OUR MARRIAGE|⚜️

Chapter 2| Deserting his wife and children

                                                               ROXANNE JARVIS

Roxanne hurried to Harvey's office.

After pushing the door open, she spotted the little rascals inside they were sitting on the couch in the office and swinging their legs nonchalantly.

The boys lit up at the sight of Roxanne. Scrambling off the couch, they ran toward her excitedly. "Mommy, you're finally done! I thought you'd be staying in the laboratory forever!"

"Mommy, you've worked hard! Are you tired? Sit down. I'll give you a massage."

They led Roxanne to the couch so she could take a seat. As Roxanne took in their concern, she suddenly felt it was worth it to get yelled at.

"Look at how obedient you are. You weren't like this when you hacked into my computer earlier!" Harvey huffed angrily behind his desk.

Archie declared, "it was all your fault, Professor Lambert! You kept asking mommy to work overtime. Look, she's getting malnourished!"

"That's right! Mommy's an ordinary human being. How could you ask her to work day and night?" Benny chimed in as he kneaded Roxanne's shoulder.

His temper spiking, Harvey gave a bark of laughter and responded, "you're too overprotective of her! Everyone in the research institute does the same!"

With that being said, he shook his head and turned to Roxanne. How did your research go?"

Roxanne shot him a grin, "it went smoothly, I'll send the data to you later.", she paused before speaking, "Have you restored the data in your computer?"

Harvey ran a hand through his hair in frustration. "It has been an hour, but I still can't restore anything."

Amused, Roxanne patted Benny's hand. "Benny, go restore Professor Lambert's computer. Don't be naughty." Harvey replied, "what if he loses some more important data?"

Benny immediately replied, "that won't happen. I prepare a backup and various security levels every time. He won't lose a thing!"

As he said that, he trotted over to Harvey and restored the letters computer.

The little boy's fingers typed on the keyboard furiously and produced lines of codes

A few minutes later, the computer screen blinked and returned to normal.

Harvey took one look at his computer in admiration. He was capable of differentiating thousands of herbs and showcased his talent in medicine. He also had a sharp eye for investments.

Benny, on the other hand, was interested in programming. He was now a little hacker who was very sensitive to numbers. Like his brother, he also did a great in investments.

Besides, both of the, were adorable, mature, and cheeky.

Thus, he couldn't bring himself to yell at them whenever they kicked up a fuss. Instead, he could only vent his frustration on Roxanne.

Roxanne immediately offered an apology. "I'm sorry, Professor Lambert. Please don't blame the kids for their bad acts."

"Please don't yell at me, too. I can't always be their scapegoat, can I?"

Harvey chuckled at her reaction. "Don't worry. I didn't summon you here to yell at you. I have a task for. Listen, I've been planning on setting up a research institute back in the country. It will be focusing on traditional medicine. However, I'm still busy here and can't leave for now. After careful consideration, I've decided to send you back!"
