The next morning, Roxanne was still fast asleep when a knock sounded on her door.

“Mommy!” Benny’s childish voice called out from outside her bedroom. “Mommy, wake up!”

The noise jolted Roxanne awake, and she quickly sat up. Thinking that the children were calling her because something had happened, she hurried over to open the door without even brushing up.

When she opened the door, Archie and Benny greeted her with an innocent look. Looking up at Roxanne with puppy eyes, they whined, “Mommy, will you send us to the kindergarten today?”

Their eyes were filled with anticipation.

By then, Roxanne was fully awake.

Upon hearing the boys’ question, Roxanne was reminded of the disappointed looks on their faces the night before.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Roxanne finally agreed, “You boys go ahead and have breakfast first. I’ll be down in a few. After breakfast, I’ll send you two to the kindergarten.”

Archie’s and Benny’s eyes lit up. Nodding obediently, they immediately trotted dow

  • The abandoned Wife    Children's Concerns and Unspoken Wishes

    Over the next few days, Roxanne bustled around in preparation for the medical consultation.Her understanding of the Damaris family was limited to mere rumors and the forum forwarded by Harvey.However, all that wasn’t quite enough for her.The opportunity this time was truly too rare for her. If she wanted to take advantage of it, she needed to make preparations as much as possible.Consequently, she had become a regular visitor to the Queen residence in the past few days. Alfred admired her greatly, so he answered every question she asked about the Damaris family.After they finished chatting about the Damaris family, Alfred had Roxanne help him to his seat. Then, he ventured solemnly, “Previously, I tried to feel you and Jonathan out, but neither of you has feelings for the other. I know that. But it’s still not done for you to raise two children by yourself. Is there someone you like? Tell me, and I might be able to give you some suggestions.”Roxanne was inevitably stunned when t

    Speaking of Estella, Roxanne couldn’t help feeling somewhat distressed. The smile on her face turned a touch forced.Estella was unhappy because of her, yet she could only have Archie and Benny mollify the girl on her behalf.As Archie and Benny clocked her expression, their eyes dimmed. Self-reproach was written all over their faces. “We’re sorry, Mommy.”Roxanne’s brows furrowed in bafflement when they apologized all of a sudden.Benny muttered weakly, “We shouldn’t have thrown a tantrum with you because of Essie. You must also be very tired every day, Mommy. Don’t worry. We’ll do our best to make her happy henceforth!”“Just focus on your work, Mommy. We’ll take good care of Essie!” Archie echoed.Roxanne beamed in gratification. “Thank you, Darlings.”“But it’ll be far better if you can go and visit Essie, Mommy,” Benny added in a whisper.After saying that, he was afraid that Roxanne heard him, so he smilingly announced, “It’s okay even if you can’t visit her. We’ll help take goo

    As Larry and Roxanne conversed, the car arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.After Larry parked the car, the two of them entered the restaurant and sat down by the window.Larry had made a reservation long ago, so the food was served no sooner had they taken their seats.While eating, they talked about the Damaris family’s medical consultation.“News of the Damaris family’s medical consultation is usually circulated within closed circles. How did you learn about it?” Larry couldn’t resist querying.Roxanne had nothing to hide, so she admitted, “I initially had no idea about it and was already planning to go abroad. But when I went to the Queen residence to thank them two days ago, Old Mr. Queen suddenly brought it up to me. That’s why I decided to stay a bit longer in Chanaea.”When Larry heard that, he frowned. “Go abroad?”In response, Roxanne chortled airily. “As you can see, the research institute is targeted by Farwell Group with me here. Rather than staying in Chanaea and

    After hanging up the phone, Roxanne hesitated before driving toward the kindergarten.The kindergarten ended at five o’clock in the afternoon, and the teachers led the children out of their respective cla*srooms uniformly, waiting for their parents to pick them up.Archie and Benny accompanied Estella at the back of the line. As the boys watched her look at the crowd expectantly, they looked at each other with concerned faces.“Look at me, Essie. I can turn into a bird!” Benny tried to attract Estella’s attention. As he spoke, he shaped his fingers into the shape of a bird and showed it to Estella.Alas, Estella merely glanced at his hands absent-mindedly before turning her gaze toward the crowd again. She seemed to be looking for someone.It could be her imagination, but she could feel Roxanne watching her. However, she couldn’t find her.When Archie and Benny noticed that Estella didn’t bother to look at them, they weren’t discouraged. Instead, they still tried their best to cheer E

    The boys thought they guessed it right and stopped being angry. Instead, they comforted Roxanne, “Mommy, if you don’t want to see Mr. Farwell, then don’t. We will take good care of Essie!”Since Lucian was cruel enough to leave the boys and Roxanne behind, they didn’t want to see him either.Proud of her two sons, Roxanne smiled gently and said, “I know you will. I saw.”When the boys heard her, they took the credit proudly.The atmosphere in the car became lively.Roxanne’s mood also became relaxed. She would respond to the boys patiently no matter what they said to her.After they got home, Roxanne even cooked with Lysa, which was considered a rare occasion, and prepared a sumptuous dinner for the children.After dinner, Roxanne played with them for a while. Then, she returned to her room when the boys were fast asleep.Her emotions ran wild when she thought of the look on Estella’s face when she saw her in the afternoon.When Estella came to see me before, she was full of joy.Howe

    Suddenly, the atmosphere in the living room turned tense.Noticing that both Roxanne and Lucian didn’t seem like they were willing to start a conversation, Jonathan’s head started hurting. He had gone through so much just to create an opportunity for them to meet, but it seemed like it was not helpful at all.Jonathan had no idea why Lucian agreed to this in the first place.Even with a headache, Jonathan still had to do something to liven up the atmosphere.“The medical consultation with the Damaris family is this weekend. How are your preparations, Dr. Jarvis?” This was Jonathan’s attempt in starting a conversation.Roxanne pursed her lips and smiled. “I’ve already prepared whatever I could think of. If there aren’t any unexpected incidents, it should go along smoothly even if I don’t perform extraordinarily.”Jonathan glanced at the man sitting next to him, hoping that he would at least contribute to the conversation.Alas, his hopes were crushed as Lucian acted as though he did no

    Lucian’s brows knitted into a tight knot as he replied in a low voice, “Okay. I’ll do my best to control myself.”Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk toward Alfred’s room. “I think that Grandpa should be awake now. Let’s go inside. To be honest, he will be incredibly happy to see you since you have not been able to visit for a long time.”“I really was pretty busy recently,” Lucian said as he caught up with Jonathan.“And yet, you still had the time to go to Summerbank with Dr. Jarvis,” Jonathan teased.When Lucian recalled the events that had happened in that particular city, his face darkened. “I just happen to have work to take care of in Summerbank.”Jonathan smiled wordlessly.The two men walked over to Alfred’s room, and Jonathan raised a hand to knock on the door. After hearing Alfred’s voice from inside the room, they opened the door and walked in.“Grandpa, Lucian is here to see you,” Jonathan said to Alfred with a smile after entering the room.“Hello, Old

    After watching Roxanne leave, Lucian’s gaze darkened. The next moment, he stood up casually and said, “Old Mr. Queen, I suddenly remembered that I have to settle something at the office. I’m really relieved to see that you’re recovering well. If there’s nothing else, I shall make a move too.”Alfred furrowed his brows slightly when he heard that. He remembered Lucian telling him that he was free those two days. As such, he found it strange that the man suddenly said that he was busy.However, Alfred was understanding, knowing that Lucian was responsible for the entire Farwell Group.“I had wanted to ask you to stay for dinner, but since you’re busy, I won’t keep you here any longer. You should get going now. Work is more important,” Alfred said before continuing earnestly, “Remember to get enough rest and take care of your health.”Lucian agreed and turned to leave.When Jonathan saw that his friend was going off, he stood up immediately and followed Lucian. “Wait! I’ll walk you out.”

    Meanwhile, Roxanne was still lost in a daze. “Madilyn, what…”Cocking a brow, Madilyn stepped aside to usher them in. “Come onboard. I’m here to pick you up.”Roxanne was blown away by the words.Is she asking us to get in the helicopter and leave just like that? We might be able to escape this time, but what about when the reporters come for us again?When she saw Roxanne remaining motionless, the puzzled Madilyn urged her, “Hurry up! What are you still hesitating for? Whatever concerns you have, we’ll discuss it on board.”She extended her hand while speaking.With the helicopter hovering right before her eyes, Roxanne realized that Madilyn’s effort would go to waste if she didn’t get on.Holding that thought, Roxanne took the latter’s hand. Given how close the helicopter was, all she needed to do was take a step forward to board it.After carrying Estella over, Roxanne turned around to do the same with the boys. Little did she expect them to be raring to go.Reciprocating their ent

    It wasn’t until Lucian heard Madilyn’s words that he realized her point and stopped in his tracks.“This whole incident might just blow over if you don’t show up, but it will definitely worsen if you make an appearance. If that happens, they might even swarm Farwell Group along with Roxanne’s house!” Madilyn reminded him.She knew the mentality of those journalists all too well.Lucian clenched his fists so tightly that his veins were bulging from underneath his skin. “What should I do, then?” he asked while trying to suppress his anger.I wouldn’t have acted so impulsively if I knew this would happen!Madilyn rolled her eyes at him in response. Why is he asking us for a solution when he’s the one who caused all this?“Mr. Farwell, how about we send someone over to get Mrs. Farwell out of there?” Cayden suggested cautiously.“How are you going to do that? There are so many journalists around!” Madilyn snapped at him.Cayden fell silent and flashed her an awkward look in response.“If

    News about the Farwell family’s two additional young heirs, who were given birth by Lucian’s ex-wife, caused an uproar in Horington.Of course, the journalists took action almost immediately. No one knew how they got the information, but they found and swarmed around Roxanne’s research institute and mansion.Roxanne was still asleep when she received a call from Linda telling her not to leave the house that day.When Roxanne received that call, she was still in a daze.However, the moment she got out of bed and saw the crowd outside, she panicked.The crowd was clearly there because of Farwell Group’s statement yesterday.Noticing her room’s curtains were pulled open, the crowd downstairs hurriedly focused their cameras in the direction of her room window and began snapping pictures.Shocked, Roxanne hastily drew her curtains.At the same time, her phone rang again.She grabbed it to take a glance, only to see it was from an unknown number.Suspicious, she answered it.

    “It was Lucian who let Essie stay with me. So, if you want to take her away, you’ll have to get his consent first,” Roxanne emphasized without a change in her expression.The little girl in her embrace immediately chimed in, “I’ll do what Daddy says!”As Sonya watched the mother and daughter duo presenting a united front, she felt her temples throb.After all, her son had already made such a statement. The answer she would get could not be more obvious if she made the call.Roxanne’s saying that because she has no plans to let me take my granddaughter away! Most importantly, my son is siding with her. Ugh! I can’t do anything about it.After waiting for some time and seeing that Sonya didn’t take any action, Roxanne said, “If you don’t want to make the call, then please leave now. It’s getting late, and the children are hungry. I don’t have the energy to prepare another person’s portion.”With that, Roxanne put Estella down and gestured for the boys to take Estella upstairs.Once the

    Originally, Sonya did not intend to cause trouble for Roxanne at such an hour.Yet she did not expect her son to release such a shocking announcement on the internet, and she only found out while she was having dinner.Sonya was so incensed that she didn’t even finish dinner. After throwing her cutleries in a rage, she set off and drove to Roxanne’s house.She was determined to make Lucian and Estella cut ties with Roxanne as soon as possible.Now that Sonya saw how dependent Estella was on Roxanne, her anger was further fueled.“Roxanne Jarvis, give me back my granddaughter,” she uttered frostily as if Roxanne had snatched Estella away from her.Sensing Estella’s nervousness, Roxanne gripped the former’s hand to soothe her anxiety. Next, Roxanne lifted her head to face the woman opposite her.If this had happened in the past, Roxanne might not know how to respond to a demand like this.However, things were different now. She was Estella’s mother, so she had the right to keep Estella

    The boys were exhilarated for nearly the whole day after seeing the announcement in the morning.When night fell, Roxanne had just stepped into the house when Archie and Benny flung themselves at her in excitement. “Mommy!”She was slightly perplexed by their gleeful demeanor. “What’s going on? Did something nice happen in the kindergarten?”As soon as she ended her sentence, she glanced at Estella and was puzzled. If something did happen in the kindergarten, why isn’t Essie acting the same way as them?Upon detecting his mother’s confusion, Archie said, “Didn’t you see the news on the internet?”That confounded Roxanne even further. What news on the internet?Excitedly, Benny added, “Mr. Farwell claimed that we’re his children, just like Essie!”Did I hear that right? Lucian said Archie and Benny are his children? How’s that possible? Roxanne was stunned.He could tell his mother was befuddled, so he grabbed the laptop, clicked on a public forum, and showed it to her.Farwell Group’s

    Jonathan’s jaw dropped open in disbelief. If they aren’t his, why does he look so calm in comparison to me, who is freaking out?“What are you thinking?” He shot Lucian an incredulous look. “If you want to help Roxanne by stopping the haters online, then you can just publicize your relationship with her and issue warning letters through your lawyer. Why would you do this?”If it was revealed that the CEO of Farwell Group had claimed to be the biological father of his ex-wife’s children even though they were not his, no one would believe it. It sounded pretty ridiculous, but that was exactly what Lucian did.“If I only did that, the netizens will still a*sume the worst about the boys’ father.” Displeasure flashed across Lucian’s eyes as he explained, “The kids are innocent. If she’s willing to marry me, it will only be a matter of time before the boys become mine, too.”Lucian knew very well that the last thing Roxanne wanted was to drag the kids into her mess, so he was more than wil

    The medicinal herb company owned by the Damaris family was mainly run by their own people, leaving outsiders nothing but envy. Lucian went silent after hearing that.However, that piqued Jonathan’s interest. “Why? Is Roxanne working with the Damaris family again? Do you need my help with anything?”Lucian managed to detect the hint of derision in his voice and snickered. “Go on and acquire the Damaris family’s medicinal herbs company if you’d really like to help.”Jonathan rubbed his nose sheepishly and said, “Well, anything but that.”“Then there’s nothing you can do. Bye.”Lucian hung up the call right after that.Jonathan’s face was full of reproach as he watched his phone screen go dark.That was the second time Lucian had woken him up in the middle of the night and hung up after dropping a bomb on him.It had taken him considerable effort to finally drift off to sleep.Great.
