However, as soon as her words fell, Lucian put his arms around her waist and kissed her on the lips. His actions promptly took Roxanne aback, and she instinctively glanced at the car just in time to see the heads of the three children poking out of the window.
“Mommy! We want a kiss too!” The children’s initial guilty expression changed after she noticed them, and they happily swung open the car door and got out.
Roxanne glanced at the calm-looking man in front of her before focusing on the children’s expectant expressions. She crouched down and kissed each child individually, the shyness within her vanished because of them.
The children also obediently encircled her neck with their arms and kissed her on the cheek. “Don’t forget to take good care of yourself, Mommy!”
Roxanne assented with a smile. After getting up and bidding farewell to Lucian, she turned and entered the research institute.
Although working overtime for two days did leave her feeling a little exhausted, seeing Lucian and the kids earlier had filled her with motivation once more.
Roxanne soon began to continue the morning’s research. However, shortly after she had been working, her phone vibrated. She glanced at it and discovered that it was a call from Jack.
Roxanne put her experiment on hold to take the call, assuming he was calling for research- related matters. Jack’s voice rang out from the other end of the line. “My apologies, Ms. Jarvis. I’ve been caught up in other matters for the past two days. Are you very busy there?”
She smiled understandingly at his words. “You need not apologize to me, Mr. Damaris. Given that your family owns such a sizable business, it’s understandable for you to be a little busy. I’m managing well with the research over here.”
However, Jack still felt apologetic. “I happened to be free today, so if you don’t mind, I can come to the research institute to help you.”
Roxanne hesitated when she heard that. “I’m sure you know that the Damaris family is knowledgeable in this aspect. I can spare you some detours and perhaps also offer some suggestions for improvement,” he added persuasively.
She naturally hoped that she could develop a new drug with superior efficacy, so she had no reason to refuse after hearing what he said.
“In that case, I’ll have to trouble you to come over, then.”
Jack merely chuckled before ending the call. Unbeknownst to Roxanne, Jack had arrived at the research institute a scant step behind Lucian and the children, nearly at the same time.
He had been waiting by the roadside for as long as she had been in Lucian’s car and had even witnessed their kiss at the end.
Seeing how close their family was made his blood boil. I cannot accept that! Roxanne is my perfect partner. She must be mine! If I allow her to be together with Lucian, all my previous efforts will be in vain!
Jack’s expression darkened with malice at that thought. After getting out of the car, he adjusted his expression before entering the research institute.
Hence, he was once again sporting an apologetic look by the time he saw Roxanne. “You’ve lost weight. It looks like you’ve been too busy of late.”
The latter took a quick moment to glance down at herself. Then, with a nonchalant smile, she led him to the entrance of another laboratory.
“After what happened last time, I’ve redesigned the research facility and divided it into laboratories of varying sizes. I’m working in a compact one-person laboratory. If you don’t mind, yours will be next to mine. That’ll make it easier for us to communicate.”
Although Roxanne had not initiated the kiss, he could tell by the smile on her face that she had already accepted Lucian’s affections..
The two were busy until eight at night. After exiting the laboratory, Jack checked the time and suggested, “It’s late now. Let’s have a meal together. We haven’t seen each other in a while.”
However, Roxanne declined apologetically as she was a little worn out, “Let’s do that some other day. I’m too tired today.”
“I’ll send you back, then,” he persisted. At his words, she could not help but recall her previous speculation and felt a bit concerned. “I appreciate your offer, Mr. Damaris, but I drove here. I’ll have problems getting to work tomorrow if you send me back, so it’s best not to.”
After saying that, she continued without giving. him a chance to reply, “It’s indeed a little late. Let’s head out early.”
Jack frowned in displeasure when he saw her turning on her heels and followed her to the entrance of the research institute.
Just as Roxanne was about to get in her car, he suddenly spoke. “Oh, by the way, if you have time tomorrow afternoon, come to Damaris Group. We haven’t talked much about the profit distribution of the new drug. Now that the research has taken shape, it’s time to put this issue on the agenda.”
She naturally would not refuse his invitation, so she promptly nodded. “All right. I’ll go there on time.”
After bidding each other a simple farewell, they got in their respective cars. Jack’s scowl deepened as he watched her drive. off slowly.
It’s crystal clear how different her attitude is toward Lucian and me. She’s wary of me. Lucian must’ve said something to her! There’s no guarantee that she won’t completely distance herself from me because of him at a later date. If that happens, we won’t have the chance to cooperate again!
As that thought crossed his mind, he glanced maliciously at a box of customized sandalwood. incense lying beside him. His mouth formed a sneer as he inhaled the distinct fragrance. Even if Lucian’s words are useful, so what? I’ve long made my move! Roxanne will never be able to get away from me!
On the way home, Roxanne contemplated Jack’s behavior during this period of time. Shet had always thought it was a little odd, but she could not quite put her finger on it. Even when her car had stopped in front of the mansion, she still could not figure it out.
Roxanne got out of the car absentmindedly, and just as she locked the door, she noticed that the mansion was brightly lit-even her room on the second level was still lit! When she noticed that, she halted her footsteps abruptly, and a feeling of wariness swept over her.
She was sure she turned off the lights when she left. Moreover, the children are at Lucian’s, so there shouldn’t be anyone at home. Even if he brought them back, no one would enter my room!
As Aubree’s face appeared in her mind, she instinctively took out her phone, intending to call Lucian. However, before she could do anything, the door to the mansion suddenly opened.
Archie poked his head out from behind the door. Only after spotting her did he feel assured to open the door wide. “Why are you not coming in, Mommy.” Roxanne finally felt relieved and looked at the little boy helplessly. “Why are you all back?” she inquired.
Archie’s eyes flitted around as he replied in his cute voice, “Daddy won’t let us tell. You’ll know when you come in and take a look.”
She was perplexed by his enigmatic response, and as soon as she entered the house, she noticed the small boxes in the living room. Benny and Estella were busy packing toys into the boxes.

Thanks again for uploading …looking forward for more chapters
Happy reader here
I can’t wait for the next update. I hope jack gets what’s coming to him.
Thanks for the chapters, can’t wait for more. Jack is back with his schemes. He does not even like her children, yet he wants her to make him great in the medical field. What a selfish man. She did not see what Colby was up to, and she almost died, hope she can see this Jack fella for who he really is. Poor R and L, besides Jack, Aubree and stupid Frieda they have Shawn to deal with. As for Aubree no matter where she is she will not stop her wicked ways. Loving this story. Happy reader here.
Thanks for the update, I hope we will keep getting frequent updates.
I Love as Jonathan was able to get half truth out of Frieda and I hope she will realize her mistakes and open up to her brother soon, I also hope Lucian will investigate and find out about Shaun,
Also hoping Roxanne will finally find out Jacks real self, and also for Lucian to find out about the boys true identity
I’m still wondering how Estella got to Lucian after birth, is it that the person that delivered Roxanne knew about her and Lucian and sent Estella to him since she was weak and Lucian being in the best position to take care of her medical needs?
Hmmm more chapters please can’t wait 🙏 😫
Jack if you have to try and trick her to win her, she will never be yours. Give up. More chapters please
Jack is almost as badminded as Aubree. Hope Lucian take him down a peg or two. He is out of order. Roxanne should not keep the boys identity from Lucian, its time he know the truth.
Thank you for the update. Weird Jack is up to something. I hope Roxanne is very careful and tells Lucian that she is going to the Dramas family. I hope he is caught before he does anything. This cycle of one person after the other trying to break up this family is becoming boring. Roxanne needs to tell Lucian that he is the father of her sons. Please post more chapters soon.
Wow, how exciting …more chapters please, I’m loving this book soo much 😀
More please
Jack needs to get out of the picture. More updates soon and more than 5 chapters
Thanks for these 5 chapters but I was anticiparing more. Can’t wait to find out what surprise awaiting Roxanne inside the house.
Jack has something up his sleeves when he invited Roxanne to dinner. I’m happy he declined. However, he was up with plan B. Roxanne to attend some business meeting with the Damaris group. Sigh!!!! Hope Roxanne will find out his intentions soon.
Happy that Frieda confessed although not fully. I guess there is a need to find the man who helped Aubree to escaped. His is a new case scenario qhich will flip the script in this story. Hope this novel will end soon so I can continue reading another one with similar story line.
I loved reading novels specially love story. Please more chapter!
Awesome
Oh how I wish Roxanne could tell the truth about the boys to Lucian quickly since that stupid Jack is also trying to come between R & L. I really love it when the awesome five are together. Please release 20 chapters or more PLEASE.
Loving this more chapters please! Thank you!
I’m so exited and trilled everytime I read this novel. I just hope Roxanne makes up her mind of leaving the Damaris company as soon as possible. Jack has an evil motive towards Roxanne and I’m afraid she will be getting hurt again. More chapters please..😉

Glad to see the progress Lucian is making with Roxanne. Hopefully there will
Be more significant growth in their relationship going forward

Interesting.
The uploads are too short
Can’t wait any longer
Please more chapters
Roxanne should be careful around Jack ooo
But I don’t like the fact that she is keeping Lucian waiting
And let her try the him about the boys pleaseeeeee
I think Jack is planning something against Roxanne,I don’t trust him and this insence burner. I think he put something in her drink both times when Lucian rescued her from him, and she passed out. He is a scheming man that thinks he is entitled to every and anything he wants.
Thank you for the updates… can we have more chapters please? I’m sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what will happen next.
please post more chapters.👍
Do I have to go on bended knees and ask for more chapters?? Well my knees are bended and ready to read more chapters. It’s weekend and I have time please. I want to know where Aubree is and I also want to know when Roxanne will reveal the boys identity. More chapters please and thanks.

I kept looking for follow-up chapters. Can’t wait to find out what Lucian was doing at Roxanne’s and did not want the children to tell her. Surprise! Surprise!!!! Roxanne. Hope it’s a good surprise.
Quite interesting upload at least 10 chapters like before
I’m excited for the next chapter please love it thank you!
More pls
Ms writter more chapters pls. 🙏
Please more!!!! This is so good
Interesting…
Waiting for more chapters…
When will Roxxanne tell Lucian about the boys’ identity?
When will Roxanne and Lucian make love again?
Is Roxanne having cravings for real? Could she by chance be pregnant from that drunken sexual encounter with Lucian that weekend she went to the medical consultation at the Nursing Home? I believe strongly she is pregnant and this is what will speed up her re-wed of Lucian, put a widge between her and Jack”s working partnership and smash Jack’s selfish dreams. Afterall Jack would deserve it for drugging her drink.
I hope Audree meets her punishment soon.
Please keep the chapters comibg.
So interesting story and I love it thanks you for this please update more please update more thank you
Thankyou for the additional chapters
More chapters please. I’m here relaxing and waiting to read.
