Even though he had ridiculed Sonya brazenly just now, he couldn’t help but feel guilty now that she had left in anger. Roxanne’s heart ached for Benny when she heard his tone and turned to Elias nervously as well, worried that he would say no.
However, Elias seemed to be taken aback by Benny’s question. He stared at him for a few seconds before replying with a smile. “Of course, you can. I’ve always wanted a grandson. You two make up for my regret as you are so well-behaved.”
Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing. his words and shot Elias a grateful look.
“Grandpa!” Archie and Benny called out in delight upon receiving Elias’ affirmative answer.
After finishing his breakfast, Elias smiled at them before getting up to leave, probably to meet Sonya. The three children were not done eating. Hence, Roxanne stayed back and accompanied them.
Roxanne attempted to communicate with her kids and said, “In the future, try your best not to argue with Mrs. Farwell and do your best to make her like you.”
However, she soon realized that she might be asking too much of her children. After all, even she couldn’t bear listening to Sonya’s overbearing remarks sometimes. How could she expect her children to put up with it?
“We understand.” Archie nodded. “Don’t worry, Mommy. Benny just thought that Mrs. Farwell had gone overboard just now and couldn’t help himself. Besides, he was right.”
Benny nodded matter-of-factly when he saw that Archie was siding with him. “Since Mrs. Farwell doesn’t like us addressing her as Grandma, we won’t do it!”
Estella nodded seriously as well, showing her support for her brothers. Seeing how determined her children were, Roxanne couldn’t help but smile before turning to look at Estella seriously. “Essie, your brothers are allowed to not address her like that, but not you.”
The little girl nodded obediently. Roxanne knew that her boys had done nothing wrong. So, she said nothing and continued to have breakfast with them.
Lucian’s call came in right then. Roxanne took out her phone and looked at the caller ID before instinctively glancing at her children.
The three of them knew what Roxanne was getting at and continued to eat breakfast silently as if they could hear nothing.
Noticing their reaction, Roxanne didn’t have the heart to keep it from them and took the call right before them. “You’re up?”
Lucian’s voice was laced with concern and a hint of a smile. Roxanne’s face went crimson. However, realizing that her children were right in front of her, she tried to stay cool and said, “We’re having our breakfast.”
Lucian let out a soft sigh. “I’m sorry. I had wanted to accompany you in the morning, but there’s an urgent task at work, and I had no other choice but to come over here first.”
Afterward, he shifted his attention to Roxanne’s health and asked, “How are you feeling? Do you feel unwell anywhere?” Roxanne decided to keep her condition from him and begrudgingly said, “No. I’m all right.”
How could she say that her back almost broke in front of her children? Lucian appeared to be quite disappointed by the answer. “Really? It seems like I’ve got to work harder.”
Roxanne immediately lowered the volume of her speaker and steered the topic. “If you have nothing else, I think that’s it for now. The kids are not done eating yet.”
Sensing her undertones, Lucian let out a chortle. “I just want to know what you think after last night, and I’m wondering if you will run back home when I’m not around.”
Last night, he restrained himself in every possible way because he was afraid of scaring Roxanne and making her retreat into her shell.
He continued to worry after arriving at the office this morning. Hence, he quickly called her after the meeting was done. Roxanne appeared hesitant when answering him. “I… I do want to go back, but it’s not because of what happened last night.”
The first part of her reply made him furrow his brows. However, he was relieved after hearing that it was not because of last night. Perplexed, he asked, “Why, then?”
Roxanne cast a glance at Archie and Benny. She got up and headed toward the living room. In a low voice, she explained, “Mrs. Farwell doesn’t like Archie and Benny, and my presence is only going to make matters worse. I just hope that they can get along well. So, I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to continue staying at the manor.”
Upon hearing the woman’s concerns, Lucian’s eyes softened, and he reassured her in a deep, comforting voice, “You don’t need to worry about that. I’ve discussed this with them. They will leave soon.”
Roxanne was taken aback by his reply. “When? What did you say to them?” Lucian didn’t answer her questions and merely replied, “They’ve always stayed at the Farwell main residence. So it will be more convenient for them if they go back there. Staying together with us is only going to make things difficult for them.”
Noticing his reluctance to answer her question, Roxanne decided against pressing on. However, she felt something didn’t quite add up. and said, “But, I’m the outsider. If you ask them to go back because of me-”
“We’re going to be a family if you agree to my proposal,” Lucian interjected. “As for my mom and dad, you don’t need to worry about them holding grudges against you. I’ll deal with that.” Roxanne backed down when he brought up the proposal again. “I believe that you will…”
Then, she lifted her gaze to look at the time and said sheepishly, “It’s getting late. I should head to the research institute now. You should continue with your work too.”
Lucian didn’t want to force a reply out of her and hummed a response, waiting for her to hang up.
Roxanne let out a relieved sigh after watching the phone screen go dark. After greeting Catalina and telling her to take good care of the children, she changed into her work clothes and headed to the research institute.
After the discussion and research session with Jack yesterday, they were only one step away from the final formulation of the new drug. They only needed one more day to finalize it.
Roxanne threw the unpleasant incident in the morning to the back of her mind at the thought of her work. She realized that Jack had already been waiting when she arrived at the research institute.
“Mr. Damaris.” Jack’s attitude toward her had taken a roller coaster recently. However, Roxanne decided to treat him as no more than a work partner.
Since the collaboration was led by Damaris Group this time, Jack was actually her superior now. Hence, Roxanne felt guilty that she was caught getting late to work by her boss.
Jack’s eyes darkened at the sight of the faint hickey on her neck. However, he suppressed his fury and greeted Roxanne with a smile..
“You must be tired from the overtime work these days, Ms. Jarvis, so it’s good for you to get some rest. Since you’re already here, let’s get on with the final step. I really hope we can succeed this time.”
Roxanne nodded and regained her composure. She changed into her lab coat and walked into the laboratory.
The two of them worked separately, and after working for one whole morning, Roxanne finally had a breakthrough. “I think
… I’ve done it.”
It was not easy for them to succeed. Adding on top of the fact that there had been many failures along the way, Roxanne was especially careful this time. Jack heard her and quickly went to her direction.
The two of them tested the efficacy of the medicine. Upon testing it on lab mice, it was found that Roxanne’s new medicine managed to reduce the activity of the cancer cells in them!!
“We did it!” Jack grabbed Roxanne’s shoulder and tapped on it. “I knew my judgment was right. I knew you could do it!”
At the same time, he vowed to make Roxanne his woman. A medical genius like Roxanne was born for the Damaris family, and she could only realize her true potential if she married him. Hence, Jack knew he would never give her up, no matter what it took.

Absolutely great chapter
Looking forward for more update
Happy reader here
Thanks for the update Jack must go right out of Roxanne’s life, Aubree must be caught and face
wats coming to her, the children must know their dad’s true ID. I hope for a happy ending for the family, more chapters please.
Thanks for the chapters. Please upload sooner. I don’t know what is Sonya problem, being so mean to to the boys. If she has her way she would forgive and encourage Aubree back to be Lucian wife. Roxanne should let the boys identity be known, then and only then will Sonya accept them. At least Elias likes them. Jack is such a selfish man, wanting a woman because of her research skills. He does not even like her children. His parents warned him some chapters ago when they thought he was seeing her, saying she has two sons. What would they say now that its three kids. I hope Roxanne doesn’t fall into his trap. He is no better than Aubree, they are suitable for each other. Love this novel, thanks again.
obrigada pelas atualizações!!
Queria ter lido mais detalhes da noite da Roxanne e do Lucian 😁
Não vejo a hora da Sonya descobrir a origem de Archie e Benny e parar de tratar eles tão mal assim.
Ansiosa para os próximos capítulos!!
Dear Author,
These recently added chapters are so intriguing. Cant wait to hear Roxanne and Lucian wedding bells, including the grand reveal – Archie and Benny’s true identity.
Is Roxanne pregnant now?
Interesting story and love it thanks for this. Interesting story and please update more please update more please thank you for this
OMG!!! I didn’t even think about that…
Now getting more interesting, hope Jack won’t get the chance to play dirty games
Love this novel 😍 more chapters please time for the boys Identity to be released Sonya could be stopped
I love the story and I am very curious of what follows… please let the children be finally happy, reunited with their father. They need to know they belong together, that they are father and sons.
More chapters please. Thanks!
5 chapters is too short pliz if possible make 10 chapters.
Thanks for the update,
Expecting more chapters soon
Well played Lucian, thanks for the update.
Please upload more chapters.
Getting good love it, more chapters. Thank you
I do think that Sonya played a role in Lucian wanting to be with Aubree six years ago and thinking that Roxanne was not good enough for him. Back then his mom seemed to control him. Now he does not let her. I also think he did not sign the divorce papers. Just my thoughts. I hope whatever Scheming Jack is planning does not work. Lucian and Roxanne was not given a fair chance in their marriage because of devil woman Aubree and grudge minded Sonya. They deserve to be happy along with their children. Happy reader, keep the chapters coming sooner.
Thank you very much for the chapters. I will be waiting for the update.
Mouth watering chapters. Roxanne and the children moved into the manor, what a pele pele!!!!! Happy that she and Lucian are getting ‘closer’. Jack needs to get loss.
I can’t wait for the revelation of the boys identity. I want to know how the Farwells will accept it.
Sonya needs to give Roxanne and her sons a break. Especially the innocent boys. I liked Benny’s pesonality. He is one to put both Jack and Sonya in their rightful places.
Thanks for these amazing chapters, awaiting more.
Thanks for the updateth..
Its time the children identity be made known that So ya can treat them better.
I think Elias will realize.that.the.children are Farwells
I’m so proud of Mr. Farewell’s attitude towards the twins and for allowing them to call him GranPa. I wish Sonya could swallow her pride and follow her husband’s attitude respectively. I hate that Jack fellow and hope Ms Javis doesn’t fall for his sweet talks & lunch invitations. Lucian & Roxanne should get married quickly. Please release more chapters.
More chapters please..
Oooh Jack stop dreaming about Roxanne becoming your life partner..
Thanks for the updated chapters…looking forward to more!!
Love this novel.thanks for the updates.please more chapters can’t wait..
So exciting!.. Please upload more chapters. Thanks

Thanks to the writer
Great chapters. I agree that jack needs to go. He seems to be going down the Aubree path. Roxanne needs to finally be honest about the children and the fact that Lucian is their dad. Sonya needs to get off her high horse and let them all be happy. Ready to read more.
Just when it’s getting so interesting they only give us one chapter. Please give more chapters at a go to keep us hooked like we are .
Excellent
Thanks for the update! Hope jack keeps his hands off on Roxanne, he plays dirty tricks on her. More please keep up the good story, love the novel!
Mr. Damaris you better get out of Roxanne’s life if you don’t want to be beaten up black and blue by Lucian and his bodyguards😅 Roxanne is for Lucian only..❤️😄
Jack is as bad as Aubree. They both need to get out of the picture. More chapters please.
I can’t wait to read more chapters!
Wow – that was a great couple of chapters. Really enjoying the flow of the story – please don’t let Jack mess up the wonderful relationship between Roxanne and Lucian, it will be a huge disappointment to me. Its been 756 chapters of trials and tribulations – please no more circles. Thanks for a good read though
Thanks for the chapter. Jack is planning something terrible for Roxanne. He doesn’t care about her or here children. He only wants to use her for his medical establishment. He must be out of her life. Roxanne is taking forever to let Lucian know that her sons are his.
Love this novel, I am wondering what really happened with the children were born. Seems like somebody did something, underhanded back then. I agree Jack needs to go, he is too underhanded to be associated with Roxanne and the kids. Aubrey and Shawn needs to be caught and punished.
Question for the author?
How many chapters will this book have when it’s finished?
I wish I could pay to read all chapters now as I’m constantly checking for updates as loving the twists!
Great and wonderful story so far. Keep it coming

I’m excited for the next chapter thanks for the update!
I am hoping that Lucian and Roxanne will have another baby girl together, so they can raise her along with their other three and be happy. Wacko Jack should not covet Lucian woman and Roxanne medical skills. More chapters please, please. I am waiting.
Getting more exciting. I always wished a happy ending they deserved it. With jack and Aubrey hopely they left Lucian family alone.
Thanks for the updates.

Nice chapters but the closure seems to be still far away.
Please update soon, as it still feels like the ending is so far away. The boys, Roxanne and Lucian, Jack, Aubrey, the new guy that hates Lucian, it all hasn’t been settled yet and I’m dying to know what happens to each in the end… Thank you for such an amazing book!!!!
Keep them coming! Great work 🎉
