Chapter 426


    When Roxanne saw that Archie was standing very close to Lucian, she quickly called out to him, “Let‘s


    head in, Archie.”


    The little boy nodded obediently and withdrew his gaze from Lucian. Then he followed Roxanne into th


    e house.


    Madilyn held her bestie carefully. “Is


    it true that you felt nauseous? I don‘t remember you having motion sickness in the past.”


    The twodies had known each other for years. However, it was the very first time that Madilyn had


    heard Roxanne speak about her motion sickness, and a severe one, too.


    Roxanne was afraid that her condition would frighten her children. Thus, she nodded lightly at them


    and added, “I was already unwell earlier today.”


    With that, Madilyn dropped the topic and assisted her into the mansion.


    Lucian stood at the gate, the emotions in his eyes unfathomable


    “Ms. Jarvis, Mr. Farwell is still outside.” Lysa was cooking dinner when Roxanne walked in. She noticed


    how feeble Roxanne was and dashed over to check on her. At one nce, she could see that Lucian


    was still standing on their front porch.


    Roxanne frowned and simply gave her aconic reply. “Shut the door, please.”


    She had no intention of getting entangled with that man.


    Lysa was clueless about their affairs. She had always thought that the couple was on good terms beca


    use Lucian seemed to be very caring toward Roxanne.


    At one point, she even had the impression that they would be together.


    Since Roxanne was obviously giving Lucian the cold shoulder, Lysa assumed that the two had a falling


    out over some issues.


    She felt bad when she nced at Lucian before closing the gate.


    With the doors closing in front of him, Lucian retracted his gaze and returned to the


    car. Subsequently, he instructed Cayden to send him back to the Farwell residence.


    Essie should be home now at this hour.


    Meanwhile, inside the mansion, Lysa helped Madilyn to walk Roxanne back to the bedroom. Archie and


    Benny served her a ss of hot water sweetly


    and nestled closely around her bed, staring at her intently.


    Roxanne shed the children aforting smile. “I‘m all right. I just need to get some rest, and I‘ll reco


    ver in no time. You two go out and y, okay?”


    The two of them exchanged a nce, both feeling perturbed.


    Madilyn chimed in, “Go ahead and leave her to me.”


    Then she signaled Lysa to usher the kids outside.


    Archie and Benny had no choice but to leave the bedroom reluctantly.


    As soon as the door was shut, Madilyn put on a solemn face and


    bombarded her bestie with a series of questions. “You‘d bettere clean with me now. What happened


    run into Lucian?”


    Roxanne felt slightly exasperated having to attend to the relentless interrogation of her best friend before


    Madilyn stared at her for a while. The suspicion in her eyes was


    reced with sympathy. “All right, I got it. I know what to do. It‘s just that you and Lucian…”


    Madilyn was well aware of what happened between them.


    Six years ago, Roxanne had fled to a faraway ce because of Lucian‘s hostility against her.

    Madilyn could not wrap her head around the changes in Lucian. She could only pray hard that Roxanne
