Chapter 629

At that moment, Lucian approached the group and looked at them quietly. When Archie and Benny saw his arrival,

they shared a look and greeted him after some hesitation. “Good morning, Mr. Farwell.”

Lucian cocked his brows and reached out to pat the boys’ heads. Roxanne had wanted to ignore Lucian’s presence.

But hearing Archie and Benny greet him, she figured it would be an unsightly behavior to continue to pretend not to

see him when Pippa was around.

With that in mind, Roxanne looked at the man and uttered placidly, “Mr. Farwell.”

Lucian turned his head and made eye contact with her. “What a surprise to see you sending Archie and Benny

today when you’ve just recovered, Ms. Jarvis.”

I thought she’d hide from me again after the incident yesterday. That’s why I got Essie to hand the tickets to Archie

and Benny and, in turn, help pass them to her afterward. What a surprise to meet her again that soon, huh?

An odd look crept up Roxanne’s face when she sensed the underlying meaning in the man’s words. Nevertheless,

she tried to stay composed and forced a smile on her face.

“Ms. Jarvis!” Estella suddenly tugged at her shirt sleeve. Perplexed, Roxanne lowered her head to: look at the young

girl.

“Ms. Jarvis, let’s go to a concert together!” Estella invited warmly with an innocent look.

She had entirely thrown the matter to the back of her head, as she was too thrilled to see Roxanne sending Archie

and Benny to school just now.

It was only after seeing Lucian did she remember her task at hand.

Initially, she was supposed to pass the tickets to Archie and Benny according to Lucian’s plan.

However, she was eager to find out about Roxanne’s answer since the latter was right before her.

In contrast to the excited young girl, Roxanne was briefly astounded when she heard those words. Instinctively, she

shot a glance at the man before her.

A concert? That can’t possibly be Essie’s suggestion. I’m sure she must be acting under Lucian’s order. Throughout

the conversation, Lucian had never shifted his eyes away from Roxanne.

When met with her gaze, the man calmly explained, “I happened to get two tickets yesterday. We can bring the kids

along ast well. I wonder if you’re interested in it, Ms. Jarvis?”

It was just as she had expected.

Though her mind was in a whirl, she turned down that invitation readily. “I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I don’t have time

for that.” Then she looked at Estella apologetically. “Essie, if you want to watch it, you can go with your daddy.”

Not expecting Roxanne to reject her so outrightly, the young girl turned to look at Lucian for help.

However, the man stared at her and gestured that there was nothing he could do either and for her to try her best.

Pouting, Estella shifted her gaze back to Roxanne and continued to tug her sleeve pitifully. “I want to watch it with

you, Ms. Jarvis.”

As much as Roxanne could not bring herself to see the young girl’s pitiful appearance, she did not want to get

involved and led by Lucian again.

Regarding those words Lucian had said to her yesterday, she was, in fact, still in puzzlement and disbelief. Yet, even

before she had enough time to gather her wits, he was asking her out to a concert.

Deep down, Roxanne feared that she would grow more attached to the relationship. “Ms. Jarvis, if you aren’t going,

then I won’t be going too.” Estella lowered her head in disappointment.

Looking from above, Roxanne could only see the young girl’s fluffy hair and trembling shoulders.

It was apparent she was silently sobbing with her head lowered.

Roxanne felt her heart ache terribly at that sight. She shot Lucian a look, hoping that he would say something.

Unexpectedly, he stood still, seemingly with no intention of speaking.

Left with no choice, Roxanne could only agree to Estella’s invitation. “Don’t cry,

Essie. I’ll go with you, all right?”
