Chapter 1291


    Naturally, Roxanne noticed the sudden change in his attitude and knew the reason behind it. “I’m d to


    hear that,” she replied coldly.


    Jeffrey’s eyelids twitched slightly when he heard her cold response, but he forced himself to maintain a


    smile on his face.


    “The kids miss Essie a lot, so no one is going to bully her.” Pippa quickly stepped in to defuse the


    tension.


    Roxanne shed her a polite smile in response. “I’ll be cing Essie in your care, Ms. Ward.”


    Since it was time for ss to start, Pippa got ready to bring the kids inside.


    Right then, Lucian recalled something and called out to her, “By the way, do not let Aubree pick Essie up


    from school if she shows up. In the event that I am unable to pick Essie up myself, Ms. Jarvis here will do


    it for me.”


    He then shot Roxanne a meaningful look after saying that.


    Of course, Pippa understood what he was implying. She nced at Roxanne in surprise.


    I knew there was something off about the rtionship between them, but I didn’t think Ms. Jarvis would


    take Ms. Pearson’s ce in Mr. Farwell’s heart!


    Havinge to a sudden realization, Pippa began to view Roxanne in a different light.


    Roxanne did not expect Lucian to say something like that out of the blue, so she didn’t know how to


    respond at all.


    She was still trying to find the words when Este tugged at the hem of her shirt and asked excitedly, “Is


    that true, Aunt Roxanne? Will youe to pick me up from now on?”

    Everyone shifted their gaze to Roxanne upon hearing that.


    Roxanne simply couldn’t bring herself to say no when she saw the expectant look in Este’s eyes.


    “Yeah, that’s right. If your daddy can’te to pick you up, then you can y with Archie and Benny


    instead!” she said with a nod.


    All three of the kids cheered happily when they heard that.


    “Simrly, if Ms. Jarvis can’t make it, I will pick them up for her,” Lucian chimed in.


    The kids cheered even louder in response.


    Unable to turn his offer down, Roxanne could only nod in silence.


    Pippa looked at Lucian, then at Roxanne before nodding in acknowledgment. “Understood. I will be sure


    to keep that in mind.”


    Suddenly, Jeffrey thought of something and asked cautiously, “W-What if someone from your family


    comes over instead? Mrs. Farwell or Mr. Elias, for example.”


    Roxanne couldn’t help but recall the argument between them the other day.


    Although she had stood firm in her stance, that encounter still affected her somewhat.


    Since Jeffrey had asked Lucian about Sonya, Roxanne got curious as to what Lucian’s answer would be.


    “Give me a call if theye to pick her up. Do not let Essie go with them without my permission,” Lucian


    replied with a frown.


    Jeffrey nodded profusely. “U-Understood, Mr. Farwell!”


    For some inexplicable reason, Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his answer.


    While I am d to hear that Lucian is opposing his mother because she dislikes me, I can’t help but feel


    that I’m being a little selfish here…


    “ss is starting. I’ll be bringing the kids into the ssroom now.”


    Pippa waved goodbye to them and brought the three kids into the ssroom.


    Jeffrey, too, excused himself and returned to his office.


    By the time Roxanne came back to her senses, Lucian was the only one standing next to her at the


    kindergarten front gate.


    “Why did you tell Ms. Ward and Mr. Bauer that just now?” she asked helplessly while trying her best to


    remain calm.


    If Ms. Ward and Mr. Bauer know about us, then practically everyone in the kindergarten will! We aren’t


    exactly a couple yet, so I don’t want to attract too much attention!
