    showered on AubreeRoxanne finally returned to her senses and eyed him in puzzlement. “What’s


    wrong?”Poking the food on his te, Benny replied gloomily, “I don’t like thatdy.”Roxanne was briefly


    stunned by his words. “Why’s that?” Benny’s only met Aubree twice. Why would he have such


    prejudice against her?The boy lifted his head and nced at Roxanne, wanting to tell her it was


    because Aubree wanted to marry Lucian and that Aubree was the reason Lucian them.However, it


    urred to him that Roxanne did not know about themfinding out their identities. Hence, he pouted


    and swallowed the words he wanted to say. “Because Ms. Pearson treats Essie badly. Essie doesn’t


    like her.”Roxanne’s heart ached for Este, but she could only smile and console the boys. “Oh, that’s


    unlikely. Why would she treat Essie badly? She’s going to be Essie’s mom in the future. Come on now.


    Stop thinking too much and eat your food.”Benny lowered his head reluctantly,ining about


    Lucian in his heart.Just exactly how is Ms. Pearson better than Mommy? Why does Daddy want to


    marry that woman?After lunch, Pippa invited everyone totake a walk around the area.When Roxanne


    took the boys out of the cafeteria, she realized they were still feeling low. Hence, she decided to take


    them out for a stroll. She suggested, “Why don’t you take me to the ce you hidst night? I have no


    idea how you boys find that ce.”The boys finally cheered up at the mention of the hide-and-seek


    game. Just as they were about to take Roxanne to the location, they heard Este’s sweet voice.“Ms.


    Jarvis…”The fact that Aubree had reced. Roxanne’s spot during mealtime put Este in low spirits.


    She had barely eaten her food.Only when she saw Roxanne did she finally smile.Roxanne stopped in


    her tracks and turned at her shoulder, only to find Lucian and Aubree standing side by side behind


    Este.Seeing how great the two looked together, Roxanne immediately averted her gaze.Archie and


    Benny, too, saw the couple. They put on a stern expression and tugged Roxanne’s hand. “Mommy, let’s


    go!”They did not want to see the image of Lucian being with Aubree.Roxanne nodded to the boys and


    lowered her gaze, exining to Este, “I’m taking Archie and Benny out for a walk.Be a good girl and


    stay with your daddy. okay?”She bent over and patted Este’s headbefore leaving with the


    boys.Este stared fixedly at their backs. Seeing Roxanne had no intentions of turning around, EsteContent rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    turned to Lucian and tugged his sleeve.Frowning, Lucian called out to Roxanne, “Ms. Jarvis, if you


    don’t mind, can we join you?”Roxanne halted in her tracks and turned around to give Lucian a distant


    look. “I don’t mind taking a walk with you and Ms. Pearson, your fiancée. I just don’t want to be the third


    wheel. So please, don’t put me in a tight spot.”Without giving Lucian the chance to speak, Roxanne


    took the boys’ hands and marched away.Lucian’s expression became grim as he watched Roxanne


    leave with Archie and Benny.Fiancée? Third wheel? That woman really knows how to get on my


    nerves.Este never expected Roxanne to leave her behind. And with Aubree standing beside her, her


    lips quivered, and her eyes reddened. She looked as if she could burst into tears in the next second.
