As Joseph noticed Lucian getting nearer to them, he glanced at his friends who were standing not far away. Joseph steeled himself and stood in front of Lucian. “Do you know this woman?”Lucian slowly came to a stop as his gaze emotionlessly swept over the man in front of him before returning to Roxanne’s face.The woman in question had cast her gaze downward, and her lips were pursed. She did not seem to want his help at all.Noticing her reaction, Lucian felt like he was being mocked.Even at this stage was Roxanne still trying to avoid him.Since that was her wish, Lucian would grant it.Upon thinking of that, Lucian looked away. “I don’t know her.”Joseph inwardly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard those words.The man on the floor scrambled to get up. He pointed at Lucian’s back and exclaimed, “Why did you kick me?” His voice was full of anger.Lucian only shot him a cold look.The man on the floor suddenly felt a chill run up his spine. He zipped his mouth sheepishly.It was a

In the car opposite the main road, the driver noticed the sudden change in atmosphere. His palms started sweating as the air surrounding them seemed to have dropped by a few degrees.It was after a long time that Lucian stopped looking at the entrance to the hotel. “Let’s go back,” he ordered in a cold voice.The driver acknowledged his instructions and started the engine, driving toward the hotel that Lucian was staying at.Roxanne had no idea that Lucian had seen her. She opened the door to the pa*senger seat and got into Larry’s car.The moment she entered the car, she politely took off Larry’s coat and placed it in the backseat.After getting the address to her hotel, Larry revved up the engine.Both of them remained silent for the entire journey. Roxanne looked out the window to stare at the scenery outside and soon fell into deep thought.She couldn’t understand Lucian’s attitude earlier at all.“You just left like that. What about Mr. Farwell?” Larry suddenly asked.Roxanne onl

Roxanne remained seated in her seat, watching as the man left the plane. It was a while before she slowly stood up.Just as she did, a wave of nausea hit her. It seemed to be a physical reaction after stress.Roxanne grabbed the seat in front of her to stabilize herself. Once she regained her balance, she carefully got off the plane.As she walked to the immigration gate, her entire body ached uncomfortably while her stomach lurched painfully.Upon getting inside the airport, she made a beeline to the nearest restroom.“Jeez!” A voice laced with annoyance rang out. A pa*serby was walking with their luggage when Roxanne accidentally bumped into him.Roxanne tried her best to suppress the discomfort she was feeling and hastily bowed to the man to apologize. She continued to run toward the restroom with a hand covering her mouth.Not far away, Lucian heard the commotion behind him. He instinctively turned around to see what was going on and managed to catch sight of Roxanne dashing into

Although Roxanne had repeated multiple times that she felt fine, Madilyn could not feel at ease, and hence, she examined her body thoroughly.In the end, she concluded that Roxanne had mild post-traumatic stress. With sufficient rest, she would surely recover.Roxanne did not want the kids to speculate, so she went downstairs after getting a short rest.Right then, Lysa was serving dinner. She was about to head upstairs and check if Roxanne wanted to join them, only to realize that Roxanne was already up.“How are you feeling? Can you eat these? Otherwise, I can make you some soup.” Lysa was very concerned.Roxanne’s face was no longer as pale as before. She shook her head and replied, “Don’t trouble yourself. I don’t have much appetite, anyway. I can eat anything that’s already been prepared.”With that, she took her seat at the dining table.Archie and Benny, who were in the living room, dashed over to surround Roxanne the moment they heard her voice.As their gazes met, Roxanne ruf

After finishing breakfast with mixed feelings, Roxanne led Estella out of the dining room.She had barely stepped out when she noticed the prevailing tension in the living room.The brothers were kneeling on the couch with stern looks on their faces, keeping a close eye on Lucian who was standing at the side as if he had gravely offended them.When she saw the boys’ expressions, Roxanne couldn’t help frowning.She had a*sumed that they resented Lucian because of her.However, she recalled that they had been fine with him the very first time all of them met.As of then, her only goal was to stay away from Lucian, but the brothers seemed to be holding a grudge against him.No matter how hard she tried, Roxanne couldn’t figure out the reason why.When the brothers saw Roxanne leading Estella out, they shifted their gazes away from Lucian and welcomed the two with vibrant smiles. “Mommy!”Setting her thoughts aside, Roxanne reciprocated with a grin of her own.Archie and Benny gave Estell
