Chapter 217


    Chapter 217 The following day when Roxanne woke up, she realized it was almost


    half past sevenImmediately, she got out of bed and washed up. Without having time to eat breakfast, s


    he hurriedly brought the kids to the kindergarten.As Lysa was only in charge of picking the kids up, it w


    as Roxanne‘s job to send them to the kindergarten on the way to work.In order to avoid Lucian, Roxann


    e had been leaving the house very early in the past few days.


    However, she could not wake up that day because she had workedte the night before.Thus, Roxann


    e spent her whole journey praying she could avoid seeing Lucian.However, things did not go her way.


    When she got out of the car, a Bentley with a familiar–


    looking number te stopped behind her car.A momentter, Lucian brought Este out of the car.Rox


    anne could not help but quicken her pace, wanting to send the kids inside the kindergarten as soon as


    possible and leave unnoticed.“Good morning, Ms. Jarvis!” Pippa greeted her warmly.Upon


    hearing that, Roxanne‘s heart sank as she stopped in her tracks.Meanwhile, Lucian had already recogn


    ized the Mercedes–Benz in front of him when he got out of


    the car. When he looked over, he saw the figure of a woman leading two kids away.It was


    obvious that the three were in a hurry. Thus, one would not believe it if Roxanne argued


    that she was not trying to avoid Lucian.While standing hand in hand with her father, Este‘s eyes droo


    ped as she stared at the ground. It looks like I won‘t be seeing Ms. Jarvis today either. Thus, when she


    heard the teacher‘s words, her eyes lit up as she


    immediately looked toward the kindergarten entrance.“Ms. Jarvis!” Lucian hade up with all sorts


    of ways to make talk that day, yet all it took was one look at Roxanne for Este to yelp excitedly.Furro


    wing his eyebrows mysteriously, Lucian loosened his grip on Este‘s hand andallowed her to run over


    to Roxanne.    Roxanne had


    stiffened upon hearing Este‘s voice and turned around a momentter.Tilting her head to


    look up at Roxanne, Este hugged onto her thigh, her eyes filled with excitement.“You‘re here, Essie.”


    Roxanne‘s heart softened when she saw Este‘s face. Then, Roxanna squatted down to pat the little g


    irl‘s head.Este nodded with a smile before slowly asking, “Ms. Jarvis, why didn‘t you pick Archie and


    Benny up from the kindergarten?” After saying that, she put up four fingers and added coquettishly, “Fo


    ur days. I miss you a lot.”Upon hearing that, Roxanne‘s gaze softened as she struggled for an answer.


    Although Roxanne knew Este would be anxious if she did not see her, she also needed to avoid Luci


    an. Thus, Roxanne had no choice but to do so.When Roxanne saw how upset Este was, she felt


    guilty. After staying silent for a moment, she forced an excuse. “I miss you too. I‘ve been busy with work


    tely, so I don‘t have the time to pick them up from kindergarten. Don‘t worry. You‘ll soon see me ever


    y day after I finish my work.” After saying that, she averted her gaze in guilt.However, Este had taken


    her word seriously and nodded obediently. “I‘ll wait for


    you!”Roxanne forced a smile. “Good girl. You‘re going to bete, so you should head inside with Archie


    and Benny.” After saying that, she could not help but advise her two children, “Remember to take good


    care of her.”Archie and Benny were confused after seeing their mother‘s attitude toward Este. Thus, t


    hey hesitated for a moment


    before nodding obediently.After seeing them entering the kindergarten, Roxanne stood up and nodded


    at Lucian, who was


    behind her, as a greeting. Then, she turned around and was about to leave.However, arge hand grab


    bed her wrist after she had just taken two steps.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
