The next few days, Roxanne did not send the children or pick them up because of her work.Like the previous time, the boys would come back and hint to her about how upset Estella was to not see her.Although Roxanne’s heart ached whenever she heard that, she said nothing about it.One night, as usual, the children waited for their parents to pick them up after schoolEstella stared at the two boys.Without even needing her to say anything, the boys knew what she was going to say.Her question would be none other than when their mother was going to come.Estella’s continuous stares throughout the past few days could burn a hole in their faces at this rate.However, they could not do anything if their mother did not give them her permission.Not long after, Lysa appeared in the line for parents.Estella looked away in disappointment.Archie and Benny did not leave immediately. They waited until Lucian’s car appeared before leaving with Lysa.“Daddy,” Estella miserably called out as she

While that was happening, Sonny had also informed Sonya that Lucian was unwell.Although she had previously gotten into an argument with Lucian, she still decided to personally check in on her son upon learning of his condition.“Mrs. Farwell.”When Catalina saw Sonya walking through the door, she could not help thinking about how the mother-son pair had quarreled the last time. She hesitated, wondering whether to let the latter go upstairs or not.Naturally, Sonya paid no mind to her hesitation. “Is Lucian in his room?”Catalina nodded. “He’s not feeling well and is resting. How about—”Before she could finish her sentence, Sonya interrupted impatiently, “My son has fallen ill. As his mother, of course I want to see him.”With that, she strode upstairs.Not daring to stop her, Catalina could only trail behind awkwardly.Over in the bedroom, Lucian thought it was Catalina coming to check on him again when he heard a knock on the door.“Come in,” he responded in a low voice.Soon, the

Lucian’s rejection was cold and indifferent. “Mind your own business.”After uttering that, he took Estella’s hand and went inside.Aubree’s expression darkened as she stared after their retreating figures. However, she quickly adjusted her expression and chased after them.Catalina had already prepared dinner, and when she saw Lucian entering with Estella, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Dinner is ready, Mr. Farwell, Ms. Estella. Come eat!”Just as she finished speaking, she noticed Aubree coming in the doors.Catalina’s expression stiffened slightly, but she forced herself to maintain a cordial smile.Aubree ignored her and made a beeline straight for Lucian and Estella.Lucian, too, ignored her. The only reason he did not outright drive Aubree away was that he did not want to aggravate his mother, who would, in turn, trouble Roxanne.However, if they expected anything more from him, then they would be sorely disappointed.Meanwhile, Lysa brought Archie and Benny home.Roxanne was alr

When they arrived back home, Archie and Benny wanted to cheer Roxanne up, but she did not give them a chance to do so as she headed straight for the study.When they saw Roxanne’s retreating figure, they felt disappointed and worried.They kept thinking that something must have happened at Lucian’s house that they did not know about.Roxanne closed the door to the study. She had a conflicted look as she sat at the desk.The truth was, she did not have any work. That was just an excuse she came up with at the very last minute.She thought of how she felt when she saw Lucian and Aubree together and felt a strange feeling tug at her heart.What’s wrong with me? I knew that Lucian was using me as his tool to compete in business. His previous pursuit was all talk. But why does my heart feel heavy when I see him with another woman…Roxanne had no idea how to face this version of herself.Suddenly, the ringing of a phone tore her away from her thoughts.She snapped back to her senses and loo

There was a slight change of expression on Colby’s face when he heard that. Instantly, his eyes were fixated on Roxanne. She wants to treat Jack to a meal? Since when? How come I know nothing about it? Did they contact each other privately?Intrigued, he blurted, “Really? When was that?”Roxanne replied, “I made that suggestion when Mr. Damaris and I were talking about the medicinal herbs last night.”Turning to Jack, she added, “Mr. Damaris has helped our institute fix a huge mess. This meal is nothing significant compared to the favor received.”In other words, she made it clear that the meal was not meant to pay Jack back for his generosity.Jack did not seem bothered by her words.He glanced at Colby and teased Roxanne, “How then does Ms. Jarvis plan to return me the favor?”Jack’s gaze, coupled with his question, made Colby’s heart sink.He quickly turned to Roxanne, impatiently waiting for her response.Putting on a serious expression, she stated, “I’ll definitely make your sac
