Lucian hurried to Roxanne’s house to pick up Estella after work that evening. On his way there, Cayden’s words reverberated in Lucian’s mind.Thanks to Cayden, Lucian was reminded that Roxanne had not explained her relationship with Jack yet.Even after he had arrived at Roxanne’s house, Lucian still could not stop thinking about the matter. Thus, displeasure filled his heart.Roxanne was greeted by the man’s cold visage as soon as she opened the door, which got her frozen in place like a statue.I haven’t even given him a piece of my mind about Estella’s matter! What’s with his attitude? He actually has the audacity to show me that gloomy face?“What’s wrong? Is something up at work?” questioned Roxanne, trying to be patient.However, Lucian simply looked past the woman with a deadpan expression before asking, “Where’s Essie? I’m here to take her home.”Roxanne furrowed her eyebrows slightly when she sensed the gloomy aura around Lucian.The three children hurried over the second th

After seeing Lucian and Estella off, Roxanne returned inside the mansion with Archie and Benny and started preparing for dinner. “Mommy.” The two boys followed her into the kitchen.Roxanne stopped what she was doing and asked, “What is it?”“Why did you fight with Mr. Farwell?” Archie and Benny looked at her intently.Their question caught her off guard. “I didn’t—”She was about to deny the fact that they fought, but she was interrupted by her kids. “We saw everything. You can’t lie to children!”Roxanne was at a loss for words. What’s going on with them today?She had had countless disagreements with Lucian, and Archie and Benny had always been on her side without asking her what had happened.“Did Mr. Farwell make you upset?”Roxanne began to ponder who was at fault in her conflict with Lucian, but she couldn’t figure it out even after some time.In the end, she could only shake her head and explain evasively, “No. I was just talking to Mr. Farwell about Essie, and I started to s

In the room, Estella felt upset when she thought of Aubree’s expression the moment she walked through the door just now. I really don’t want to stay with Ms. Pearson, but Daddy won’t tell me when he will chase her away.After dwelling on that for quite some time, Estella couldn’t hold it back anymore and called Roxanne.Thankfully, Roxanne answered the call rather quickly.“Essie, what’s the matter?” When Roxanne saw that it was a call from Estella, she couldn’t help but feel her heart clench. She was afraid that Aubree had bullied her again.Hearing Roxanne’s voice, Estella felt even more aggrieved. She mumbled sadly, “Ms. Jarvis, can you pick me up from my house?”Roxanne frowned, her eyes filled with concern. “Why? Did Ms. Pearson get mad at you?”Estella shook her head. “Daddy is here. She wouldn’t dare.”Only then did Roxanne feel at ease. “Why did you ask me to fetch you, then?” she asked caringly.It had not been long since Lucian brought Estella back. She thought Estella had

Meanwhile, although the light in Aubree’s room had been turned off, she had yet to go to sleep. Aubree waited until she saw Lucian carry Estella to the car and slowly drive out of the Farwell residence before tiptoeing around her room to gather some things. Then, she opened the door and crept to Estella’s room.Lucian had left in such a hurry that he did not even close the door to Estella’s room, which only made things easier for Aubree.Using the glow from her phone screen to see what she was doing, she switched out a few things inside Estella’s bathroom. After scanning the room carefully and ensuring nothing appeared out of the ordinary, she left quietly.Back in her room, the thought of the distressed look on Estella’s face filled her heart with glee.That little brat… Let’s see if she dares to go against me again!Meanwhile, Estella’s condition did not get any better as they made their way to Roxanne’s house. She could not refrain from occasionally reaching out to rake her nails

“What’s the matter, Dr. Jarvis?” Colby had just fallen asleep when he was jolted awake by Roxanne’s call. When he glimpsed the caller ID, he immediately answered the call.Hearing his voice, Roxanne furtively breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn’t the time to exchange pleasantries with him, so she cut to the chase. “If it isn’t too much trouble, can you make a trip to the research institute right now?”At that, Colby sat up from the bed. “Is there anything important?”While saying that, he had already started changing without waiting for her reply.He knew that there must be something crucial that she was calling at that hour, but he wanted to know the specifics.Roxanne glanced at the three children in the room, her voice grave. “I have kids here who developed an allergic reaction due to bacterial infection. The spray we formulated back then might be effective, but I’m really needed here. As such, I can only seek your help.”Having said that, she added, “Forget it if it’s too much tr
