“Come downstairs for dinner!” Roxanne called out to the boys after heaving a sigh inwardly.
Archie and Benny came down the stairs obediently. As soon as they saw her, they admitted their mistake by saying, “Mommy,
we''re sorry.”
Before Roxanne could utter a word in response, Benny added, “However, | don’t think we did anything wrong. That evil woman
scolded you. We wanted to protect you, Mommy!”
The sight of Aubree berating their mother infuriated the brothers so much that they acted impulsively, grabbing a watering can
nearby and pouring the water on the wicked woman’s head.
If Aubree had dared to continue scolding Roxanne, the boys would not hesitate to empty another can of water over her, even if
their mother would be angry at them.
Roxanne’s heart softened at Benny’s words. However, her expression was still tense as she replied, “I know you two care about
me, but stay out of it if something like this happens again in the future. Just let me handle it. Don’t intervene.”
Benny retorted, “Mommy-”
“You two might think that you are protecting me, but at the same time, you are putting yourselves in danger. What if Ms. Pearson
takes revenge on you two in the future? Don’t you think | would be worried about that?” Roxanne interrupted with a frown.
Archie and Benny exchanged nces sheepishly before lowering their heads. “We’re sorry, Mommy. We were too impulsive.”
Although they had yet to find proof, they spected that someone had paid the older children to beat them up. It isn’t hard to
figure out who the instruction came from. If that evil woman could do something like that, she could also take revenge on us. We
didn’t think things through...
Only after Roxanne saw that the boys had realized their mistake did she rx her tense expression. “Also, | would like to thank
you for protecting me just now.”
With that, she bent over to hug them. “However, don’t act so rashly next time. Although you two want to protect me, | also want to
protect you.”
Archie and Benny nodded obediently.
Due to the disruption caused by Aubree, they did not manage to ask about Este.
Nevertheless, they were dying to know the answers to the questions in their minds.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
After returning to their bedroom, they started discussing ways to ask Roxanne about it in the future.
Meanwhile, Roxanney in her bed with conflicted feelings. | merely wanted to check on Essie. Who would’ve thought that so
many things would end up happening instead? Not only have | met Lucian, but I’ve also gotten into conflict with Aubree...
At that moment, Lucian’s words and scenes of Este getting bullied were ying on a loop in her mind. Upon realizing what
was on her mind, Roxanne bolted upright and shook her head violently. Why am | still thinking about those things? I’ve already
promised Aubree | would stay away from them...
While she was getting frustrated with herself, her phone that was on the table rang.
Getting a grip on herself, Roxanne nced down at her phone and saw Jack’s name on the screen. It’s already sote at night.
What does Jack want from me again?
She then picked up her phone in confusion.
The second the call was connected, Jack’s voice came through the receiver. “Hi, Ms. Jarvis. Am | interrupting your sleep?”
Roxanne sounded tired when she replied, “No. | was just done getting ready for bed, but | hadn’tid down yet. What can | do for
you, Mr. Damaris?”
Jack chuckled and said, “That’s good, then. From tomorrow onward, our research is entering the key stage. My grandpa wants
me to support the research fully. Hence, | may be visiting the research institute more frequently starting tomorrow. | hope you
won''t find me a nuisance, Ms. Jarvis.”
