Estella was going to say something else, but Roxanne interrupted her, “It’s late. We have to get up early tomorrow. Let’s hurry up and wash up and go to bed.”

It was obvious that Roxanne didn’t want to continue with the topic.

Estella’s eyes turned dark, but she listened to Roxanne obediently and said nothing else.

She slept with Roxanne. As she rarely had the chance to sleep with Roxanne, she slept soundly that night.

Roxanne, however, couldn’t help but recall Estella’s innocent question.

What did Lucian do wrong?

There was only one answer that she could think of to that question. Other than the fact that he didn’t like her, he didn’t seem to have done anything else to hurt her.

However, that alone was enough to make Roxanne keep a distance from him.

Besides, Sonya and Aubree had also been keeping an eye on her.

Roxanne did not sleep well that night as thoughts flooded her mind, and she woke up very early the next day.

Meanwhile, Estella was still snuggled next to Roxanne, sleeping s

    Chloe, who was holding onto Ca*sandra’s hand, suddenly saw that Archie and Benny were eating something. She asked curiously, “Archie, Benny, what are you two eating?”“Candy.” Archie and Benny opened their mouths to show her.After that, they touched their pockets and looked at Chloe apologetically. “We’ve finished ours. Otherwise, we could have shared two with you.”The disappointment was written all over Chloe’s face when she heard that.Roxanne’s heart softened when she saw how sad Chloe looked. She remembered the candies inside Estella’s pocket and called out to Estella, “Essie, can you give two candies to Chloe?”Estella turned at the sound of Roxanne’s voice and nodded, trying to take a few candies from her pocket.However, as she was being carried by Lucian, she couldn’t move her hands much. Besides, the pocket of the witch costume was deep. After trying for a long time and still couldn’t reach the candies, she looked at Lucian for help.Lucian did not seem to notice Estella’s

    It was dimly lit below the stage.Lucian could feel the children smiling beside him. Feeling curious, he gazed in their direction. The three children were whispering to each other about who-knows-what with secretive looks on their faces. Every so often, they would cover their mouths to muffle out their soft giggles.From beside them, Roxanne was looking at the children with a gentle smile on her face.It was quite a tender moment.However, the moment her eyes met Lucian’s, her loving smile turned stiff ever so slightly.Roxanne lowered her gaze and composed herself before turning her face away so that Lucian could only see her side profile.Lucian’s gaze darkened. With his brows knitted tightly together, he, too, turned his gaze away.They were the last ones to perform.When the second-last performance was about to come to an end, Lucian and Roxanne directed the children backstage and got ready to perform.They had thought the children would feel at least a little nervous, as it was t

    Lucian stood behind Roxanne and stared at her silhouette for a long time.What is she thinking about? She didn’t even notice I was here. She didn’t even move an inch the entire time I was here.After a long while, Lucian raised his feet at walked toward her with a frown on his face.Only when a shadow cast on her did Roxanne realize that she was not alone. Snapping out of her daze, Roxanne lifted her head to look at the person standing in front of her.As their gazes met, Roxanne immediately knitted her brows and stood up with solemn guardedness. She took a few steps back, increasing the distance between them.“What are you thinking about, Ms. Jarvis? Why did you leave Archie and Benny behind and come out here alone?” Lucian asked in concern as though nothing had happened.Roxanne looked at the man standing before her and retorted, “Didn’t you leave Essie behind and come out here as well, Mr. Farwell?”Lucian’s expression sank momentarily, but quickly, he flashed a smile at Roxanne. “

    “Put your hands together as we invite the champion to receive the prize on stage!” The host smiled and looked toward Roxanne and the others. Roxanne glanced at Lucian, hoping he would go up.However, Lucian remained seated calmly and showed no intention of standing up.Roxanne had no choice but to get up on stage to receive the vouchers for a hot spring vacation from Jeffrey.As she walked up the stage, everyone shot her envious looks.Thinking that the people might have seen their kiss, Roxanne couldn’t wait to get off the stage. She hurriedly took the vouchers, thanked the presenter, and turned to step down from the stage.The three children looked at the vouchers in her hand with faces full of excitement.Roxanne, however, was distracted.The long wait for the event to end was exhausting. And as soon as it ended, Roxanne immediately got up, wanting to leave with the children.As they walked out of the hall, Estella said gingerly, “Ms. Jarvis, let’s go together!”Roxanne was shocke

    Early in the morning that weekend, Roxanne had just woken up when she heard a knock at the door. She didn’t think much about it and thought it was Archie and Benny who had come to wake her up. She rubbed her eyes and let them in.Unexpectedly, when the door opened, she saw the three of them, Estella and the boys, standing at the door. Estella was wearing a pink skirt and carrying a small bag, looking particularly adorable.Roxanne was caught off guard when she saw her. She thought she was hallucinating because she didn’t sleep well the night before.The night before this, Roxanne had been brooding over the fact that she was about to go on the hot spring vacation with Lucian. She didn’t even know when she finally fell asleep.Although she had fallen asleep, she didn’t sleep well and felt as if she was constantly in a dream.Her mind was still a little hazy at that moment.“Ms. Jarvis!” Estella greeted her from the door in her piping voice.Roxanne finally returned to her senses and co

    On the way, the three cheerful children were constantly chatting in the backseat. At first, Roxanne was a little restrained. However, after listening to the joyful voices of the children, she slowly put on a smile on her face.Once they arrived at the hotel, Roxanne got out of the car first and carried the children out of the backseat one by one.The children held each other’s hands and obediently followed the two adults into the hotel.The hotel lobby was decorated magnificently. A fish tank in the corner caught their attention as soon as they walked into the hotel.“It’s beautiful!” Estella’s eyes sparkled.Roxanne followed her gaze, only to see a few tropical fish swimming in a colorful and eye-catching fish tank.“Let’s go and have a look!” Archie and Benny wanted to satisfy Estella’s wish, so they led her to the fish tank.Looking at the children running around happily, Roxanne lifted her head to look at the man at the side.Lucian frowned and said in a deep voice, “You go with

    Lucian knew Roxanne was uneasy about his presence, so he went straight to the couch and quietly read his emails right after he entered the room. Roxanne was playing with the children when a few knocks on the door grabbed her attention. She got up and went to get the door.When she pulled the door open, she saw two waiters pushing a cart, and beside them stood a man who seemed to be the manager. The man was looking at her respectfully.Roxanne was puzzled about the crowd outside her door since they did not order any room service. She instinctively turned to glance at the man sitting quietly on the couch.“Good afternoon. I’m the manager of the hotel, and this is the lunch included in your vouchers. Enjoy your meal,” the manager said with a courteous smile.Comprehension dawned on Roxanne. She immediately thanked the manager and stood aside to let the waiters push the cart into the room.Roxanne called the children over to have lunch after the waiters had set up the table.Lucian, howe

    At the side, Roxanne had also heard Benny’s screams, but by the time she turned, it was too late. The boy had already sought refuge behind Lucian. The sight of the smile on that man’s face while the two of them were together left Roxanne with mixed feelings.As much as she had done for the children, certain forms of security were something only a father could provide.Oblivious to her sentiments, the boy excitedly tugged at her as he wanted her to admire the fish alongside him.Out of nowhere, a mermaid dove from above and waved at them through the gla*s.Wide-eyed, the boys asked Roxanne, “Is this real, Mommy?”Amused by their innocence, Roxanne patted them on the head. “Of course not, but she does look pretty, though.”“Could you dress up like a mermaid too, Mommy?” Benny looked at Roxanne in anticipation.Taken by surprise at first, Roxanne then went on to explain smilingly, “Well, I could, but I think that’d be a paid program.”When the children heard her saying that she could, t

    Roxanne had long guessed Sonya would treat her with an unpleasant attitude. Although she was displeased, she didn’t show it on her face.“It’s Essie and Mr. Farwell’s wishes that Essie stays here. As you’re her grandma, I have nothing to say if you want to bring her back, but I hope you respect Essie’s opinions.”Sonya frowned in displeasure.I’ve already asked Essie just now. I wonder what sorcery Roxanne has cast on her to make her refuse to go home. That’s why I turned to ask Roxanne, but I didn’t expect this woman to be so tactless!Sonya was livid.Just then, Estella spoke. “Grandma, I don’t want to go home. I want to stay here and play with Archie and Benny.”Estella looked at Sonya pitifully.Usually, when Estella wore such an expression, Sonya would have gone along with her wishes. However, she was filled with rage right now, so Estella’s look only added fuel to the fire.“You have to go home even if you don’t want to. You belong to the Farwell family. How can you stay at some

    Ten minutes ago, Catalina had been instructing the rest of the household staff on their chores when she heard the doorbell ring.The moment she opened the door, she saw that it was Sonya.Before Catalina could greet her, Sonya questioned her, “Where’s Essie? Tell Essie to come out. Tell her that her grandma is here.”Catalina was put in a difficult position.Estella had not been in the manor for the past few days.She had thought that the little girl was with Sonya.However, judging from Sonya’s reaction, Catalina knew there and then that Estella was with Roxanne.It was obvious that Sonya must have discovered that, and that explained her anger.As a servant, Catalina did not know how to answer her question. In the end, she replied, “I will inform Mr. Farwell right away.”She was about to go and seek help from Lucian when Sonya stopped her in her tracks.“I want to see Essie. If she doesn’t come down, I will go up myself.”With that, she began to walk upstairs.Catalina had no choice

    “Please wait for a moment as Mrs. Farwell is taking a nap. I’ll tell her you’re here.” After inviting Aubree to sit on the couch in the living hall, the butler was ready to go up to call Sonya.Aubree knitted her brows and responded, “It’s okay. I can go up and check on her.”The butler knew Sonya doted on her. He hesitated but eventually agreed to allow her to go upstairs.Aubree responded with a nod. After plastering a smile on her face, she took the stairs and went up.Sonya had just woken up from her nap in the master bedroom upstairs. Upon hearing a knock on the door, she opened it right away.“Mrs. Farwell.” Aubree grinned politely. “I hope I’m not disturbing you.”Sonya, too, responded with a smile when she realized it was Aubree. “Not at all. I just woke up.”Aubree walked up to her and held her arm affectionately. “I brought you lots of gifts. Let’s go down and check them out.”“Aww, you’re too sweet.” Sonya glanced at her. “You didn’t have to do that. I’m happy that you’re h

    The search lasted the entire morning.The grim-faced Cayden, who returned with his subordinates in the afternoon, said, “We found nothing, Mr. Farwell.”Admittedly, Cory was an excellent private investigator.Cayden could not help but wonder how he had managed to keep in touch with his employers.Not only did Cayden not find any evidence of how the mastermind instructed Cory to spy on Roxanne, but he also could not find proof that could expose Cory’s identity as a private investigator.Cory began playing the sympathy card. “Mr. Farwell, I told you no one instructed me to do anything.”Lucian waited for half a day but did not get the answer he was looking for. His eyes blazed with fury when he saw the pretentious innocent look on the culprit’s face.“If no one put you up to this, why did you stalk her?” he asked.Cory blinked innocently. “B-Because I find Ms. Jarvis attractive. I wished to snap photos of her since I was trying my hand at photography.”He had felt nervous before Cayden

    Meanwhile, Lucian, too, ordered Cayden to investigate the issue.With Farwell Group’s financial capability, the investigation was carried out effortlessly.In less than an hour, Cayden had managed to bring the private investigator to Farwell Group.It was not until the private investigator was led to Farwell Group’s entrance that he realized something was off.“D-Did I do something wrong? Why did you bring me here?”Cayden cast him a cold glance. “Why are you asking me that? I’m not the one who calls the shots here. You’ll find out soon.”The private investigator’s legs trembled when he heard Cayden’s words.The only person who came to mind when he thought of the person who called the shots for Farwell Group was none other than Lucian Farwell.The private investigator had recently been following Roxanne around on Aubree’s orders. During those times, he had indeed seen Roxanne interacting with Lucian.Yet, he paid no mind to that.After all, he was merely doing as instructed. He did no

    Upon hearing that, the doubtful Roxanne and Madilyn exchanged glances.They had spoken to nearly all the research institutes that could develop that specific bacterium in Horington, and only that research institute confirmed that their laboratory had previously lost the bacteria.Although it happened half a month ago, the bacteria could remain viable as long as they were appropriately preserved.Madilyn was aware of that and didn’t hesitate to ask, “How did you guys lose the bacteria back then? Do you guys have any findings now?”The person’s answer did not disappoint them. “One of the researchers should have taken it,” he said frankly.Madilyn was filled with confusion when she heard that.“Although we have no solid evidence, we were certain about that. Two days after the bacteria went missing, that researcher suddenly quit. We haven’t heard from her since then,” the person continued.Before Madilyn could speak, Roxanne asked, “What’s the name of that researcher?”The person on the o

    At the side, Estella had her head lifted and gazed at Roxanne, looking hopeful.Roxanne’s gaze flickered. Only after obtaining Lucian’s promise did she forcibly suppress the worry within her.“Got it. I’ll take good care of Essie for the next few days.”Lucian indifferently inclined his head a fraction in acknowledgment. Shortly after, he took his leave and left.Roxanne watched as his car disappeared into the distance before bringing Archie, Benny, and Estella into the mansion.All three children were already starving to the point that their stomachs growled incessantly.Without tarrying, Roxanne prepared some quick and easy breakfast to fill their stomachs first.After having breakfast, she had the children play by themselves while she stood up and went into the study.She simply couldn’t sit back and do nothing about the person who used the bacteria on the children.Worse still, Lucian left Estella at her place. Hence, she wanted to catch the culprit as soon as possible to eliminat

    “Have you and the kids been here?”Lucian came to a stop under a gigantic tree.Stopping with him, Roxanne looked around before shaking her head. “No.”That tree was located at the edge of the woods.Yesterday, she had been with Archie, Benny, and Estella in the woods or by the waterfall.As such, they indeed hadn’t been to that particular spot.Nodding in understanding, Lucian motioned for her to take a look at the bottom of the tree.Roxanne followed his gaze and took a closer look, upon which she made out a vague footprint.From the looks of it, it obviously belonged to an adult.As the footprints moved toward the edge of the gra*sy area, they grew increasingly faint.Therefore, she had no way of knowing whether the owner of those footprints had gone anywhere near the tent.However, it was certain that someone else was there yesterday other than her and the children.In fact, that person had been watching from the side while she was playing with the children.That realization had a

    After Archie, Benny, and Estella had dozed off, Roxanne turned off the small night light in the tent.Consequently, the tent was pitch-dark right then, and she had no idea whether Lucian was asleep on the other side.Well, I didn’t hear any movement in a long time, so he has probably gone to sleep.At that thought, Roxanne quietly got up and left the tent. She sat outside under the moonlight alone and stared blankly into space.The weather had been great for the past two days. The moon shone brightly, but there weren’t many stars in the sky.For safety reasons, Lucian had the headlights turned on, illuminating the tent’s surroundings and rendering it like daylight.As Roxanne looked at the scenery around her, her mind gradually began drifting.Too many things had happened that day.At first, the children suddenly contracted a bacterial infection. Then, she inexplicably ended up in the same space as Lucian.Both of the incidents had her emotions turn into a jumbled mess.While she was
