Chapter 1072


    Chapter 1072 y Along


    At noon, Roxanne had just finished preparing lunch when the doorbell rang. After two warnings from


    Jack that morning, Roxanne and the kids were now immune to the sound of the doorbell even though


    they knew it was most probably Lucian this time.


    Roxanne set the table for the kids before she went to answer the door. As expected, Lucian was


    waiting outside. Roxanne opened the door, and he gave her a curt nod. “Where is Essie? I’m here to


    bring her home.”


    He looked in the direction of the living room. When the children realized Lucian was here, they held


    their breaths and strained to listen to the faint sounds of his movements outside the door.


    Upon hearing Este’s name, the boys simultaneously turned their heads in her direction. Este


    puffed her cheeks and met their eyes reluctantly.


    ording to their n, she would have to follow Lucian back and try to convince him while the boys


    would be responsible for changing Roxanne’s mind.


    That way, Lucian and Roxanne could make peace with one another soon. It was time to leave, but


    Este couldn’t bear to part with Roxanne and the boys.


    The little girl was feeling hesitant when Roxanne’s voice rang out. “Are you in a hurry? If you’re not,


    you’re wee to join us for lunch.”


    Everyone’s expressions changed drastically when they heard that.


    The children were overjoyed when they heard Roxanne inviting Lucian to stay, while Lucian was


    uncertain what her invitation entailed.


    Roxanne turned over her shoulder to nce at the dining room. She lowered her voice and said, “I


    need to talk to you about Essie.”


    With that, she met Lucian’s gaze boldly.


    Lucian furrowed his brows. He epted her invitation and followed her into the dining room.


    The children were excited at the sight of him entering, but they dared not express their exhration


    openly.


    Benny hung his head low to conceal his excitement.


    This is great! It’s been a long time since Daddy and Mommy have sat down to enjoy a meal together.


    This means that their rtionship has improved, right?


    The children kept stealing nces at Roxanne and Lucian over lunch.


    Roxanne had urately predicted what the children were thinking. The realization caused her to look


    away as conflicting emotions swirled around in her heart.


    Lucian could read the kids’ minds, too.


    As the children continued to steal nces at them, he couldn’t help but be increasingly intrigued


    by Roxanne’s response.


    He subtly raised his head to get a better glimpse of her.


    The mere sight of Roxanne diligently chowing down on her food caused his gaze to harden. Suddenly,


    he had no appetite whatsoever.


    “I’m done.” Lucian put his fork down, his face devoid of expression.


    “Daddy…” Este thought he wanted to bring her home right now, so she grabbed his sleeves


    pleadingly. “Let’s go back hometer!”


    Lucian’s brows snapped together. He patted her head and assured her, “I need to talk to Ms. Jarvis.


    You can y a bit more with the boys.”


    Roxanne had lowered her voice deliberately when she mentioned Este’s name earlier, leading him to


    deduce that she wanted to keep her conversation with him a secret from the others.

    It concerned his daughter, so Lucian was willing to y along with her.


    Este had no idea what Lucian and Roxanne wanted to talk about.


    However, relief washed over her when she realized she could spend a bit more time with Archie and


    Benny. She couldn’t help but crack a broad smile.
