Meanwhile, at Roxanne’s mansion, the three children sat on the couch with gloomy faces while staring in the direction of Roxanne’s room on the second floor.

“Mommy must be very angry. It’s all the two women’s fault! | won't forgive them if they clooking for Mommy for trouble again.” Benny sounded furious.

With his cheeks puffed up, Archie agreed, “Hear, hear! We must protect Mommy.” However, Estella seemed to be more worried than the two boys. “Mommy has just recovered, and they've chere to bully her. The doctor says Mommy can’t get too emotionally agitated...” Worry was written all over her face.

Archie and Benny did not find it strange that Estella was addressing Roxanne as Mommy. They just felt that was how it should have been.

still, the boys, too, started to worry after hearing her words.

After all, Roxanne had locked herself in the room after teaching Aubree and Frieda a lesson. And with what Estella said, they feared something might actually happen to Roxanne again.

With that thought in mind, Benny hopped off the couch, saying, “I'm going upstairs to have a look!” Archie and Estella, too, followed suit.

With that, the three children scampered up the stairs.

Standing before Roxanne’s room door, the children knocked and called out for Roxanne with all their might.

Alas, there was no response, even after waiting for stime.

Estella panicked. She banged on the door, suppressing her urge to yell the word “mommy” as she cried, “Ms.

Jarvis!” No matter how hard she tried to keep herself together, her voice began to break.

Roxanne, who was in the room, was feeling a rush of mixed emotions. She did not have the energy to deal with the children outside the door.

In fact, she had already told them she needed stalone before heading upstairs.

Roxanne had absolutely no strength to respond to their cries.

It was not until she heard Estella’s sobs that she pulled herself together to answer, “Are you kids hungry? Ill order sfood for you. Sorry, | really don’t have the energy to cook today.” The children sighed in relief when they finally heard her voice.

With reddened eyes, Archie took a glance at his siblings before turning around. “It’s all right. We can wait for you, Mommy. We're just glad you're all right.” At that, he held Benny's and Estella’s hands, and said sweetly, “We head downstairs to wait for you. We can eat together when you're feeling better.” Roxanne nodded in silence. She did not even care if the children could see her response.

Thankfully, there was silence at the door again.

With that, Roxanne leaned against the pillow at the headboard, her emotions in a jumbled mess.

Whether or not Roxanne wanted to admit it, Aubree’s words earlier had affected her to a certain extent.

Homewrecker... Never in Roxanne’s wildest dreams did she imagine anyone using such a word on her. It stung.

Even if Roxanne had countered Aubree’s questions, she still felt insulted now that she thought about it.

Am | really a homewrecker who ruined someone else’s marriage? But Lucian had all the tto marry Aubree during the past six years. Why drag until now? Roxanne kept questioning and convincing herself that she was nothing like the word Aubree used.

Just as she was still unsure of what to make of it, the doorbell suddenly rang downstairs.

Roxanne instantly snapped back to her senses. She then walked over to the window and looked outside.

Standing at the mansion’s entrance was Lucian. He wore a gray shirt and a serious expression as he kept ringing the doorbell.
