Chapter 153 His Speech Moved Her Lucian and Cayden brought the boxes of toys to Roxanne’s car. Then, they said goodbye and left.


    After getting into the car, Cayden hesitated and asked, “Mr. Farwell, are you not going to spend more


    time with Ms. Este?”


    Ms. Este has been staying in Roxanne’s home all this while and rarely interacts with Mr. Farwell. I’m


    concerned they would grow distant from theck of interaction.


    Lucian shook his head but did not say anything.


    Archie and Benny have not truly forgiven me. I have already followed them for a day and finally


    managed to redeem myself a little through gifts. If I continued to follow them, I would lose the little


    goodwill I received.


    Lucian felt his head throbbing as he thought about Archie and Benny’s attitude toward him.


    Suddenly, a phone rang in the car.


    Lucian adjusted his emotions and answered the call with a frown, “What is the matter?”


    It was a call from Jonathan. “Lucian, are you free in a couple of days? It will be my grandpa’s


    seventieth birthday soon. Initially, we did not n to organize a banquet. However, he has be ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    much healthier recently, so we n to have a huge celebration. You muste to the banquet!”


    Lucian replied in a deep voice, “Sure, I will spare some time to attend it.”


    Alfred had treated Lucian well. Furthermore, Lucian worked hard to find a way to cure Alfred.


    Therefore, he nned to attend Alfred’s seventieth birthday banquet.


    Meanwhile, Roxanne went home with the three children. Archie and Benny could not wait to unbox the


    figurines the instant they got home. They yed with the figurines until midnight.


    Since they did not have to go to school the next day, Roxanne did not stop them but coaxed Este to


    sleep.


    The following morning, Roxanne let Catalina take care of the children while she went to the Queen


    residence to treat Alfred’s illness.


    Jonathan was present during the treatment and discussed the details of the birthday banquet with


    Alfred.


    Suddenly, Jonathan turned to Roxanne and asked, “Dr. Jarvis, will you be free to attend Grandpa’s


    birthday banquet in a couple of days? I can include you on the invitation list.”


    Roxanne had just finished with Alfred’s medical treatment and was surprised to receive an invitation to


    the birthday banquet.


    She had listened to Jonathan and Alfred’s conversation and knew it would be quite the affair. They had


    invited many prominent people in Horington and prestigious families that were closely acquainted with


    the Queen family.


    On the other hand, Roxanne was only a neer and a little-known doctor in Horington. She believed


    she had no ce at this birthday banquet.


    Therefore, Roxanne hesitated and decided to refuse in the end. “I think I’d better not. I’m not good with


    such opulent social gatherings.”


    Hearing her, Alfred responded immediately, “Dr. Jarvis, it is all thanks to you that I can have a birthday


    banquet this time. If not for your efforts, I would still be bedridden! Therefore, I hope you can attend this


    birthday banquet. It would make me happy to have you there. Also, don’t worry. If you dislike


    socializing, I will make sure that no one disturbs you.”


    Roxanne did not know how to refuse in the face of Alfred’s enthusiastic invitation.


    Then, Jonathan smiled and added, “Even if you are not good at socializing, you will still have to learn it


    eventually. You are now in charge of a research institute, so you will have to interact with these people.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Furthermore, you can use this opportunity to get to know some of them. Who knows? You might bring


    good business opportunities to the research institute.”


    Those words struck a chord with Roxanne.


    Therefore, Roxanne nodded and said, “Thank you for having such good regard for me, Old Mr. Queen.


    In that case, I shall ept the invitation and will show up on time.”


    Before leaving, Roxanne briefly exined the subsequent treatment to Alfred, “You have one session


    of treatment left. After this, you only have to rest and recuperate. I will prescribe some medicine for


    you, so you must remember to take them on time. If you do, you will gradually recover.”
