“If you’re reluctant to do it, I’ll help you explain it to the kids,” Roxanne said worriedly.

They were stuck in a crowd, and she could see that Lucian was uncomfortable.

Lucian turned to look at the three children waiting for them close by, and his gaze softened. “It’s all right. As long as they like it.”

His gaze then shifted toward Roxanne. “As for you, remember to hold tight onto me if you get scared later.”

Roxanne was startled when her eyes met with his mischievous ones. She lowered her head as mixed feelings surged within her heart.

Throughout the years, she had brought Archie and Benny to an amusement park many times.

The two children had mentioned wanting to go on a roller coaster countless times but were never able to.

Before that day, they had never mentioned wanting her to represent them to go on the roller coaster either.

Perhaps they thought that I would be afraid.

It was not until today, with Lucian’s appearance, that they dared to ask her such a request. They had look

    Lucian returned from buying some water to see the children laughing and surrounding a smiling Roxanne. Lucian’s expression softened at the scene.The children happily waved their hands to beckon Lucian over when they saw him return.Lucian hurried toward them and handed the drinks he had just bought to each of them as he listened to Roxanne and the children talk.“Were you scared just now?” Roxanne suddenly turned to look at him and asked.The children’s gazes also fell onto him.Lucian shrugged and raised his eyebrows. “I went parachuting before. That was scarier than the roller coaster.”Surprise flashed across Roxanne’s eyes upon hearing that.With Lucian’s personality, I thought he would never do something thrilling like that.Archie’s and Benny’s eyes lit up in excitement as they enthusiastically grabbed onto the hem of Lucian’s shirt. “Mr. Farwell, bring us along the next time you go!”Lucian lowered his gaze and smiled at Archie and Benny. He agreed without any hesitation, “Al

    They got in the car after walking out of the restaurant. Lucian sat idly in the car for some time without starting the engine. Roxanne gave him a puzzled look.The moment she raised her head to look at him, she made eye contact with him.Roxanne was momentarily stunned. For some strange reason, she felt slightly nervous.After a moment, disappointment showed on Lucian’s face. “If only it’s pouring rain right now.”His words took Roxanne by surprise.The children looked at Lucian curiously. “But we won’t be able to go home if there’s a rainstorm!”Lucian smiled in response. He didn’t say anything else and started the car.The kids were still perplexed because their father didn’t give them a response.Roxanne, on the other hand, immediately understood Lucian’s intentions after the children mentioned this.In other words, he was telling her that he didn’t want to go home that night.Her face flushed crimson, and she didn’t dare to look at him. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back now. The

    Roxanne felt a strange sense of familiarity upon hearing Sonya’s words. She found Sonya’s actions hilarious when she suddenly thought about how similar the latter’s words sounded to those TV dramas and novels.Unaware of it, Sonya continued, “Six years ago, you were the one who decided to leave Lucian. No one forced you to do so. Do you think the Farwell residence is somewhere you can come and go as you please?”Roxanne tried to suppress her emotions and thoughts when Sonya brought up what had happened six years ago. “You’ve got the wrong idea. It’s not something I can decide on my own, whether it was my leaving six years ago or how far I have progressed with Lucian now.”Sonya didn’t expect Roxanne’s retort, and she grew displeased.Roxanne continued to state matter-of-factly, “Even though you guys were aware of Lucian’s feelings for Aubree six years ago, you forced me to stand in the way of their relationship because your family needed a joyous event to bring Lucian’s grandfather g

    Archie and Benny got up really early on Monday morning. They had already prepared warm milk and sandwiches by the time Roxanne made her way down the stairs.She chuckled in amusement when she saw how excited they were.“Hurry up and eat your breakfast, Mommy! You need to send us to the kindergarten soon!” Benny said while handing her the gla*s of warm milk.Roxanne nodded with a smile and joined them for breakfast before getting into the car with them.Archie and Benny had been somewhat depressed since Estella transferred to another kindergarten.Now that Estella had returned, Archie and Benny were excited about attending cla*ses again.Upon arriving at the kindergarten, Roxanne saw Estella standing next to Lucian while he spoke to Pippa and Jeffrey.“Mr. Farwell! Essie!” Archie and Benny shouted excitedly from the car window.Roxanne couldn’t help but smile as she brought them out of the car.The boys hurried up to Estella and gave her a big hug from both sides.“Welcome back, Essie

    “Did I say anything wrong? I’m more than happy to help pick Archie and Benny up and look after them if you can’t make it. Do you not want my help?” Lucian replied in the most matter-of-fact tone possible. He then eyed Roxanne from head to toe as he continued, “If you don’t want me to do that, I can have Cayden—”Roxanne knew just how persistent he could get, so she quickly cut him off, “All right, I’ll pick Essie up if you’re too busy.”Satisfied with her answer, Lucian nodded slowly in response.Looking at the time on her watch, Roxanne said, “Anyway, I need to get to work now. See you later in the evening.”She was worried about the research institute, as it had been without a leader for two days straight.Roxanne was about to leave when Lucian called out to her with a displeased frown, “That’s it? Are you just going to leave like that?”She paused in her tracks and let out a helpless sigh in response.Lucian seemed to have changed completely ever since I agreed to let him court me

    Pippa chuckled and shook her head when she saw how excited the kids were. They are rarely this happy, so why not let them have some fun?She flashed a smile and watched them from the side, lest they get into any accidents.Another teaching a*sistant from the same cla*s approached her and whispered, “Ms. Ward, how is Mr. Farwell related to Archie and Benny’s mother?”Pippa froze in surprise. She recalled Lucian’s words earlier and how Estella had addressed Roxanne this morning.It was evident that there was more to their relationship than either of them was letting on although they had not been explicit about it.In the event that a member of the Farwell family wished to pick up Estella, Lucian would need to be notified by phone, whereas Roxanne could collect her without prior authorization.It could be said that Roxanne was much more important to Lucian than his family.However, she wasn’t sure if they were ready to go public with their relationship.Pippa gave the teaching a*sistant

    Not long after, the car rolled to a stop before a beach. Roxanne felt her heart relax at the sight of the vast ocean.It had been some time since she had last come to the beach.Six years ago, before their separation, she would visit the beach alone to find solace whenever Lucian hurt her feelings.After giving birth to Archie and Benny, Roxanne would relax by spending time playing with them.Every time she spent time playing with the children, she would eventually feel rejuvenated.To her surprise, she felt the same way today at the sight of the endless sea before her.“I recall you used to come to the beach frequently in the past.” Lucian’s voice echoed in her ear as he reminisced about old times. “After you left, I’d also come to the beach whenever I felt tired. It was a great feeling.”With that, he clasped her hand and led her to the beach.It was a weekday, so there was no one in sight.Roxanne hesitated briefly and allowed him to lead her to the beach.They strolled along the

    Lucian said nothing and merely stared at her darkly. Suddenly, he bent down and swooped her up.Shocked, Roxanne instinctively clung to his neck, afraid she would fall to the ground.Her actions happened to play in Lucian’s favor. The violence in his gaze faded a little as he strode to the shore.Roxanne’s cheeks were flushed as she said, “Put me down. I can walk by myself now.”She knew she had scared him. He scooped her up in his arms because he was fearful that something similar would happen once more.Ignoring her protests, Lucian carried her to his car and helped her settle into the pa*senger seat. He retrieved his suit jacket from the backseat and draped it over her shoulders before taking his place behind the wheel.Noticing he was still mad at her, Roxanne felt utterly helpless. “Didn’t we come here to relax? That was just a tiny accident.”Lucian’s brows were still knitted together. Deep down, she let out a sigh and said coyly, “You promised to give me a handmade shell brace

    Meanwhile, Lucian arrived downstairs and went into the car with Roxanne in his arms. She was so deep asleep that she did not stir at all. After putting a jacket over her and fastening her seatbelt, Lucian got into the driver’s seat and drove back to the hotel.Worried that he might wake Roxanne up, he drove very slowly.By the time they got back to the hotel, it was already past nine at night.“Roxanne?”Lucian parked the car and softly called out to Roxanne.In response, Roxanne scrunched her eyebrows slightly. She then pulled the jacket over her shoulder and covered her ears.Seeing that, Lucian couldn’t resist stroking her hair. He got out of the car quietly before carrying her off the car seat.It was breezy outside. Despite the jacket draped over her, Roxanne instinctively snuggled into his chest.Lucian held her tighter and quickened his pace, though his steps remained steady.At the sight of the sweet couple, the people in the hotel lobby looked over with surprise and envy.Ig

    Just then, Jack’s muffled voice rang out beside Roxanne. “Ms. Jarvis, are you okay?” Roxanne forcefully blinked her eyes to clear her head, but all her efforts proved futile.Despite having heard Jack’s question, she couldn’t muster the energy to reply, so she could only acknowledge him by holding eye contact.Jack had also drunk quite a lot, and after noticing how intoxicated Roxanne was, he knew it was time to bid farewell to Terence and the family members.“It’s getting late. We should be heading back to get some rest. We’ll still have to return to the nursing home tomorrow to continue the treatments.”Upon hearing that, the crowd knew better than to take up any more of the duo’s time. As such, everyone expressed their gratitude once more before seeing Roxanne and Jack out of the restaurant.With Roxanne in such a drunken stupor, Jack had to keep her steady by holding her arm.There were even a few instances when he tried to pull the doctor into his arms so they could walk togethe

    It took Jack and Roxanne a while before they could pacify the elderly man and calm him down. After that, they continued treating the rest of the elderly people.Initially, the elderly people liked Roxanne for her looks and her sweet demeanor, and they were also curious about her relationship with Jack.However, after witnessing how the two of them treated the elderly man, the others saw the duo in a new light.During their consultations, they would eagerly list out all of their health issues.Many even talked about the minor issues they faced every day, desperately hoping that Roxanne and Jack could make them as healthy as a horse.The two of them ended up getting heavier and heavier workloads.Once the sessions were over, Roxanne was exhausted.“How do you feel?”Jack was tired too. He took a bottle of water and walked over to sit beside Roxanne.Wiping the sweat off her forehead, she then took the bottle he pa*sed to her and took a sip out of it before turning back to the smiling e

    It was apparent that they did not buy her explanation at all. Roxanne cast a glance at Jack, hoping that he would help her out.However, Jack only smiled before turning away and changing the topic. “No matter what kind of relationship we have, it won’t affect our ability to treat you. Next, please.”He did not deny the elderly people’s a*sumption of their relationship, and so the elderly people became even more confident about their guesses as they looked at Roxanne and Jack lovingly.Upon realizing that she could not change their minds, Roxanne decided to drop the topic.Nevertheless, she later made sure not to do anything to let others misunderstand the nature of her relationship with Jack.Roxanne ended up consulting dozens of elderly people, but their health issues were all common and not too severe.As she was fully prepared to find their conditions had worsened, she was glad to see that they seemed better than she had thought they would be.Thank God they’re not doing as terrib

    Arriving before the room door, Roxanne glanced at the shirt on herself. “I’ll wash this shirt and return it to you.”Since they were at the food stall for quite some time and even got into a conflict with those drunkards, it was no wonder their clothes were reeking of barbecue and alcohol.Roxanne was undeniably a little thrown off by the smell.“You probably got a shock earlier, didn’t you?” Lucian asked, sidestepping the topic Roxanne brought up.It took Roxanne a good few seconds to process the man’s question. In response, she pursed her lips and smiled. “Yeah, a little. That was a big group. We should’ve just walked away. There’s no point getting entangled with them.”Lucian’s brows drew together. “I don’t like the way they look at you.”In other words, he was telling her he chose not to leave because those drunkards were blatantly taking liberties with her through their words.Roxanne was taken aback, but she slowly put on a smile on her face. “Thank you.”I was the one who sugg

    “I’m sorry. I really didn’t see you there.” Not wanting to escalate the situation, Roxanne apologized and adjusted her chair a little.The drunkards’ eyes lit up with lust when they saw her pretty face and amazing figure.Roxanne frowned in discomfort when she noticed them ogling her body.That was when she heard Lucian standing up next to her.She had wanted to stop him as she thought he was going to start a fight with the drunkards, but he simply stepped in front of her and shielded her with his large frame.“Given how packed this place is, it’s common for people to bump into each other. Of course, since you all think we’re at fault here, I’ll take responsibility and make it up to you guys. Which table are you seated at? I’ll have the stall owner put your expenses on my bill,” Lucian said while glaring at the drunkards.Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.Oh, thank goodness… I thought Lucian was actually going to fight them! He may be skilled and all, but they ha

    “So, what are we going to eat?” Since he had already heard her stomach growling, Roxanne decided to be straightforward about it.Lucian retracted his gaze and replied, “I haven’t been here in a long time, so I’m not too sure if that restaurant is still in business. Come on, let’s head downstairs.”The two of them continued chatting as they made their way toward the elevator.That was when Jack’s door opened by a crack, and he could see them as they entered the elevator.The look in his eyes turned gloomy the moment he saw Roxanne’s outfit and recognized the man standing next to her.That’s Lucian! So, he’s the one who came to Jadeborough with Roxanne! I can’t believe Roxanne declined my dinner invitation only to go out for supper with Lucian! Is it true what the rumors say about their relationship improving because of Essie? If that’s the case, then it’ll be near impossible for me to win Roxanne over!Jack’s face darkened.The elevator slowly came to a halt on the first floor, and Ro

    Lucian furrowed his brows and replied, “What else can I do? I don’t know anything about medical consultation. Since you are in the medical industry as well, give me some tips, then.” Jonathan held his forehead in exasperation.Is he seriously thinking of helping out at the nursing home tomorrow?The man let out a long sigh in his heart before replying patiently, “From what you’re telling me, Roxanne and Jack are staying in the same hotel now. Aren’t you worried at all? You know Jack has ulterior motives toward Roxanne…”The crease between Lucian’s brows grew deeper.He looked up at Roxanne’s room and saw that the lights had already been turned on.Recalling Jonathan’s words, Lucian could no longer sit still. Immediately, he opened the door and got out of the car.Jonathan was still blabbering nonstop over the phone.After heading into the hotel, Lucian made a reservation for the room next to Roxanne’s.It was already almost ten at night when Roxanne entered her room.She hesitated fo

    “If you enjoy it here, then we can go traveling often in the future,” Lucian said when they were on the way to the lake. “The past few years have been incredibly hectic, so I’m looking forward to taking some time off to relax during my vacations.” He was holding Roxanne’s hand. She stared at his side profile and felt a bitter feeling spreading across her heart.For the past six years, they had been out of touch and unaware of each other’s current status.Roxanne led a hectic but fulfilling life.On the contrary, Lucian didn’t seem to be doing well.“We can bring the kids here one day. I don’t think they have been in the mountains before.”Lucian stopped in his tracks and turned over his shoulder to look at her.They had arrived at the lake.Perhaps they were in the mountains, for the lake water was crystal clear. The branches of the drooping willows by the lake were swaying lightly in the breeze.Roxanne glanced at him and said distractedly, “I believe Archie and Benny want to travel
