Bound by Shadows

Everyone heard Jessica clearly. Of course, they did not know much about the medical field. Hence, they merely nodded at Jessica’s remarks.After all, they had the perception that accomplished doctors would typically be in their fifties. People would not normally a*sociate a young and beautiful woman like Roxanne with being an accomplished doctor in the medical field.Jessica’s hand edged closer and closer to Roxanne’s face. The latter’s face turned cold. She was ready to swat off Jessica’s hand at any moment right then.However, before Roxanne could do so, a large hand struck first and immobilized Jessica’s hand.The man clutching her hand had evidently exerted a considerable amount of force, so much so that Jessica lost her balance and staggered a few steps back and missed Roxanne’s face.“You could consult Dr. Lambert if you have any doubts about her medical skills, or you could also ask Old Mr. Queen. I believe he will have an answer for you.” Lucian threw a scornful look at the t

Strategic Compromises

Roxanne could feel the air growing still right then. Needless to say, it was because of Lucian.Roxanne clenched her fist and told herself repeatedly not to turn around and watch. She wanted to pretend that Lucian was not there at all.His question had made her squirm uneasily. At the thought of his out-of-place confession, Roxanne was worried that he might make more unreasonable demands.Meanwhile, Jack frowned when he saw that the driver was running late.“Let me make a call,” Jack said as he took out his phone.The next moment, Lucian’s voice rang out. “Since Mr. Damaris’ driver is going to take some time, I could send you home if you don’t mind, Ms. Jarvis.”Roxanne tensed up once again and turned around immediately to reject his offer. “That won’t be necessary. I’ve already made the arrangement with Mr. Damaris. Feel free to leave first if you’re in a rush, Mr. Farwell!”Then Roxanne scurried to Jack’s side.She did not wish to be alone with Lucian, afraid that he might say anyt

Tangled Emotions

Jack’s gaze gradually darkened as he stared at their leaving figures from behind. Their current relationship is genuinely baffling me. I can see that Lucian inclines to win Roxanne back, but I cannot figure out her stance. Complicated emotions surged within Jack when he was reminded of Roxanne’s appearance as she stood under the lights earlier. She’s clueless about my feelings.Along the way, Lucian wrapped his hand around Roxanne’s wrist tightly.He exerted a great force on her wrist and caused her to be in pain.“Let go of me!”She tried to break free of his grip, but her futile attempt merely prompted him to grab her more closely and firmly.Lucian decided never to let go of her hand anymore because when he had done so earlier, Roxanne almost approached another man.She had no choice but to give up after a few times of struggling in vain and having her complaints disregarded by Lucian the whole time.As a result, she allowed him to drag her along to the roadside.The driver had al

Echoes Of Tension

Roxanne soon recognized the inappropriateness of her words after she was done talking. She was under the a*sumption that Lucian would retort what she said coldly but didn’t hear his voice even after some time.Amidst the silence, the atmosphere inside the car grew more unfavorable.Just as Roxanne was about to speak further, Lucian’s slightly resigned voice sounded. “If that’s the case, please treat me the same way you treat your other suitors, and don’t be prejudiced against anyone.”He contemplated for a long while and had no choice but to concede.When Roxanne heard that, her heart instantly clenched. She even doubted if her ears were playing tricks on her. How could someone as proud and arrogant as Lucian say something like that?“If Mr. Morrison is the other suitor you’re talking about, Ms. Jarvis, please treat me the same way you treat him. After all, we’ve known one another for almost as long as you are acquainted with Mr. Morrison.”Lucian pinched between his brows with inexp

Waking to Laughter

After taking several seconds to recollect herself, Roxanne finally replied: I had already promised her I would go to the concert. What’s the meaning of this, Mr. Farwell? Lucian’s reply came almost instantly. It read: I just figured you’d be busy handling the collaboration with the Damaris family for these couple of days. I won’t force you to attend the concert if you don’t have the time.A conjecture formed in her mind when she read the last sentence.It must be because of what I said in the car about not forcing himself that made him bring this up suddenly. From his point of view, I was forced to agree to attend the concert because Essie kept inviting me over and over again. Is he trying to make up for past mistakes, then?The thought of Lucian making changes because of what she said earlier gave her a strange feeling. In fact, she almost believed what he said about wanting to pursue her.Realizing what she was thinking, Roxanne immediately snapped out of her daze and recollected h

Conflicted Consideration

Roxanne chuckled when she heard Madilyn grumbling. Pulling the children into her embrace, Madilyn said with a sigh, “It’s been such a busy month, but I’m already feeling much better after seeing these two kiddos.”With that, she forcefully planted kisses on the boys’ cheeks, only to be shoved away by them in disdain.“Let’s go out and play tomorrow! We haven’t spent much time together ever since you guys returned. It’s my day off tomorrow. I can take all of you out for the entire day,” Madilyn suggested, looking expectant.The boys’ eyes lit up at the idea of going out to play. They instantly turned to Roxanne to hear her response.Roxanne felt conflicted when she was met by the trio’s expectant gazes. “I’m afraid tomorrow is a no-no.”The moment those words left her mouth, the trio’s faces fell simultaneously.Madilyn stared at Roxanne with an exaggerated expression. “Don’t tell me you’re working tomorrow.”Roxanne shook her head. “No,” was all she replied, leaving Madilyn even more

Entwined Fates: Unforeseen Encounters

After giving her advice, Madilyn suddenly asked, “So? Was I right? Is Lucian really pursuing you?” Shocked by her best friend’s exaggerated tone, Roxanne froze for a few seconds before returning to her senses. She smiled nonchalantly. “I have no idea what he is thinking. Maybe he’s trying to get close to me because Estella likes me more.”Regardless, Madilyn figured her guess was not too far from the truth. She gave Roxanne a serious glance. “I’m serious. You should try giving the relationship a go. Just take it as a chance to make up for all the regrets from six years ago.”At that, Roxanne fell into deep thought. Finally, she forced a smile and said, “All right. Thank you.”Madilyn got up and hugged her. “You know you can come to me whenever you have something troubling you, right? Don’t keep it to yourself.”Roxanne a*sented with a smile.Madilyn knew Roxanne needed more time to think about it. Thus, she stopped talking and remained quiet in her seat while waiting for the latter t

The Fitting choice

“Frieda, do you know them?” Ha*so couldn’t help but ask. Frieda slowly returned to her senses and glanced at him with furrowed eyebrows. The disdain in her eyes swiftly faded. “There’s bad blood between me and that woman.”“What did she do to you?” Ha*so asked, confused.Frieda pursed her lips and put on an angry look. “She stole my friend’s man. I can’t stand that.”Ha*so was momentarily stunned when he saw his goddess getting angry. He then stood up and a*sumed a posture as though he was going to help her get revenge. “I’ll teach that woman a lesson!”Frieda couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Quickly schooling her emotions, she gently kicked his leg under the table. “Sit down! Don’t act so rashly. It’ll be embarra*sing if you make a scene!”Because she kicked him very lightly, he thought she was flirting with him. He sat back down obediently and asked, “What do you plan to do, then? I’ll do whatever you ask!”Frieda smiled. “Let’s follow them and see what they’re up to.”Ha*so agreed

Symphony of Unexpected Connections

Archie and Benny watched silently and enviously from behind. They also wanted to wear matching outfits with their parents. However, they weren’t as bold as their younger sister. Knowing that Lucian was their father, they tended to act more reserved in front of him.Roxanne looked at the happy smile on Estella’s face, and her concern reduced greatly. She patted the girl’s head and said, “The dress really suits you, Essie. Let’s take it off now so the employee can bag them.”Estella shook her head without hesitation and grabbed Roxanne’s hand tightly.She did not want to take off the dress that quickly when it was rare for her to wear the same clothes as Roxanne.Roxanne could guess what the girl was thinking. Well, since we’re already wearing these matching outfits, I don’t think there is any difference if we wear them for a little longer. She went along with Estella’s idea and asked the employee to bag the clothes they were originally wearing.After following the employee to the cash

The Unspoken Bouquet

When she turned back, Roxanne saw Lucian pouring two cups of water and putting one each in front of Archie and Benny. She was puzzled. Is he doing that because they asked for it, or is it because he wants to relieve the awkwardness from earlier?Just as her mind was still in a chaotic mess, a cup of water suddenly appeared in front of her.Roxanne came back to her senses and glanced at the person next to her.Lucian smiled at her mysteriously, then retracted his hand from the cup and turned his attention back to the stage.After staring at the cup with mixed emotions for a long while, Roxanne thanked him in a small voice. She felt apologetic because she believed she had misunderstood him earlier.In order to show him that she didn’t hold a grudge, she took a sip of water from the cup he had given her.The children’s lips quirked up when they saw how the adults interacted. They thought Roxanne had lowered her guard.When the concert ended, Lucian and Roxanne left the auditorium with t
