Chapter 655


    Chapter 655 | Will Exin To Este The sound of footsteps could be heard from upstairs the moment she stepped through the


    door. “Mommy!” Archie and Benny rushed out of their room, trotted down the stairs, and stopped in front of her, staring intently at


    her with odd expressions. Still feeling heavy-hearted, Roxanne had no choice but to put away her thoughts as she met the boys’


    gazes. “What''s wrong?” As soon as she said that, she saw the boys curiously peering at the door as if searching for something.


    After a while, they retracted their gazes, looking disappointed. “What are you two looking for?” Roxanne asked, puzzled. The


    boys looked up at Roxanne with disappointment written all over their faces.


    “Mommy, is Essie noting today?” Those words confused Roxanne even more. She could not understand why they would


    suddenly bring Este up. “It’ste. Essie should be sleeping already.” Archie and Benny tilted their heads in puzzlement. “But


    wasn’t it Mr. Farwell who sent you home just now? Didn’t Essie tag along?” The boys were worried about Roxanne when she


    had not returned at such an hour. Hence, they kept running to the windows to check for signs of her return. When they caught


    sight of Roxanne stepping out of Lucian’s car, they hurried downstairs to greet Este, thinking thetter would havee along,


    too. However, by the time they descended the stairs, Roxanne had already entered the house with no signs of Este behind


    her. Roxanne’s expression froze slightly when she found out the children had seen Lucian sending her home. Worry shed past

    | wonder if they noticed the tension between Lucian and me. Did they sense anything weird? Roxanne studied their expressions


    for a while. Realizing they were only focused on looking for Este, the former sighed with relief and forced a smile. “Mr. Farwell


    and | met at work. Just like you two, Essie is also waiting for Mr. Farwell at home.” The children nodded in understanding and


    started asking Roxanne about her day. Roxanne was so overwhelmed by her thoughts that she briefly answered the children and


    urged them to return to their beds before retiring to her room to wash up. While she was washing up, Lucian’s words during the


    car ride echoed in her mind. They filled her heart withplex feelings and even slowed her down in everything she did. By the


    time she stepped out of the bathroom, an hour had passed. Suddenly, her phone that was on the table lit up.


    Roxanne walked over and saw Larry''s name on her screen. It was at that moment that Roxanne suddenly remembered she was


    supposed to inform Larry she had returned home. Her mind was so upied with Lucian the moment she came home that she


    had forgotten all about it. Seeing the screen was still shing, she quickly returned Larry’s call. “Roxanne?” Larry’s voice


    sounded the second the call connected. Roxanne immediately apologized, using the boys as an excuse, “I’m so sorry, Larry. |


    was so busy coaxing Archie and Benny that | forgot to call you.” Larry heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s fine. All that matters is that


    you''re okay. | was about to give Mr. Farwell a call if you hadn’t answered your phone just now.” The mention of Lucian triggered a


    strange feeling in her heart. Thankfully, Larry did not ask much. He merely asked how she was doing before hanging up.


    Roxanne was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw the phone screen dim. To her surprise, it soon lit up again. It was a


    text from Lucian. It read: If you’re too busy these days and don’t have the time to attend the concert we agreed upon previously,


    you can choose not to go. I''ll exin it to Essie. Roxanne’s heart, which had finally calmed down, was flooded with emotions


    again after she had read the contextless text.
