    Chapter 98


    The living room was enveloped in silence for some time.


    Lucian lifted his head to see Roxanne sleeping with Este in her arms.


    As she was holding Este, her posture was awkward, so she couldn’t really sleep peacefully. Every


    time she woke up to shift slightly, she would tighten her arms.


    That very sight pulled at Lucian’s heartstrings.


    Catalina showed up again to check on Este. She had just arrived at the couch when her employer


    gestured for her to lower her voice.


    Tiptoeing over, Catalina nced at the sleeping mother and daughter on the couch. A smile nudged


    her lips.


    Indeed, the bond between mother and daughter can never be broken. They haven’t met for years, but


    Ms. Este is still instinctively attached to her mother, and Ms. Jarvis adores her daughter.


    She frowned at the sight of the little nket barely covering their bodies and tiptoed away. Soon, she


    came back with a bigger nket and offered it to Lucian.


    Lucian’s brows snapped together. He hesitated briefly before epting the nket from Catalina.


    Bending his body, he draped the nket over them carefully and tucked Roxanne in.

    After that, he was about to get up when his gazended on Roxanne’s sleeping face.


    Lucian froze, and he couldn’t keep his gaze off her.


    This was the first time he had ever seen her up close.


    It was obvious that she wasn’t sleeping well. Hershes would flutter asionally as though she would


    wake up any minute.


    Lucian wondered when she would wake up.


    Suddenly, she frowned in her sleep as her head slipped off the couch.


    Before she could fall off the couch, Lucian reached out instinctively to protect her head. She fell into his


    embrace instead.


    Suddenly, he registered the sensation of her soft cheek brushing against his palm.


    Lucian’s gaze turned dark. Afraid of waking her up, he didn’t move an inch.


    Roxanne was in his embrace, and Este was in Roxanne’s embrace.


    Seeing that, a thought urred to Catalina. Ms.rvis left six years ago, but it might not be impossible


    for her toe back.


    She beamed at them and suggested, “Mr. Farwell, you should bring them upstairs to get some


    rest. If Ms. Jarvis sleeps here tonight, her body will ache tomorrow. She still has to go to work, right?”


    A deep line appeared in the middle of Lucian’s brows as he pondered over her suggestion. Shortly


    after, he gave a curt nod.


    Catalina took Este in her arms. Fortunately, Este was sound asleep and didn’t wake up despite


    being moved.


    Holding Este in her arms, Catalina grinned and said, “You’ll have to bring Ms. Jarvis upstairs.”


    Then, she stood aside and waited for Lucian to take action.


    Lucian paused upon hearing those words.


    It took him a long while before he made up his mind and picked Roxanne up carefully.


    In his arms, Roxanne’s head lolled aside weakly before he rested her head on his shoulder. Even after


    he got to his feet, she didn’t rouse.


    Lucian stared at her and frowned unhappily.


    She’s as light as a feather. Has she not been taking care of herself over the years?


    Catalina shed a gratified smile at the sight of Lucian carrying Roxanne.


    No matter what, Mr. Farwell and Ms. Jarvis are the perfect couple!
