Chapter 171
Feeling the clear rejection on Anya’s face, Roseanne’s heart sank, and her expression stiffened a bit.
Normally, she would not refuse a friendly hand that others extended, but Anya wasn’t about to be nice to Roseanne, considering her intentions to become a mistress and potentially use the Galloway family for her own family’s benefit.
“Missed me that much, huh?” Anya raised an eyebrow, her expression a mix of amusement and disdain.
“Y–yeah.” Although Ayna didn’t have a straight face toward her, the half–smile on her face made Roseanne feel inexplicably uneasy.
“Then why didn’t you come back to visit in the past three years? Not even a phone call. What’s the matter? Did you move to some remote place with no signal, or are you so broke overseas that you can’t afford a plane ticket back?” said Anya.
Everyone was taken aback for a moment. Roseanne’s already strained smile froze completely.
She hadn’t expected Anya to be so blunt, just like Julian, showing no warmth for her return after so long and instead making her feel embarrassed.
“Anya, I know it was wrong of me. You know how it was when we first moved there. We were in a completely unfamiliar place and had a tough time.
“It’s only recently that things have stabilized, and I thought I’d come back as soon as possible to see all of you and have a proper reunion,” explained Roseanne.
