After watching the children enter the kindergarten, Roxanne turned to Lucian with mixed emotions and started, “The boys told me that it was you who sent me home last night.”

Lucian nodded noncommittally. He averted his gaze from her and looked to the side as if nothing had happened.

In truth, he couldn’t help recalling the scene from the night before at the sight of her face.

Roxanne trailed his gaze, only to see his car that was parked by the roadside.

Thinking that he was in a hurry to leave, she decided to get straight to the point. “Can you tell me how we ran into each other last night?”

Lucian’s face turned cold when Roxanne mentioned their encounter. “We happened to run into each other in the hotel elevator.”

Even though he didn’t describe how he had wrestled her away from Jack’s arms, Roxanne had no trouble imagining it.

Given his temper, he must’ve been infuriated to see me together with Jack. It goes without saying that something unpleasant must have happened between them.

    Lucian, however, furrowed his brows tightly upon listening to his best friend’s words. Faced with Lucian’s lack of response, Jonathan urged anxiously, “Our project is about to get up to speed, and Herbscape Group is an extremely important piece. If we can’t acquire them, we’ll have no choice but to back out and wait for the next opportunity.”That was Jonathan’s attempt at questioning Lucian. It was one thing for Queen Group to give up, but Farwell Group had never backed out of anything before.Given their status in Horington, Farwell Group had always gotten their way regardless of the situation. Plenty of companies clamored to collaborate with them.Unexpectedly, with a brazenness that came out of nowhere, not only did Herbscape Group dare to bargain with Farwell Group, but they even canceled the contract at the very last stage.If it was any other company, Lucian would have already taught them a painful lesson.However, Lucian didn’t react at all this time. He seemed to have prepar

    After giving it much thought, Jonathan came to a brazen conclusion. “What you have done so far isn’t enough.” Lucian cocked a brow. “I only followed what you said.”Jonathan was rendered speechless by the snarky response. He was filled with the urge to remind Lucian who it was who needed help.However, when he recalled that Lucian’s demeanor would inherently make him bad at courtship, he decided to shoulder the blame.“That’s because the methods I shared with you weren’t enough,” he said in resignation.“What else can I do?” Lucian looked at him in puzzlement.Roxanne’s attitude in the morning made him feel uneasy. He wanted to improve the dynamics of their relationship as soon as possible.Scratching his nose, Jonathan suggested, “You know, women like romantic stuff. You can consider doing something romantic that will move her.”Something romantic?Lucian thought back to the recent interactions he had with Roxanne.Come to think of it, I don’t remember doing anything romantic. I mig

    Frieda was already annoyed. The lecture she had just received from Jonathan made her expression contort even more. “I think you’re the one who’s doing stupid things!”With that, she looked daggers at Jonathan before turning around to leave the office in a huff.So my own brother has turned against me, eh?

    Roxanne remained oblivious to what Aubree was plotting. Estella, on the other hand, desperately wished for Roxanne to accept her father’s affection for her.For several days, Estella would pester Catalina to teach her how to bake a cake when she returned from school.Catalina naturally wanted to know where the interest came from. However, the little girl refused to explain, and instead, she would respond with a shy smile each time.Catalina’s heart melted when she looked at Estella’s expression, so she decided to fulfill the girl’s request.She had thought that Estella was just learning how to bake for fun.After all, Estella was so small that she could not even reach the countertop. She needed to use a stool, which made the activity quite inconvenient.However, to her surprise, Estella had learned how to bake quite decently in just a few days.Early in the morning, when the weekend approached, Estella waited for Lucian at his bedroom door.“Daddy!”Lucian had just opened the door wh

    After hearing what the kids had to say, Roxanne could not help but hesitate. Baking with the children meant that she could not avoid interacting with Lucian.But…Roxanne looked at Lucian, who was seated across from her at the table. His expression seemed to be quite indifferent as if he did not really mind.Seeing how bland his expression is now, I think it would be strange if I react too strongly or kick up a fuss.After some deliberation, Roxanne smiled at the kids and said, “All right then!”Seeing that Roxanne was on board, the kids looked expectantly at Lucian.Lucian also nodded wordlessly.The children then let out triumphant cheers. “Yay! Let’s all bake together!”In their haste and excitement, the children barely finished their breakfast. They took another two cursory bites before eagerly jumping off their chairs and looking at both adults.Although Roxanne had agreed, she still felt awkward at the prospect of being in such close contact with Lucian. Subconsciously, she fel

    After that, the children then looked at Lucian distressedly, hoping he could say something on their behalf too. Roxanne noticed who the children were looking at, and her gaze lingered briefly on Lucian. Seeing that the man had no intention to speak, she felt something strange welling in her heart.“I’ve already agreed on a time with Mr. Damaris. I cannot be late.” Roxanne then dipped her head to look at her children, her tone sounding contrite.The children knew there was nothing else they could do to dissuade Roxanne when they saw how adamant she was about going. Their faces were filled with disappointment.Roxanne felt sorry for the children as she took note of their crestfallen expressions, but she knew she could not do much. She merely patted their heads and said, “When it’s done, just leave some for me so that I can taste your handiwork.”Subsequently, Roxanne turned around to leave.She barely took two steps when she heard the man’s voice.“Since you need to go, Ms. Jarvis, may

    For a moment, Roxanne did not know how to respond to Estella’s declaration of love. I mean, I like Essie too, but I have never entertained the thoughts of becoming her mother.After all, she has her own biological mother. If anything, children would probably prefer their biological parents more…A good example will be Archie and Benny. Although they don’t know the truth of their births yet, their attitude toward Lucian is clearly different from the rest.“You can’t?” Having received no answer from Roxanne, Estella lowered her eyes in disappointment and despair.Roxanne’s heart ached when she saw the girl’s disappointment, but there was nothing she could do besides giving her a merciless rejection. Patiently, she explained to the girl, “Essie, you’ll have your own mommy, and once you have your mommy, you’ll find out that liking mommy and liking me don’t feel the same.”Estella tightened her fists stubbornly and looked at Roxanne with tearful eyes. “I only like Ms. Jarvis!”“You won’t—

    Estella nodded obediently upon hearing her father’s words. Lucian lifted Estella into his arms before returning to Roxanne’s place. Just as they reached the entrance, they saw Roxanne’s car reaching the gates of the residential area. Lucian could recognize Roxanne’s car right away, and the moment he did, the temperature around him dropped. Essie was sobbing so badly because of her, but the only thing on her mind is her appointment with Jack. Is work that important to her? In the living room, Archie and Benny were about to open the door to look for Estella after the long wait. To their surprise, right as they opened the door, they were greeted by the sight of their grim father with Estella in his arms. Estella peeked into the living room when the door opened, but she saw no traces of Roxanne around. “Where’s Ms. Jarvis?” Estella asked, her eyes still red. “Is Ms. Jarvis not back yet because she’s out looking for me?” After that, she patted her father’s shoulder and said anxious

    “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! Don’t make me repeat myself!”The man chuckled amusedly at her angry look and actually began to walk out.Soon enough, Aubree was left alone in the hotel roomShe began to look around her, trying to recall what had happened last night.No matter how much she tried to make sense of her surroundings, she just couldn’t remember what happened.She had a*sumed that someone had been hired to a*sault her.However, that man didn’t look like someone who could be hired.

    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! Who’d have thought Mr. Bauer would launch an investigation as soon as he returned? Gosh. I almost blew my cover! Then again, this must mean that little b*stard’s injury was pretty bad…With that thought in mind, Ophelia curled her lips into a smirk.That b*tch Roxanne has ruined my chances of a happy and comfortable life!
