However, they refused to believe her words and merely stared at her.
Nevertheless, Roxanne was quick to divert her attention from Jack. Feeling distraught, she filled her mind with Estella again.
Glancing at her bright phone screen, she hesitated for a moment before searching for Lucian’s number.
I have to try, even though Lucian might not answer my call. It’s better than waiting at home helplessly like this.
At that thought, Roxanne clenched her fist and made the call while trying to keep her composure.
Soon, the call interface popped out on her phone screen.
The kids turned silent in unison, watching Roxanne make the phone call.
By then, they had totally forgotten about the previous phone call from Jack.
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the Farwell residence, Lucian and Estella were in Estella’s bedroom.
It was at that moment that Lucian’s phone rang abruptly.
Disturbed by the abrupt call, Estella furrowed her eyebrows in her sleep.
Lucian’s eyes darkened as he covered Estella’s ears before lifting his head to check on his phone screen.
As he stared at the caller ID, a strange look flashed across his eyes.
Roxanne really cares a lot about Essie. However, I wonder if she prioritizes Essie or her job more…
His phone had been ringing for quite some time before Estella asked, “Daddy, why aren’t you picking up the call?”
Despite that, Lucian was unbothered by it and continued to let his phone ring.
Eventually, a female mechanical voice sounded at the end of the line. Hearing that, Roxanne hung up directly.
As she had expected, Lucian refused to answer her call.
She began to feel anxious but still tried to convince herself.
If Lucian didn’t answer my call, does that mean Estella’s condition is under control?
At the side, Archie and Benny did not expect Lucian not to answer Roxanne’s call.
It seems like Mommy has been calling Daddy multiple times. Daddy must be really mad at her, but it’s not very nice of him to hide Essie’s condition from us!
The kids were enraged at the thought of that.
Once again, a blanket of silence fell over the room.
Right then, Archie’s smartwatch rang. It was a reminder to him that it was time to keep a check on the stock market.
He switched off the reminder without hesitation.
Clearly, he was not in the mood for anything else. I don’t care if I’m losing money. I can always earn the money back later. I’m more concerned about Essie right now. Money wouldn’t bring her back if something happened to her.
Roxanne heard his alarm and immediately thought of something. Then, she lowered her eyes to look at Archie.
Noticing her gaze on him, Archie stared at her in puzzlement.
Roxanne shifted her attention to his smartwatch. With a frown, she suggested, “Archie, how about you call Mr. Farwell using your smartwatch?”
He’s mad at me. That’s why he won’t answer my call. I bet he will pick up the phone if Archie calls him instead. After all, the kid has nothing to do with our drama.
Hearing Roxanne’s suggestion, Archie and Benny suddenly realized that it was a good plan. Yes, we can call Daddy!
With that in mind, they nodded without an ounce of hesitation.
Archie promptly searched for Lucian’s contact on his smartwatch and pressed the dial button.
Meanwhile, a look of surprise flashed past Roxanne’s eyes when she noticed Lucian’s contact in Archie’s smartwatch.
How did Archie get his contact? I don’t recall giving them Lucian’s contact.
At that moment, in the Farwell residence, Lucian’s phone rang once again. Frowning when he saw the caller ID, he hesitated for a while before he got up and took the call outside.
It didn’t matter which one of the boys was calling him because Lucian had no reason to reject their calls under any circumstances.
In fact, he was afraid something bad would befall them in the event that they were calling him because of an emergency. It was a slim possibility, but Lucian did not want to leave it up to chance. “Archie, what’s wrong?”
Over the phone, Archie called out to Lucian in a childish voice and turned to look at his mother hesitantly.
Roxanne smiled encouragingly at Archie, gesturing at him to continue speaking. At the same time, she forced herself to ignore the peculiar sensation that had welled up in her heart.
Archie asked, “I heard Mommy say that Essie’s crying. How’s she doing now?”
He purposely mentioned his mother in hopes that Lucian would realize she was the one who made him ask after Estella.
Lucian’s gaze darkened after hearing Archie’s words.
I had a feeling Roxanne was the one who made him do this, but I didn’t expect him to come out with the truth so easily.
“Is Essie still crying?”
Without waiting for his reply, Archie repeated his question and turned on the speaker.
With that, Roxanne would also be able to hear the conversation when Lucian spoke. However, the other end of the line remained silent for some time.
Lucian was currently debating with himself if he should inform Archie, for Roxanne was bound to find out if he did so.
He wanted to use the opportunity to make Roxanne consider whether work or the children was more important to her.
Archie could vaguely guess Lucian’s line of thought. In a pitiful voice, he beseeched, “Mr. Farwell, we can keep it a secret from Mommy since you’re angry at her. However, Benny and I are very worried about Essie. Can you please tell us how she is right now?”
Benny chimed in, “Mr. Farwell, please tell us!”
The two of them sounded so pitiful that Lucian found his heart softening. After a brief silence, he finally replied.
“Estella is fine and asleep for now. Don’t worry too much. Also, since I’m the one who made her cry, I’ll make sure to take responsibility.”
Heaving sighs of relief, Archie and Benny turned to look at Roxanne in unison.
Since Essie is okay, I’m sure Mommy will be relieved too!
However, the troubled expression on Roxanne’s face did not fade in the slightest.
Judging from Lucian’s words, Estella had cried herself to sleep. What if she continues to throw a tantrum after she wakes up?
At that thought, Roxanne’s lips parted as if she wanted to say something.
If only he’d let me see Essie…
A thought occurred to Roxanne, and she quickly closed her mouth. Turning to Archie and Benny, she sent them a pleading look.
The two of them instantly understood her intentions.
Benny begged in an adorable voice, “Mr. Farwell, can Mommy bring us to visit Essie?”
As Benny spoke, Roxanne stared at the smartwatch nervously as if she could see the person on the other end of the line on it.
Without hesitation, Lucian’s reply came the moment Benny finished speaking. “No, I don’t see why you’d need to when you can see her at school tomorrow.”
Archie and Benny’s faces fell after hearing Lucian’s reply. Roxanne, too, was filled with disappointment.
Unable to bear their mother’s sadness, the two boys tried with all their might to come up with something else.

This novel is so so good. Keep the chapters coming
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON’T COMPLICATE MATTERS EVEN MORE BETWEEN LUCIAN AND ROXANNE , LET THEM TALK IN THE NEXT CHAPTERS, IF NECESERY MAKE LUCIAN KIDNAP ROXANNE SO THAT THEY CAN TALK WITHOUT INTERUPTIONS, BUT I MEAN REALLY TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED 6 YEARS AGO. IT REALLY IS TIME THAT THE STORY STARTS TO UNRAVEL AND THE TRUTH COMES OUT. DON’T DRAG THE PLOT ANY MORE BECAUSE IT IS CRUEL TO ROXANNE AND ESSIE TO NOT KNOW THEY ARE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.
NEW CHAPTERS ASAP.
Oh my gosh!!! Couldn’t agree more!!! I’m frustrated with Roxanne. Argh! Can we make them act more like adults and sort their mess out….argh
I agree. This is becoming more frustrating than enjoyable. Why the need to torture kids?!?!
I totally agree this is going nowhere 🙄😠
Wow always the cliff hanger ending. Please more chapters sooner
Please stop that enough is enough let them know the truth!! All of them give them a chance to be together!! You know it is not a bad thing to put a closure! We are stuck in the same pattern for to long…..its really frustrating!! Its not even make any sense that the mighty Lucian and the smart Roxanne haven’t yet find out the truth one their one.
Don’t understand why the hell Lucian will not inform Roxanne about Estella being her biological daughter. He has already figured out in past that Roxanne has not abundant her. This is now becoming like some tv serial which has decided to run the show till infinity and hence will keep on writing the story which doesn’t make sense. It needs a logical turn. Don’t make this boring. Till now you have kept us engaged with good content
They are both in the wrong, neither one is telling the other because the twin boys are also Lucian’s and Roxanne doesn’t tell him either. I honestly think this is like a drama series book 😅 it’s taking so long and only like an episode’s worth of the book is released weekly. But the suspense between these 2 is realy a bit too much now for me. Even in days of our lives, the people figured things out faster and came together. There are other interesting characters in the book that can also take the focus a bit.
This is so drawn out and so unnecessary. Just please make the next chapters be one where the truth is being revealed. I’m skipping chapters because it’s just a rinse and repeat of misunderstanding. And can Roxanne not become a character where she prioritises her job over the kids. How are they left on their own constantly in the same day. It’s getting ridiculous. New chapters please where we actually are going somewhere with the storyline….arghhh
Totally agree. Misunderstanding between Roxanne and Lucian is very drawnout.
I don’t wanna stop reading the story so please more chapters to read.
Please keep posting the chapters..
I feel the same as previous comments. I wanna throw Jack off the mountain. He is interfering…..grrrr. When are they going tell Roxanne who Essie. Also how does she not know she had a daughter. They just say she left the baby
She had triplets and the baby girl was stillborn to her knowledge but somehow the baby survived and was given to Lucien. We have yet to find out who is behind this scheme and why.
Also how does she not know she had a daughter. They just say she left the baby
She was told the baby died when it was born so we don’t know what happened.
I have a suspicion it’s Aubree and / or Sonya that bribed someone about the baby… I recall (maybe?) reading she only went aboard after babies were born. So many characters to play around with and writer onlh focuses on 2.
Can’t be Aubrey as she doesn’t know that Lucien is the father of the twins.
More chapters please. Thanks
Thanks for updates but please more chapters
More chapters please

I agree with all the readers we reach so far in The story and it’s still so much misunderstanding we need more of explanation it’s like we going around in circles that jack guy is no good

Come on stop beating around the bush and let’s come to a conclusion.
The kids are bound to celebrate their birthday’s in the kindergarten…start there … if Lucian can’t put 2 and 2 together then then what kind of CEO is he?
Also we need to get the mixup at the hospital wrapped up
Clever. Really bravo

S’IL VOUS PLAIT, S’IL VOUS PLAIT, LAISSEZ Roxane et Lucian PARLER DANS LES PROCHAINS CHAPITRES, Nous avons besoin de savoir ce qui c’est passé il y a six ans!!! cela dure beaucoup je ne lis plus je saute des chapitres pour arriver à leur discussion franche mais toujours rien. ça devient long pour rien!
It’s becoming boring now cos we keep on rounding in circles and also wait long for chapters.
Please, more chapters.
Going around in circles. Not nice
Have been 456 chapters!!! It should be approaching the closure.
More please ready for the next chapter to comei.
Really enjoying this book
I don’t mind the story going back and forth and twists and turns or all the new characters, but why so long between uploads of chapters? I can’t stand waiting 3 or 4 days for the next 10 chapters. I forget what happened and have to reread the last chapter.
True this
I really can’t wait for doctor Jarvis to give in
Me still waiting.
More chapters please please please.

If you can’t wait, go to allnoveljr.com
I’ve been binge reading and I am on chapter 1,840 and it’s not done yet!
Benny and Archie should hint Lucian that he is their biological father
Good day. The wait is causing the readers to lose interest. Please be considerate, and post some new chapters before the frustration drives us away.
I have read a story similar to this story wherein the baby who was thought to be dead was being switched while in the hospital. I believe it is still the same w/ the situation w/ Essie.
Well anyway, I do not care if they have the same plot as long as we are not running “around the bush”.
Can we pls get the rest of the chapter so into tuis book great novel
This is a good read but come on it’s so drawn out and doesn’t seem to be moving forward very fast. I do want more chapters asap please
We really, really need more chapters ASAP.
Curious to know when the new chapters are being released.
