A Clash of Allegiances

Lucian ordered in a cold voice, “You guys have one day to find out what happened and who dared to mess around near the Farwell residence!” After hearing that, Axel agreed without hesitation and immediately led people to patrol nearby the residence.The few hooligans who took money from Aubree received an order from her to stay around the area for the next few days to keep an eye out for the two children.Aubree felt they would come again since they didn’t see Estella when they came the last time.As long as they dared to come, they wouldn’t be able to escape easily as they did.The next morning, the security team of the Farwell residence surrounded the hooligans.“Please, we didn’t do anything!”The hooligans quickly squatted down while shielding their heads as they sensed the other party was not to be trifled with.Axel looked at them coldly. “Did you people chase after two children yesterday?”They exchanged glances with each other, not daring to respond first.These men in black a

Adapting in Silence

Frieda soon conveyed Aubree’s message to Cory. Initially, Aubree thought that the deal could be done via the internet. After all, Lucian’s men were still monitoring Cory.However, when the day of the transaction came, Aubree found herself ill at ease.If she did not watch him with her own two eyes, how was she going to make sure that Cory really deleted the photos?With that thought in mind, Aubree paused in her motions and uttered to Frieda, “Tell Cory that I’m going to watch him delete those photos myself.”Frieda stiffened. “But we might get exposed for this…”Tamping down the feelings of displeasure in her heart, Aubree said with as much patience as she could summon, “If I don’t do this, who knows if Cory’s going to lie to us?”Frieda did not agree with Aubree, but she still told Cory about Aubree’s intention.Naturally, Cory was not interested in meeting Aubree in person.Nevertheless, ten million was too great of a temptation for him to resist.After a moment of contemplation,

Fragmented Bonds

The teacher glanced at Estella before turning to Sonya. She then rephrased her sentence. “It’s not that Essie is ignoring the other kids; it’s that she screams when they come close to her.”Then, as if life was trying to prove the teacher’s words, Sonya noticed a few children who were getting picked up by their parents whispering as they looked in Estella’s direction.Along with the teacher’s words, Sonya could guess what those children were whispering about.“Our Essie takes a while to warm up to strangers. It’s her first day here, after all. I hope the teachers will be more patient with her,” Sonya said, maintaining her polite demeanor. “Essie will be a good kid once she’s used to them.”Then, Sonya lowered her head to look at Estella and asked, “Right, Essie?”Estella pressed her lips tightly together as she continued to hang her head. It was as if she did not hear Sonya.Sonya furrowed her brows and crouched down patiently. “I’m talking to you, Essie.”The girl blinked before loo

Reunion and Promise

With that, Lucian strode out of the Farwell main residence with Estella in his arms. Sonya was fuming as she watched her son take Estella away just like that, but there was nothing she could do about it.For the next several days, Estella didn’t go to kindergarten and just stayed home to play under Lucian’s orders.She had become a lot more stable after returning to a familiar environment.Although she was still angry with Lucian, she was at least willing to speak to Catalina.Lucian was aware of her temperament. After finding out that she wasn’t completely refusing to speak, he no longer tried to force her.When the weekend came around, Archie and Benny wanted to see Estella.As they didn’t know if Estella had gone home or not, they were extremely worried.It just so happened that Roxanne was working overtime, and Lysa had taken leave to return to her hometown, leaving the two kids alone in the mansion.Hence, it was a lot easier for them to sneak out this time.After exiting the ma

Unexpected Turns and Reunions

Archie took the chance to sprint out of the mansion with Estella in tow. They then hid in a corner and waited for Benny to leave. Inside the mansion, Catalina had just poured a cup of water for Benny and a*sumed he was about to go upstairs.To her surprise, Benny gave her a polite bow. “Thank you, Ms. Catalina. I shall take my leave now.”Catalina frowned in puzzlement. “What about Archie?”They both came together, so she couldn’t understand why they would leave separately.Benny pursed his lips guiltily. “Archie left a while ago. He and I snuck in here without telling Mommy, and we were busted. She’s probably giving him an earful right now.”Catalina nodded understandingly. She found their antics amusing.I can’t believe they came this far just to visit a friend. Ms. Jarvis must be beside herself with worry.She suddenly recalled what happened previously and offered, “I’ll ask someone to give you a ride home.”Benny waved his hands anxiously. “N-No need for that. My mommy is waiting

Clash of Maternal Authority

Upon realizing Roxanne didn’t feel any animosity towards her, Estella leaped into her arms happily. Smiling, Roxanne wrapped her arms around Estella and asked gently, “Why are you with Archie and Benny?”Hearing her question, Archie and Benny exchanged a sheepish glance before directing their gaze toward Estella.Should we let Essie tell Mommy we sneaked her out, or should we tell her ourselves? It has been a while since Mommy and Essie last met. She won’t get mad at Essie!Estella didn’t disappoint them, for she quickly revealed, “Archie and Benny came to visit me. I wanted to visit you, so I asked them to bring me here!” Her voice sounded smug.Luckily, I followed them back. Otherwise, there is no telling when I’ll get to meet Ms. Jarvis!Roxanne stiffened when she heard Estella’s answer.Essie ran away from home with Archie and Benny. If Lucian finds out about it, how should I explain it to him? He’ll most probably a*sume the boys persuaded Essie to follow them back to my house.W

The Farwell Conflict: A Tale of Family Struggles and Bonds

Roxanne felt that this was unjust for Estella. “Just because Essie is a Farwell, does that mean she should be treated this way and not be allowed to befriend people she likes?”Sonya sneered, “If you’re talking about your sons, then she isn’t allowed to befriend them.”A flash of disappointment crossed Archie and Benny’s faces when they heard that.Does Grandma hate us that much? She won’t even allow us to be friends with Essie.Roxanne was upset, too. “Mrs. Farwell, the children have nothing to do with our grudge.”Roxanne knew that the elderly lady’s hatred for Archie and Benny must have stemmed from her, for they rarely interacted with Sonya.With that thought in mind, she cast the boys an apologetic look.Though the boys had no idea about their own background, their biological grandmother ended up despising them because of her.For one split second, Roxanne had the urge to reveal Archie and Benny’s identities to Sonya so she would stop insulting her boys.Sonya was not interested

A Family's Struggle for Understanding and Acceptance

Even though Roxanne and Lucian knew what Archie would say, they were still moved when they heard the boy actually put his thoughts into words. After looking down at Archie, Roxanne silently shifted her gaze to Lucian. If possible, I, too, wish Essie could stay a moment longer, at least until she calms down.Unfortunately, she knew she had no right to make such a request.Only after keeping quiet for a few seconds did Lucian turn to meet Roxanne’s gaze.Clenching her fists, Roxanne then looked away and pretended to be calm.“What do you think, Ms. Jarvis?” inquired Lucian in his deep voice.Roxanne reluctantly replied, “I have no say in the matter since Essie is your child, Mr. Farwell. However, I do hope that you’ll respect her wishes.”Since Roxanne did not intend to request him to let Estella stay, Lucian nodded understandingly in response and turned to Estella. “Then you should come home with me.”Estella had just stopped crying, but after hearing her father’s words, her face bega

Whispers of the Heart: Navigating Family Dynamics and Unspoken Desires

Roxanne was dumbfounded since she did not expect Lucian to agree to their request so easily. She finally regained her senses when Estella came running toward her, sobbing after her father set her down on the floor.“Ms. Jarvis…” The girl quickly wrapped her arms around Roxanne’s thigh.After caressing Estella’s head, Roxanne looked up at Lucian, who then nodded indifferently at her and glanced at the three children before heading to his car.Only after watching Lucian drive away did Roxanne take the children into the living room.“You two look after Essie. I need to make a phone call,” instructed Roxanne.Archie and Benny immediately nodded in response and did their best to comfort Estella while Roxanne hurried into a corner to call Jack, who did not take long to answer.“What’s up, Ms. Jarvis?” inquired Jack.“Sorry, but I’m afraid I’ll have to take another rain check,” replied Roxanne apologetically.According to their schedule, the two were supposed to provide medical consultation

Unspoken Ties: Navigating Relationships and Childhood Secrets

The next morning, when Roxanne woke up early, Estella was still asleep. She left the bed gently to avoid disturbing the girl and went downstairs to prepare the children’s breakfast.Because of the messy situation last night, she woke up a little later than usual even though she was awake before the children.She hadn’t even prepared breakfast when the doorbell rang.Roxanne stopped what she was doing, and her heart sank. Is Lucian that eager to bring Essie back home?The doorbell rang incessantly, which roused the children from their slumber and prompted them to descend the stairs.“Is Mr. Farwell here, Mommy?” Archie frowned at the entrance.Estella’s gleeful countenance from yesterday had been replaced with a pitiful expression as she stood behind the boys. I want to stay with Archie and Benny longer!Seeing that the children had arrived downstairs, Roxanne had no choice but to put the things in her hands down and open the door.“Mr. Fair—” Roxanne cut herself off when she realized
