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

    Aubree arrived in Bellridge at noon. On her way there, she called Sonya to find out where Lucian was staying. After getting off the plane, she headed straight. to the hotel..When she arrived and saw the hotel entrance, suspicion filled her mind, and she frowned.Given Lucian’s status, he should be staying at a five-star hotel at the very least whenever he was on business trips. Even though the hotel before her was considered respectable, it did not fit his status.Unless… his reason for coming here was to find that b*tch.Aubree’s heart sank as she thought about this. She quickly walked to the front desk and asked, “Hi, I’m looking for someone. Can I trouble you to help me find out which room Lucian Farwell is staying in?”The receptionist looked at her and was about to ask about her relationship with him when she immediately added, “I’m his fiancée. I called him just now, and he told me his room number.But I don’t have a good memory and forgot what he said. I don’t want to call him

    Lucian’s room number was only a digit different from Roxanne’s room number.Aubree tried hard to convince herself that it was only coincidental that the two were staying on the floor.However, she couldn’t accept that they were staying next door to each other now that she saw it with her own eyes.Now, Aubree could no longer persuade herself that this was a coincidence.Back in her room, Roxanne’s expression looked grim as she spaced out on the bed.Roxanne never imagined she would encounter Lucian here. Moreover, she never expected Aubree to come after him.It was beyond Roxanne’s imagination how things would turn out if the three met.A faint scowl appeared on Roxanne’s face. Wasting no time, she stood up and started to pack her luggage.She decided that she would avoid any trouble which she couldn’t bear the consequences.After all, she had nothing left to do in Bellridge. Thus, it didn’t matter when she left.Halfway through packing, she heard a knock on the door.Roxanne stood up

    Roxanne must have left in a rush because of Aubree’s unannounced arrival.“This is my room. Of course I’m here. As for you, what are you doing here?” Lucian’s expression turned icy.Aubree looked away with guilt. “Oh, it’s nothing. I have some work to do here in Bellridge, and Mrs. Farwell told me you’re here for a business trip. So I’m here to see you.”“Does Pearson Group have a project here in Bellridge? Why didn’t I know that?” Lucian showed no mercy and exposed her.In recent years, Farwell Group had been acting as the middleman for many projects for Pearson Group. Hence, it was natural for Lucian to know of their businesses.Aubree’s expression changed, and she clenched her fists. She steeled herself and said, “We only started negotiating recently. It’s not a done deal yet. I came here to give it a try.”Aubree was afraid Lucian would continue digging into it, so she immediately changed the topic. “Oh, right, why are you staying in this kind of hotel?

    Why did you leave in a hurry? I didn’t hear you mentioning going back to Horington when we had breakfast.” Lucian’s voice rang from the side, histone unfathomable.Scowling, Roxanne turned over and answered him coldly with another question, “Mr.Farwell, I’m also curious why would you leave your fiancée behind in Bell ridge and go back to Horington by yourself?”— At the mention of his fiancée, Lucian’s gaze darkened.She pretended that she hadn’t noticed the change in his expression as she continued, “Mr.Farwell, you’re going to get married soon.You should spend more time with your fiancée at this critical juncture.”When Lucian was about to reply to her, the woman next to him took out a small blanketand covered herself with it up to her face.She then turned her back to him and lay down.Through the blanket, her muffled voice sounded.“I’m tired.I need to rest.Mr.Farwell, please be quiet.” With that, she closed her eyes, and Lucian could only see the back of her head.In the end,

    Roxanne frowned, but she didn’t urge him to move aside.When almost of the people got off the plane, Lucian rose to his feet placidly.The two then got off the plane one after the other.Meanwhile, Larry and Cayden were already waiting for them outside.While they were on the plane just now, Larry saw Lucian sitting next to Roxanne, but the plane had takenoff, so he couldn’t do anything about it.Upon seeing Lucian, Larry merely greeted the former out of courtesy, then turned to look at Roxanne.“You don’t have a car.I’ll send you back.” Roxanne replied with a smile, “Thanks, Larry.”As she spoke, she completely ignored the man beside her and strode over to Larry’s side.Seeing the woman, who had been giving him the cold shoulder, smile at another man, Lucian was naturally displeased and extended hishand to grab her wrist.The smile on Roxanne’s face gradually faded as she turned around to face Lucian.“Mr. Farwell, what else do you want?” Lucian gazed into her eyes, but he couldn’t

    Not long after, the car rolled to a stop before a beach.

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

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

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!

    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.
