Frayed Bonds

Lucian felt helpless upon seeing how unperturbed Estella was by what he said. Ever since the little girl got close to Roxanne, she had been practicing double standards and treating her better than him.What Roxanne did last night was too much, but Essie still decided to forgive her. Yet, Essie is mad at me for not paying attention to all the good things she said about that woman. She isn’t even listening to me anymore.Had Lucian not learned that Roxanne was Estella’s biological mother, he might have had difficulty accepting the double standards.After a short while, Lucian suppressed his grievance and comforted the little girl, “Didn’t you say you have something to tell me? I’m all ears now.”Estella lifted her head and glanced at him.Lucian’s eyes darkened, and his heart sank when he saw the expression on her face.He thought she did not give him any response because she was upset.However, when she lifted her head, he realized her cheeks were stained with tears.“Bad Daddy…” Este

Echoes of Regret

While Roxanne was in two minds over whether or not to hurry to the Farwell residence, Jack strode out with a document in his hand and called out, “Ms. Jarvis.” She had no choice but to suppress the worry in her heart and quickly walked toward him. “What’s this?”“You didn’t come in after some time, so I thought I’d bring out the document you needed to go through. You can take a look and sign it if there are no issues.”Hearing that, she murmured her a*sent and checked the document carefully. A moment later, she looked up at Jack and nodded. “Everything looks fine.”“Excellent,” he said with a smile. “You look a little upset. Did something happen?”Recalling the sound of Estella’s cries, Roxanne fell into a slight daze.Jack was puzzled when he saw that she did not respond after a long time. “Ms. Jarvis?”Roxanne jolted to her senses and shot him an apologetic smile. “These are the medicinal herbs we need. Is there anything else you need my help with?”Jack shook his head.Seeing that

Broken Promises

Soon, Lucian stopped his car in front of James’ psychiatric clinic. As Lucian had made the call while he was on the way, James was already waiting at the door.After getting out of the car, Lucian walked over to the other side to carry Estella, who was still crying.Upon seeing his outstretched hands, she dodged to the side.“Let me do it,” James offered as he stepped forward.He reached out to Estella and said gently, “Essie, good girl. Let me carry you.”Estella shook her head and choked out, “I want Ms. Jarvis…”James couldn’t help but frown in confusion and glance at Lucian.Lucian had mentioned that Estella wouldn’t stop crying on the phone earlier, but he did not get the chance to explain what had happened in detail.Meeting James’ eyes, Lucian furrowed his brows and said, “Let’s talk inside.”James gave him a nod before turning around to coax the girl again. “Ms. Jarvis will be here soon. Come with me first and let’s wait for her inside, all right?”Estella stared at James dou

Bridge Of Trust

Estella pursed her lips and fell silent for a long moment before slowly shaking her head. I still like Daddy, but…“Daddy lied. Daddy is a bad person.”A smile finally broke out on James’ face. “You’re angry with your daddy, but your daddy is angry with Ms. Jarvis.”Estella immediately shook her head. “Daddy cannot be angry with Ms. Jarvis.”James was astonished.He knew Estella was exceedingly fond of Roxanne, but he did not realize it was to this extent.Lucian must be exasperated.Seeing that Estella was going to lose her cool again, James uttered hastily, “I’ll punish him for you. He knows he’s in the wrong too.”Estella calmed down, but she remained sullen. “I want Ms. Jarvis as my mommy. I don’t want anyone else!”James glanced at the door. He could only agree on Lucian’s behalf. “Okay. Only Ms. Jarvis.”Estella finally quieted down and lay on James’ shoulder, sniffling occasionally.James glanced at Estella and gently touched her eyes. “Do you feel awful?”Estella nodded betwe

Unspoken Friendship

James was the driver, while Lucian sat at the back of the car with Estella. Suddenly, Estella scrunched up her face and muttered something under her breath.Lucian creased his brows and leaned closer to Estella to hear what she was saying.“Mommy…” Estella mumbled. As she spoke, she even grabbed onto Lucian’s clothes.Although she was still sleeping, Lucian could see that she had grown attached to Roxanne.His gaze darkened as he thought about the woman.James had also heard Estella, and he cast a complicated glance at the rearview mirror.Through the rearview mirror, he saw Lucian’s grim expression and sighed soundlessly.“Essie needs a mother. Until you meet a woman you like, you shouldn’t prevent Essie from seeing Ms. Jarvis regardless of your opinion of her.”After a long moment, Lucian replied in a deep voice, “I’ll take note of that.”James stopped talking because he knew it would be pointless to continue since he did not know what Lucian was thinking.Meanwhile, Roxanne had be

Shadows of Disappointment

“Mommy, is it because of Essie?” Archie asked. The thought had suddenly occurred to him because the first thing Roxanne had asked when she arrived home earlier was whether Estella had been there.Roxanne’s expression changed immediately when she heard her son guess correctly.Archie is so perceptive! He guessed the reason in an instant!“What’s wrong with Essie?” Benny asked in a puzzled tone.The boys grew concerned about Estella when they saw the look on Roxanne’s face. However, they also knew that if they revealed how worried they were, Roxanne would only become sadder.So, the boys tried their best to hide away the worry and anxiety bubbling in their chests.Roxanne hesitated a little. In the end, she asked the question that had been bothering her, “Would you be angry with me if you wanted to see me, but I didn’t show up in time?”The boys exchanged looks and, without hesitation, shook their heads in unison. “No!”Roxanne looked at them doubtfully.After a while, the boys smiled

Entangled Paths

“Do you want me to keep this medicine for you?” Jack didn’t take those kids seriously. Instead, he turned around and threw the question at Roxanne.Roxanne frowned as she pondered it for a while. “It’s better to send it to the research institute. There’s no point in keeping this with me.”“Then I will need you to come with us,” Jack said.Hearing that, Archie and Benny tensed up. The grips on the hem of Roxanne’s dress tightened.Just when she was about to agree to his request, she noticed the boys’ unusual reaction. She glanced at them with concern.The boys looked at their mother. “Mommy, aren’t you unwell?”It was only after the boys contemplated for some time that they finally came up with those words.Roxanne’s expression changed slightly. Her eyes grew gloomy as she thought of Estella.“Forget it if you’re not feeling well. I’ll just tell the staff over there,” Jack said.Roxanne pulled herself together and shook her head with a smile on her face. “It’s better for me to go over

Embers of Deception: Aubree's Turbulent Pursuit

“Okay,” Lucian said, then took Estella back to the Farwell residence. Soon after, the black Bentley drove away.A camera flashed in the gra*s in front of Roxanne’s house, and a man appeared from the gra*s afterward.While processing the photographs he had just taken, he hurriedly got into his car and tailed Jack’s, which was heading toward the research institute.Roxanne tried to suppress her worries about Estella on the way to the research institute. She began asking about matters related to Herbscape Group.“I was in a rush to leave just now. How are things with Herbscape Group going?”Roxanne really wanted to know if Herbscape Group had actually done those things.Or if Lucian’s business strategies were so terrifying that they allowed him to pa*s off fake as genuine.A hint of displeasure flashed across Jack’s eyes. However, his tone was warm when he spoke to Roxanne. “It’s probably not optimistic.”Roxanne furrowed her brows. She had a theory in mind.“Herbscape Group is involved

Unveiling Truths: In Pursuit of Clarity

Aubree’s phone suddenly vibrated twice when they were talking. Both of them turned to look at the phone in unison.Aubree glanced at it and knew the private detective had sent more photos again.A grim look appeared on her face when she thought about the photos she had been receiving these days.Except for the photos from yesterday, all the other photos were basically of Roxanne and Lucian being together.She had had enough of seeing them getting intimate with one another.A crease appeared between her brows when she tapped on the message to look at the photos.“What’s wrong? Who texted you?” Gina wanted to say more, but when she saw that Aubree was lost in her thoughts, she craned her neck and saw the photos on the phone. “Isn’t that… the son of the Damaris family?”Numerous thoughts raced through her mind as she spoke.A little while later, she asked dubiously, “Are the discussion on the internet some time ago real?”Did Roxanne really use Jack to join the Damaris family’s project?

Unforeseen Encounters

Back at the Pearson residence, Aubree went back to her room after sending the message. She didn’t know what Sonya’s reaction would be, but she was sure Sonya’s impression of Roxanne would be completely ruined.Gina was still sitting downstairs, wondering if she should call Sonya and add fuel to the fire.Just when she took out her phone and was about to make the call, her doorbell suddenly rang.Gina kept her phone and went to open the door.She was surprised to see Sonya standing there.“Where’s Aubree?” Sonya smiled gently at Gina, suppressing her anger.Only then did Gina regain her senses and realize this visit was the effect of the photos Aubree had sent, but she didn’t know what Sonya was going to say.Gina could barely suppress the smugness in her heart. After some time, she pointed to the room upstairs and said, “She came back early in the morning and went upstairs. She seems to be in a bad mood, but I didn’t dare to ask.”Upon hearing that, Sonya felt slightly apologetic.Gi
