Roxanne was dog-tired. She would doze off almost immediately after getting into her bed for the past couple of
nights.
That night, however, she couldn’t fall asleep even after being in bed for quite a long while.
Instead of feeling sleepy, all she could think about was Lucian’s desire-filled gaze.
Roxanne couldn’t help but feel nervous when she knew that Lucian was still downstairs.
She only heaved a sigh of relief inwardly when she heard the sound of the door closing coming from downstairs.
After that, she went to the window and saw Lucian getting into his car. The car stayed motionless for a while before
leaving the compound slowly.
Roxanne watched Lucian’s car disappear from her sight before returning to bed and dozing off within seconds.
She didn’t know whether Lucian’s massage was the reason or not, but she felt more energized when she woke up in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe morning.
Since it was a Sunday, Roxanne stayed home with the kids instead of going to the research institute. At the same
time, she was allowing herself some time off.
Early the following morning, Roxanne sent the kids to school and rushed to the research institute. The sooner I
develop the new drug, the sooner I get to accompany the kids.
Meanwhile, Ophelia received a call from Aubree.
“What’s the matter with you? It has been days, and you still haven’t made your move!” Aubree was livid because
she had neither found the man nor heard the news about Roxanne getting taught a lesson.
“There’s nothing I could do. That b*tch has been staying home, and I can’t get into their residential area.” Ophelia
was feeling helpless as well. I was camping outside the research institute the entire day yesterday, but I didn’t see
Roxanne.
“Well, she has to be working today! If I don’t hear good news from you today, you better just leave and go back to
where you came from!” Aubree uttered coldly.
Upon hearing that, Ophelia immediately assured, “Don’t worry. I’ll get it done today!”
Aubree wasted no time disconnecting the call right after she heard those words.
Ophelia didn’t dare to waste a second either, so she instantly took her coat and left.
She drove to Roxanne’s research institute and found Roxanne’s car after a long search.
Right when she was about to do something, she suddenly remembered something. There are surveillance cameras
here! If I do something here, they’re going to catch me.
Taking that into account, Ophelia abruptly paused in her tracks and pondered for a moment.
After some time, Ophelia turned around and walked toward the entrance of the kindergarten. Since it’s Monday,
those three b*stards have surely gone to the kindergarten. In that case, Roxanne will have to fetch them. When
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe’s fetching them, the entrance will be crowded. If I were to do something then, no one would see me!
After Ophelia left, a few people were seen whispering to each other before tailing her.
Obviously, Roxanne had no idea what was going on outside. She was totally focused on the research.
In the evening, Linda saw that Roxanne was still in the laboratory, so she asked cautiously, “Dr. Jarvis, are you still
busy? Do you need me to fetch the kids?”
That had been the norm ever since Roxanne had been busy researching.
Upon hearing those words, Roxanne looked at the time and realized it was almost time for classes in the
kindergarten to be dismissed.
“It’s all right. I’m finishing up.”
Roxanne finished up her work for the day and got changed before she went to fetch the kids.
The events of the past two days had made her realize how little companionship the kids had.
Roxanne was eager to accompany them whenever she could.
