After Roxanne returned to the country with Larry, they basically stayed in Horington the entire time. Seeing that it was a rare opportunity for them to come to Bellridge, she seized the chance to do shopping nearby the event venue since it wasn’t time for lunch.

After lunch, they returned to their respective hotel rooms to get ready for the conference in the afternoon.

The conference officially began in the afternoon.

Roxanne and Larry had arrived at the venue half an hour earlier.

As Roxanne observed the people entering the venue, she could not help but grow increasingly apprehensive.

Just as Larry had told her, the people who attended the event were all prominent figures in the medical field. Although she had never seen them in person, she had seen their pictures on multiple media sources reporting on medical issues.

Larry brought her over to greet them.

“You’re Janet?” The moment one of the seniors realized that Roxanne was Janet, a look of doubt crept up his face. “A woman? More s

  • The abandoned Wife    Unexpected Events

    In Horington, Lucian sent Estella to kindergarten earlier than usual the next morning after the unpleasant conversation with Roxanne the previous day.When he arrived at the kindergarten, there were only a few parents around the area.However, Roxanne was nowhere to be found.Estella obviously wanted to see her. She held on tightly to Lucian’s hand, refusing to go into the kindergarten.Lucian frowned at her stubbornness. Even so, he could only stand outside the kindergarten together with her.It was after a long time that Archie and Benny showed up. This time, however, Roxanne was not the one who came with them.When Lucian noticed that, his eyebrows furrowed even more as he walked up to Lysa while holding Estella’s hand. “Where’s Ms. Jarvis? Doesn’t she usually drop Archie and Benny off at school?”Ever since they parted ways at the hospital, Lysa had never met Lucian again. She did not know that Roxanne and Lucian had got into an argument.Therefore, with the thought of them still

    Lucian’s expression hardened further as he observed Cayden’s nod. “Find out which hotel they are staying at.”At this point, Cayden knew what Lucian wanted to do. After a moment’s hesitation, he said, “Mr. Farwell, they will have a gathering tonight, and it’s just nearby. I’m sure Mr. Morrison and Ms. Jarvis will be present.”Lucian nodded. “In that case, let’s meet Mr. Zimmerman of Prosperity Corporation at that restaurant tonight.”Cayden nodded in agreement and contacted the CEO’s secretary to schedule the meeting.He was certain that the other party would not object to it.That night, Roxanne and Larry attended the gathering, an event hosted by the organizing committee of the conference.It took place at a high-class restaurant known as Ocean Restaurant. The restaurant was situated near the hotel where the medical conference was held that same afternoon.The organizing committee had already booked a private room for the attendees in advance. As soon as Roxanne and Larry entered th

    Roxanne frowned and stepped back, putting some distance between them before greeting, “Dr. Chambers, it’s been a while.”The middle-aged man was a doctor working in the hospital that was a partner of Roxanne’s research institute. Roxanne had only met him several times before this, and aside from his last name Chambers, Roxanne knew nothing else about him.Seeing that he didn’t mistake another person for her, he got bolder and looked at Roxanne in a perverted manner. “I remember thinking you’re beautiful when we met at the research institute. Dr. Jarvis, now that I’ve seen you out of your research lab coat, I realize that not only you’re beautiful, but you also have a great body.”As he spoke, he slowly approached Roxanne. “Look at your face. It’s glowing. Let me touch it…”Noticing that he had stretched out his greasy hand toward her, Roxanne felt disgusted and slapped his hand away. “Dr. Chambers, you should know your boundaries!”He was startled for a couple of seconds before realiz

    Roxanne lowered her gaze. “I am a doctor. I’ll come up with a way eventually.”Having studied acupuncture for so many years, Roxanne knew which acupuncture points could make someone instantly lose the energy to attack but not lethal enough to kill them.If the doctor dared to get any closer to her, Roxanne would not hesitate to let him learn the brutal way about the gap between their medical knowledge.However, before she could make a move, Lucian had already appeared before them.Hearing that, Lucian immediately understood the implication behind her words.Back when Roxanne was performing acupuncture on Alfred, Lucian had watched her from one side, so he was aware of just how knowledgeable she was with human acupuncture points.It was certainly enough to show that Roxanne had the ability to defend herself.Thinking of this, Lucian could not help but feel more relieved.However, Lucian was still upset to see her indifferent expression toward him. “In that case, can I assume you’re see

  • The abandoned Wife    The Tension And Dynamics

    Roxanne’s makeup was light enough to enhance her delicate features. She looked so beautiful that the waitress thought she was a celebrity at first. Lucian, on the other hand, had sharp features and a tall build, and he exuded the aura of an authoritative CEO. The waitress could not help but picture them as a perfect match made in heaven.Of course, Roxanne was unaware of what the waitress was thinking about her and Lucian.She felt slightly unwell as the alcohol had finally started kicking in. Her reactions to alcohol always came slower than others.However, since she had asked Lucian out for a cup of coffee, she felt it was inappropriate for her to leave with the excuse of her feeling unwell. That would only give Lucian another reason to mock her.With this in mind, Roxanne suppressed the discomfort inside her and took a sip of her coffee, trying to cancel out the feeling of being drunk.Lucian took a sip of the coffee as he remained expressionless, masking the displeasure he was fe

    Lucian furrowed his brows. “I’m not planning to do anything. You can rest assured.”Seeing how pale she looked, he just couldn’t feel at ease..Roxanne could only stand there as he walked into the bedroom and lifted the phone on the nightstand.“Hello? Please bring some hangover medicine,” Lucian told the receptionist through the phone.In no time, a knock came from the door.Roxanne and Lucian didn’t close the door when they entered earlier, so when Roxanne craned her neck and looked at the door, she saw a hotel staff standing outside with the hangover medicine and a glass of warm water.Lucian walked over and took the medicine and water before thanking the hotel staff. Approaching Roxanne, he said, “Take the medicine, and I’ll leave.”Roxanne didn’t know what to do with him. She could only comply and accept the hangover medicine.The next moment, he passed the glass of water to her.Anyone who saw the scene would never think that he was the almighty Mr. Farwell of Horington.Roxanne

    Larry stiffened, and a thought immediately ran through his head.Did Lucian check in to this hotel because of Roxanne? What’s going on between them?With that in mind, Larry hesitated for a bit before approaching Lucian. “Mr. Farwell, do you need anything from Roxanne?” he asked casually.Raising his brow, Lucian replied, “She wasn’t feeling well last night, so I brought her back. Naturally, I have to check on her.”His answer confirmed the doubts Larry had.The latter smiled gently. “It’s nice of you to be concerned, Mr. Farwell. But I don’t think Roxanne wants to see you.”Instantly, Lucian’s eyes darkened, and the atmosphere around them turned tense.Yet, Larry acted as though he noticed nothing. With the smile still on his face, he calmly turned to face the door to Roxanne’s room.Inside, Roxanne had already woken up, washed her face, and brushed her teeth. When she heard the knocks on the door, she thought it was Larry, so she walked over and opened it without much thought.At th

    The sudden ringing of the phone broke the tense atmosphere at the dining table.As Lucian’s mind was preoccupied with Roxanne’s relationship with Larry, he picked up the call without looking at the phone.The moment the call went through, he heard a female’s concerned voice.“Lucian, I heard you went to Bellridge for a business trip. How are things? Have you settled them?”Aubree had gone to the office yesterday to look for Lucian and ended up making a wasted trip. She found out that Lucian had gone to Bellridge only after she asked Sonya. As such, she had called him early in the morning to show concern toward him.She had thought that he would not pick up like all the previous times she called. Yet, little did she expect him to pick up the phone so quickly.Aubree thought that Lucian had finally let go of his prejudices against her, and her voice was filled with delight.Lucian frowned upon hearing her voice and subconsciously looked at Roxanne.As they were quiet, Roxanne and Larry

    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

    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

    “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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    “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

    Soon, the weekend arrived. Roxanne was woken up by the sound of the kids knocking at her door. The moment she opened the door, she saw the three little ones all dressed up and looking at her excitedly.As Roxanne was still half asleep, she could not remember their plan for the day and was puzzled as to what was going on.“Mommy, we are going to the amusement park today!” Benny reminded in his childish voice, noticing that his mother was in a daze.Only then did Roxanne finally snap out of her trance. Feeling slightly frustrated with herself, she asked, “What time is it now?”Benny looked at his smartwatch and answered, “It’s already seven in the morning. Mr. Farwell told us that he will be reaching soon!”When Roxanne heard that, she looked down at her nightgown, and with a look of exasperation on her face, she instructed Archie and Benny, “I’m going to wash up now. Can the two of you prepare breakfast?”The boys smiled at their mother and replied, “Mr. Farwell is taking us out for b
