Clashing Allegiances

When Estella saw Roxanne, there would be no way that she would let the latter leave so easily as well.Since the situation was out of the norm that day, the only reason for it would be that Roxanne saw the news.So is she avoiding me because she saw the news?Thinking of that, Lucian felt an inexplicable sense of displeasure deep down.Throughout the entire journey, the atmosphere in the car was depressing.Once they reached home, they saw that there was someone sitting in the living room. At that, Lucian couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly. “Mom, what are you doing here?”After Sonya left the café in the afternoon, she initially wanted to find Lucian for a chat at his office. But after giving it some thought, she decided not to interrupt him at work and headed to the manor to wait for him to come back.She waited for an entire afternoon but never had she expected that he would have such an attitude the moment he stepped in.Sonya, who was initially displeased, became even mor

Tangled Expectations

Before Lucian had the chance to reply, Sonya got up and strode off.After sitting in the living room for a while, Lucian instructed Catalina to get Estella down for dinner.Estella had been staying in her room obediently, thinking about what Sonya just said. She was full of anticipation as she fantasized about what it would be like if Roxanne became her mother.During dinner, she couldn’t help but ask, “Daddy, are you going to marry Ms. Jarvis?”She then gazed at him expectantly.Ever since Estella came back, she only said a few words every time although she spoke quite a lot with him. That was the first time that she said such a long sentence to him.Lucian was taken aback before he realized what Estella was asking. As he thought about Estella’s attitude toward Roxanne, he was curious and asked, “Do you like her?”As expected, Estella nodded.I like Ms. Jarvis the most!When he saw the joy on Estella’s face the moment she mentioned Roxanne, Lucian frowned slightly. “What do you like

Entwined Fates: Untangling Misunderstandings

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

Intersecting Paths: A Clash of Pasts

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

Intersecting Paths: A Clash

“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

Echoes of the Past: Unraveling Ties in the Present

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

Entangled Echoes: Past Encounters in the Present Light

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

Unspoken Echoes: The Weight of Silence and Unforeseen Bonds

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

Unspoken Affinities: Echoes of Bonds and Silent Complications

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

The Unforeseen Bond: Navigating the Web of Relationships

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.
