Chapter 487


    They chatted briefly. As the sky was turning dark, Roxanne got up and bid goodbye to them.


    When she got home, Archie and Benny were already there. Lysa had also already prepared dinner


    Roxanne and the boys had their meal together. After dinner, she yed with them and waited until they


    fell asleep before going back to her room.


    As Roxanney in bed, she couldn’t help but think about what Jonathan had told her that afternoon.


    It was Lucian who told Jonathan to deliver the supplies. Why did he do that? Jonathan even told me to


    ask him his motive personally.


    Roxanne had a feeling that Jonathan knew something. Why does it feel like there’s a hidden meaning


    in his words?


    Conflicting emotions welled up in Roxanne when she came to that conclusion.


    As her mind wandered, she slowly fell asleep.


    Roxanne was awoken by the sound of her phone ringing early the following morning


    When she looked at the caller ID, she realized it was from a number she did not recognize.


    Roxanne hadn’t slept wellst night and was woken up rudely by an unknown number, so she


    answered the call gruffly and demanded in a hoarse voice, “Who is this?”


    A few secondster, the person on the other end of the line chuckled and replied, “It’s me, Jack


    Damaris. Did I wake you up, Dr. Jarvis?”


    Roxanne jerked awake and sat up in bed. Rubbing her eyes, she told him, “No. I’m usually awake at


    this hour, but I fell asleepter than usualst night.”


    Jackughed understandingly.


    “Mr. Damaris, how did you get my phone number?” Roxanne was still in a daze, I remember Jack didn’t


    get my contact details previously.


    Jack replied cheerfully, “I got your number from Old Mr. Queen. Sorry for the abrupt call, Dr. Jarvis.”


    Roxanne quickly waved his concern away. “Oh, it’s fine. Why did you call me this early, though?”


    Jack nced at the old man d in a traditional outfit beside him.


    The old man gave him a curt nod.


    Jack parted his lips and revealed, “Well, I need to discuss something with you. I think we should meet


    up and talk in person, though. Dr. Jarvis, are you free to have a chat?”


    A thought shed past Roxanne’s mind, and she immediately brightened up. “Mr. Damaris, I can meet


    you anytime.”


    “Will this afternoon do? I’ll send you the locationter,” Jack suggested.


    Roxanne agreed to his suggestion at once.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    After the call ended, Roxanne felt nervous.


    Jack went through the trouble just to contact her, so the only possibility was that the Damaris family


    wanted to coborate with their research institute.


    That was what she had hoped for all along.


    Now that her wish was going toe true, Roxanne grew increasingly anxious. Hopefully, I don’t mess


    up when we meet this afternoon.


    After breakfast, Roxanne called Colby.


    Colby was already at the research institute. He had changed his clothes and was about to head into the


    research facility when he received Roxanne’s call. “Dr. Jarvis, what is it?”


    Roxanne exined, “I won’t be going to the research institute today. The Damaris family just called me


    and asked to meet with me today, so please handle all the affairs at the research institute.”


    The same thought popped up in Colby’s mind, too. He agreed readily, “Sure! Don’t worry about the


    research institute and focus on your discussion with the Damaris family. Don’t get stressed out.”


    Roxanne agreed without hesitation.
