Semua Bab The abandoned Wife : Bab 761 - Bab 770

“Let’s try on the clothes, Mommy!” Noticing that her mother was in a bad mood, Estella tugged on Roxanne’s hand lightly.Roxanne glanced down at her. Aware that her daughter wanted to divert her attention, she cooperatively nodded and went upstairs with the little girl.Meanwhile, Archie and Benny started studying the various functions of their laptops.“What would you two like to learn? I don’t mind teaching you.”Sitting down beside them, Lucian took the initiative to bond with them.Archie and Benny were just about to log into their respective accounts. The instant they saw their father taking a seat by their side, they furtively stilled for fear of giving away their identities.Archie put on an innocent expression. “What can you teach us, Daddy? We want to learn everything!”Taking the boys’ age into consideration, Lucian pondered for a while. Alas, he couldn’t think of anything suitable for them to learn.But in the face of their eager gazes, coupled with the fact that he was th

Roxanne allowed herself only a day of rest at home. The following day, Lucian tried to persuade her to stay home, but she was hesitant. When she was about to give in, she received a call from Linda. “Dr. Jarvis, we have encountered some problems with Damaris Group. We might need your help to resolve them.”Linda sounded serious.Roxanne’s expression, too, darkened. “What happened?”She could tell Jack might have lost his patience and thrown a fit.Initially, she had intended to follow Lucian’s advice and give Jack the cold shoulder for a couple more days before discussing the distribution of profits with him.To her surprise, Jack’s patience has worn thin much quicker than anticipated.Roxanne somehow knew what Linda was about to tell her.“The medicinal herbs we use to develop our drugs have run out. When we reached out to Damaris Group for a restock, they refused to provide us with the necessary materials.” Linda, who did not participate in the negotiation between Roxanne and Jack,

Seeing that Jack had finally capitulated, Roxanne inwardly heaved a sigh of relief and continued to lower Damaris Group’s profit split. “Damaris Group will take thirty-five percent.” From the moment he spoke first, he had already lost.He remarked with a scowl, “You really know how to conduct business, Ms. Jarvis. I’m impressed.”Roxanne replied calmly, “I merely stated the facts. Besides, in the future, we’ll be purchasing the medicinal herbs by ourselves, so Damaris Group won’t suffer any losses either.”“Seems like Mr. Farwell has taught you well.” Jack sneered.Instead of continuing that topic, she added, “Oh, right, the collaboration between the research institute and Damaris Group isn’t long-term. Thus, the profit split is only applied to this project. Any collaborations between the two entities in the future will be discussed if and when it happens.”Jack’s smile slowly turned cold as he could no longer control his expression. “As expected from you, Mrs. Farwell. You really ar

Roxanne felt quite uneasy when the kids called them “Daddy” and “Mommy” in front of so many people. This was the first time she had made her relationship with Lucian public in front of the parents and teachers at the kindergarten.Regardless of whether they had remarried or not, everyone around them already saw her as a member of the Farwell family.Before Roxanne knew it, the kids had squeezed their way through the crowd and wrapped their arms around her and Lucian’s legs.“Daddy! Mommy! Why have you two come to pick us up together today?” Benny asked curiously.Roxanne simply kept quiet and turned toward Lucian.“I happened to get off work early, and your mommy didn’t have to work overtime today, so we came here together. What’s wrong? Do you kids not like it?” he said casually and naturally, as if they had already been a loving family for decades.“We love it!” the three kids replied in unison.“Mommy, could you and Daddy come pick us up together every day from now onward?” Estell

Upon noticing the serious atmosphere around her family, Roxanne approached them in confusion. At the sight of their savior, the children quickly hid behind her.“What’s the matter?” Reflexively, she shielded them and gazed at Lucian with worry.Lucian looked at her and then at the children, feeling amused and exasperated. “You should ask them. Even though they’re still young, they’re quite bold”In response, Roxanne turned to look at the children.“We were wrong, Mommy…” Benny apologized as he gripped the hem of Roxanne’s shirt. “Can you ask Daddy not to get angry?”“We were just goofing around,” Estella chimed in. “We didn’t expect to trouble Daddy…”“We’re sorry, Daddy. We won’t do it again,” Archie said sensibly.Confused by the children’s apologies, Roxanne turned to Lucian.Lucian approached the children and pinched their cheeks. “If I hadn’t gone to the company, Mr. Lawson would’ve called the police.”Upon hearing that, they felt even more guilty. “We know we were wrong, Daddy.
