Chapter 200


    Chapter 200 Roxanne had just gotten off work when she heard the employees in the research


    institute discussing Lucian and Aubree‘s marriage.“Mr. Farwell is so attentive! He actually took care of h


    is fiancée for the entire night. If it were my boyfriend, he would never do so.”“Most importantly, he‘s han


    dsome and rich. His fiancée is beautiful as


    well. She resembles Dr. Jarvis quite a bit, so she must be a beauty!”Simr sentiments drifted into the a


    ir.


    The group of researchers chatted as they walked. When they caught sight of Roxanne, they even bid h


    er farewell. “See you tomorrow, Dr. Jarvis.”Smiling, Roxanne answered them one by one.However, she


    couldn‘t help feeling puzzled upon hearing their discussion.Lucian took care of his fiancée the whole of


    last night? But he had been with me the entire timest night. When did he meet up with Aubree?


    Just when she found it strange, Colby came up to her from behind. “Are you free tonight? How about h


    aving dinner together?”Abruptly snapping back to her senses, Roxanne shed him an apologetic smil


    e. “I still need to rush over to the kindergarten to pick my kids up, so I‘m afraid I‘ll have to take a rain ch


    eck. Another day, perhaps. When the project concludes, I‘ll treat


    everyone to a meal.”When Colby heard that, a glimmer of disappointment shed across his eyes, but


    he said nothing in the end. Talking about the project, he exited the research institute


    with her.As Roxanne didn‘t drive to work, she could only hail a taxi by the roadside.A moment


    later, Colby‘s car slowly came to a stop in front of her. “Did you not drive?”In response, Roxanne shook


    her head.“Where are you going? I‘ll give you a ride. I don‘t have anything to do tonight anyway, and it is


    n‘t easy to get a taxi here.” Colby‘s smile was warm and gentle.caswas warmRoxanne hesitated for a s


    econd. She nced at the time, only to see that it was indeed time Archie and Benny got off school. Th


    us, she


    didn‘t decline but opened the car door and got into the car.    No sooner had she settled into the car tha


    n she received a call


    from Harvey again, inquiring about the project‘s progress.She exined things to him briefly and sin


    ctly.After hanging up the phone, she was just about to put her phone away when a push notificationpop


    ped out.The headline read: Mr. Farwell drove his fiancée to the hospital in the


    middle of the night and kept herpany the entire night.Seeing that, she inexorably recalled the situat


    ionst night and the employees‘ discussion


    earlier. Unbidden, she tapped open the link.Right after doing that, two blurry photos entered


    her line of sight.The instant she saw the photos, she froze. She didn‘t even have to tap into


    them to tell that the woman in there was her.The first photo was taken when she was delirious with a hi


    gh fever, probably when Lucian carried her from the car to the hospital.Even when she woke up in the h


    ospital, she was still in the man‘s arms.WdrmsHowever, she didn‘t expect them to look so close in the p


    hoto.That aside, the man seemed to exert particr care when carrying her.The second photo was tak


    en when she got into the car with Este in her arms, while Lucian stood at the side.She had no idea w


    here the person who snapped the photo hid that neither of them perceived his presence.Besides, the p


    aparazzo who published that news evidently couldn‘t distinguish between her and Aubree that such a


    misunderstanding


    transpired.Fortunately, the photos were exceedingly blurry, so much so that only those closest to her co


    uld tell that the woman in them was her.With her brows creased, Roxanne continued scrolling downwar


    d, only to see that thements below were all envious


    of her because of Lucian‘s attentiveness toward her.Little did they know that she didn‘t feel the least bit


    happy about it.After looking through them for a while and ascertaining that no one realized that the wo


    man in the photos wasn‘t Aubree, she put away her phone


    with mixed emotions.Hoping to avoid unnecessary trouble, she didn‘t n on rifying


    things.Instead, she merely found the entire misunderstanding rather amusing.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
