Chapter 1256


    After lunch, Roxanne noticed Lucian seemed to make a phone call. In no time, the mansion’s doorbell


    rang. Roxanne opened the door and saw Jonathan standing outside with a smile.He quickly swept his


    gaze over her and was relieved to find that she was unhurt. Breaking into a grin, he said, “Dr. Jarvis,


    I’m here to pick up Lucian. Where is he?”Earlier, Lucian had called Jonathan and asked thetter to


    pick him up. There were things they had to discuss face-to-face.Jonathan could more or less guess


    what Lucian wanted to talk about, so he did not reject the request. Right after hanging up, he rushed


    over.As if worried that Roxanne would be suspicious, Jonathan added casually, “It’s about work. We


    have to talk at thepany, and since I was nearby, I dropped by to pick him up.”Roxanne found


    Jonathan’s expression a bit strange, but she did not probe.After all, Jonathan had said that it was about


    work, so it should have nothing much to do with her.Roxanne stepped aside and let Jonathan in. “He’s


    inside. Go on in and call him.”Without hesitation, Jonathan took a step forward to head into the


    house.At that moment, Lucian appeared with the three kids trailing behind him.Upon spotting Jonathan,


    the trio greeted him in unison. “Hello, Mr. Queen!”Jonathan was delighted to see the kids looking


    genuinely happy. “Hello, little ones. I came in such a hurry that I forgot to buy you gifts. I’ll make it up to


    you next time, all right?”The kids nodded obediently and turned to Lucian with puppy eyes.“Mr. Farwell,


    are you leaving already?” Benny asked, reluctant to part with Lucian.Lucian stroked Benny’s head and


    told him, “I have some things to attend to. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Archie, Benny, and Este all looked


    unwilling to say goodbye just yet.Although they practically ate with Lucian and Roxanne every day over


    the past few days, this day was different.They wished they could just stick to the couple’s side from this


    day on, but to their disappointment, Lucian was leaving so soon.Lucian rubbed the children’s heads


    one by one to make them feel better. Next, he strode toward Roxanne.Since Jonathan and the kids


    were there, Roxanne couldn’t help but feel nervous. She had no idea what Lucian was going to


    do.Fortunately, Lucian only approached her and told her, “Wait for me. I’ll make it clear to you.”As


    Roxanne took in Lucian’s deep voice, she looked at him in confusion.However, Lucian had already


    spun on his heels and walked to Jonathan’s side by then. Without pausing, he headed


    outside.Jonathan hurriedly bid goodbye to Roxanne and the children. “We’ll get going then. See


    you.”The children waved at him politely.Turning around, Jonathan swiftly caught up to Lucian.The two


    men got into Jonathan’s car without even sparing a nce at Lucian’s vehicle.While Roxanne watched


    them leave with the kids by her side, questions started to pop up in her mind.Jonathan had said they


    were going to thepany to talk about work.Yet before Jonathan came, Lucian never mentioned


    anything about it.Aside from that, what Lucian said before he left made Roxanne nervous for some


    reason.Make it clear to me? What is he referring to? Is it about Aubree and Frieda’smotion earlier


    today, or…When an idea urred to Roxanne, she snapped back to her senses. Anticipation began to


    grow in her heart.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
