But why have the flowers been sent here? And why does he need to receive them personally?“Please put them aside first. I’ll bring them up to Mr. Farwell in a while,” Cayden replied upon regaining his senses.Even though the receptionist acknowledged Cayden’s instructions, the deliveryman protested, “But our customer insists that I deliver it to Mr. Farwell personally.”“Don’t worry. I’m his a*sistant,” Cayden explained. “I’ll definitely hand them over to him.”The deliveryman hesitated briefly before leaving the flowers with the receptionist.When Cayden came back from lunch in the afternoon, he knocked on Lucian’s door with the flowers in hand.Having heard Lucian’s acknowledgment from inside, he entered the office and asked tactfully, “Mr. Farwell, these came in the afternoon with instructions that you receive them in person.”Lucian, engrossed in his work, only looked up when he heard Cayden’s words.At the sight of the bouquet of roses in the latter’s arms, Lucian’s expression dr

After watching the children enter the kindergarten, Lucian drove to the florist from before. “Mr. Farwell…”The florist couldn’t help but greet him upon learning his identity from the previous day’s events.Lucian nodded with a frown, guessing that the florist knew who he was when the flowers were returned.In response to his acknowledgment, the florist grew visibly nervous. “Is there anything else you need? What do you think of the flowers yesterday?”No sooner had the words rolled off her tongue than she remembered that the flowers were returned.Quickly realizing her faux pas, the anxious florist zipped her lips and wondered if Lucian had come to hold them accountable.At the mention of the flowers, Lucian threw the florist a grim look.Lowering her head fearfully, she didn’t dare utter another word.“From today onward, send the freshest flowers you have to that address every day. As to what kind of flowers, you have the liberty to decide,” Lucian barked out his instructions.Sinc

Roxanne sensed Archie and Benny’s suspicion. Concealing her unease, she calmly led the children to the couch. After Roxanne rested at home for a week, her leg injury had made a decent recovery, and she could already walk una*sisted.Nonetheless, Lysa and the children fussed over her condition and insisted she rest for a couple more days at home.As the three of them settled on the couch, the children’s attention remained on the rejected flowers, and they asked, “Mommy, why didn’t you accept the flowers?”Roxanne did not expect her children’s question and struggled to come up with a reply.Noticing her strange behavior, Archie asked, “The delivery man didn’t answer our question. What if he sent the flowers to the wrong house?”The words had barely left his mouth when Archie hopped off the couch, shooting his mother a final glance before declaring, “I’ll go check with the delivery man. What if he really sent the flowers to the wrong house?”With that said, he actually began walking tow

Before Roxanne could say anything, the man continued, “Besides, you did send the flowers back to my office, didn’t you? Do you want to know how my staff talked behind my back?” Lucian said it matter-of-factly.His reply rendered Roxanne speechless for a moment. After a short pause, she gritted her teeth and retorted, “That’s because your action has caused inconvenience to me, Mr. Farwell!”Lucian let out a baffling laugh. “Your action has caused me inconvenience too, Ms. Jarvis.”“Lucian Farwell!” Roxanne called out his name with a raised voice. “You knew what I meant!”Lucian’s expression turned grim as he responded in a solemn voice, “You knew my intention as well. Why wouldn’t you give me a chance?”Their conversation kept hitting a deadlock.Roxanne pressed her lips, remaining silent for a while. After regaining her composure, she said calmly, “Let’s meet and talk it out.”She had to think of a way to end this quickly as she did not want to play this game with him anymore.Upon h

“Yes. I like Essie a lot, but that doesn’t mean I’m willing to marry you.” Without giving Lucian a chance to answer her, she added, “What happened six years ago is still fresh in my mind. I don’t wish to make the same mistakes. You shouldn’t trouble yourself anymore, Mr. Farwell.” Roxanne sounded anxious as she spoke. She could sense Lucian’s intense gaze on her.Fortunately for her, she managed to say whatever she wanted to say.Lucian stared at her for a long time, and he thought of explaining himself. However, he changed his mind when he heard Roxanne’s last sentence. I did her wrong six years ago, and I’ve hurt her. I can’t blame her for not trusting me. No matter what I say, I doubt she’ll listen to me now. In fact, she might even think I’m making excuses for myself.At that thought, Lucian said, “I was wrong for using Essie as an excuse. Regarding my feelings for you, I think you’ll see my sincerity in due time.”Roxanne had never seen this side of Lucian, so she didn’t know ho
