    Chapter 704 Lilies


    Roxanne’s expression froze when she heard Lucian mentioning her going on a


    date again. “You should’ve told me if you were busy, Ms. Jarvis. I would’ve


    Hearing his tone, Este knew he was pissed. “Daddy!” she said anxiously.


    Lucian’s eyes darkened. He looked down at Este, and only then did he realize


    how cold he had sounded. I got angry when I saw those flowers. But Roxanne


    may not think I have the right to be angry.


    “I’m sorry I couldn’te back earlier to apany you, Essie.” Roxanne


    ignored Lucian and cast Este an apologetic look.


    Este quickly shook her head when she heard Roxanne apologizing to her. “It’s


    all right, Ms. Jarvis. You’re back now. Besides, those fried chickens were


    delicious! I love them!”


    With that, Este shot her father a discontented look. Forget that he forbade me


    from eating delicious food. Now, he even got angry at Ms. Jarvis! I’m not happy


    with that!


    Lucian merely frowned and kept mum. He was afraid that he would lose his


    temper if he were to talk again.


    Roxanne knew Este didn’t want her to put too much me on herself. She


    smiled appreciatively and said, “I’ll make you something yummy tonight, okay?”


    Ms. Jarvis is making me dinner! Este’s eyes lit up, and she nodded excitedly.


    “Okay!”


    After that, Roxanne walked into the living room.


    Only when she walked past Archie and Benny did they notice the bouquet in her


    hands. They instinctively turned toward Lucian.


    As they expected, Lucian’s expression was as ck as thunder.


    Although they weren’t pleased when Lucian told them to stop eating fried


    chicken, they chose to side with him because his effort to pursue Roxanne


    could be jeopardized.


    “Mommy!” Archie cautiously tugged at the hem of Roxanne’s clothes.


    Roxanne looked down at him in confusion.


    Archie nced at Lucian before pulling Roxanne into the kitchen. He whispered


    next to her ear, “Did Mr. Damaris give you those flowers?”


    Roxanne was stunned for a few seconds because she didn’t expect Archie to


    ask about the flowers. Is he asking this because he thinks I’m going to let Jack


    be their father?


    Holding that thought, Roxanne smiled and exined, “It is from Mr. Damaris,


    but it’s not what you think it is. I did him a favor, so he gave me these flowers to


    express his gratitude.”


    Archie and Benny weren’t convinced. Who gives others flowers to express their


    gratitude?


    Noticing the puzzlement on their faces, Roxanne said patiently, “These are lilies.


    Go on and find out what these flowers symbolize, all right? If you guys want to


    thank someone in the future, you can give them lilies.”


    Archie and Benny shared a look and nodded dubiously.

    “All right, I’m gonna go tidy things up in the living room. You guys keep Essie


    Archie and Benny nodded obediently.


    They went out of the kitchen and brought Este to the room, and the first thing


    they did was find out what the flowers symbolized.


    When they found out that lilies were given to express gratitude, they heaved a


    sigh of relief.
