Unforeseen Contracts and Social Obligations

A flash of self-mockery flitted across Roxanne’s eyes. She was worried that Lucian might find trouble with Jack because of her, but it turned out that she had gotten it all wrong.All the while, Lucian was finding trouble with her because of Jack.Seeing the change in the woman’s expression, Lucian realized that what he had just said might have been too suggestive.With his brows knitted together, Lucian was prepared to explain himself, but Roxanne beat him to the punch.“Since it’s business-related, you can reason with Mr. Damaris himself. I’m merely a researcher in this project. Both my words and my presence don’t carry much weight, so even if I’m not there at the ceremony, it can still proceed without a hitch.”Roxanne looked at the man in front of her with a tinge of mockery in her gaze as she continued, “I’m just an insignificant member of the project. If don’t attend the ceremony today, my colleagues will a*sume I’m unsociable and bring me trouble in the future. Mr. Farwell, pl

Unexpected Encounters and Unwelcome Tensions

Roxanne felt conflicted as she realized she had inadvertently betrayed Lucian. I wonder what Lucian will say when he finds out…“Come on, Roxanne. We’re going to be working closely together from now on, so it’d do us good to spend more time with each other,” Larry chimed in as well.Left with no other choice, Roxanne recomposed herself and a*sented with a smile.The three of them left the private room and went straight to the banquet hall on the third floor.Roxanne was shocked when she stepped out of the elevator.Everyone involved in the project was already waiting for her in the banquet hall. It was as though they already knew the signing of the contract would be successful.They all flocked over to Roxanne with their gla*ses raised.“Mr. Damaris says you played a huge part in resolving the issue with our supply of medicinal herbs, Dr. Jarvis! Here’s a toast to you!”“It’s truly amazing how a young woman like you could make such great accomplishments in the medical field!”Just li

Late Night Arrivals and Unexpected Responsibilities

Without saying anything, Lucian reached out to grab Roxanne’s hand and pulled her into his embrace. Jack knew his boundaries. Although he was holding on to her, he didn’t use a lot of force, so Lucian was able to snatch her from him with ease.“What are you doing, Mr. Farwell? Dr. Jarvis gave me permission to send her home. How will I explain myself if she finds out I handed her over to you?” Jack asked with a frown.The elevator came to a halt on the first floor.“Roxanne is my ex-wife. Given our relationship, I don’t think I need your permission to send her home. You will stay away from my ex-wife in the future if you know what’s good for you, Mr. Damaris,” Lucian said menacingly without looking back as he helped Roxanne out of the elevator.Jack, who was still standing inside the elevator, had a nonchalant look on his face when he heard that. “Really? In that case, I suppose I’ll have to leave her in your care, Mr. Ex-husband!” he said in the most sarcastic way possible.Lucian pa

Revelations and Regrets

Madilyn fell speechless when she heard that. What? I have to go to work early tomorrow? It wasn’t until she noticed Archie and Benny winking at her that she understood what they were playing at. “As much as I would love to stay and look after Roxanne, the workload at the hospital has been pretty crazy lately. Would you be able to look after her for me, Mr. Farwell? If not, I’ll have no choice but to take a day off tomorrow,” she said with a sigh. Feeling satisfied that Madilyn was playing along, the kids shifted their gaze back to Lucian and waited for his reply. Since he had intended to stay and look after Roxanne all along, he simply met their expectant gazes and nodded in response. This is a little strange, though… I remember Archie and Benny being mad at me for a really long time when I casually mentioned their biological father. I thought they’d hate me very much, and yet, they’ve been helping me win Roxanne back lately. In fact, they’re putting in as much effort as Estella.

The Veil of Secrets

At the sight of Roxanne’s pale expression, Lucian leaned in to look into her eyes with a frown. “How is it? Do you feel any better?” In her condition, Roxanne couldn’t hear him at all. After vomiting, she collapsed onto her bed and mumbled, “Ugh, it feels terrible…”Lucian’s heart ached for her when he heard that. After getting up to take off the shirt that she had puked on, he went out to wash his hands and poured her a cup of water for her to gargle with.When he returned to the room, he saw Roxanne standing on her feet. She was taking off her clothes as if there was no one around. While doing so, she continued to mumble, “I… I want to shower.”The sight of her stripping jolted Lucian back to his senses. He hurried to her side to hold her back. “Stop taking off your clothes.”Annoyed, Roxanne threw him a look of displeasure and insisted, “I want to shower. Move aside!”While she was speaking, she began to unbuckle her bra.Lucian quickly looked away, stunned.By the time he turned

Unexpected Connections

After watching the children enter the kindergarten, Roxanne turned to Lucian with mixed emotions and started, “The boys told me that it was you who sent me home last night.” Lucian nodded noncommittally. He averted his gaze from her and looked to the side as if nothing had happened.In truth, he couldn’t help recalling the scene from the night before at the sight of her face.Roxanne trailed his gaze, only to see his car that was parked by the roadside.Thinking that he was in a hurry to leave, she decided to get straight to the point. “Can you tell me how we ran into each other last night?”Lucian’s face turned cold when Roxanne mentioned their encounter. “We happened to run into each other in the hotel elevator.”Even though he didn’t describe how he had wrestled her away from Jack’s arms, Roxanne had no trouble imagining it.Given his temper, he must’ve been infuriated to see me together with Jack. It goes without saying that something unpleasant must have happened between them.N

Unraveling Ties and Seeking Redemption

Lucian, however, furrowed his brows tightly upon listening to his best friend’s words. Faced with Lucian’s lack of response, Jonathan urged anxiously, “Our project is about to get up to speed, and Herbscape Group is an extremely important piece. If we can’t acquire them, we’ll have no choice but to back out and wait for the next opportunity.”That was Jonathan’s attempt at questioning Lucian. It was one thing for Queen Group to give up, but Farwell Group had never backed out of anything before.Given their status in Horington, Farwell Group had always gotten their way regardless of the situation. Plenty of companies clamored to collaborate with them.Unexpectedly, with a brazenness that came out of nowhere, not only did Herbscape Group dare to bargain with Farwell Group, but they even canceled the contract at the very last stage.If it was any other company, Lucian would have already taught them a painful lesson.However, Lucian didn’t react at all this time. He seemed to have prepar

Unveiled Betrayals

After giving it much thought, Jonathan came to a brazen conclusion. “What you have done so far isn’t enough.” Lucian cocked a brow. “I only followed what you said.”Jonathan was rendered speechless by the snarky response. He was filled with the urge to remind Lucian who it was who needed help.However, when he recalled that Lucian’s demeanor would inherently make him bad at courtship, he decided to shoulder the blame.“That’s because the methods I shared with you weren’t enough,” he said in resignation.“What else can I do?” Lucian looked at him in puzzlement.Roxanne’s attitude in the morning made him feel uneasy. He wanted to improve the dynamics of their relationship as soon as possible.Scratching his nose, Jonathan suggested, “You know, women like romantic stuff. You can consider doing something romantic that will move her.”Something romantic?Lucian thought back to the recent interactions he had with Roxanne.Come to think of it, I don’t remember doing anything romantic. I mig

Scheming Hearts

Frieda was already annoyed. The lecture she had just received from Jonathan made her expression contort even more. “I think you’re the one who’s doing stupid things!”With that, she looked daggers at Jonathan before turning around to leave the office in a huff.So my own brother has turned against me, eh? I guess I have to see Aubree about this!Even I can tell that Mrs. Farwell wants Aubree to be her daughter-in-law. I remember that she even took it upon herself to get rid of Roxanne the last time.Lucian is trying to woo Roxanne now, but he hasn’t even break off his engagement.The outcome of this tussle between Aubree and Roxanne is quite obvious. Aubree will be the rightful daughter-in-law of the Farwell family.Jonathan is helping Roxanne that b*tch.

He’s out of his mind!Jonathan could feel his head throbbing as he stared at his sister’s retreating figure.After le

Unspoken Intentions

Roxanne remained oblivious to what Aubree was plotting. Estella, on the other hand, desperately wished for Roxanne to accept her father’s affection for her.For several days, Estella would pester Catalina to teach her how to bake a cake when she returned from school.Catalina naturally wanted to know where the interest came from. However, the little girl refused to explain, and instead, she would respond with a shy smile each time.Catalina’s heart melted when she looked at Estella’s expression, so she decided to fulfill the girl’s request.She had thought that Estella was just learning how to bake for fun.After all, Estella was so small that she could not even reach the countertop. She needed to use a stool, which made the activity quite inconvenient.However, to her surprise, Estella had learned how to bake quite decently in just a few days.Early in the morning, when the weekend approached, Estella waited for Lucian at his bedroom door.“Daddy!”Lucian had just opened the door wh
