Bab 182: For Nothing

Roxanne stood still, pondering over what answer she should give to him. She had missed him of course, in all these years and had also felt gratitude that he'd been Adelaide's guardian all these years.

Right now, seeing Rochester standing before her had begun to make her relive so many emotions and memories...

She'd missed her brother so very much, but she also never forgot how unforgiving he could be.

For a lifetime, he would probably never forgive her for her atrocity of leaving Adelaide alone. Her involvement with his worker had also broken his heart.

Being as prejudiced as he was back then, Rochester wanted her to marry right which meant she was to marry into a rich and responsible household. Neither of which she'd done but had instead cultivated a blooming relationship with a certain worker of his, one whose brown eyes she could never resist— Bernard Clarke.
