When the four of them arrived home, Roxanne was already done preparing dinner, and she was resting on the couch. Upon hearing noises at the door, she woke up immediately and went to open the door.
“Mommy!” The kids rushed toward her and hugged her legs. Roxanne lowered her gaze and patted their heads with a smile on her face. “Did you guys have fun today?”
Benny nodded fervently before turning back to look at Lucian with his pair of bright eyes. “Yes! Daddy brought us to the amusement park, and we watched a movie!”
Roxanne smiled when she heard the joy in Benny’s voice. She only realized how Benny had addressed Lucian a few seconds later. When she did, the smile on her face froze. Instead of asking Benny what was going on, she gave Lucian an inquisitive glance.
Noticing that, Lucian explained matter-of-factly, “I told them to address me so when we’re in the public. After all, I’ve already made it known to the public. If others were to hear them addressing me another way, it would be troublesome.”
A weird look flashed across Roxanne’s eyes when she heard that. She patted the kids’ heads and kept mum. It’s a matter of time before they address Lucian as “Daddy.” That’s something I have to accept. I just hope the kids won’t blame me after they find out about their backgrounds.
Archie sensed the awkward atmosphere and broke the silence by saying, “Mommy, I’m starving!” Roxanne came back to her senses and answered, “Let’s eat! Go and wash your hands, okay? I’ll heat up the food.”
The kids nodded obediently, took off their shoes, and entered the house. Lucian washed his hands first and followed Roxanne into the kitchen.
His presence was just impossible to ignore, and it led to Roxanne recalling the kiss they had shared at that exact spot. Her body stiffened instantly. “I’m sorry, I should’ve checked you before telling the kids to address me so.”
Lucian’s deep voice rang out from behind her. Roxanne halted in her tracks and lowered her gaze to hide her awkwardness. She calmed herself down and uttered flatly, “It’s all right. You’re right. They should address you so in public.”
With that, Roxanne quickly changed the topic because she was afraid that Lucian would bring up Archie’s and Benny’s backgrounds. “The food is ready. Let’s eat.”
Lucian knew she was avoiding the topic, so he didn’t pursue the matter. Instead, he helped her bring the dishes out.
By then, the kids were already sitting at the dining table. They had even sat on one side so that their parents could sit next to each other on the opposite side of the table.
While Lucian had taken his seat in a calm manner, Roxanne hesitated for a moment before she eventually sat down next to him.
During dinner, Roxanne was constantly spacing out because of how Benny had addressed Lucian. Besides, she had been kept busy at work for the past couple of days. She only snapped out of her reverie when she saw a peeled prawn in her bowl.
“Have you been tiring yourself out for the past couple of days?” Lucian’s heart wrenched in pain. Roxanne pulled herself together and smiled. “I’m fine. I’m just going to be busy for the time being.”
With that, she wanted to serve the kids some food. However, she saw that the kids’ plates were already filled up, so she instantly shifted her gaze toward Lucian. At that moment, he was still peeling prawns, and he hadn’t had time to eat his dinner.
Roxanne felt touched by what she saw, so she thanked Lucian softly. In response, Lucian served her another peeled prawn.
After dinner, the kids tactfully went upstairs and gave their parents some privacy. Roxanne cleared the dining table, and when she was about to do the dishes, Lucian held her hand and pushed her to the side. “Since you’re tired, go outside and get some rest.”
With that, Lucian rolled up his sleeves and started washing the dishes. Although that wasn’t the first time Roxanne had seen Lucian do that, she was still surprised by what she saw. If Lucian had treated me this way six years ago, would we be a happy family by now?
Seeing that Roxanne was still there, Lucian started making small talk. “Where’s Lysa? Why is she not here?”
Roxanne snapped back to reality and answered, “She hasn’t been feeling well, so I told her to rest.” “Then I’ll look for a housekeeper to help you guys at home.”
Roxanne shook her head in response. “There’s no need for that. I can’t trust anybody else now. Once I’m done with what I’m busy with, I’ll have. the time to take care of the kids.”
While talking, Roxanne yawned. Lucian turned back to look at her before picking up his pace to finish doing the dishes. With the dishes done, he brought her out of the kitchen. Roxanne was feeling groggy, so she followed him to the couch and sat down.
Lucian massaged her temples and said, “Must you keep working with the Damaris family? Since you’re so overworked, perhaps you should cancel the collaboration. If you wish to make a living in Chanaea, I can help you.”
Roxanne’s tiredness subsided a little when Lucian was massaging her. However, she couldn’t help but frown when she heard Lucian’s suggestion. With a straight face, she uttered, “We’ve already signed the contract. How can I just cancel it?”
“I’ll pay the termination fee for you,” Lucian answered in a deep voice. “It’s not that simple. It’s important that I develop the drug. There’s too little anti-cancer medication in the local market. If I can develop a new drug, I’m certain I can save a lot of lives.” Roxanne smiled and shook her head. Prior to this, I was adamant about working with the Damaris family because I wanted their ancient medicine books. Now, however, I think it’s more important for me to treat more diseases and help more people.
With a solemn look in her eyes, she added, “I’ve been a doctor for so many years, and I’ve seen too many patients who were tortured to death. by diseases, especially cancer. It’s an utter nightmare. Patients are suffering every day, and there’s no cure for them. They can’t do anything but wait for their time to end. As they approach the later stages of the disease, their lives are basically hell. I want that to end because I’ve seen enough of it.”
The look in Lucian’s eyes softened up after he listened to Roxanne. “I understand how you feel.” “Although I’m exhausted, I think it’s all going to be worth it.” Roxanne let out a sigh.
Still massaging her temples, Lucian said, “I know you want to help people, but you need to take care of yourself as well. If you keep going on like this, you’re going to get sick. If that happens, won’t your research be in vain?”
Roxanne nodded, indicating that she knew what she was doing. “I’m a doctor, so I know my body well. Don’t worry.”
Lucian didn’t respond to that. Instead, he just kept looking at her. I understand her feelings, but how can I not worry about her?

Enjoying the book, though now and then new characters are appearing as rivals either for Roxanne or Lucian.
But, what is still intriguing me is that WHY Roxanne has not look into the matter concerning the supposed death of Essie at her birth though a Dr herself .. It seems she has taken it for granted, OK got back my lost child, that’s it.
Enjoying the book however, The uploads are too slow. Need to know what’s Roxanne and lucian’s fate
Можно больше глав
Очень интересная книга
Hoping this author will post all the chapters until the end. As a senior citizen reading makes me happy. Hope this author continue writing and more books like this. God bless you.
Thank you for the chapters, an interesting turn of events. Please upload soon. Roxanne should stop leaving the children home alone. Ophelia could have gotten to them if Lucian had not shown up. It’s time for her to let Lucian know the boys are his. First if he knows he will take them away from her, now is if they know they will be mad at her for keeping their identity a secret. She needs to stop being selfish.
Dear Author pliz reveal the identity of two boys it takes too much time this made the story boring instead of exiting.
I want Lucian and Roxanne fight together to their enemy.
Now another obstacle enters the ring by the name Shawn. Aubree and her accomplices need to meet their demise soon, its enough of their madness. I like the way Roxanne and the kids treated Jack when he showed up at their house, he should realize he’s not wanted there. Sonya should take her rotten behavior towards Roxanne elsewhere, its time she stop. I hope I will not have to read about Aubree soon. She is too much of a disturbed lunatic, enough of this sick behavior.
Interesting twist.
Thank you author for the updates..the story is getting exited and am really trilled.Please have more chapters updated soon..🙂
Thank you for the updates. It is getting very interesting. But I hope Ophelia and Aubree get caught very soon, and banished for their crimes. Lucian’s investigation team has not been productive so far and I hope they do a better job this time and catch Ophelia in the act. Lucian has changed to become more caring and more communicative, but it is taking Roxanne forever to tell her sons and Lucian their identity. Now that Lucian told them to call him daddy, there is no point for her to hide. She is being selfish. I am begging to doubt about her intelligence, and whether she is making the interest of her children and Lucian a priority. Please post more updates sooner.
More chapters please these were quite short!
Awesome read, can we please not wait another 3more days for the next update please please,pretty please😊
Hmmm….. I hope Roxanne tells Lucian about the boys paternity now, so as to make them more united against attacks. Because, I foresee a major issue very soon….

Why is it so difficult to update the novel, been at the same capture for days now in Her sudden departure
When will the novel be updated with more chapters
Roxane est vraiment fatiguante à ne pas dire à Lucien que les garçons sont de lui
The storyline on Aubree has dragged long enough, given her current state, it would be best to end with her committing one last unsuccessful attempted murder and be placed behind bars forever. The story could then focus on Jack whilst still having the suspense of Rossane still not putting on the ring till the boys identity surfaced and Jack surrendering. The story could perhaps end there.
A follow up storyline could focus on that Crawford guy plotting revenge on Lucian and how Rossane could step in to help support him.
Loving this book, can’t wait for more chapters… it’s amazing how this book keeps me intrigued and excited to read more… waiting patiently for the new chapters
Really interesting
Hoping to see more
