Catching sight of Este having her meal gloomily, Lucian could not restrain himself from questioning, "Essie, what''s the matter? Why''re you unhappy?" Este pouted her lips and grumbled, "You don''t like Ms. Jarvis anymore."


    bbergasted, Lucian was silent for a few seconds before querying desperately, "What makes you say that?"


    Down in the dumps, Este stared at him. "We can finally meet Ms. Jarvis during the anniversary celebration, but you don''t seem to look forward to it at all." Lucian''s brows twitched uncontrobly as he refuted, "That''s not true.".


    Este threw him a nce doubtfully. Daddy didn''t look excited at all in the car just now. Even when he''s denying it now, he doesn''t look d at all. He''s bluffing!


    Sensing Este''s doubt, Lucian frowned resignedly. "I only can''t help thinking we can''t carry on like this."


    Perplexed, Este tilted her head.


    Lucian stroked Este''s head affectionately. Deep down, he knew he needed her help to mend his rtionship with Roxanne. Oh! Why don''t I make things clear with her now? "Essie, you like Ms. Jarvis, don''t you? Since she''s paying no heed to us, don''t you think we should take the initiative first?" He guided her patiently.


    Este nodded fervently.


    "Essie, if Ms. Jarvis shows up during the anniversary celebration, go to look for her, okay?" Lucian asked.


    Este was more than willing to do so. Thus, she nodded without thinking twice.


    Lucian nodded slightly, racking his brain on what excuse he could use to approach Roxanne that day.


    Just as his head was aching, the screen of his phone on the table lit up.


    Lucian grabbed it instinctively to have a glimpse. It was a message sent by Pippa to the parents'' group chat: Dear parents, our kindergarten will arrange for our students to have stage performances during the anniversary celebration. We sincerely hope that all of you can attend it and watch their performances. Apart from that, we n to have our students perform a y together with their parents on the stage. It is to strengthen the rtionship between the students and their parents. Thus, we look forward to everyone''s cooperation.


    At the sight of the message, Lucian felt his heart flutter.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    At that instant, one of the parents responded with a question: Is itpulsory for everyone to take part in the y? How will the performers be confirmed?


    Pippa replied: We hope that everyone can take part. However, parents who can''t make it can contact me directly. As for the parents who can take part, we''ll divide everyone into groups. I''ll share the team list here once the list of parents participating is confirmed.


    Everyone agreed in unison.


    The moment Lucian realized everyone would be divided into groups, he arched his brows as something popped into his mind.


    After replying to Pippa''s message in the group chat, he called Cayden right away.


    Cayden had just had his dinner when his phone rang with Lucian''s name blinking on the screen. He answered it at once. "Mr. Farwell, what can I do for you?”


    Lucian instructed solemnly, "Get in touch with the head of the kindergarten. Tell him to talk Roxanne into attending the anniversary celebration this round. On top of that, request him to arrange Essie and her two kids in the same team."


    Cayden was clueless about the series of activities during the anniversary celebration of the kindergarten. Even so, he dared not dawdle to carry out the mission as instructed by his boss.


    Right after Lucian hung up, Cayden called the head of the kindergarten to ry the former''s instruction. Thetter agreed with that readily.
