Chapter 265 - Ch. 265 The Anniversary Present



As soon as Britney came back into the house after a walk with Roxy, everyone was amazed at the endless joy on the middle-aged woman\'s face.

Her beaming in delight showed as if she had just won a lottery. Well, they had a lot of money in the bank, so of course, Britney wouldn\'t be this happy even if she won the lottery. Not while the lottery prize money came from their bank.

They couldn\'t help but wonder what had happened in the backyard while Britney was talking to Roxy.

"Is something good happened in the backyard? Why do you look blooming?" Bossley Zouch couldn\'t contain his curiosity and asked his wife.

"You wouldn\'t believe what happened. Our daughter, she…" alas, Britney couldn\'t continue her words because Roxy had come and called her in a loud, cheerful voice.

"Mother, father. I have something for you."

Everyone frowned in confusion with the \'something\' that Roxy brought, but one had no idea what Roxy would give her parents.

Britney was suspicious of what her daughter wanted to give. She knew her eldest daughter had so many talents that everyone who saw her would be envious.

And she knew one of the talents Roxy was most proud of was her drawing skill. Whenever Roxy relaxed, or no matter where she was, as long as she had a sketchbook and a pencil, Roxy would draw something.

But the girl never drew anything on a large scale. Plus, it had been a long time since Roxy had touched her sketchbook since she created \'Kaylee\' to replace her.

Even though sometimes Roxy would show up and draw something on her sketchbook, the drawing never the complicated ones.

With enthusiasm and emotion, Britney waited for her daughter to show her work in front of all.

"Are you ready?" Roxy asked in a highly excited tone and rotated the much bigger frame so everyone could see what was behind the frame-block she was carrying.

Instantly everyone gasped and was awe-stricken at what they saw.

They saw a husband and wife sitting relaxing on the beach while their two young children built a sandcastle. The four of them were filled with happy laughter while watching the sunset view.

The drawing was colorless and only filled with black and white. Nevertheless, it was breathtaking, as if they could see the people in the portrait were alive. It was as if they could see the colors even though it was otherwise.

And above it all, the four people in the portrait were none other than Bossley Zouch and his family. It even had two little girls!

Could it be?

"Darling girl did you… did you…" Bossley didn\'t dare hope, but his eyes were red from trying to hold back the tears of emotion.

Roxy grinned widely and let Declan help her bring the frame-block for her. She walked over to her father while Anna wiped her tears because this unexpected incident touched her heart.

"It\'s me, papa. I\'m back."

Bossley turned to his wife and wondered the cause of his wife was overjoyed because their daughter had returned.

Britney nodded her head a few times quickly while smiling happily. The father turned back to his daughter as he raised both hands to cup her face.

"Roxy? Is it really you?"

Roxy giggled and nodded once. "Yes, it\'s really me, papa."

"Roxy, oh my Roxy." Bossley hugged his eldest daughter tightly while kissing the top of her head repeatedly.

Bossley glanced at Declan gratefully, and his mouth moved to form a \'thank you\' to the young man.

Declan smiled gently and gave the older man a nod of respect.

"Papa, I can\'t breathe…." complained Roxy as her father embraced her too tightly.

Bossly immediately loosened his embrace, and they all laughed with joy because finally, the long-awaited eldest daughter had returned.

Roxy walked back to retrieve the frame-block containing her family and handed it over to her parents.

"This is for you. I poured my heart on this drawing."

They knew that Roxy poured her heart into her masterpiece. They could feel it and felt touched by it.

"It\'s beautiful. I love it, darling."

"We… love it." corrected Bossly invites laughter from his wife and daughter. "Tell me you will not leave without a word again."

"I won\'t, papa. I promise," ensured Roxy with clear eyes as for the first time since the plane crash; her heart could see the sun. "I learned my mistake, and I won\'t do it again."

"I know you won\'t. Now, who\'s hungry?"

Everyone agreed to head to the dining hall, and they all enjoyed a delicious meal while chatting. For the first time, Pierre and Anna listened to the story behind the arranged marriage between \'Kaylee\' and Declan Black. They never expected that Declan was the key to bringing Roxy back.

"I never expected that you guys had met before. Love is truly something, isn\'t it?" Anna looked at her niece tenderly and joyfully.

"I doubt that. So, you\'re the guy who kidnapped my niece at her first week in Spain."

Declan almost choked on his drink when he heard Pierre Zouch\'s sarcastic question.

"Well, I can\'t say that I was grateful that you guys met each other back then, but I\'m grateful you found each other."

"Uncle Pierre. You are the best." praised Roxy while raising her two thumbs toward her only uncle.

"Talking about finding each other…" added Anna suddenly. "Robert, do you have anyone you fancy?"

Robert almost spurted his tea when he heard his aunt ask him. On the other hand, Declan stifled an amused laugh seeing Robert\'s startled expression.

"Why me?"

"You almost forty, and you haven\'t settled down. Even Roxy is about getting married. How old are you now, Declan? You don\'t mind if I call your name, right?"

"No. Declan is fine. And I\'m thirty-three."

"See?" inquired Anna toward Robert.

"How about you, Declan? When are you guys getting married?" Robert shifted the topic right away to avoid his aunt\'s question.

"I\'ve spoken to both my parents, and we are ready to have a wedding ceremony whenever you are ready."

"Is that true? How about next summer?"

And this time, Roxy spurted her drink upon hearing her father\'s suggestion on the wedding date.
