Immediately upon receiving her father’s approval, Estella turned to Roxanne. “Ms. Jarvis…”
The boys approached them. “Please let Essie stay, Mommy!”
Roxanne hesitated for a moment when she saw the anticipation in the boys’ eyes. In the end, she found herself unable to say no. “Fine. If Essie wants to stay, she can.”
Delight colored the children’s countenances as they cheered.
Roxanne couldn’t help but grin upon seeing that.
As Lucian’s expression softened, he shifted his sight toward her.
Upon detecting his gaze, she suddenly tensed up. Even her expression was slightly frozen.
“Since you don’t mind, I’ll be counting on you to take care of Essie for the next few days, Ms. Jarvis,” Lucian uttered.
In response, Roxanne pursed her lips and smile.
Before he left, he informed, “I’ll arrive at the research institute at two in the afternoon.”
She nodded. “I’ll let Dr. Galloway know and ask him to head over there earlier.”
When their conversation ended, Lucian turned and left.
Roxanne and the children watched his car disappear from their sight before returning to the mansion.
It was nearly two in the afternoon, so she swiftly gave Colby a call.
Meanwhile, Colby had just left the surveillance room.
Just as he did that in suspense, he heard someone knocking on the door.
“Mr. Farwell has arrived, Dr. Galloway,” the receptionist informed while Lucian stood next to her.
Colby’s expression shifted drastically before he forced himself to calm down as quickly as possible.
A few seconds later, he turned to the entrance with a polite smile. “You should’ve called me when you arrived, Mr. Farwell. I could’ve welcomed you at the building entrance.”
Lucian’s line of sight landed on the surveillance footage on the screen and inquired, “What is this, Dr. Galloway?”
“I couldn’t help but feel something was amiss about what happened yesterday. Thus, I decided to check the surveillance footage in hopes of finding anything fishy. Since you’re also planning to investigate yesterday’s incident, how about we examine the footage together?”
Silently, Lucian gazed at him for a few seconds.
Meanwhile, Colby felt his heart pounding. Yet, he had to stifle his anxiety and pretend as though nothing was going on.

GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
Wish there was more to the story, like how the triplets end up and if the twins are as smart as their older siblings. Beautiful story 😊...
Very best book out there, full of surprises and true love. Recommend to all....
How did she leave a child behind with her husband that was same age as her two boys. This makes no sense....
