The three of them came face to face the moment they got out of their respective cars. Cayden was stunned to see Roxanne and Jack coming out of the same car.
Jack was the first to break the silence. “We have just finished our medical consultations. Ms. Jarvis’ car broke down, so I sent her back.” To Cayden, his explanation was meant to hide the truth.
He then turned to look at Roxanne. “Mr. Lawson, what are you doing here?” Roxanne felt a little guilty when she met Cayden’s gaze, but she managed to calm herself down.
Cayden glanced at the man standing next to her and replied loudly, “Mr. Farwell has asked me to deliver these medicinal herbs to you. Now that you are back, please do an inventory check.”
With that, he turned around and signaled to his staff. Very soon, the staff unloaded all the boxes of herbs. Lucian asks him to send these medicinal herbs?
Roxanne was puzzled. She knew she had never mentioned such a request to Lucian. Is Lucian trying to make it up to me by sending these medicinal herbs?
Roxanne could not help but find it ironic. Jack, on the other hand, raised his brows in surprise when he saw the medicinal herbs. Inadvertently, he said, “I suppose this is why Mr. Farwell called you earlier on.”
Only then did Roxanne return to her senses and nod hesitantly. She could not think of other reasons as well.
It was annoying for Cayden to see Roxanne standing next to Jack. He felt it was unfair to Lucian.
“Ms. Jarvis, everything is here. Please inspect them. If you need more, do let me know,” Cayden added.
Roxanne was not sure if she should accept Lucian’s gift.
“Mr. Farwell found out that your research institute has caught on fire. These herbs are difficult to acquire, and he asked me to transfer some from abroad two days ago. They would have arrived earlier if it wasn’t because of the transportation.”
Cayden was trying to make Lucian’s presence known.
A peculiar feeling arose with Roxanne.
So, these are the herbs.
Shortly after the research institute caught fire, Lucian asked her if she needed any help.
However, Colby claimed he would find a solution back then. That was why Roxanne turned Lucian down.
In the end, Lucian still ended up procuring those herbs for her.
In that instant, Roxanne could not think straight.
Before that, it had always been her suspicion that Lucian was the mastermind of that fire.
But, if it was really him, why does he bother to do this?
Then again, if it isn’t him, who can it be…
“Well, I didn’t expect to receive Mr. Farwell’s support.”
Jack’s voice rang out.
Roxanne composed herself, but she did not know how to respond to Jack’s comment.
Instead, Cayden remarked, “Mr. Farwell’s support is only meant for Ms. Jarvis. Mr. Damaris, I hope you don’t get the wrong idea.”
Afraid that he might have offended Jack, Cayden added nonchalantly, “After all, Mr. Farwell and Ms. Jarvis are well acquainted.”
When Jack heard that, he looked at Roxanne with raised eyebrows. “Are Ms. Jarvis and Mr. Farwell related in any other ways? Is there something I should know?”
Roxanne was taken aback by his questions, and she tensed up ever so slightly. “We do know one another. Our children are classmates.”
Roxanne had no wish to reminiscence her relationship with Lucian.
However, Roxanne had no idea that Jack had found out about her past. That was why Jack raised his brows and looked at Cayden when he heard her denial.
Once again, Cayden felt unjust on Lucian’s behalf. Despite Lucian being ill, he still insisted on helping Roxanne. Cayden could not understand why she was so ungrateful.
Furthermore, she seemed so secretive about her relationship with Lucian. It was as though Lucian was an embarrassment! In spite of his thoughts, there was no way Cayden could express them outright in front of Jack.
“These medicinal herbs are difficult to find. Mr. Farwell has transferred nearly all of the remaining medicinal herbs from Herbscape Group.”
Roxanne’s heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to calm down quickly. “Please convey my thanks to Mr. Farwell. However—”
As far as Roxanne was concerned, Lucian did that in order to compensate for making use of her in the past. Therefore, she had no intention to accept his gift.
Moreover, Jack had already provided them with sufficient medicinal herbs. Before she could finish her sentence, Jack cut in. “Since this is a nice gesture from Mr. Farwell, I reckon you should kindly accept it, Ms. Jarvis.”
With a serious look on his face, Jack looked at Roxanne before he continued, “Our research is going to be more complicated in the future. There’s no harm in having more medicinal herbs.”
Anyway, they’re free. Why not?
Roxanne hesitated again. Cayden could not stand it any longer. Even though Lucian was ill, he still thought of her and tried to assist her. At the end of the day, she was actually planning not to accept his gift.
Just as Cayden was about to open his mouth, Roxanne finally nodded. “Please thank Mr. Farwell for his kindness.” Roxanne then nodded at Cayden with gratitude.
For some strange reason, Cayden felt a twinge in his heart. Does Ms. Jarvis accept these medicinal herbs because she wants them?
Or is she doing it because of what Jack tells her? Cayden could hardly breathe when he saw that another man had to convince Roxanne to accept Lucian’s kind gift.
As for Roxanne, she did not spare the matter any further thought. Instead, she went forward to check the herbs before getting her staff to carry them in.
“If there’s nothing else, I will make a move first. Grandpa is still waiting for my report on the medical consultation.”
Once Jack was done helping her with the inventory-taking, he took his leave.
Roxanne watched as his car left.
Suddenly, Cayden’s voice rang in her ears. “Ms. Jarvis.”
Upon hearing that, Roxanne turned around in confusion.
Cayden chose his words carefully even though he was feeling anxious. “If you don’t mind me asking, Mr. Damaris and you…”
He did not need to finish the rest of his sentence. Roxanne knew what he wanted to ask.
“We are just friends working together. Please don’t get the wrong idea.”
Naturally, Cayden did not quite believe her. Outwardly, he let out a sigh of relief and began to say nice things about Lucian.
“To be honest, Mr. Farwell gave the instruction to have these medicinal herbs transferred while he was still ill. The moment he feels better today, he told me to deliver these herbs over to you.”
Although Roxanne’s heart was racing, she nodded in acknowledgment. “Please thank Mr. Farwell for me.”
Cayden was dumbstruck.
That’s it?
Lucian regards her with utmost importance. In the end, is this all he gets? Just a word of thanks?
It was as if Roxanne knew what was on his mind, so she added, “The research institute owes Mr. Farwell a favor. Please let us know when he needs our help. We will try our best.”
Even though it was a promise, she only said she would try her best.
Cayden’s heart sank, and he felt sorry for Lucian.

More chapters please..
It is very interesting novel and kept me stay awake many nights reading and anticipating what comes next. However, it is too long and became boring at the end as Aubee continues her manipulation of Sonya and her evil doing. There seems to be repetition in many areas especially the misunderstanding of Lucian and Roxanne and didn’t like the last chapters at all. It makes Roxanne ungrateful, mean, and somewhat stupid.
An interesting novel keeping the reader anxious on what happened in the next chapter.
This is stress. The author needs to be more sensitive to the feelings of the reader. I have lost the pleasure of reading this novel. However, I will continue looking forward to reading the other chapters when they are posted because I believe there must be a resolution to this unending drama.
I think am losing interest in this book, it is getting boring by the day, please bring back the excitement.
Thank you,,,,,l am kindly asking if we could get more chapters in a short space of time ….
Oh comme on show some mercy !!!The story repeats once again !! Roxanne pushes away Lucian and Aubrey once again remains unharmed. There is nothing new only the usual misunderstandings. It is really frustrating and boring i can’t continue with this anymore i have already start skipping chapters there is no evolution !!!
I like the turn it’s taking the fact that Roxanne felt jealous after seeing Xo and Xo together… today the 10 chapters felt like 2 chapters i almost wanted to cry when I finished…. upload more soon. Fighting😁
From chapter 507, I knew these were not happy chapters for the day 😔🙃🙃
And once again the chapters end rather quickly please please upload more soon, there just isn’t enough to satiate one’s needs for this story 😞
This chapter is so annoying..
Oh no thought there was going to be more. Ah well I can wait
I thought as much 💔💔💔😭😭😭
Please keep updating more chapter
Happy to continue reading
Fastest read by skimming all chapters, scrolling to see if there was at least a 80% of more interactions between FMC & MMC. So thanks for another few chapters of not much happening. Be back again to scroll and to skim reading for the truth to come out. It’s just the same old misunderstanding between the two.
Thank you for posting 10 chapters. I hope you can post more very soon. Thanks again! ❤️
Is this book ever going to move on. I feel like they play this game with each other over and over and they never move on. The kids are still trying to get them together. Is there something wrong with Roxane? The men keeps telling her, he wants her but she keeps thinking that he’s in love with Aubrey. Anyway just opinions. It just seems like they go around and around and never gets anywhere.
This novel is good at starting but now I feel its disgusting, it keeps repeating the same confusion that never conclude.
Looking forward to new chapters
More chapters please… thank you
More chapters please
I do not know why ask for Readers opinions, when the actor is planning to ignore all the advice.
How come Aubree could see her car but Lucian couldn’t. It’s only dragging the story to mess. Why can’t they sit together and tell each other truths
😄😭😄😭🤷♀️
Why Aubree can see her car entering mansion but Lucian couldn’t. When will they sit to resolve. Why a mother can’t feel her children’s feelings for their father.
Thank you for the 10 chapters read. Fast forward please…..
Thanks for the chapters. Please give us a few each day to keep us going. Aubree and Jack always get in the way of Lucian and Roxanne causing more misunderstanding. Let Aubree be caught soon before she kills the children. Love the story, keep it coming.
Love the story, please keep the chapters coming.
This is good novel but its dragging alot especially now this last chapter was so stress and not needed ,please let them actually have a chance to love each other,too much misunderstandings
It shows that we are now able to predict what the next chapters will be like. When Aubree is with Lucian, Roxanne will know it, on other hand when Roxanne is with Jack, Lucian will figure it out.
more please
I feel like this is all a cat and mouse game. We don’t seem to be getting anywhere.
I felt lonely and depressed everytime Lucian and Roxanne is not in good terms..Roxanne pls have pity on Lucian..can you pls give him another chance? Anyways,more chapters dear Author..🙂
And again we got nowhere! The story is already getting a bit boring…
Can’t wait for more
Waited for long but the chapters weren’t so interesting. Aubrey always gets in the way…. Pls more chapters faster
Thank you. Looking forward to all secretd coming to light.
Boring chapters repeating same stuff happened… Nothing exciting to read.
Over Roxanne. Over Lucian. We are already at chapter 500 with no story progression, no character development.
Lucian does have more good karma point than Roxanne. Since he has told her he IS interested in her, and shows up when she needs help… vs Roxanne who is stuck 6 years in the past and wants to play a naive innocent female.
Neither side wants to listen to the other side and stay with their misconceptions. Im at the point hoping they just go their separate ways.
Also if EVERYONE is constantly asking if a person is MORE than a friend maybe reevaluate what is causing everyone to get the wrong idea. I mean every. Single. Person. Who see her and Jack ask her about their closeness repeatedly. Then she acts frustrated that Lucian seems to have the wrong idea.
At first the story was interesting but now it’s boring ,keeps on repeating one and the same thing, when will Lucian be treated good by Roxenne , when will they tell each other truth, please writer take the comments serious
Update soon please
Please more chapters and something more then the same thing every chapter we need to read about Lucian and Roxanne get together and not everyone trying to keep them apart.
More story pls
Thanks for good work.we need more chapters soon.
This story is now looking Indian movie which starts well under 5 episodes and becomes rubbish. I hope our writer is not an Indian with same storyline. I am also tired will be stopping here. In all the country Luciana could not handle Aubree and her family.
Love this story. Wish the story line would get moving along and let’s get rid of Aubrey. Some of the lines repeat and are getting boring
The readers might be less frustrated if you were to post more than 10 chapters at one time. It seems that getting a snippet of the story in 10 chapters is repetitive and boring. Maybe posting 20 chapters each time would rekindle our interest. Also, post the chapters more often or when the reviews hit 50. Then you’ll know that your readers remain captivated by Lucian and Roxanne’s story. Than you.
More chapters please..
Next chapters please ko
I always like when Roxane is doing her dr. Thing…I do wish L and R would progress the kids would feel complete …I get Roxanes fears…Sonya isn’t inviting Aubrey crap along with everything else I like Roxane but it’s time for her to come forward with the truth…it is an amazing story for both of them…they both took part in raising the kidos
The pauses and breaks from the author makes the reading of this novel boring…And the stalemate between Lucian and Roxanne is monotonous…🙄🙄
Need more chapters. It’s time to allow things to change for Lucian and Roxanne.
Aubree needs to be caught and dealt with
Pls give the twins a chance or moment to express their love to their father, they suffered to much on pretending that they didn’t know who is their dad, 😢😢😢
Roxanne needs to get away from the past. Lucian is not the only one at fault. When she found out she was pregnant she did not give Lucian a chance to know. Also telling the kids that their father abandoned them is wrong. She should give L a chance and he should tell her how he feels, and keep his mother out of his business. If Sonya loves Aubree that much she should marry her herself. I am sick of her. Such a meddlesome mother.
Please please more chapters and don’t keep going on about the same thing. !!
I think I am going to stop reading and move to another novel. This is dragging for months now. Better move to another fast paced novel.
Waiting for this Lucian & Roxanne to be together is killing me! I pity the kids😭😭😭
Needs a good twist and conclusion.
all the truths need to be exposed by the seniors attending the medical conference,
Having all the seniors in attendance, including the senior old Mr.Farnwell .
He has already cautioned Sonya about being used by Aubree, and now he hears about the young baby girl thought to being born still but brought to life by old Mr. McQueen and Old Mr. Damaris. puts all the parts together including that the twins are Essies siblings.
More pls..
Thank goodness there are more readers on here who are not happy with the ongoing cat and mouse game this author has turned this story into. We’re continuing to read just for the sake of getting to the end, not because we enjoy it. Author did a real stunning job in getting readers to turn on this story real quick. It’s the same storyline on repeat. Not cool author 😡
