Chapter 655


    Chapter 655 I 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 her eyes.


    I 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 I 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. I


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


    All that matters is that you’re okay. I 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.
