Chapter 1291

Naturally, Roxanne noticed the sudden change in his attitude and knew the reason behind it. “I'm glad to hearthat,”

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 flashed her a polite smile in response. “I'll be placing Essie in your care, Ms. Ward.”

Since it was time for class 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 glanced at Roxanne in surprise.

I knew there was something off about the relationship between them, but I didn't think Ms. Jarvis would take Ms.

Pearson's place in Mr. Farwell's heart!

Having come 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 Estella tugged at the hem of her shirt and asked excitedly, “Is that true,

Aunt Roxanne? Will you come 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 Estella's eyes. “Yeah, that's

right. If your daddy can’t come to pick you up, then you can play with Archie and Benny instead!” she said with a

nod.

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

“Similarly, 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 they come 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 glad 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...

“Class is starting. I'll be bringing the kids into the classroom now.”

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

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!
