However, that piqued Jonathan’s interest. “Why? Is Roxanne working with the Damaris. family again? Do you need my help with anything?”
Lucian managed to detect the hint of derision in his voice and snickered. “Go on and acquire the Damaris family’s medicinal herbs company if you’d really like to help.” Jonathan rubbed his nose sheepishly and said, “Well, anything but that.”
“Then there’s nothing you can do. Bye.” Lucian hung up the call right after that. Jonathan’s face was full of reproach as he watched his phone screen go dark.
That was the second time Lucian had woken him up in the middle of the night and hung up. after dropping a bomb on him. It had taken him considerable effort to finally drift off to sleep. Great. It looks like I won’t be able to sleep at all tonight, either!
Jonathan lay back down in bed, scrolling through his phone as he attempted to fall asleep. However, a trending post on social media immediately caught his attention.
The post read: Breaking news! Roxanne Jarvis, the ex-wife of Lucian Farwell, was spotted secretly meeting up with the eldest son of the Damaris family!
Jonathan initially thought his eyes were playing tricks on him as he crawled out of bed. He stared at the post for a few more seconds to confirm what he had read before he finally believed what he was seeing. Then, he clicked on the post to find out more.
There were several pictures posted in the thread. In the photos, Roxanne and Jack were sitting face to face at a table by the window of a restaurant, chatting and enjoying each other’s company.
There were even a few angles that captured the gleam in Roxanne’s eyes. Even Jonathan couldn’t help speculating about Roxanne and Jonathan’s relationship at the sight of the photos. Then, he read the comments on the post. Netizen A: Roxanne Jarvis? Didn’t she just get back together with Mr. Farwell?
Netizen B: She didn’t clarify the rumors regarding her and Mr. Damaris back then. Now, it seems like there really is something between them!
Netizen C: I guess this is the perk of being a pretty girl. She can get two handsome, wealthy men falling head over heels for her at the same time!
The comment section was full of slanderous remarks about Roxanne and speculations about her relationship with Jack and Lucian. Jonathan grew increasingly alarmed as he continued reading the comments.
No wonder Lucian asked me that question just now. If it were another family, they would have collapsed like the Pearsons or the Hightowers. I have to say, Lucian has met a formidable opponent this time. I wonder what Roxanne thinks, though.
Sleep eluded Jonathan after he saw the post, and he immediately sent Lucian the link to the post. Meanwhile, Lucian just got back to the Farwell residence. Confused upon seeing the link Jonathan sent him, he asked: What’s this?
Jonathan replied: Just click the link. Otherwise, you’re going to regret it tomorrow morning. Lucian furrowed his brow when he read Jonathan’s reply. He clicked on the link while washing up. The title of the post made him stop brushing his teeth abruptly. Following that, his face sank when he saw the photos inside the thread.
He had to admit that both Jack and Roxanne were excellent doctors, and he believed Roxanne when she told him that they only met up to talk about medicine. However, he had never imagined that Roxanne would be so happy while she was with Jack..
She had never smiled at him like how she did with Jack. Grabbing a towel, he wiped his face dry and walked out of the bathroom before sitting on his bed, scrolling through the comment section with a solemn look on his face. His face turned dark as thunder as he read the myriad of speculations about Roxanne’s relationship with Jack.
Cayden was fast asleep in his bed when at phone call roused him. He glanced at his phone and noticed that it was a call from Lucian. He immediately sprung up from bed and took a few seconds to regain his senses before taking the call. “Mr. Farwell.”
Lucian’s cold voice rang out. “Contact the Public Relations Department and order them to publicize my relationship with Roxanne. I want everyone to know about us!”
Shocked by Lucian’s order, Cayden was wide awake. What happened? Why does Mr. Farwell suddenly want to publicize his relationship with Mrs. Farwell? And in the middle of the night, no less?
In a shaky voice, Cayden uttered, “Mr. Farwell, Mrs. Farwell’s two children’s identities are unverified. I’m afraid that public opinion is not going to go easy on Mrs. Farwell and the Farwell family if you publicize the relationship.”
Lucian’s face turned grim on the other end of the phone when he thought about Roxanne’s two children. He knew he had Archie and Benny to thank for the current stage of his and Roxanne’s relationship.
If their biological father didn’t turn up, he wouldn’t mind treating the two boys as his own. Besides, they were about the same age as Estella. With that thought in mind, Lucian told Cayden, “Validate their identities, then.” Dumbstruck, he asked, “Are you saying…”
“From today onward, they’re the Farwell boys whom Roxanne took away when we got divorced back then,” Lucian stated plainly. His tone was flat and impassive as if he was talking about something inconsequential.
However, Cayden was flabbergasted. He was aware of Lucian’s feelings for Roxanne, but he never thought that Lucian would go so far as to acknowledge her children and even claim them as his own. What in the world happened?
Before Cayden could respond, Lucian’s voice sounded again, “I want everyone to be informed about this by tomorrow morning!” He hung up right after.
Cayden was caught in a dilemma as he watched his phone screen go dark. Do I really have to wake everyone in the Public Relations Department right now? In the middle of the night?
Then again, it didn’t seem like he had any other choice. Cayden called the person in charge of the Public Relations Department first before. checking his social media. He wanted to search for the rumors spreading online about Lucian and Roxanne.
