Roxanne felt Jack's tone sounded a little peculiar.

Moreover, she also knew the kids weren't fond of him, so she rejected him on the spot, “That's not needed. Benny's injury has almost recovered. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Damaris.”

Jack replied, “It's better to take more precautions since he's just a child. I have a special ointment passed down in the Damaris family. I'll bring it over in a while to visit him.”

Sensing his insistence, Roxanne couldn't bring herself to refuse him again, so she had no choice but to agree.

“Mommy, can you ask him not to come?” Benny was reluctant to meet with Jack.

Roxanne felt helpless, listening to Benny's words.

“I did turn him down, but he was determined to come. He has your best interest at heart, so don't blatantly show your dislike toward him later.”

With that, she turned to Estella. “And you, Essie. Do not repeat what you did previously. I'll ask him to leave as soon as possible.”
