Since she has no intention of acknowledging her daughter, I might as well go along with her wishes.

Taken aback by Lucian’s tone, Estella was briefly stunned before she pouted and wrote in her notebook: Why?

Before he could reply, she quickly wrote: I like her very much, and she is kind and gentle to me. I want to be together with her!

Despite Lucian’s sympathy for her when he saw how much she liked Roxanne, they had no choice but to face reality. He replied indifferently, “That’s because she has children of her own and doesn’t need another child.”

Estella was confused by his reply.

I know that the two boys are her sons, but she has still been very nice to me. However, Daddy seems to hate her.

Estella couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

When he saw her fall silent, Lucian instructed his assistant to drive.

After leaving the Queen residence, he felt a tug on his sleeve, causing him to look over at Estella with knitted brows.

She wrote: In that case, where is my mommy?

    After going into the details a little more, Roxanne realized it was getting late when she checked the time.Thinking of her two sons waiting for her at home, she got up to leave. “I think it’s time for me to go, but I’ll be coming back tomorrow. In the meantime, call me if Old Mr. Queen has any problems.”With that, she headed to the door with her medical bag in hand.Glancing at Roxanne’s leaving silhouette, Jonathan called out to her, “Dr. Jarvis, other than treating Grandpa, I’m sure you have some other reason for being here.”Stopping abruptly in her tracks, Roxanne suddenly remembered her objective for coming over.But Old Mr. Queen hasn’t recovered fully yet. So, Jonathan…When Jonathan saw her stop, he softened his tone. “Don’t you want to talk about it first before leaving?”Jonathan’s intentions couldn’t be more obvious.Even though she didn’t bring up the matter of medicine supply, he was cognizant of her agenda. In fact, he was also interested in exploring the matter with h

    The moment the three of them saw Roxanne, they dropped the Lego in their hands and welcomed her home together.“Mommy!”The two boys threw themselves into her arms and asked in a concerned tone, “Why did youcome back so late? All of us are already sleepy.”.Both of them yawned with their eyes about to close.Roxanne tousled their hair. “I’m sorry for letting all of you wait that long.”Raising her gaze, she wanted to thank Madilyn.Sensing what she was about to say, Madilyn waved her hands. “Don’t worry about it. Both of them are my godsons after all. As for you, have you had your dinner yet? It’s already so late!”Roxanne shook her head. “I didn’t manage to eat, as I was caught up with work.”She had lost track of time while treating Alfred and discussing the supply of medicine with Jonathan.However, now that Roxanne had reminded her of it, she began to feel her stomach growling.Madilyn gave her an annoyed look. “I knew this would happen whenever you’re busy. Therefore, I set asid

    Cognizant that Madilyn had helped her pick up the boys two days in a row, Roxanne planned to pick them up herself that day. Thus, she headed to the Queen residence in the afternoon after finishing her work in the morning.After she arrived, she examined Alfred to make sure there weren’t any complications before continuing his treatment by inserting needles.While waiting for the time to remove the needles, Jonathan approached with a document in hand. “Dr. Jarvis, here’s the contract I’ve prepared. If you’re fine with the terms, you can just sign on it.”Roxanne wasn’t surprised, as that was what they discussed the night before. After going through the document in detail, she placed her signature at the bottom.With the contract signed, Jonathan’s attitude toward her grew warmer. “From now on, we have become partners. Nevertheless, we’ll still need your help with regards to Grandpa’s condition.”Roxanne nodded in acknowledgment. “That’s the least I can do.”After a brief chat, Roxanne

    At the same time, Estella, too, threw her a hopeful gaze.Faced with the look in Estella’s eyes. Roxanne, who was about to decline, couldn’t bring herself to say it. In the end, she swallowed her words and nodded at the teacher.In response, Estella’s eyes glistened as she discreetly leaned into Roxanne while holding the latter’s sleeveFrom afar, it looked as if she was leaning in Roxanne’s arms.Sensing the slight movement, Roxanne didn’t stop her nor show her any attention. Instead, she discussed the boys’ affairs with the teacher as if she didn’t realize anything.“I remember that you came back from overseas together with Archie and Benny. Considering that they grew up overseas, I’m surprised at how well they speak Chanaean.”Since the chat was just an excuse, the teacher talked about trivial matters, as Archie and Benny’s performances in class were so impressive that there was nothing to complain about.Roxanne nodded with a smile. “That’s because there were still many Chanaeans

    Meanwhile. Lucian didn’t notice the boys in the car as he strode into the kindergarten, well aware that he was late.The moment he stepped in, he saw two figures by the slide together with Estella, who had squeezed herself into Roxanne’s arms by then.“Mr. Farwell, you’re here!” the teacher greeted respectfully when she saw Lucian.Lucian nodded in acknowledgment as he walked up to them. After throwing his daughter a glance, he stared coldly at Roxanne. “Why are you here?”Sensing his hostility, Roxanne knitted her brows in confusion.The teacher then looked at them in surprise, “Do you know each other?”Just a while ago, she had assumed that Roxanne didn’t know Estella.However, considering how dependent Estella was on Roxanne, she figured that it wasn’t such a surprise at all.After nodding at the teacher without answering the question, Roxanne shifted her attention toward Lucian. “I came here to pick my boys up. It was your daughter who refused to let go of my clothes, forcing me t

    Lucian arched his brow at her body language. “You getting mad isn’t going to change my mind.”Estella furiously snapped her head to him and shot him a death glare.Daddy is the worst! I hate Daddy the most! I like the beautiful Ms. Jarvis and Archie and Benny. Why did Daddy have to fight with her and even forbade Archie and Benny to attend kindergarten?Estella was crestfallen at the thought of never being able to see Archie and Benny at the kindergarten anymore.Daddy is too unreasonable! I don’t want to like him anymore!Estella sulked the whole way back.She ignored Lucian who was trailing after her and dashed up the stairs to her room without one glance back at him. After slamming the door, she even locked the door angrily.Catalina was standing at the door when the father and daughter arrived, so she noticed Estella’s angry mood. When she shifted her gaze to the expressionless Lucian walking behind Estella, she knew they were once again at outs with each other.“Mr. Farwell, what

    Roxanne didn’t know how to answer her at that moment.Yesterday, the boys’ teacher did tell me Estella liked following the boys around. However, I neverthought she’ll be bold enough to take a cab to my house alone just so she can play with them. Moreover, she can’t speak. If she met some bad people on the way here…Roxanne didn’t dare to think about what would happen.“Mommy?” Archie and Benny had been waiting inside for a while and didn’t see Roxanne come back in, so they came out to have a look.When they saw the little girl at their front door, they had the same reaction as Roxanne. “What … are you doing here?”Estella was about to scribble in her notebook when Roxanne explained on her behalf, “Essie just wanted to play with you guys.”Archie looked around at Roxanne’s explanation, thinking he would see his dad, but there wasn’t an adult man anywhere.“How did she get here?” Archie flitted his gaze to Roxanne.Roxanne replied resignedly, “She took a cab here alone.”Even I have a

    Lucian scoffed internally at the thought of how she had escaped his previous antics. “What do you want?” he asked in the same frigid tone the woman used.Roxanne glanced at the little girl beside her. What’s with that tone? I would’ve hung up right away if it weren’t for the child!“Essie came looking for me first thing in the morning. Come and get her if you’re free. Or you can tell me your address, and I’ll take her there.”Upon hearing that, Lucian furrowed his brows slightly. “Give me your address.”“32, Durwest Garden.”The man hung up right after that.Roxanne breathed an internal sigh of relief as she watched her screen turn black. She turned toward the little girl standing beside her, saying, “Your daddy’s coming over to pick you up. Be a good girl and go home with him, okay?”Estella nodded but secretly began pondering over her next move.She had finally gotten the chance to be with this pretty lady and didn’t want to have to leave so soon.But Daddy’s on his way here.

    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.

    It was already past nine at night when Roxanne reached home. As she got out of the car, she felt anxious and guilty for leaving the children alone at home.Hence, she hurried into the mansion, but as soon as she entered, she was greeted with the lively sounds of the children playing with each other and running around.Roxanne stopped in her tracks and looked inside the living room, surprised.Initially, she thought Madilyn had come over, but Lucian was sitting on the couch instead.As if sensing her presence, the man turned around to look.When their gazes met, Roxanne’s shock intensified. “What are you doing here?”Didn’t we agree on meeting some other day?Upon noticing her return, the children stopped playing and gathered around her, yearning for affection.“Mommy, you came home so late! Daddy’s been waiting for a long time!”Roxanne ruffled the children’s hair, but her gaze was still locked on Lucian.Lucian sat on the couch, crossing his legs. The button on his collar was undone

    Lucian had mentioned visiting Roxanne in the past few days, but she rejected him by saying she had work to do. When he heard Estella mention that Roxanne was rarely home, he finally realized how hard she had been working recently.“Are you free tomorrow at noon? Let’s have lunch together,” Lucian suggested.He was determined to let Roxanne get some rest.Roxanne fell silent for a few moments when she heard the time he mentioned before replying apologetically, “Sorry, I’m not free.”Lucian frowned. “Why? Is there work that you have to complete?”Roxanne scratched her nose sheepishly. “I’ve promised to meet up with Mr. Damaris for lunch tomorrow to discuss a project.”Jack Damaris?Lucian’s expression instantly darkened.We’ve hardly been in contact these few days, and yet she’s been contacting him?What the elderlies from the nursing home said echoed in Lucian’s mind once again.After all, he and Roxanne did not work in the same industry.

The restaurant was near the research institute. Due to the closeness of both locations, Roxanne thought she could head back to do some more work if their meeting ended early.Something in the research institute held her up, so Jonathan and Frieda were already waiting in the private room by the time she arrived.“I’m sorry, Dr. Jarvis. Did I interrupt your work?”Despite addressing Roxanne by her name in front of Lucian, Jonathan was mindful of his behavior and addressed her politely when she was present.Roxanne offered him a polite smile.
