His And Her Marriage Novel chapter 1761 - 1780

chapter 1761 – The Head Of The Family There was nothing left for Shawn to say, so
he sent Peregrine back.

In no time, he and Frieda were the only ones left in the mansion. “Are we really going to
let him work at Roxanne’s research institute?

You put in so much effort to hire him!” Frieda was indignant on his behalf. However,
Shawn shot her a glare and snapped, “What then?

What else can we do? Are you saying that you’re capable of making him stay?”

Frieda flinched and clamped her mouth shut, but she still felt aggrieved. What good is
Roxanne? How is she making the King of Medicine stay for her?

Clearly, we can provide him with better treatment. If he stays, he should be staying with
us instead! The atmosphere in the living room turned tense.

Shawn frowned and was quiet for long while. All of a sudden, he said, “Even if we can’t
keep that old man around, we can’t let Roxanne get such a good deal so easily!”

Frieda nodded in agreement before curiously asking, “What do we do then?” Peregrine

joining Roxanne’s research institute was already a matter set in stone.

What could they possibly do to stop Roxanne from getting away with that? When Shawn
glanced at her again, the fury on his face dissipated.

With a smile, he filled a cup of tea for her and said, “Regardless of everything, you were
the one who hired Old Mr. Lomax.

Now that he has treated Roxanne, they should be thanking you.” Frieda turned to look
at him in confusion.

Impatience surged through Shawn, but he forced himself to stay calm as he said, “Go
home and tell your brother about this. I believe he’s not an unreasonable man.”

Frieda’s heart skipped a beat in excitement, but she was still plagued with a little worry.
“But my brother… Even if he wants to thank me, he’ll thank me with some money and
nothing too substantial.”

ue to her interactions with Shawn and Aubree, Jonathan had been wary of her. Even if
she did return to the Queen family, she would not be able to get an important position.
Those thoughts infuriated Frieda. She was also part of the Queen family, but while
Jonathan was regarded with great importance, she could only be lorded over by her
brother.

Shawn could see the fury in her eyes, and a cold look flashed past his own eyes. He
then slowly consoled, “If I can say that, it means I have a way to get you an important
position. All you need to do is heed my instructions.”

Frieda was tempted by his words. tanding beside her, Shawn pulled her into his arms
and said to her in a low voice, “We’re in the same boat.

Why would I lie to you? Didn’t I help you hire Old Mr. Lomax when you asked me to find
someone to save Roxanne?”

Upon his persuasion, Frieda began to show signs of relenting. “Just do as I say. Who
knows who’ll end up as the future head of the Queen family?”

Shawn persisted. Finally, Frieda leaned into his arms and softly said, “I’ll… talk to my
brother about this then. Let’s see how he plans to thank me.”

Shawn lowered his gaze to look at the woman in his arms. There was nothing but
gloominess in his eyes, but he patted her shoulder in encouragement as he said, “I’ll be
waiting for your good news.”

The two of them continued to discuss more details about the plan for a while longer.
When it was getting late, Shawn sent someone to bring Frieda home.

chapter 1762 -

chapter 1762 – Jail Meanwhile, Roxanne had a pale look on her face, but Lucian did
not know if it was because she had not
fully recovered from the poison or because she was in a foul mood.

Lucian was worried, so after exiting the hotel, he brought her to lunch before taking her
to the hospital for a full-body checkup.

Knowing that he was worried, Roxanne went along with his plans. Lucian was finally at
ease after Roxanne underwent a series of tests and was confirmed to be mostly fine.

“I know my own body. The poison is gone,” Roxanne softly reassured him. “It’s just that
too many things have happened lately, and I’m having a hard time digesting them all. I’ll
be fine once things blow over.”
Roxanne would feel wistful every time she thought about Jack’s true nature and the
collapse of Damaris Group.

At that, Lucian pulled her into an embrace and spoke in a quiet voice. “Jack only has
himself to blame for the downfall of Damaris Group.

Furthermore, the Damarises have to bear the responsibility for not noticing what he has
been doing. To put it simply, it was them who caused their fall from grace.”

Jack’s vision for the continued development of Damaris Group, if realized, would result
in worsening circumstances over time.

If their cover had not been blown this time, it was highly probable that Damaris Group
would be implicated in an irreparable medical mishap the next time.
Perhaps this was the best ending for Damaris Group instead of involving even more
victims.

Roxanne knew that, and yet, she still could not help but feel wistful about it. If this is the
true nature of Damaris Group, a company known for its benevolence, what about the
other medical groups?

Roxanne wondered if her decision to put her patients as her priority was wrong.
Seemingly reading her mind, Lucian leaned closer to her ear and said, “Every
professional has their own responsibilities.

Damaris Group was established by a family of doctors, and they should prioritize saving
lives. Even if they sought wealth, they should not have taken the path of evil.

They were the ones who mixed up their priorities. Doctors like you are a rare sight now.
I’d say Peregrine liked how you continued walking down the path you initially chose, and
that’s why he has chosen to stay at your research institute.”

He then ran his fingers through Roxanne’s hair and continued, “With me around, you
won’t need to worry about money as Jack did.

All you need to do is focus on your medical career and leave the financial issues to me.”
Moved, Roxanne smiled at him.

Despite his subtle words, she understood that he was asking her to hold on to her
principles and ethics. His reassurances washed away her worries, and she no longer
appeared so grim. A comfortable silence ensued in the car.

Right then, the ringing of a phone broke that silence. Taking out her phone, Roxanne
realized it was a call from Madilyn.
Smiling, she answered the call. “What’s up, Madilyn?” Madilyn sounded excited. “I saw
the news! I saw how Jack was caught!

I can’t believe that petty man was thinking of running after hurting you like that. He
better stay stuck in prison for the rest of his life!”

Roxanne turned to look at Lucian. At the end of the day, Lucian was the one who
managed to make Jack pay for his actions.

“By the way, how do you feel? Have you recovered completely?” Madilyn asked in
concern. “I just had a checkup at the hospital. I’ve mostly recovered.”

“That’s fantastic!” Madilyn was even more excited than her. “This is a double blessing!
Let’s head out to celebrate, and it’ll be my treat. Bring Mr. Farwell and the kids along.”

chapter 1763 -

chapter 1763 – Continuation Upon hearing her best friend’s words, Roxanne could not
help but tease, “Are you sure you want to foot the bill if I’m bringing Lucian along?”

Roxanne knew her friend far too well. There was no way Madilyn was going to pass up
on a chance to take advantage of Lucian.

Yet, to her surprise, Madilyn did not hesitate in her answer. “I’ll do that next time. This is
a celebratory meal for you. Mr. Farwell will have to get in line if he wants to treat you
too.”

A chuckle escaped Roxanne. “All right, I won’t spare your wallet, then.” Madilyn
hummed in agreement. “I’ll send you the location of the restaurant later, so just follow
the address.”

Without saying anything further, they ended the call. Roxanne turned to Lucian and
said, “Madilyn is treating us to dinner tonight, and she asked us to bring the kids along.”

Lucian inclined his head, and they drove back to pick the three children up. The children
had not seen Roxanne since Lucian sent them home the night before.

When they finally saw their mother returning safe and sound, they were visibly thrilled.
“Mommy, you’re back!”

Roxanne smiled and crouched down to hug the children who darted toward her before
listening to the merry words they had for her.
After a while of chatting with them, she said, “Come on, let’s get changed. Your Aunt
Madilyn is treating us tonight, so we’re heading out for dinner.”

The children were even more excited to hear that their godmother was buying dinner.
“Hooray to Aunt Madilyn!”

The family of five had reunited, with Roxanne now fully recovered. Additionally, they
were looking forward to having dinner with their godmother.

For the children, the people they were closest to was by their sides again. There was
nothing better in the world than that.

The joyous moods of the children were infectious, and Roxanne’s smile continued to
stay on her face.

Madilyn soon sent her the location of the restaurant. Roxanne and Lucian brought the
three children there, after which they were led to a private room.

Right as they sat down, the server brought the dishes to the table. A glance across the
spread revealed that those dishes were Roxanne’s and the children’s favorites.

“Thank you,” Roxanne blurted out. “I’m sorry to have worried you.” Madilyn’s smile
faded slightly, giving way to a gentler expression. “

You did scare me. I’m so glad that everything turned out fine. That’s all I want.” She
then glanced at Lucian before continuing to Roxanne, “No one had it as bad as Mr.
Farwell.

At the very least, I got a few hours of sleep, but he didn’t get any at all.” Roxanne
followed her gaze to meet Lucian’s eyes, and the couple lost themselves in each other.

Everyone at the table was delighted with Roxanne’s recovery, and the dinner was filled
with merriment.

Once in a while, Madilyn would criticize Jack’s self-inflicted situation and praise Lucian.
She even nearly told Roxanne to hold onto Lucian because he was a good man.

The three children were nodding along with Madilyn the whole time. Pleased by their
compliments, Lucian footed the bill before Madilyn could say anything.

It left Madilyn grumpy about failing to treat Roxanne, and when she saw Roxanne about
to leave with Lucian, she pulled her to the side.

“I haven’t got to treat Roxanne yet! Mr. Farwell, please bring the kids home first. We’re
going to go for round two!”

chapter 1764 -

chapter 1764 – On Our Guard It went without saying that Lucian was anxious about
Roxanne leaving his side when she had just recovered, coupled with the incident a
while ago.

“Go back first. It so happens that I want to spend some more time with Madilyn.”

Roxanne could tell that her best friend had something else to say to her, so she
seconded Madilyn. At her words, a frown marred Lucian’s countenance.

Worry was practically written all over his face. Seeing that, Madilyn suggested
understandingly, “If you’re worried, Mr. Farwell, you can have someone follow us.
Anyway, I certainly won’t take Roxanne out to do anything to betray you.”

No sooner had she proposed that than Lucian agreed without hesitation, “It’s decided,
then. I’ll have someone follow you both to provide protection.

Call me when you’re done, and I’ll come and pick the two of you up.” It was clear as day
that such had been his plan from the very beginning.

Naturally, Madilyn had no objections to it. In fact, she even threw her best friend a
teasing look. “Things are indeed different when one is attached.”

A hint of scarlet stained Roxanne’s face, and she smiled without responding to that,
merely saying to Archie, Benny, and Estella, “Your Aunt Madilyn and I will only go back
a while later. Be good and listen to your daddy.”

All three children obediently acquiesced. Lucian made a call and waited for some time.
It was not until he had ascertained that his subordinates were
all in place that he drove away.

“What’s wrong? Is something else the matter?” Madilyn dragged Roxanne to a quiet
bar, and the latter gave voice to that question in puzzlement after they had taken a seat.

Wearing a somewhat strange expression, Madilyn sounded hesitant as she started, “It
isn’t a big deal…”

She then took a sip of wine guiltily, her gaze darting all over the place. At that,
Roxanne’s curiosity was further piqued. “Why are you beting around the bush,
considering our relationship?”
Madilyn again wavered for a long while. Finally, she ventured, “Do you still remember
Ms. Lane?” Hearing that, Roxanne was stumped for a few seconds before she recalled
the person Madilyn was speaking of.

It was no wonder she could not remember Elektra immediately, for too many things had
happened in the past two days.

Furthermore, the woman had only appeared before her once briefly. Verily, she did not
have the presence of mind to pay Elektra much attention.

“Yeah. Lucian has explained that they’re good friends. What’s with her?” Sighing,
Madilyn urged earnestly, “I think while Mr. Farwell was quite a sc*mbag six years ago,
judging from the look of things now, he’s indeed a decent man who’s hard to come by.

Not only did Ms. Lane grow up with him, but the timing of her return this time is also
rather suspicious. You’d best be careful, lest she turns out to be the next Aubree.”

After saying that, she clarified, “I don’t mean anything else by that. I’ve seen how much
Mr. Farwell cares about you in the past few days, and I believe that he definitely won’t
have a change of heart. But then, no one knows Ms. Lane’s thoughts exactly. It’s
prudent to be careful!”

She was truly scared after everything that had transpired with Aubree. On the one hand,
she was happy that her best friend had found true love. But on the other, she was afraid
that the latter would be hurt because Lucian was too popular among the ladies.

Since Roxanne’s return to the country, Madilyn had almost lost her twice. As such, she
did not want to experience it a third time.

Upon hearing that, Roxanne frowned slightly. Elektra’s countenance gradually took
shape in her mind.

Casting her mind back to the woman for a while, she shook her head lightly. “I don’t
think she’s such a person.”

As far as she remembered, Elektra’s gaze was exceedingly sincere. That aside,
Lucian’s evaluation of her was also relatively good.

Therefore, she trusted her intuition. “I’m just cautioning you against her. Truthfully
speaking, she also told me while you were still unconscious
that she has no designs on Mr. Farwell.

Nevertheless, it does no harm for us to be on our guard against her,” Madilyn asserted.

 chapter 1765 -

chapter 1765 – What Is His Motive “Got it. I’ll be more careful around her,” Roxanne
concurred with a smile, knowing that her best friend was merely warning her for her own
good.

Only then was Madilyn satisfied. In no time, the two of them chatted about other things,
the atmosphere very much relaxed.

Meanwhile, Jonathan had just finished handling Jack’s matter and returned to the
Queen family from the police station.

The instant he stepped in the door, he was greeted by the sight of his sister sitting on
the couch, watching television distractedly and glancing in the direction of the door
every so often.

As soon as Frieda spotted him, her expression changed, and she greeted him
enthusiastically.

“I’ve seen the news and learned that Jack has been arrested, Jonathan. So, Roxanne
has probably regained consciousness as well, right?”

In response, Jonathan bobbed his head. “Yeah. She regained consciousness last night.
We’d been busy with Jack’s matter, so we hadn’t the time to tell you about it.”

It was thanks to his sister engaging Peregrine’s services that Roxanne could wake up
from her coma this time.

Thus, it was only right for him to notify her about the matter. He initially thought that
Frieda would be chagrined, but unexpectedly, he did not glimpse a hint of
disgruntlement on her face.

Just as he was wondering about it, his sister’s meaningful voice drifted into the air. “Old
Mr. Lomax must have played a pivotal role in the matter, huh?

Did Lucian not say anything about it?” In other words, she was claiming credit from him.

Jonathan’s brows creased imperceptibly, and he felt a touch irked. True enough, her
contribution was crucial in the matter this time.

Hence, it’s only natural for Lucian to thank her. Even so, she should let him take the
initiative to offer her a token of appreciation.

How could she ask for it herself? Moreover, her help toward Roxanne is, in a sense, an
atonement for the foolish things she did in the past.
How could she have the nerve to ask for a gift? When Frieda received no response, her
expression turned resentful.

“You know how difficult it was to convince Old Mr. Lomax to help. I spent tremendous
effort to save Roxanne.

No matter what I did in the past, I don’t owe her anything anymore!” At once, Jonathan’s
expression darkened. “What are you talking about?”

“Is that not true? Your relationship with her is close, and you’re willing to save her, but
not me! Even if she had saved Grandpa previously, the medicinal herbs we gave her
were more than enough to repay that debt of gratitude.

I’m not willing to do her such a huge favor for nothing!” Frieda retorted in displeasure.
“Shut up!” Jonathan’s face went as black as thunder.

Scrutinizing his sister, he proceeded to demand, “Tell me the truth. How did you get Old
Mr. Lomax to help?

Did you really find his contact on the Internet? Or was it the credit of the man behind
you?” He did not believe that Peregrine’s contact information could be obtained so
easily.

Back then, he did not harp on it because he did not have the time to do so. Since Frieda
was presently adamant about a thank-you gift, he felt that it was necessary for him to
get to the bottom of things.

He stared at his sister intently. “Was it also him who taught you to say all this? What’s
his motive?” Those questions of his hit Frieda like a series of cannonballs.

After all, she had never discussed how to answer such questions with Shawn. In a flash,
guilt swamped her. She opened her mouth, but no words of justification came out.

At that, Jonathan’s heart slowly sank to rock bottom. “You turned a deaf ear to
everything I said to you, huh?”

chapter 1766 -

chapter 1766 – Eyeing The Pie Seeing his sister’s reaction, Jonathan had a general
idea about the current situation.
What exactly is that man’s motive? His previous suspicion of having sent Aubree
abroad made it clear that he was an enemy of the Farwell family.

Yet, he specifically had Old Mr. Lomax help to treat Roxanne this time. His actions are
rather peculiar, and I can’t figure him out.

In the face of her brother’s authoritative aura, Frieda suppressed her emotions, her
expression indignant.

“Why do you think I did so? Can’t I achieve something for myself? For my whole life, the
entire Queen family has nurtured you as the heir.

What about me? No one has ever taken me seriously. Am I just a haughty daughter of a
prominent family in other people’s eyes?

Am I not worthy of having my own ambition?” She grew increasingly emotional as she
spoke. In the end, she declared, “Listen here, Jonathan.

Starting today, I’m also your competitor. Unlike you, I won’t be going along with the
Farwell family in everything!”

That tirade sparked the fury Jonathan had initially leashed. “The Farwell family hasn’t
been maltreating us. In fact, they’ve been pretty good to us.

Regarding them as an enemy would be true foolishness. Besides, Lucian would

undoubtedly give the Queen family credit for having gotten Old Mr. Lomax to help.
Whatever benefit you want, I’ll give it to you at that time.”

Having said that, he left the house right away. Behind him, Frieda’s expression
changed, her gaze unfathomable.

At the Farwell residence, Lucian worked on his laptop. He had a lot of work matters
piled up after taking time off the past few days.

Although Cayden could handle most of the matters, there were always some deals and
contracts he had to review and sign off personally.

When Roxanne saw Lucian focused on work, she did not interrupt him. Instead, she
brewed a cup of hot coffee and carried it over, her eyes dancing with delight.

Lifting his eyes, Lucian held her gaze. Unbidden, the corners of his mouth turned up a
fraction.

“The poison within you hasn’t been dispelled completely, so you need to rest more.
There’s no need to bother about me. You can sleep first,”
he murmured after picking up the coffee and taking a sip. “Okay. Don’t overwork
yourself! I’ll go and look in on the kids to see whether they’ve all gone to bed.”

The peaceful life had Roxanne feeling incredibly relaxed. Despite almost losing her life
in the bout of poisoning this time, she had also more or less gained some things.

Whirling around, she went upstairs. Archie, Benny, and Estella were worn out from
playing and had all fallen asleep. Thus, she planned on taking a nice, hot bath.

Shortly after, a car drove into the yard, and Jonathan rushed into the living room in a
frenzy. Could it be that something has happened again for Lucian to call me over at this
hour?

“What’s the matter, Lucian?” he asked, cutting straight to the chase. Lucian flipped the
lid of his laptop close. “Calm down. It’s nothing major.

Have a seat. I’ve got something to discuss with you.” Only then did Jonathan sit down
with peace of mind. Raising his eyes, he watched as Lucian brewed coffee
methodically.

Lucian was skilled at brewing coffee, and he slid a three-quarters full cup at Jonathan
when he was done. “Have some coffee first,” he offered.

As the aroma of coffee wafted into Jonathan’s nostrils, he found it very much
revitalizing.

“I have to say, Lucian, you’ve been at your most irritable in the past few days. Now,
you’ve finally reverted to your usual calmness,” he lamented in a heartfelt manner,
picking up the cup of coffee. Chuckling, Lucian nodded in agreement.

“That’s true! She’s the most important thing in my life, after all. The main reason I called
you over tonight is to ask about your arrangements regarding the Damaris family’s
assets.”

No matter how damaged something was, there was still value to it, not to mention a
prestigious family with a long history in traditional medicine like the Damaris family.

Jack irrefutably had some talent in doing business. Unfortunately, his heart was not in
the right place, and he had strayed from the path.

Following the fall of the Damaris family this time, countless people were eyeing the pie,
hoping for a share.

 chapter 1767 -

chapter 1767 – Consider Marriage “Indeed, the Damaris family left behind a number of
top-notch assets. Jack was involved in a myriad of business ventures.

Real estate, investment firms, and aesthetic medicine were his main investment
subjects, while the supply chain of medicinal herbs was the core of it all.

He had a total of thirteen to E fourteen medicinal herbs trade companies, encompassing

almost all types of medicinal herbs from the north to south. Additionally, he had several
certifications for the production of Western medical technology.”

As Jonathan summarized the Damaris family’s assets, he could not help giving voice to
the question plaguing him all this time.

“I really don’t understand why he was so eager for success. Considering the scale of his
business, coupled with the industries’ future prospects, the entire Damaris family’s
assets would certainly increase several folds in a few years.

He could’ve easily attained a scale of hundreds of billions.” Lucian lifted his eyes, the
look in them seemingly dark and grim.

“In truth, he was right. He knew very well that all those businesses were merely a game
of cash flow and not the veritable core asset.

It’s true that their medicinal herbs supply chain was exceedingly strong, but if they
couldn’t keep up in terms of research and development, that industrial chain would’ve
been broken by others sooner or later.

For that reason, he had a crystal clear purpose from the very beginning. He approached
and tried to win Roxanne over, using both ingenuity and trickery to gain control of the
research team and technology she helmed.”

After obtaining that revelation, Jonathan mulled it over for several seconds with a frown.
At long last, comprehension showed on his face.

“Lucian, did you ask me here tonight because you want me to go all out to take over the
Damaris family’s medicinal herbs supply chain?

” he queried proactively. In response, Lucian dipped his head. “You’ve done me a great
favor this time, so the Damaris family’s medicinal herbs supply chain should belong to
you.
After all, the Queen family is also in this industry, and the merging will undoubtedly be
faster. Naturally, Roxanne also won’t have to worry about a supply
shortage if you’re in charge of the supply chain. It’s a win-win situation!”

“Sure! I shall graciously accept, then. But I’ve got a request this time. My sister
deserves some credit for having convinced Old Mr. Lomax to help.

As such, let her be in charge of the Damaris family’s supply chain. Otherwise, the
collaboration partners who used to collaborate with us in the past would likely kick up a
fuss.”

At the end of the day, Frieda’s words had touched Jonathan to some extent. It’s a fact
that Frieda has quite a bit of talent in business, but I’ve always overshadowed her.

Our family and outsiders have never taken her capabilities seriously. This time, her
contribution can’t be negated.

It goes without saying that I’ll give her what she deserves. As for that man’s motive, I’ll
observe patiently. The instant things seem off, I probably have the capability to curb the
problem.

“That’s up to you to decide. Since I’m handing it to the Queen family, you’re free to
make the arrangements. I won’t interfere.

Besides, your sister does have some capabilities, but she has never been taken
seriously in the past,” Lucian replied bluntly without a hint of hesitation.

Subsequently, he poured Jonathan another cup of coffee and asked, “How’s Old Mr.
Queen doing?

If there are any problems, you can have Roxanne go over and take another look at
him.” Hearing that, Jonathan grinned. “

He’s great. Perfect, in fact. He goes on fishing trips daily, growing younger by the day.
There’s no need to trouble Roxanne!”

“I’m glad to hear that.” Lucian smiled as well, finding it convenient to have a skilled
doctor as a wife.

All of a sudden, he quirked a brow, a teasing look in his eyes. “Speaking of which, I’m
considered attached now. What about you?

When are you going to consider marriage?” Jonathan never expected the man to bring
up that subject out of the blue. Whoa!
He has already won his woman over, so he’s now starting to mock those who are still
single and available, huh?

Embarrassment showed on his face, and he chuckled dryly. “There’s no one I fancy yet.
If I’ve got someone in mind, I’ll naturally hang on to her tightly.

You don’t need to worry about this, Lucian.”

chapter 1768 -

chapter 1768 – Not Allowed To Go Today After drinking a few cups of coffee, Jonathan
beat a hasty retreat with the excuse that drinking too much coffee would lead to
insomnia.

Lucian watched as the man left. Gradually, his smiling expression faded, only to be
replaced with a pensive look.

What exactly is the identity of the man Frieda knows? I’ve looked into it for a bit, and
considering Old Mr. Lomax’s status, she couldn’t have suddenly made his
acquaintance, much less successfully persuade the great King of Medicine to come to
Horington and treat a veritable stranger.

Regretfully, it’s inappropriate for me to ask Old Mr. Lomax about this directly. Having
made up his mind, he snagged his phone and called Cayden.

“Arrange for someone to investigate everyone Frieda has been in contact with recently,
especially anyone with a northern accent.

If you have any leads, check them out thoroughly!” “Got it. I’ll go about it right away,”
Cayden answered. Without anyone realizing it, a week flew past.

Lucian took Roxanne to the hospital for several checkups consecutively to ascertain
that the toxins within her had been completely dispelled.

Roxanne then started to devote herself to research and development once more.
Waking up early one morning, she noticed that Lucian was still slumbering soundly
beside her.

As she gazed at him, he appeared all the more handsome. Ultimately, she could not
help reaching out and cautiously stroking his face.
It was as though his lips possessed some magical powers as she found her gaze
riveted on them. She carefully leaned over and sampled them briefly.

He did not wake up but turned over and continued sleeping. Roxanne silently got out of
bed and went to the bathroom outside to wash up, loathed to wake him.

Thereafter, she quickly went downstairs and had breakfast before returning to the room.

Opening his bleary eyes, Lucian asked, “Why did you wake up so early? Sleep in for a
bit.” “No, it’s okay. I’ve had enough sleep.

I’ve got to go to the research institute soon. A number of projects will be launched at the
same time today, and Old Mr. Lomax is also waiting.

So, you’ll have to send the kids to school!” All smiles, Roxanne did not wait for his
response but promptly leaned down and gave him a light peck on
the cheek.

After doing so, she was going to leave in a hurry, only for Lucian to wrap an arm around
her waist. “Can’t you take some time off to rest properly?

Don’t think I’m entirely clueless about you having been conducting experiments
tirelessly at the research institute these past few days.

You’re not allowed to go anymore today!” Standing up, he hugged her tightly. Then, his
voice turned reproving.

“You haven’t spent much time with the kids since you fell gravely ill. You owe Essie for
not being by her side the past few years.

Of course, I owe Archie and Benny the same. Therefore, don’t go anywhere today. Let’s
spend time together as a family.”

Right then, he was indescribably gentle. Roxanne wanted to argue further, but the man
captured her mouth in the next heartbeat.

Suddenly perking up, Lucian began kissing her passionately. Shock pervaded Roxanne.
Good Lord! He put me through the wringer last night, and it’s only been a few hours
since then!

Her token struggles were entirely futile. Like a tidal wave, the man overwhelmed her
rationale in the blink of an eye.

When the calm returned after the stormy passion, she felt as though her body was
going to fall apart.
She rested her head on Lucian’s arm, docile beyond words. Meanwhile, gratification
was etched across Lucian’s features, and his lips were stretched wide in a grin.

“Now that the Queen family has taken over the medicinal herbs supply chain, coupled
with Old Mr. Lomax’s help, there are many experiments that you no longer need to
conduct personally.

Let Old Mr. Lomax lead the researchers instead. Otherwise, the research institute will
only have you as a resource and not a fullfledged research team.

Do you get it?” At his gentle reminder, Roxanne bobbed her head obediently in assent
to that statement. True enough, I should learn to delegate.

While I’m a core member of the research institute, it doesn’t mean that everything has to
be done by me alone.

After she had grasped that, she gave Linda a call. “I won’t be coming in today, Linda.
Note down the upcoming projects.

Then, have Old Mr. Lomax lead a few of the core technical personnel in starting the
experiments…”

By the time she had made all the arrangements, Lucian had already gotten out of bed
and washed up. The triplets had also awakened.

chapter 1769 -

chapter 1769 – Is There Something On My Face Archie and Benny had always been
independent.

Being with them every day, Estella had also learned to take care of herself. When the
three of them had washed up, Lucian went over to check on them.

He then complimented them all. Subsequently, it was time to change. Estella helped her
brothers pick out their outfits, deciding on an incredibly cool and casual look.

After Archie and Benny had changed, she swiftly claimed credit from Lucian. “Look,
Daddy. Are my choices good?

I want to be a fashion designer in the future. Is that okay?” “Of course! I think you might
make a great fashion designer in the future, Essie.
” Indulgence was written clearly in Lucian’s eyes. Archie likewise praised his sister,
saying, “Daddy, I truly think Essie is talented in fashion design.

She can even design and trim clothes by herself now.” “Exactly, Daddy! Essie promised
to gift us a set of clothes handmade by her for our birthday next year.

We’re both looking forward to it.” Benny divulged Estella’s secret with a giggle. Estella
was inexorably shy, but her two brothers went over to her and patted her on her head
lovingly.

“That’s great! You’ve finally found your own passion, Essie. Like your two brothers, all of
you are the pride of me and your mommy!”

Lucian felt the same as he was claiming verbally. They’re all smart and have different
talents. Truly, they’re godsend treasures!

Thinking that Roxanne had already gone to work, the triplets obediently made their way
downstairs for breakfast.

Lucian did the same, chatting casually with them at the breakfast table. “It’s going to be
the weekend soon. Discuss among yourselves where you’d like to go.

Your mommy will be free during the weekend, so we’ll all go together!” he declared.
Hearing that their mother would also be joining them, the triplets instantly cheered. They
started discussing among themselves.

“Let’s go to the zoo… Oh, forget it. The snakes frightened Essie back then.” “How about
the amusement park? But there are many rides we can’t play, so never mind.”

“I think we can go to the oceanarium. It’s been a long time since we’ve been there.
Essie didn’t get to see the white dolphins back then.

We must make it up to her this time.” In no time, they reached a consensus and chose
to visit the oceanarium.

“Let’s go to the oceanarium, Daddy. I want to see the giant sea turtles, white dolphins,
whale sharks, and penguins! They’re all so cute!”

Estella said to Lucian. Lucian nodded in agreement. All of a sudden, Archie and Benny
studied Lucian’s face intently.

Frowning, Lucian questioned, “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” “You’ve

got prominent dark circles under your eyes, Daddy.

You should rest more and not overwork yourself!” Archie wore a concerned expression
on his face. “Do you not sleep well at night, Daddy?
You should be like us and go to bed earlier!” Benny seconded. A strange feeling
suffused Lucian. Hmm, it feels pretty intriguing to be on the receiving end of their
concern.

Nonetheless, he did not dare tell them it was because he was greedy for pleasure and
spent the nights satiating his desire.

Even Estella nagged, “You must sleep properly if you don’t want dark eye circles,
Daddy.” In the end, Archie came up with a temporary solution.

“Daddy, soak a towel in hot water and use it as a compress after wringing it dry. It can
alleviate dark circles and eliminate eyebags.”

“I’ve also got an idea, Daddy! You can boil an egg and roll it beneath your eyes with
your eyes closed when it has cooled slightly.

That can get rid of dark circles. Such a method is equally effective in reducing swelling
and bruising!” Benny suggested, not to be outdone.

Surprise flooded Lucian. They must have learned all that from Roxanne. Who knows,
maybe one of them will inherit her medical skills in the future.

chapter 1770 -

chapter 1770 – Seek Her Opinion In Everything “Archie, Benny, how do you both know
so much?

Did you learn all that from Mommy? I want to learn, too! I want to master all that!”
Turning to Lucian, Estella pleaded, “Daddy, have Mommy teach me, won’t you?”

“Okay, okay. I’ll ask your mommy to teach you when she’s free. But don’t you like
fashion design?

Mastering fashion design is also something commendable!” Lucian remarked smilingly,

trying to steer her in the right direction.

At the end of the day, talent and passion were entirely different from a passing interest.
“All right, I’ll study both, then. I want to learn medical skills and fashion design. I’ll work
harder!” Estella looked determined, taking the matter seriously.

Immediately, Archie and Benny expressed their support for her. Seeing that, Lucian felt
that they doted on her too much.
Upstairs, Roxanne overheard the entirety of their conversation. A smile tugged at her
lips uncontrollably.

In all her years, she had never felt as relaxed, peaceful, and joyful as she was at that
moment. Her heart, which had been suspended in mid-air, seemed to settle back into
her chest firmly.

At the same time, a strong sense of security permeated her. In that instant, she felt all
the more blissful.

Since Lucian was sending the triplets to the kindergarten, she had nothing to do and
went back to sleep.

By the time she woke up, Cayden had come over at some point and brought Lucian a
thick stack of documents requiring his signature as CEO personally.

Ever since her narrow brush with death, a number of unprecedented things had
transpired. They included Lucian skipping work for several days in a row and important
contracts being brought to the mansion to be signed.

Tactful as ever, Cayden did as he was instructed. After all, he had never seen his
employer this relaxed and smiling so much.

As soon as Lucian had signed all the contracts and agreements, Cayden excused
himself, leaving the time and space to the man.

Before his assistant left, Lucian inquired, “What’s the progress of the matter I asked you
to investigate last night?”

“There are some leads. A man whom Frieda has been in contact with is from the north.
Recently, Frieda established a new company and is recklessly tossing out money to buy
the rapidly depreciating assets of the Damaris family.

It’s likely that man’s doing. I’ll report back to you after I’ve ascertained his exact
identity,” Cayden answered in a lowered voice.

The instant Lucian dipped his head, the man left. When Roxanne came to the living
room, she was greeted by the sight of shopping bags on the coffee table. They either
contained supplements or nutritional foods.

“It looks like Cayden has also learned all these formalities. But then, he didn’t need to
buy so much.” Roxanne regarded Lucian with a chuckle.

Unexpectedly, Lucian shook his head, denying that they were from Cayden. “Who are
these from, then?” Roxanne asked.
“Elektra came over and brought these earlier. She wanted to visit you, but you were still
sleeping, so I didn’t want to wake you. I merely told her you weren’t home. She didn’t
stay for long, leaving after dropping all this here,” Lucian replied calmly.

To him, such superficial niceties did not matter at all. “Oh, I see. Did you thank her on
my behalf?”

Although the supplements and nutritious foods were mostly superfluous advertising in
the eyes of a doctor like Roxanne, she still acknowledged Elektra’s kind intentions.

“Yeah. She also asked us out for a meal. I didn’t accept right away, so you can have the
say. I don’t mind either way.” Lucian greatly treasured the opportunity he finally had
after successfully winning her back this time.

Thus, he was determined to seek her opinion in everything, lest some trouble cropped
up again. “Well, I’m fine either way.

She has just returned from abroad and done me such a huge favor, so I should be the
one treating her to a meal.

You can help me extend an invitation to her in my name,” Roxanne replied.

chapter 1771 -

chapter 1771 – Not As Simple As She Looks As per Roxanne’s request, Lucian asked
Elektra out for lunch at a high-end restaurant.

When they both arrived, Elektra happened to reach at the same time. Roxanne did not
doll up much, merely having applied some skincare products.

Contrarily, Elektra wore exquisite makeup, giving off an elegant and classy feeling.

However, Elektra could tell at a glance that Roxanne was a natural beauty who was
stunningly gorgeous even without makeup.

Back when she saw the latter at the hospital, Roxanne appeared haggard. As such, she
did not expect such a vast difference after the woman had recovered.

Unbidden, a sliver of envy crept into her since there were some flaws on her face that
could only be concealed with makeup.
“Hello, Ms. Lane. We meet again!” Roxanne greeted without waiting for Lucian to speak
first, confident and amicable.

“Hello. You’re really beautiful, Ms. Jarvis! No wonder Lucian couldn’t forget you all these
years.” Elektra could not help expressing a touch of jealousy.

Lucian was stunned for a moment before he hastily quipped, “Indeed, Roxanne is
pretty. But I’m not such a superficial person that I’m only concerned about her looks.”

That remark of his had Roxanne glancing at him with a smirk on her face. Similarly,
Elektra hurriedly smoothed things over, seconding, “But of course!

Not only is Ms. Jarvis beautiful, but her capabilities are also astounding. She isn’t
merely a renowned doctor. On top of that, she’s a leading character in high-end medical
technology.

There are few women like her in this world.” At the woman’s excessive flattery, Roxanne
promptly shook her head. “Not at all, Ms. Lane.

My achievements aren’t that impressive. Conversely, you’ve sacrificed a lot because of

my illness. Your family will likely misunderstand you since you faked a marriage with
Lucian under tremendous pressure.

Thank you so much!” She was sincere in thanking Elektra, but its meaning became
distorted when it reached the latter’s ears.

As Elektra had a suspicious nature, she instinctively stole a glance at Roxanne, feeling
like Roxanne was testing her.

Hence, she quickly countered, “No, don’t mention it. I’ve already explained things to my
family. The marriage certificate was fake and was destroyed long ago. Don’t take it to
heart, Ms. Jarvis.”

“Let’s go into the restaurant first. This isn’t a suitable place to talk,” Lucian proposed.
Following that, the three of them went into the restaurant.

After entering the private room, Roxanne immediately slid the menu over to Elektra.
“Lunch today will be my treat as my way of thanking you, Ms. Lane.

Don’t stand on ceremony with me and just order whatever you like. Lucian and I aren’t
picky.”

There was nothing special about those words, yet they grated on Elektra’s ears. It was
as though Roxanne was staking her claim on Lucian.
Taking the menu with a smile, she did not decline but ordered a few dishes. After doing
so, she saw Lucian and Roxanne sitting exceedingly close in an incredibly intimate
manner. For some inexplicable reason, a sense of unease filled her.

Aubree must have lost back then because she underestimated Roxanne. Roxanne is
definitely not as simple as she looks.

“By the way, I wonder if the things I sent over previously suited you, Ms. Jarvis. I didn’t
know what to buy, so I picked those supplements and brought them over,” Elektra
commented.

Smiling, Roxanne thanked her. “Thank you, Ms. Lane. Supplements are perfect for
someone who’s recovering from a major illness like me.”

“That’s great! I really admire you, Ms. Jarvis. Back then, you were poisoned severely
with a rare substance, yet you could develop the antidote by yourself, and in less than a
day, at that. It’s downright mind-boggling.”

Elektra kept praising Roxanne to the skies. Meanwhile, Roxanne deflected it all, for she
did not want her mind addled by the compliments.

As Madilyn said, I’ve got to be on my guard against her. With her fawning all over
someone repeatedly, the average person would likely lower their guard.

Verily, she did not want any other problems to crop up between her and Lucian when
her three children had finally made up for their regrets.

chapter 1772 -

chapter 1772 – Uncomfortable Lucian was so focused on Roxanne that he didn’t

notice anything unusual.

“You must be thirsty after such a long conversation,” he said to Roxanne, offering her a
glass of water, which she accepted with a smile.

Elektra couldn’t help but feel a little left out as Lucian focused all his attention on
Roxanne and didn’t even ask if she wanted anything to drink.

She called for the server and said, “Excuse me, I’m not really liking the coffee. Can I
please have a glass of lemon water instead?”
The dishes were brought out, including Elektra’s lemon water. She couldn’t help but
notice that Lucian was so busy serving Roxanne that he completely ignored her even
though she was a guest.

It was an awkward moment for her, and she regretted not declining the meal invite. Why
didn’t I soy no? By letting Roxanne treat me to lunch, it put me ot o disadvantage.

Trying to break the silence, Elektra said, “Lucian, Ms. Jarvis, why didn’t you bring the
kids along tonight?”

In truth, she knew the kids were at school that day but wanted to start a conversation.
“They’re at school. We’re planning to take them out tomorrow since it’s the weekend,”
Roxanne replied as she spooned some of Lucian’s favorite dishes onto his plate.

Unable to stand the lovey-dovey actions of the couple before her, Elektra continued the
conversation. “I would love to meet your three kids.

I heard they’re quite the good-looking bunch. Is that true?” The topic piqued Lucian’s
interest. “Yes, they are. After all, Roxanne and I are their parents.

You can’t go wrong with genetics.” Elektra’s heart sank as she listened, but she knew
she had to put on a brave face.

“Wow, I really must see for myself. I wonder what kind of gifts I should bring for them.”
“There’s no need for that, Ms. Lane,” Roxanne replied.

“They have everything they need at the moment. You must be very busy since you just
returned home. Don’t waste your time and effort preparing gifts.

I’ll bring them out another time and introduce you to them.” From the way Elektra looked
at Lucian throughout lunch, Roxanne could tell something was indeed off.

It was as though Elektra was trying hard to hide how much she admired Lucian. Time
seemed to drag on for Elektra during the meal, and she announced that she was full
after only a few hurried bites.

“Thank you for the meal, Ms. Jarvis. I’m a bit tied up since I just returned to the country.
I need to meet a few old friends later, so what do you say we call it a day?”

Elektra wanted to leave as soon as possible. Roxanne nodded her head and agreed,
and Elektra prepared to leave the private room.

She thought Lucian would at least see her off, as he was big on etiquette, but much to
her dismay, he didn’t even spare her a glance as he spooned food onto Roxanne’s
plate.
“I recall that this is your favorite. Try it. It’s more authentic here,” he said to Roxanne,
ignoring Elektra’s departure.

Elektra left, feeling utterly uncomfortable at the scene unfolding before her. Meanwhile,
Roxanne narrowed her eyes as she watched Elektra’s retreating figure.

Her experience with Aubree and the near-death incident with Jack had changed
Roxanne’s state of mind.

Back then, she was engulfed in fear and tried to avoid Lucian whenever he made the
first move, as she didn’t know what he and the Farwell’s were planning to do with Archie
and Benny.

Because of that, she restrained her desires and tried to convince herself to let go of
Lucian. However, only she knew how deep she had fallen for him.

She wasn’t about to let anyone ruin her happiness now that everything was back on
track and her kids now had both parents by their side.

chapter 1773 -

chapter 1773 – Down The Drain Roxanne thoroughly enjoyed herself as Elektra had
ordered the restaurant’s signature dishes.

It’s o shame she’s not here to enjoy these delicacies with us. After lunch, Lucian took
Roxanne to the mall and bought her clothes and shoes.

Excitedly, he picked out several dresses for her to try on, his eyes sparkling with each
new outfit. “This looks great on you!

It feels like this dress was made specifically for you.” “This one too! It accentuates your
curves so well.”

“Yes, this is the one. You look like you’re fresh out of college in this dress. So young
and pretty. I don’t mean to say that you look old;

it just makes you look even younger!” Roxanne lost track of how many outfits they
bought, but in the end, Lucian arranged for the store to deliver
everything to their mansion since it was too much to carry.

The store owner readily agreed, knowing that it wasn’t every day that a customer spent
hundreds of thousands in one go.
After Lucian left, the salesgirls informed the store owner that he was the CEO of Farwell
Group. The owner was upset that they hadn’t told him earlier, as he would have offered
a fifty percent discount for Lucian.

Lucian received a call from Sonya while he was still shopping, instructing him to visit the
Farwell main residence when he had the time as she needed to discuss some things
with him.

“You can send me back first, then,” Roxanne suggested as she overheard their
conversation.

“Okay. I’ll send you back first before going to the Farwell main residence. I’ll also pick
the kids up after school on the way back if there’s nothing else for me to do. You rest at
home.

Don’t even think about sneaking off to work,” Lucian nagged her all the way back to the
mansion while Roxanne merely smiled and nodded as she
listened.

She noticed that his temperament had changed quite a bit after everything they’d been
through, as he used to be a man of few words.

After dropping Roxanne off, Lucian headed to the Farwell main residence. As soon as
Lucian stepped foot into the residence, he noticed that the atmosphere was tense.

Sonya looked visibly angry and immediately confronted him upon his arrival. “Lucian,
don’t you think you owe me an explanation?

What is going on between you and Elektra? Since when were you two married?” Lucian
remained expressionless as he had expected Sonya to ask about it sooner or later.

“Mom, it was a desperate measure we came up with to deal with Jack. It’s fake. Elektra
must have told you about it, right?”

“Yes, she did. How could you be so reckless as to treat marriage as a joke? This is a
serious matter!” Sonya was fuming.

She was thrilled when she thought Lucian had finally cut ties with Roxanne and found a
daughter-in-law who met her standards.

Despite the Lanes not having the same level of power and influence as the Pearsons
used to, they were still considered a prestigious family.

She felt utterly betrayed when she discovered it was all a ruse. What was Elektra
thinking? Why would she pretend to be married to my son to save a stranger? Is she
foolish?
“Mom, this is not a joke. We did it all to save Roxanne! I’m very grateful to Elektra for
helping me, and I plan to show my gratitude by doing business with the Lanes.”

Lucian’s tone turned cold when he heard how lightly Sonya regarded Roxanne’s life.

chapter 1774 -

chapter 1774 – Yours Sonya’s expression stiffened and turned colder. “That’s not what
I meant.

I didn’t say Roxanne’s life is unimportant. I’m just curious if you’ve considered the
consequences of doing this. Even Elektra’s parents will believe it to be the truth.

What will happen to Elektra’s reputation after you announce it to the public? Shouldn’t
that be taken into account?”

Lucian didn’t want to get into a conflict with his mother. He pondered briefly before
softening his tone and replying, “I did consider that at the time.

You can ask Elektra about this. I did this only after I obtained her consent.” Sonya
arched her brows. “Of course, she would agree.

Elektra has always treated you well since you were little. She accommodated you by
letting you have all the toys you wanted. She’s just kind- hearted.”

Lucian was rendered speechless. He had a feeling Sonya was prepared to make a fuss
about this matter.

“Am I wrong?” Sonya became more aggressive. “Even if Elektra agreed to this, you
shouldn’t take this matter lightly just like that.

Did you at least go to the Lane residence to provide her parents with an explanation?”
“You’re right, Mom. I was indeed negligent in handling this matter.

I will make a trip to the Lane residence,” Lucian said gently, acknowledging his
oversight.

Sonya heard her son’s conciliatory tone, but she was still fuming, so she continued
throwing a tantrum.

“I even spent so much time discussing the wedding ceremony and banquet
arrangements with Elektra’s father, Richard Lane. This is just great.
I’m truly embarrassed now!” Lucian felt a pang in his heart. It seems like Mom is
genuinely anxious to remove Roxanne from the picture and wants me to get married to
another woman promptly.

Still, he had to yield to his elder, so he answered, “Mom, I’ve indeed acted rashly. I’m
sorry, all right? Why don’t you pick a time to invite Mr. Lane out?

I’ll express my gratitude and apologize to them in person.” Sonya did not expect Lucian
to be so soft-spoken and obliging suddenly.

In the past, they would always confront each other head-on, but he was now resorting to
a milder approach.

She was stumped and didn’t know how to vent her dissatisfaction afterward. I can’t
believe how tenaciously Roxanne clings to life!

“We’ll do as you suggest, then. But Lucian, are you really not planning to be with
Elektra? She’s gentle, kind, and can provide you with significant assistance since she
studied abroad.”

Lucian instantly grimaced after listening to Sonya trying to play matchmaker for him
again, scaring Sonya out of her wits with the scowl on his face.

“Mom, don’t say that anymore in the future.” That was the limit of his tolerance. n
awkward expression spread across Sonya’s countenance.

After a pause, she uttered, “Roxanne should’ve recovered by now, right? I’m not saying
that she’s not a suitable partner for you.

She’s undoubtedly capable, and her medical skills are extraordinary. However, she did
give birth to those two kids with another man.

That will greatly tarnish the Farwell family’s good name.” Lucian’s pupils constricted as
he stared at his mother. “Oh. I almost forgot to tell you this.

The two kids, Archie and Benny, are actually mine and Roxanne’s. They were born
together with Essie. The three of them are triplets.”

Sonya fell silent as she froze in shock. She took in Lucian’s serious mien and
ascertained he wasn’t kidding with her or telling a lie.

Instead, his gaze was unwavering and shone with earnestness. “What did you say?
How could those two children be yours?

No, that’s impossible—” There was no way Sonya would believe that.

chapter 1775 -

chapter 1775 – Underestimate “Mom, that’s the truth. Whether you believe it or not,
Archie and Benny are my children.

They were born six years ago together with Essie. In a strange twist of events, Roxanne
thought Essie had died prematurely.

I suppose the person who was assigned to bring Essie back was Grandpa’s
subordinate. He certainly didn’t expect Roxanne to have given birth to three children
and taken the two boys away with her.”

The truth could sometimes be so absurd. Nevertheless, Colby’s revelation, Roxanne’s

admission, and the instinctual affection between him, Archie,
and Benny led Lucian to believe that was the truth.

However, Sonya would never believe that. She suddenly raised her voice and said
sternly, “Lucian, you can’t blindly put your faith in everything
Roxanne tells you.

What’s the matter? Is this a new version of the story she made up? It isn’t enough that
she made those two boys your godchildren just a while ago.

Now she’s tricking you into believing they are your biological sons? That woman is truly
capable of spinning tales!”

Even the way Sonya looked at Lucian had changed as she spoke. She wondered if
Roxanne had bewitched Lucian with some medication.

Roxanne has such impressive medical skills, so it shouldn’t be challenging for her to
concoct a drug that could manipulate people’s minds, causing them to lose their sanity.

“No. That’s not it. Mom, I know you find it difficult to believe what I said, but that’s really
the truth.”

Lucian didn’t expect he could clarify everything to his mother in one go. Lucian, you
need to think this through. Roxanne is such a terrifyingly scheming woman.

Why can’t she be satisfied with just making those boys your godchildren? Is she
planning to deceive you into thinking they are your biological kids so they can claim the
Farwell family’s right of inheritance?”
Sonya wasn’t fond of Roxanne in the first place. Hence, Lucian’s words only further
raised her suspicion, and she assumed the whole thing was Roxanne’s plot all along.

“She must be seeking revenge on our family for abandoning her six years ago. I can’t
believe a vengeful woman can be so frightening!”

Muttering to herself absent-mindedly, Sonya was filled with the desperate urge to instill
her train of thought into Lucian.

Meanwhile, Lucian’s expression turned darker. Poker-faced, he narrowed his eyes and
gritted his teeth. After a few seconds, he unclenched his jaw.

“Mom, just shut up. Do you take your son as a fool? Also, don’t judge Roxanne in front
of me from now on. I have a good grasp of her character,” he uttered firmly.

After saying that, Lucian lost his patience and no longer wanted to interact with Sonya
further. However, she refused to let that matter rest.

Noticing her son was about to leave, she hurriedly grabbed him. Sorrow and anguish
filled her voice as she spoke.

“Lucian, you mustn’t listen to everything Roxanne says!” Disregarding her, he glanced
at Sonya impassively, shook off her hand, and strode past her.

The next instant, Sonya lost her temper. “You’re indeed formidable, Roxanne Jarvis! I
underestimated you! She’s such a manipulative woman.

No, I cannot allow this. How can someone like her become a part of the Farwell family?”
Rage burned within her chest, causing her to feel discomfort all over as she mumbled,
“What should I do?

How can I drive Roxanne away as soon as possible? There’s no way those two
bastards are descendants of the Farwell family.

No matter how you look at them, they don’t have the befitting temperament. Why would
Lucian believe they are his kids?”

Sonya was so furious that she thought she would have a heart attack. She quickly
walked toward the table, picked up a glass of water, and took a sip.

Her worried demeanor startled Elektra, who had dropped by unannounced. Carrying
numerous bags of all sizes, Elektra entered the house and greeted, “Mrs. Farwell.”

 chapter 1776 -

chapter 1776 – Missed Opportunity Elektra placed her bags on the ground and hurried
toward Sonya.

Grabbing Sonya’s hands, she asked in concern, “Mrs. Farwell, why do you look so
pale? Are you feeling unwell?”

Sonya was so angry her palms were sweaty, though she felt better when Elektra held
her hands.

Since Elektra is from a prestigious family, she is definitely more sensible than Roxanne.
Sonya immediately put on a smile and calmed herself.

“I’m fine. Why did you bring so many gifts here?” “Are you sure you’re okay? Come and
sit down first. Drink some water. Do you feel unwell?

Do you need me to send you to the hospital?” Elektra showered Sonya with concern as
she supported the latter to sit down.

Sonya shook her head. “I’m really fine. By the way, you don’t have to bring gifts when
you come to see me!”

“It’s like this. I went to visit Ms. Jarvis in the morning. Since she’s just recovered
recently, I bought some supplements for her.

Of course, I thought about giving you an even more expensive and effective supplement
set!”

Although Elektra seemed like a calm and gentle woman, she was actually a calculating
person.

If she mentioned that she bought supplements for Roxanne and only bought some for
Sonya while she was at it, Sonya would not be pleased.

However, the way she phrased it would easily ease any ruffled feathers. Sonya
immediately understood her intentions and gave a small smile.

However, her expression quickly soured. “What kind of supplements did you bring her?
You guys don’t even know each other.

Why did you have to buy them for her? If you didn’t have a fake marriage with Lucian,
she wouldn’t have gotten the antidote and might not even be alive now.”
Elektra noticed the change in her expression and kept her emotions in check. “It’s fine.
It was only a fake marriage certificate. It wasn’t a big sacrifice.

It’s not like I did anything special, so I can’t take credit for it.” It was evident to Elektra
that Sonya and Roxanne didn’t get along.

That’s probably why Aubree went overboard. It might be because Sonya was supporting
her actions. However, I won’t be as foolish as Aubree.

“Of course, it’s a big deal! Your reputation is at stake here! Your father almost
announced the marriage publicly.

If that had happened, it would have hurt you badly. Why should you be sacrificing
yourself to save her?”

As Sonya fumed, Elektra listened to her quietly without interrupting much. She even
took the initiative to brew a cup of coffee for Sonya.

Sonya felt better after this and asked Elektra seriously, “Tell me honestly. How do you
feel about Lucian?” Elektra was stunned by the question.

However, she quickly put on a surprised expression. “W-Well, Mrs. Farwell. Lucian and
Ms. Jarvis have such a great relationship.

Moreover, they already have three children together. How could you bring this up?”

“Three children? Besides Essie, how could those two be considered part of the Farwell
family?” Sonya replied coldly.

Her reaction was what Elektra had expected. She suddenly pretended to appear
sorrowful. “I do have feelings for Lucian. After all, we grew up together.

However, I knew I had lost my opportunity when I went to Epea to further my studies.
Besides, Ms. Pearson was Lucian’s fiancée at that time.”

Sonya shook her head and grabbed Elektra’s hands. She tried to persuade Elektra,
“What do you mean by missing your opportunity?

Lucian hasn’t remarried Roxanne yet, so they aren’t officially together. You still have a
chance!” “B-But they have three children already!

I probably only have these feelings because Lucian is my childhood friend. I don’t want
to ruin his happiness, so I hope you won’t bring this up to me again.” Elektra understood
Sonya’s intentions, but she had to put on a show of outright rejecting the latter.

chapter 1777 -

chapter 1777 – Created Interference “I’ll say it again. Those two boys aren’t part of the
Farwell family.

Roxanne is really good at lying. At first, she convinced Lucian to acknowledge them as
his godsons, but now they are suddenly Lucian’s biological
sons. She’s really shameless.

How could she even pretend to be someone she’s not?” Sonya lost her temper again
upon thinking about this. Elektra appeared shocked.

“That can’t be true. Ms. Jarvis doesn’t seem to be that kind of person. Is there some
misunderstanding here?” “There’s no misunderstanding here.

How could you think Roxanne is an innocent woman? You have misjudged her.
Roxanne is an extremely cunning and ruthless person,” Sonya emphasized as she
frowned.

She was worried that Elektra was too naive and had been deceived by Roxanne’s
facade. Initially, Elektra saw Lucian and Roxanne being so affectionate with each other
and thought there was no hope for her to get together with Lucian anymore.

However, upon seeing Sonya’s rejection and hatred for Roxanne, she felt a glimmer of
hope.

Back then, she had already expressed her feelings for Lucian. However, he had been
too busy taking over the family business that he had no time for
romance.

Then, she regained hope again after Lucian and Roxanne got a divorce. However,
Aubree was much more proactive in pursuing Lucian then, so she had no choice but to
give up again.

After meeting men and dating for a while, she realized that no one could compare to
Lucian.

She suddenly felt restless after suppressing her feelings for so long. Sonya noticed
Elektra was in a daze and assumed that the latter didn’t believe her words, so she
quickly added, “I know your feelings toward Lucian.
When Lucian told me he was going to marry you, I could tell that you were delighted.”
Elektra smiled bitterly in response because Sonya had hit the bullseye on her thoughts.

That’s right! I was really surprised then as I thought my time had finally come! However,
I didn’t expect that we would only be getting a fake marriage certificate. It was
ridiculous.

Elektra tried to suppress her emotions, not wanting to reveal them to Sonya. This
instinctual response was something she had developed over the years.

“Ah! If only you were my daughter-in-law! How great would that be? Anyway, if you are
interested, I will fully support you!”

Sonya was also a cunning woman. Her frankness had led Elektra to expose her true
feelings this day. As long as someone ran interference and disturbed Roxanne, she was
happy.

“Mrs. Farwell, thank you. However, when it comes to matters of the heart, it cannot be
forced. I’m doing well and hope to utilize what I learned overseas. Ms. Jarvis is also an
outstanding woman. How could I compete with her?”

Elektra replied as she finally managed to push down her raging emotions. At that
moment, Elias had been standing outside the main hall for quite some time.

onya’s voice was loud, so he had been able to hear most of the conversation. He
coughed twice before walking into the main hall briskly.

“Elektra, you’re here.” “Mr. Farwell, nice to see you! I came over to pass Mrs. Farwell
some supplements. I also bought some gifts for you when I was overseas, but the
delivery is really slow, so it’s not here yet!” Everything Elektra said and did was
diplomatic.

Elias nodded before praising her, “That’s so thoughtful of you. Why don’t you sit for a
while longer? We can have dinner together.”

“It’s okay, Mr. Farwell. I still have some things to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now!
You guys should come and visit us when you have the time.

My parents have been saying it has been a long time since you guys have talked to one
another!”

Since she had gathered all the information she needed, there was no need for her to
linger any longer. She quickly left after exchanging some pleasantries.

 chapter 1778 -

chapter 1778 – Do Not Be Controlling As soon as she left, Elias’ expression turned
dark.

“What’s wrong with you? Can you stop mentioning our family matters to outsiders?” His
tone was stern, causing Sonya’s expression to change drastically.

“What? I didn’t say anything wrong. Besides, Elektra is much closer to me than
Roxanne, so she isn’t an outsider.

Moreover, if she’s an outsider, why would she help Lucian to save Roxanne?” Taking in
Sonya’s enraged expression, Elias furrowed his brows.

“Why can’t you respect Lucian’s choice? He’s no longer a child, so can you stop being
so controlling and obsessive? Let him handle his relationships, marriage, and family
matters himself. Can’t you just enjoy your own life?”

Elias’ mentality in life was to go with the flow. After spending decades in the business
world, he learned that no one would listen to others’ advice, not
even those closest to them.

Therefore, even though he knew Lucian would make some mistakes when the latter
was first taking over Farwell Group, he allowed his son to make his own mistakes.

No one could substitute the experience of learning from one’s own mistakes. However,
Sonya couldn’t comprehend this.

She stood up and almost placed her arms on her waist. “Why? I’m doing this for Lucian!
I’m pretty sure Roxanne thought Essie wasn’t going to survive and threw her away.

Later, she had two other children with another man and decided to pretend they were
part of the Farwell family. Do you know about this?”

Elias was stunned since he was unaware of this. He queried quickly, “What do you
mean by that?”

“Lucian said that Archie and Benny are his biological children. He said Archie, Benny,
and Essie are triplets! Can you believe that?

” Sonya was confident that her judgment was correct. Elias pondered for a few seconds
before responding, “It sounds surprising, but it should be easy to prove if it’s true. If we
verify the DNA of the two children, we will find out the truth.
Do you think our son would not know this?” Elias could only hope that Sonya was
rational. Otherwise, he was afraid Sonya and Lucian would only grow
more and more distant from each other.

“Yes, but Lucian didn’t give me any evidence and wants me to acknowledge those two
kids as my grandsons! How can I accept this?

Do you think Roxanne poisoned Lucian to mess with his mind? I think you have to bring
Lucian for a medical checkup someday!”

The more she spoke, the more suspicious she became. Elias sighed and tried to explain
gently, “Aubree already caused a lot of harm to Essie.

This time, we have to stay calm. As for verifying the DNA, I’ll discuss this with Lucian
later. You should really stop being so obsessive.”

However, Sonya wasn’t listening to him anymore. She felt that everyone was on
Roxanne’s side instead of hers. She retorted, “Don’t mention Aubree.

Before Roxanne appeared, Aubree was fine. Who knows what Roxanne did to agitate
Aubree to cause the latter to do those irrational things?

Therefore, how could this be Aubree’s fault fully?” Seeing that he wasn’t able to
convince her, Elias decided to give up. It was impossible to change Sonya’s prejudice
against Roxanne in a short period.

He could only do it slowly. “Okay. Let’s not talk about this. We haven’t seen Essie in a
long time. Since school is about to end, let’s go over and see her.”

He deliberately changed the topic, causing Sonya to calm down. She nodded in
agreement.

chapter 1779 -

chapter 1779 – Visit To The Kindergarten When Elias and Sonya reached the
kindergarten, school had not ended yet.

They went to find Jeffrey so that they could see Estella. Jeffrey said politely, “Please
wait here for a while. I’ll go to the classroom and bring Essie here right away.”

Soon, Estella came skipping into Jeffrey’s office as she thought she was getting
rewarded. Upon seeing her grandparents, she happily charged into Elias’ embrace.
“Hahaha! Essie, did you miss me?” Elias carried Estella into his arms and smiled
dotingly. “Of course! I missed you, Grandpa!”

Elias’ stubble pricked Estella, causing her to feel a little pain. “Grandpa, your beard is
prickly!”

Elias laughed heartily and ignored Estella’s reluctance, pecking her on her cheek. “I
missed you too! It’s been so long since we have seen each other.”

Sonya felt slightly uncomfortable watching their interaction. She scolded, “Don’t you
miss me too, Essie?”

Did that woman teach Essie not to be close to me? Suspicion appeared on Sonya’s
face, causing Elias to glare at her. He reminded her softly, “What are you talking
about?”

“I missed you too, Grandma! I love your pastries! It’s been a long time since I ate them! I
really want to eat them!”

After Elias placed Estella on the ground, she went up to Sonya and opened her arms for
a hug.

Sonya felt better upon hearing Estella’s words and carried the latter into her arms with a
smile. Jeffrey tactfully decided to leave his office so that Estella’s grandparents could
spend some time with their granddaughter.

Just as he was about to leave, Elias stopped him and requested, “Mr. Bauer, could you
bring Essie’s two brothers here too?”

Jeffrey was stunned as he knew what had happened previously. He also knew Sonya’s
prejudice against the two kids.

Sonya was surprised too and glanced at her husband. Frowning, she asked, “What are
you doing?” Elias ignored Sonya’s reluctance and nodded at Jeffrey.

“Bring them over here.” “O-Okay! I’ll bring Archie and Benny over here! Please wait a
moment!” Nothing will go wrong, right? They are just meeting one another.

“Elias, why do you have to see those two kids? Do you really want to acknowledge them
as part of the Farwell family?

Let me tell you. Before anything is confirmed, I’ll never acknowledge them!” Sonya’s
tone was cold and left no room for negotiation.

Estella seemed to understand what she was saying and blinked. She asked, “Grandma,
do you not like my two brothers?
Let me tell you good news! They are my biological brothers! Mommy and Daddy are
their birth parents!”

Sonya froze but tamped down on her emotions to not show them in front of Estella.
“Lucian has already acknowledged them, so I will too.

Can you please control yourself in front of Essie? Look. Essie likes them so much. The
children’s feelings toward one another are the most important,” Elias lectured Sonya
again, but she wasn’t listening to him.

Estella’s eyes were full of curiosity. She didn’t really understand why her grandparents
were slightly angry. However, she was obedient and didn’t say anything.

Elias turned to smile at Estella. “Being with the two boys has been really beneficial.
Essie is getting more fluent when she speaks.

You can’t even tell that she has any illness.” Elias’ words were meant for Sonya, as he
wanted her to look at reality and stop focusing on her prejudices

chapter 1780 -

chapter 1780 – Acknowledge Two Brothers Sonya’s lips moved to say something, but
she was interrupted when Jeffrey brought Archie and Benny over.

The boys were impassive at the appearance of Elias and Sonya. On the other hand,
Estella beamed at them.

“Archie, Benny, hurry up and greet Grandpa and Grandma!” Estella naively urged her
brothers to acknowledge her grandparents, thinking they would then become a family.

However, the boys merely smiled at Estella’s urging and shot curious looks at Elias,
wanting to see his reaction.

With an innocently charming smile, Elias bent down and patted the boys’ heads.
“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you calling me Grandpa?

Go on, my precious grandsons.” While the boys were baffled by his kind welcome, Elias
wrapped his arms around them and pulled them in for a hug.

Archie and Benny exchanged a glance. A mixture of shock, confusion, and delight
crossed their eyes.
Archie shot a knowing glance at Benny, and they called out, “Grandpa!” “Haha! That’s
more like it! You boys are truly my precious grandons.

I’m sure I committed a lot of mistakes in the past, and I hope you can forgive me.” Elias
completely ignored the scowl on Sonya’s face.

“Grandpa! Grandpa, you’re squeezing us a bit too tightly.” Benny finally got to
experience the treatment Estella usually got.

However, the embrace was just too suffocating for his comfort.With a chuckle, Elias
released them.

Archie also experienced what it felt like to have stubble stabbing at his face. The
fascinating experience courted his genuine laughter.

“Come, let me see who is who. You’re the older brother, Archie, right? Then, you must
be the younger one, Benny. Did I get it right?”

After Elias released the boys, he studied their faces intently. Even though their eyes and
brows look like Roxanne’s, it’s just because they’re still young and have inherited her
dominant features.

I’m sure they’ll look more similar to Lucian once they’re in their teens. After all, they
most definitely inherited the Farwell family’s cool and calm temperament.

Archie and Benny nodded simultaneously. Their expression and gestures were
shockingly unanimous. It piqued Elias’ interest.

It seems I’ll have to do more research on the synchronization between a pair of twins.
Throughout the entire exchange, the boys didn’t spare Sonya a glance.

They could sense Sonya’s intense dislike of them. Her expression was dark as usual,
and her eyes were so cold that her aversion was evident.

Although Elias caught her displeasure, he wasn’t in a rush to fix the situation. He didn’t
want to force the children to make twisted decisions.

“Archie, Benny, what about Grandma? Come on, call her!” Estella urgently urged.
Archie and Benny swung their gazes to Sonya but didn’t speak.

Irritation surged within Sonya at their gazes. In the next instant, she spat biting words
through her clenched jaw. “Save it!

I don’t plan on acknowledging both of you. This is all your mother’s scam!” The boys’
expressions hardened as anger coursed through them.
Estella was stunned by the turn of events. A glint of sadness flitted across her eyes.
“Grandma, please don’t talk about Mommy like that. Please?”

“Nonsense! My mommy isn’t someone like that! We’re Daddy’s kids,” Benny retorted.

The slightly mature twin, Archie, turned his gaze to his grandfather, curious about his
reaction.

Simmering with anger, Elias nearly lost his temper and yelled at his wife, but he held it
in. “Listen to what you’re saying.

Can’t you be more discreet in front of the kids?” Sonya wanted to protest but figured she
would look foolish to argue with a child, so she kept silent.

She stepped toward Estella and picked her up into her arms. “Let’s head outside. I
heard you took dance lessons. Will you show me?”

Estella instinctively struggled against Sonya’s hold but gave up in the end. She could
sense her grandmother’s anger had ebbed.

Maybe I can talk Grandma into accepting Archie and Benny.
