Beneath the articles, all the comments praised how well Lucian treated Roxanne. There were also a lot of comments saying they looked very compatible.

The children were slowly wavering.

After reading through the articles, Archie and Benny could not help but carry their laptops and run to their mother for answers. “Mommy, are you getting together with Mr. Farwell?”

Roxanne took a look at the articles on the screen. She couldn’t help but frown.

She was worried Archie and Benny would misunderstand. That was why she didn’t want Lysa to say too much during dinner. Unexpectedly, the two children decided to investigate the matter themselves.

Archie and Benny looked at Roxanne with their eyes wide.

“No. His fiancée is Aubree Pearson. You guys have met her. The news reports are wrong.” After a moment of silence, Roxanne forced herself to suppress her discomfort and give the two children an explanation.

Hearing that, Archie and Benny exchanged a glance with each other. Archie nodded his head obe

    Six years ago, Lucian himself had said that the only woman he intended to marry was Aubree.Roxanne still remembered that very clearly.“Six years ago, you came in between Lucian and me. We missed out on so much time together because of you.”Aubree’s face tensed. “Now, everyone in Horington knows about the engagement between Lucian and me. Since you know about it, I hope you take better care of your reputation and stay away from him. Six years ago, you were the other woman. I hope you don’t repeat that mistake. We are both women, but I feel ashamed for you!”Roxanne frowned. “Instead of spending your time criticizing me, why don’t you use that time on Mr. Farwell?”Six years ago, it was her ignorance that made her fall for Lucian.However, Lucian was the one who kept trying to get closer to her at the moment.Seeing that she was still in denial, Aubree’s tone lowered. “I am here to warn you out of kindness. Six years ago, you might not have cared about your reputation. Now, you have

    “Are you in a bad mood, Mommy?” Archie and Benny looked at her with concern.Roxanne was taken aback. She thought she had hidden her emotions well in front of her kids, but they saw right through her ruse.“Why did you ask?” she asked nonchalantly, glancing at them in the rearview mirror.Archie’s face creased in bewilderment. “You ignored Essie just now. Did Mr. Farwell annoy you?”The slightly unsettled feeling gnawed at the pit of her stomach at the mention of Lucian.She must have been really close with him during that period of time for Archie to have misunderstood.Benny added, “Essie almost cried.”Roxanne drew her brows together in a frown, and her heart wrenched as she could only imagine Estella’s pitiable face without seeing it for herself.She wished she could apologize to Estella.Aubree’s words further solidified her inclination to cut all ties with Lucian.She didn’t want to interfere with the kids’ friendship, but she really wanted to limit her contact with Lucian.Roxa

    Roxanne frowned slightly and was about to reject Hugo Reynolds. Meanwhile, escaping from the crowd on the dance floor, Madilyn sat beside her directly and started to give Hugo a once-over.Hugo had an elegant appearance. His chiseled facial features remained obvious under the bar’s dim light. Although Hugo lacked a fit body, he was not too skinny. Besides, judging from his attire, Madilyn could tell that his outfit cost about one hundred thousand.Hmm. I guess I can give him an eight out of ten?After rating him inwardly, Madilyn agreed before Roxanne could decline him, “Sure! Do you have any friends? Ask them to come over!”Hugo’s table was right next to theirs. In fact, he had noticed them earlier when both of them danced together. Hence, he knew that they came together. Hearing Madilyn’s agreement, Hugo did not hesitate and asked his friends to join their table. His friends were good-looking, and all of them dressed in expensive clothes. As they approached the table, they brought a

    Roxanne strenuously helped her up while politely bidding goodbye to everyone.“Let me help you girls.” Hugo stood up and continued, “You seem to be struggling. Let me help you get her into the car.”Roxanne hesitated for a few seconds. Looking at the tipsy Madilyn, she agreed eventually, “Thank you for your help!”After interacting with Hugo that night, she had a pretty good impression of him. Besides, Roxanne could not support Madilyn alone after having a few glasses of wine.Seeing that she had agreed, Hugo went up to them and was about to lend Roxanne a hand. It was at that moment he heard a deep voice coming from behind. The tone of the man sounded displeased.“I appreciate your kindness, but I’ll send the girls back. Thank you, Mr. Reynolds.”Several people were stunned to hear that voice.Roxanne’s body instinctively stiffened at once.She knew Lucian too well. By listening to his voice alone, she could imagine his frosty expression at that moment.Moreover, Roxanne did not know

    After staying silent for a few seconds, Lucian uttered, “Are you planning to find a father for Archie and Benny in a place like that? Do you think you can find a reliable man there?”Roxanne let out a chuckle. “I’ll only know if the man is reliable once we get to know each other. Of course, I can’t find out if the man is reliable if you keep interrupting us like what you did earlier. Mr. Farwell, if you’re so worried, why don’t you introduce someone to me?”“Roxanne!” A flash of anger passed through Lucian’s eyes.Roxanne averted her gaze in disappointment. “Mr. Farwell, since you don’t plan to do that, you should mind your own business from now on.”With that, she opened the car door and helped Madilyn out of the car.Through the rearview mirror, Lucian saw that Roxanne was struggling to walk while supporting Madilyn. Frowning, he got out of the car and wanted to give Roxanne a hand.Sensing Lucian’s intention, Roxanne immediately turned sideways to avoid him. Looking at the man, who

    Arching his brows, Lucian asked, “Do you like Archie and Benny very much?”Estella nodded firmly in response.Archie and Benny have been nice to me ever since our first meeting. They also protected me in kindergarten. With the two of them around, the other kids didn’t dare to bully me anymore. I feel like a princess of kindergarten now!Estella’s eyes gleamed whenever Lucian mentioned the two boys.He felt conflicted upon seeing Estella’s hopeful expression.Still, it’s easier to let Estella interact more with Archie and Benny than to send her to recover at Roxanne’s house.Thinking of that, Lucian felt relieved. “Since you like Archie and Benny so much, you can ask Catalina to prepare more snacks before going to school in the future. Then, you can share with the boys,” he suggested.Estella tilted her head, unable to comprehend Lucian’s words for a moment.Stroking Estella’s head, Lucian added, “You should be nice to Archie and Benny and play more with them since they have been treat

    Roxanne halted her steps, unsure what he was trying to say.Looking at the woman standing beside her, Lucian pursed his lips indifferently. “If I remember correctly, you once said that the children are innocent and should not get involved in our matters. However, does this only apply to Archie and Benny?”Upon hearing that, Roxanne turned around and met his gaze. “What do you mean?”Lucian raised an eyebrow. “You know that Essie likes you and would feel sad if she doesn’t see you. However, you refused to meet her multiple times, knowing that this might cause her condition to worsen. Isn’t Essie innocent in this matter? I don’t mind if it’s me you want to avoid, but there’s no need to do the same thing on her as well.”Roxanne was promptly taken aback when she heard that.Although she had considered if Estella would feel upset for not seeing her, Roxanne dismissed the thought as she had never seen herself as someone important. Besides, Lucian would definitely take good care of Estella.

Do you still see yourself as that same nobody in the past who just went overseas?

    “What’s wrong?” Jack and Colby were both gentlemen. They wanted to wait for Roxanne to leave before leaving.However, Roxanne’s car was still parked at the same spot even after they had waited for some time. Thus, they went up to check on her.Roxanne felt a little helpless. “The car’s broken.”Maybe some parts weren’t fully repaired from the accident last time.Hearing that, Jack and Colby exchanged glances, and Jack offered, “Let me help you to check.”With that, he got into the vehicle to check on it.He had always been interested in cars, so he thought something like that was happening because Roxanne did not understand them enough.Just as he was about to get to work, he heard Roxanne say, “This car was knocked by another car some time ago. Maybe the mechanics missed a few parts. I’ll get it repaired another day.”At that, Jack stopped whatever he was about to do.Since she already knows what the problem is, then it’s definitely not a man-made problem.“Then… Let me send you hom

    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

    After staying up the entire night, Roxanne got up super early the next morning. She wanted to leave as soon as possible for the research institute because Jack was scheduled to deliver the medicinal herbs on time.Hence, she did not want to keep him waiting.With that thought in mind, Roxanne tried to stay awake.Upon getting dressed, she went downstairs, only to be greeted by two concerned children at the dining table.Roxanne sat down next to Archie and Benny. Then, she gave them both a peck on the cheek like she always did.When she lifted her head, she noticed faint dark circles under the kids’ eyes.She frowned immediately and asked, “You two didn’t have a good night’s sleep?”The boys shook their heads, feeling guilty.Benny answered in a piping voice, “I had a nightmare and caused Archie to sleep poorly.”Though feeling groggy, Roxanne could tell that it was just an excuse. She snapped her brows together and said, “You can come over and look for me the next time you have a bad

    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

    At the Farwell residence, Aubree was having dinner with Lucian and Estella.While they were eating, Aubree tried her best to engage in a conversation with the two, but she received no response.This angered her.Indeed, Lucian did not kick her out this time. However, he was acting as though she did not exist, as he had never looked at her once.They finally finished dinner. Aubree stood up first and turned to Catalina. She kindly said, “Catalina, let me help you clean up.”Catalina was surprised and wondered why Aubree had a sudden change in attitude.Before she could say anything, Aubree had started cleaning the table.Since Lucian would not accept her affection, she could only swallow her pride and try to impress him by doing little things.“Daddy…”Estella carefully tugged on her father’s sleeve.Lucian looked down at her.“I want to see the flowers.” She glanced at Aubree as she spoke.She did not want to stay with Aubree.If Aubree were to stay at their place, then Estella would

    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

    Estella nodded at Archie and Benny obediently.“Essie!”Just as the three children were chatting up a storm, someone suddenly called out to Estella from a distance.The three children turned to look toward the direction of the voice in unison.Since Lucian was out sick, there was no way he would come pick up Estella.By that logic, Catalina was likely the one who had come to fetch her.However, when they saw the person who was approaching, surprise tinged their expressions. One by one, they frowned.The person who called out to Estella was Aubree.Paying no heed to Archie and Benny, Aubree strode toward Estella directly.“Essie, your father is still sick, so I came to pick you up in his stead.”Aubree reached out, intending to take Estella’s hand.Estella pursed her lips. A reluctant look spread across her face when she saw the woman’s outstretched hand and she silently hid her hands behind her back.Frowning slightly, Aubree admonished the little girl, “Essie.”Sensing the veiled thr

    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

    Right as Estella brought water over, she saw Catalina exiting the room and closing the door behind her.At that, she quickened her pace and jogged over to the doorway before looking at Catalina angrily.“I want to give this to Daddy!”The second Catalina turned around, she was greeted by the sight of the sulking girl. A resigned look crept into her eyes.Mr. Farwell enjoys giving me challenges like these, doesn’t he?“Ms. Estella, Mr. Farwell isn’t feeling well, and he has gone to sleep again.”Catalina dared not look into Estella’s eyes as she spoke, for she could not bear to lie to the girl.Upon hearing that her father had gone to sleep, Estella looked at the gla*s of water in her hands in disappointment and in silence.Catalina glanced at the time. It would still take some time before Sonny got here, so she brought Estella back to her room to rest.Half an hour later, Sonny walked into the mansion with his medical kit.By then, Catalina had already coaxed Estella to sleep, so she
