Chapter 708
Chapter 708 Looks A Little Guilty
Through the kitchen door, one could see into the living room. Este looked up
and saw Lucian frowning. There was also a rare look of frustration on his face.
She puffed out her cheeks and fumed inwardly, Needless to say, he must have
regretted getting mad at Ms. Jarvis and me. Hmph! It serves him right for getting
angry at us before getting his facts straight!
Even so, after grumbling about it silently, Este still remembered that she
wanted Roxanne to be her mother. Helping Daddy also means helping
myself.
With that thought in mind, she decided to set aside her prejudice and lend
Lucian a helping hand. She tugged at the hem of Roxanne’s shirt gingerly and
said in an adorable voice, “Ms. Jarvis, let’s y a game together…”
Este’s acting skills were top-notch. She wore an aggrieved expression as she
spoke, appearing as though she had yet to recover from how upset she felt
when Lucian had wanted to take her home.
Roxanne’s heart could not help softening at how pitiful Este looked. After
hesitating for several seconds, she finally raised her hand to pat thetter’s
head and agreed to a game. “Okay.”
The three children looked at each other with joy in their eyes when they saw
Roxanne acquiesce. After promising to y with them, Roxanne surveyed the
ingredients she had prepped. It looks like everything is ready. All that’s left is to
cook up the dishester this evening.
She double-checked to make sure everything had been prepared, then stood up
and followed the children out of the kitchen. As soon as she walked out, she
saw Lucian, who was still standing in the living room.
He was standing next to the coffee table with slightly downcast eyes, staring in
the direction of the couch.
Noticing movements from where the others were, he raised his head and looked
toward them. When he met Roxanne’s eyes, something seemed to cross his
mind, and his gaze flinched for a split second. Visibly frowning, he quickly
shifted his focus back to the couch.
Roxanne could not help feeling stunned by his behavior. This guy was
questioning me in a fury earlier, but as I look at him now, he looks a little guilty.
Puzzled, she followed his line of sight and saw the bunch of lilies she had left on
the couch.
I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I can’t shake the feeling that
someone seems to have tampered with the flowers. They look a little messy.
The children were waiting for Roxanne before starting the game, and when they
saw that she was lost in thought, Archie and Benny called out impatiently,
“Mommy!”
Hearing that, she jolted to her senses and shot the children an apologetic smile.
“What are we ying?”
Archie, Benny, and Este exchanged looks, the wheels in their minds spinning.
After a while, they suggested, “Let’s y Red Light, Green Light.”
Roxanne had no idea what the trio had in mind. She thought they merely
wanted to y a game out of boredom, so she readily agreed.
Benny ran up to Lucian and said innocently, “Mr. Farwell, why don’t you y
together with us?”
Roxanne’s brows drew together slightly when she saw that. She was worried
that Lucian was still angry and that it would startle Benny. To her surprise,
Lucian merely frowned for a few seconds, then lifted his head and nced
toward her before agreeing to it in an indifferent manner. “Sure.”
The twinkle in the children’s eyes grew brighter after both the adults consented
to y with them. Este was the caller for the first round. She stood at the
bottom of the staircase while the starting point for the other four was the front

door of the mansion.
Since the distance between the two points was very near, Roxanne and Lucian
had to take smaller steps to amodate the children’s strides.
