Chapter 2| Deserting his wife and children

Start from the beginning
                                    

Roxanne had no idea he would say that. She froze and hesitated.

Go back home?

She never thought of going back to that place again after leaving six years ago. After all, she didn't have a family or someone she cared about back there.

Besides, she had grown to love Yartran.

Her first reaction was to reject the offer. "Professor Lambert, I-"

Harvey interjected, "Roxanne, I know you don't want to head back, but I hope you'll consider my suggestion, you've been my student for years, so I believe you know how wide and profound traditional medicine is. There aren't enough herbs here for you to research. In Chanaea, you'll have all the herbs you want. You can use and research them freely. Most importantly, many hidden and prestigious families are in possession of ancient medical skills in Chanaea. I remember you're interested in that, right?
That was why I made the suggestion for you to return to Chanaea, You have a bright future ahead of you. Besides, you're different now, no matter what happens, or who you run into, I believe you can handle everything calmly, right?"

At his words, Roxanne fell silent.

He's right. I've changed into a completely different person now. I can face all obstacles without fear. Besides, it has been six years. Perhaps that man is already married to his first crush. Why am I afraid?

With that thought in mind, Roxanne took a deep breath and nodded solemnly. "All right, then. Professor Lambert, I'll listen to you and return to Chanaea."

Harvey beamed. "I'm glad made up your mind quickly. Don't worry. I'll ask Linda to come with you. I'll also arrange a team to help you out there."

"Great. Thank you, Professor Lambert!" Roxanne gave a curt node.

As they were conversing, Archie and Benny shared a look. They could sense each other's excitement.

Mommy's finally returning to Chanaea!

In fact, the two of them had been dying to head back for ages. After all, their father was back there. They wanted to see him in person. Of course, they also wanted to teach him a lesson for deserting his wife and children.
.............................................................................................................................................

Two days later, Roxanne and the boys landed at the international airport in Horington.

Roxanne was finally back in Chanaea after six years.

After disembarking the plane, they walked out of the hallway. Just then, Benny squeezed his legs together and tugged at the corner of Roxanne's skirt. "Mommy, I need to pee."

Roxanne and Archie giggled at the sight of his urgent expression. "Okey. Let's go, then."

She reached out to ruffle Benny's hair.

At once, Benny trembled violently. "Stop it, Mommy, I'm going to pee my pants!"

With a chuckle, Roxanne led him to the restroom.

Archie then brought him into the restroom while Roxanne waited outside with their luggage. She didn't forget to send her professor a text to inform him about the arrival.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.

"Idiots! How could so many of you fail to keep an eye on a little girl? What use are you if you can't even complete such a simple task?"

There was a hint of dory in the man's melodious, deep, and rich voice. It was pleasing to the ears.

Roxanne's hands, which were initially typing out a message on her phone, froze instantly.

Six years had passed since she last heard this voice, but she still found it eerily familiar.

Looking up, Roxanne spotted the tall figure some distance away.

Standing not far off was a tall man. His black suit accentuated his long legs and added a touch of elegance to his figure. Even in the crowd, he was eye-catching.

Roxanne could see his perfect side profile from her line of sight.

His tall nose and sculpted features were envy of many. In fact, he looked so handsome that the other men paled in comparison to him.

Lucian Farwell.

Roxanne's heart clenched at the sight of him.

She had no idea she'd run into him on the day of her arrival.

The feeling she had buried deep in her heart emerged temporarily, but she quickly put a lid on them.

Her gaze turned frosty.

She could finally appear calm before him.

Right then, the boys emerged from the restroom. "Mommy, we're done!" They declared cheerfully. Roxanne snapped out of her reverie and nearly had a heart attack.

The first thought that popped up in her mind was that she needed to leave right away. I can't let Archie and Benny see him. They bear a resemblance to him. If they bump into each other, he'll definitely realize something's wrong!

Roxanne refused to get involved with him yet again.

Flustered, she urged, "you're done? Come, let's go. You don't want your godmother to wait, do you?"

Without waiting for a reply, she dragged her luggage away.

LUCIAN FARWELL
Halfway through his phone call, Lucian heard a familiar voice and turned at his shoulder.

From the corner of his eyes, he spotted a familiar female figure.

Roxanne Jarvis? Is that her? She's back?

Lucian ran after immediately, but her figure had already disappeared into the crowd.

As his gaze turned dark, Lucian was about to explode with rage.

She left the country so resolutely and even abandoned the kid. There's no way she's back.
