Chapter 520


    “Close your eyes.” Lucian gave her another instruction.


    Roxanne’s eyelids fluttered before sheplied.


    She became nervous when she felt the man’s warm breath near her once more but tried to stay calm


    by digging her nails into her palms.


    The little ones watched as Lucian got closer and closer to Roxanne. Right as his lips were about to


    touch hers, Lucian froze for a moment. Then he tilted his head slightly, creating the illusion of a kiss.


    Roxanne was aware of how Lucian froze and moved his head away. She held her breath and waited


    for quite some time, but the man did not step away from her.


    It was so quiet that she could hear Lucian’s breathing.


    Roxanne could not help but knit her brows. When she cautiously opened her eyes, she saw the man in


    front of her. His gorgeous face left her in a daze for a few seconds.


    When she came to her senses, she pressed her palm against his chest to stop him from advancing. “A


    simple kiss will do. Don’t forget to straighten up once you do so as Sleeping Beauty is supposed to


    wake up.”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Lucian’s eyes darkened while he scrutinized her face.


    Upon hearing that, the man gradually straightened his back and gave Roxanne a baffling smirk.


    “Thanks for your reminder, Ms. Jarvis.”


    Roxanne lowered her eyes and stood up. “Let’s call it a day. This should be the ending scene for the


    y.”


    She then got up and walked to the three children, leaving Lucian alone on the couch.


    Lucian was pleased with the development.


    As such, he was not bothered by how Roxanne once again distanced herself from him.


    Upon hearing what Roxanne said, Lucian got up from the couch, walked to Este, and said in a deep


    voice, “I’ll see you tomorrow then.”


    He lowered his eyes and reminded Este, “Essie, say goodbye to Ms. Jarvis and the boys.”


    Este did not throw a tantrum because she knew she would being tomorrow. The little girl waved


    her hand to bid them farewell. “Goodbye, Ms. Jarvis. See you tomorrow, Archie and Benny.”


    Roxanne grinned at Este and walked them to the door.


    After sending them off, she brought Archie and Benny back to their room.


    On the way back to the Farwell residence, Este sat in the passenger’s seat and looked at her father


    in anticipation. “Daddy, do you think Ms. Jarvis will like us?”


    Lucian froze at Este’s question.


    He merely wanted to use the anniversary celebration to draw Roxanne closer to him and had not


    thought of anything beyond that.


    Thus, he was surprised that Este had developed that train of thought. Getting Roxanne to like Essie


    might be a piece of cake, but getting her to like me…


    Lucian could not help but smirk and mock himself when he recalled all the incidents six years ago. She


    left without a trace six years ago. It won’t be easy to win her heart over again.


    Upon noticing his hesitation, Este clenched her fists and asked anxiously, “Will Ms. Jarvis start


    avoiding us again?”


    Lucian lifted his eyes to look at the little girl and answered in a solemn voice, “It all depends on what


    you’re capable of.”


    Roxanne had always had a soft spot for Este. Lucian always knew he was the only reason she


    maintained a distance from his daughter.


    When she heard that answer, Este pressed her lips and raised her fist. “Okay! I’ll try my best!”
