    Chapter 691 Who Is She With


    Lucian’s gaze darkened slightly at Archie’s reply. Treating a child? Roxanne could be with either Jack or Larry. Lucian clung to


    thest sliver of hope as he asked Archie and Benny, “Do you remember what the man looked like?”


    The boys looked at each other. Benny sensibly remained silent and allowed Archie to take the lead. The elder twin replied


    somberly, “The man looked very handsome and seemed to be on good terms with Mommy.”


    He hoped it would remind Lucian that their mother had many admirers and spur him to step up his courtship. Sadly, his n


    backfired. He did not know Lucian and Roxanne’s rtionship had grown tense because of Larry and Jack.


    Archie’s reply only added to Lucian’s suspicions of Roxanne’s rtionship with the two men.


    He thought of asking the boys for more details but decided against it when he noticed their nk expressions. With his brows still


    knitted, Lucian asked, “How will you go to schoolter? Do you need me to give you a lift?”


    The boys shook their heads. “Mommy already told the school we''re noting in today.”


    Lucian looked to Este upon hearing the boys’ reply.


    The young girl had been upset after learning that Roxanne had left with another man. In fact, she was taking it out on her father


    by giving him the cold shoulder.


    | told Daddy | wanted to see Ms. Jarvis in the morning! Daddy took his sweet time and made uste. Now, Ms. Jarvis has left


    with someone else!


    Este even began doubting her father’s ability to woo Roxanne and give her the mother she wanted.


    Lucian sensed his daughter’s discontent and massaged his temples in frustration. Then, he asked Archie and Benny, “Can |


    leave Essie with you two? | have to get to work, so | won’t take a detour to her kindergarten. Do you promise to take care of


    yourselves?”


    The boys immediately jumped at the opportunity to spend time with their sister. “Of course! We''ll take good care of Essie!”


    Lucian turned to Este next, relieved to notice the hint of a smile curving her mouth.


    Despite her earlier displeasure, she evidently cheered up at the thought of spending time with Archie and Benny.


    He knew his daughter best. If he insisted on sending her to kindergarten, she would be mad at him for the rest of the day until


    she met Roxanne.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    It was better to leave her at Roxanne’s house and allow her to y with the boys. Her mood would certainly improve.


    After leaving Este in Archie and Benny''s care, Lucian waved goodbye to the children and got into his car.


    Still, he felt insecure about leaving the children at home alone and called Cayden, instructing him to arrange for some men to


    watch the house and keep the children safe.


    Cayden quickly agreed to his orders.


    After hanging up, Lucian instinctively pulled up Roxanne’s number on his phone and hesitated about calling her.


    | should at least figure out who she’s with right now.


    He quickly squashed the thought before it could take root in his mind.


    After all, Roxanne had never appreciated his efforts of snooping around her life, and she had repeatedly exined the innocent


    nature of her rtionship with Larry and Jack to him.


    Lucian merely refused to believe her.


    His suspicions had riled her up on many asions.


    If he called her now and interrogated her on her whereabouts, he would destroy his previous efforts to improve her impression of


    him.


    Despite his frustration, Lucian reined in his jealousy and kept his phone.
