Benny nodded his head vigorously. “Archie and I will be obedient boys from now on. Mommy, please don‘t overwork yourself, okay?”

With a sullen expression, Archie said nothing. Yet, one could tell that he concurred with his brother on this matter.

Roxanne chuckled before replying, “Sure, I‘ll take good care of myself.”

Lysa placed a thermal lunch box on the bedside table and said, “Have you had breakfast? I brought some for you both. Hurry up and eat it while it‘s still hot.”

Then, she proceeded to take out two bowls to serve them soup and some side dishes.

In response, Roxanne nodded. “Thank you so much.”

Seeing that Lysa had already prepared the food for him, Lucian could not bring himself to decline her kind gesture even though he had no appetite to eat.

Simultaneously, the two of them reached for the bowls, which had been placed side by side. Their fingers then accidentally brushed against each other.

Roxanne froze, and she subconsciously looked up at the man, who was coincidentall

    It was not even eight o‘clock when they came out of the hospital.Roxanne stretched her stiff body lazily. She was so glad to be breathing some fresh air again after being confined to bed for one day and two nights.Archie and Benny trailed closely behind her just in case anything else happened to their mother.“Ms. Jarvis, why don‘t you head home first to get some rest? Maybe just take the morning off?” Lysa tried her utmost to convince Roxanne not to dive into work right away.The latter grinned and assured her, “I‘m perfectly fine, so don‘t worry about me. After the surgery I did the day before yesterday, I rushed to the kindergarten in my sweaty clothes because I didn‘t have the time to get changed. Most likely, I caught a cold then, which developed into a fever. I promise to be more careful next time.”Subsequently, she bent down and tousled the children‘s hair. “I need to finish up my work at the research institute. Can Ms. Lane take you to your kindergarten today? I‘ll inform M

Consequently, his tone wasn’t all that amicable. either.Upon hearing that, Roxanne pursed her lips. A moment later, she flashed him a polite smile and stepped forward, saying, “The research institute is just around the corner, so I‘ll walk there.”Suppressing the chagrin within him, Lucian replied coolly, “If Essie were to learn that I had you walk over, she‘d throw a fit at me when she returns.”At that, Roxanne was startled.As long as neither of us speaks of it, how would she learn about it?Nonetheless, seeing as the man seemingly wouldn‘t leave unless she got into the car, she still climbed into the back seat after a moment‘s hesitation.That afternoon, Aubree found her employees looking strangely at her when she was doing the rounds at the office.One of the female employees who are closer to her came over and teased, “Ms. Pearson.

    “Who was the woman in the photo?” Gina asked with a frown.Auhree‘s chest heaved violently. She swept an icy gaze over the phone screen without saying a single word.Receiving no response after a long time, Gina pressed, “Who was that woman? Was it that won with the last name Jarvis?”Other than Roxanne, she couldn‘t think of anyone else.At the mention of Roxanne, Aubree replied through gritted teeth, “It was that b*tch all right!”Never mind that she embarrassed me during the banquet back then, but my impending marriage with Lucian is already public knowledge now, yet she‘s still clinging on to him shamelessly! Fortunately, the photos taken by the media are blurry, and not many can tell that it wasn‘t me. Otherwise, I‘d be a laughingstock again!At that thought, her face flushed bright red with fury. Her hands hanging by her sides balled into fists, her nails embedding into her palms.Although Gina had long since harbored that guess, her expression still turned as dark as night when

    “Where are you going? I’ll give you a ride. I don’t have anything to do tonight anyway, and it isn’t easy to get a taxi here.” Colby’s smile was warm and gentle.Roxanne hesitated for a second.

She was full of anticipation as she fantasized about what it would be like if Roxanne became her mother.During dinner, she couldn’t help but ask, “Daddy, are you going to marry Ms. Jarvis?”She then gazed at him expectantly.Ever since Estella came back, she only said a few words every time although she spoke quite a lot with him. That was the first time that she said such a long sentence to him.Lucian was taken aback before he realized what Estella was asking. As he thought about Estella’s attitude toward Roxanne, he was curious and asked, “Do you like her?”As expected, Estella nodded.I like Ms. Jarvis the most!When he saw the joy on Estella’s face the moment she mentioned Roxanne, Lucian frowned slightly. “What do you like

    Six years ago, Lucian himself had said that the only woman he intended to marry was Aubree.Roxanne still remembered that very clearly.“Six years ago, you came in between Lucian and me. We missed out on so much time together because of you.”Aubree’s face tensed. “Now, everyone in Horington knows about the engagement between Lucian and me. Since you know about it, I hope you take better care of your reputation and stay away from him. Six years ago, you were the other woman. I hope you don’t repeat that mistake. We are both women, but I feel ashamed for you!”Roxanne frowned. “Instead of spending your time criticizing me, why don’t you use that time on Mr. Farwell?”Six years ago, it was her ignorance that made her fall for Lucian.However, Lucian was the one who kept trying to get closer to her at the moment.Seeing that she was still in denial, Aubree’s tone lowered. “I am here to warn you out of kindness.

    “Fiancée?” Kai shot back a question with a meaningful look. “Which fiancée are you talking about? During your absence, a lot of things have happened in Mr. Farwell’s life!” Shawn’s heart sank slightly when he heard that. “What do you mean? Isn’t Aubree Pearson his fiancée?”Kai laughed out loud when he heard that. “That was eight hundred years ago! Back then, I noticed that Lucian had been treating Aubree with indifference. I found it strange that the Farwell and Pearson families have managed to hold on to the engagement for many years.”Shawn did not respond. Instead, he continued to listen to his friend’s rambling.“The Farwell family called off the engagement two years ago. Lucian even implied that Aubree has a poor character. It turns out that his ex-wife is back in the country with two children. Right now, the Pearson family is being made bankrupt by the Farwell family, and Lucian is getting it on with his ex-wife again!”Kai was very animated when he was gossiping. It was as if

    “I would say I’m pretty easy on the eyes. Getting to sleep with me isn’t that much of a loss for you.” He tucked a finger under her chin and lifted it so that she was looking right at him. “You truly are a delicacy. I hope you won’t forget me anytime soon.” As he spoke, his hand began to slide down Aubree’s neck, and he started to bend down until he was hovering right over her.She snapped back to her senses and pushed his hand away with a scowl on her face. “Get out!

    Cory’s face was clouded over with disdain. “Obviously, I’m taking a picture of my lovely ex-boss. Aubree was the one who made me who I am today. How can I possibly forgive her so easily?” As he spoke, an ominous aura radiated from him as if he were a devil from hell. There was an imminent chill in the air that seemed to come from his sheer hatred toward Aubree.Frieda couldn’t help but shudder at his demeanor.“Have you gone insane? The Pearson family is already in ruins. How are you still not satisfied yet?”Cory snickered. “I won’t be satisfied until she truly gets what she deserves. Besides, she did this to herself!”He narrowed his eyes and began scrutinizing the people in front of him.“You don’t have to play pretend around me, Ms. Queen. Don’t you want to shut her up for good too? In fact, you’re probably still getting threatened by her, right?”Frieda’s eyelids quivered as she forced herself to look away. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”She might have done her best t

    Meanwhile, Ophelia stepped out of the kindergarten with a grim expression. Thank goodness I handled the matter fast enough!
