Semua Bab The abandoned Wife : Bab 331 - Bab 340

At that moment, Lucian approached the group and looked at them quietly. When Archie and Benny saw his arrival, they shared a look and greeted him after some hesitation. “Good morning, Mr. Farwell.”Lucian cocked his brows and reached out to pat the boys’ heads.Roxanne had wanted to ignore Lucian’s presence. But hearing Archie and Benny greet him, she figured it would be an unsightly behavior to continue to pretend not to see him when Pippa was around.With that in mind, Roxanne looked at the man and uttered placidly, “Mr. Farwell.”Lucian turned his head and made eye contact with her. “What a surprise to see you sending Archie and Benny today when you’ve just recovered, Ms. Jarvis.”I thought she’d hide from me again after the incident yesterday. That’s why I got Essie to hand the tickets to Archie and Benny and, in turn, help pa*s them to her afterward. What a surprise to meet her again that soon, huh?An odd look crept up Roxanne’s face when she sensed the underlying meaning in th

Of course, Roxanne had clearly heard Daniel’s question too, and she couldn’t help but freeze momentarily before glancing at the other doctors seated around her. As expected, everyone was staring at her in shock and bewilderment.The woman then turned back to Daniel and smiled modestly. “You’re being so courteous, Dr. Hopp. I just so happen to know some unorthodox treatment methods out of pure coincidence. It’s an absolute honor that you’re interested.”“I’ve seen what you’re capable of with my own eyes, Dr. Jarvis,” Daniel said. “It’s definitely got nothing to do with coincidences or luck. You don’t have to be so modest.”Roxanne wanted to respond politely, but Jack cut them off with a smile, “Let’s save that for after the banquet, shall we, Dr. Jarvis and Dr. Hopp? It’s time to get down to business.”Roxanne could only hold her tongue and nod at Daniel in appreciation.She and Daniel initially didn’t get along at the start of the last medical consultation, but the man eventually exh

“Mr. Damaris surely isn’t the only one who wanted her to join them. Roxanne had Old Mr. Damaris’ approval too,” uttered Larry, who had been paying attention to their interaction, when he saw that Roxanne was stumped. At that, Jessica knitted her brows and turned to the side to look at him.She had already noticed the young man a while ago. He was outstanding, but she was not interested in him.Yet, to her surprise, the man had actually forced himself into her line of sight and even defended Roxanne.“You’re…” Jessica started, frowning.Larry introduced himself politely, “I’m Larry Morrison. I’m just an ordinary doctor, so you don’t need to remember me.”Shock flitted past Jessica’s eyes.Larry was the son of the Morrison family, and everyone within the circle would have heard about him. They knew that he was uninterested in his family’s fortune and had established a place for himself in the medical world.It was rare to spot Larry in banquets in Horington over the years.Therefore, i

“I’ll send Ms. Jarvis back,” came Jack’s voice from the side. Roxanne froze, and she quickly said, “It’s fine.”Even though they were close enough to be considered friends, Roxanne did not think that they were that close enough for Jack to send her home.She rejected Larry’s offer because she felt that it would be inconvenient to do so.However, she rejected Jack because she felt that they were not close enough for him to send her back.Naturally, Jack could see the difference between Larry and him. Still, despite knowing that, he was disappointed.“There’s no need for you to be this courteous with me, Ms. Jarvis. We’ll be working together in the near future. I just wish for us to get closer so that we can work better together.” Then he tamped down the rising strange feelings in him. “Also, I’m about to go back to my place, and your house is on my way. It won’t be troublesome at all.”A crease appeared between Roxanne’s brows.Every excuse she could think of to reject Jack had been d

The man’s domineering presence silenced the crowd. Someone in the crowd finally came back to their senses when Lucian walked past them and whispered, “It’s Mr. Farwell!” Upon hearing those words, the crowd erupted into an uproar. They did not even care about their reputation anymore as they stared at Lucian’s back. Although they were all from prestigious families in Horington, they were ants in comparison to Lucian. Moreover, they could barely have the chance to see Lucian in person. Therefore, now that they had the chance to do that, they couldn’t help staring at him to their hearts’ content. Lucian’s face was an eye candy for all. Roxanne could only stay rooted to her spot in the middle of the crowd as she watched the man amble toward her. The look on her face had frozen, and she did not know what kind of reaction she should have at that moment. It seems that I have had ill luck recently. Not only is a drunkard seeking trouble with me at work, but Lucian’s here at such horrendo
