a smile in the end.

“All right, since you’ve arranged everything for us, we will go. Remember, you must keep in touch with us at all times, let us know you’re safe, and keep us updated about your situation. Don’t just share the good news and hide the bad. No matter what happens, you must tell us. If there’s something you can’t handle, let your uncle help you, okay?” reminded Adriana.

Neera smiled and nodded in agreement.

Afterward, she told the Park family about her plans to return to Phison. “Everyone, you all can go back now. I -entrust the triplets to you. Aunt Nadine, Uncle Edward, I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but please take extra care of

them for me.”

Upon hearing that, Nadine furrowed her brows. “What nonsense are you talking about? There’s no doubt that I can take care of your child, but we’re worried about you going to Phison.”

Mariah nodded incessantly. “Absolutely. How could we possibly let you handle such a big matter alone? We want to go with you. No matter what happens, we should face it as a family.”

She was afraid and didn’t want to go through the pain of loss again.

Neera reassured, “Don’t worry about me. There will be someone looking out for me over there. It’s dangerous there, and if you go, I’ll be distracted worrying about you. I need to ensure your safety. Only when you’re safe and sound can I truly be at ease.”

Seeing that she had made up her mind, the Park family ultimately had no choice but to agree. They repeatedly urged her to be mindful of her own safety and to take good care of herself.

Neera reassured them one by one.
