Chapter 918 Let The Matter Drop

That night, Lucian went to the kindergarten to pick Estella up. It was already late by the time he arrived, so Estella

was the only kid left at the kindergarten.

“Daddy,” Estella greeted him aggrievedly after noticing his arrival. He patted her head apologetically. “I’m sorry

that I’m late.” Then, he looked up and nodded at Pippa.

Pippa had waited with Estella the whole night. Now that Lucian had finally shown up, she could rest assured and let

him take the little girl home.

After bringing Estella into the car, Lucian sat idly for some time instead of starting the vehicle. Estella urged him in

puzzlement, “Daddy?” Her voice pulled him back to reality.

He glanced at the little girl through the rearview mirror and saw a bewildered expression spread across her face.

“Have you seen Ms. Jarvis in the past few days?” he asked.

Estella became crestfallen upon listening to his question and shook her head dejectedly.

However, she quickly turned delighted. “Archie and Benny said I’ll be able to meet with Ms. Jarvis tomorrow during

the camping trip!”

If it weren’t because of the fact that she had been looking forward to the weekend camping trip, Estella would’ve

been utterly depressed in the past few days.

She wondered if Roxanne was getting busy with work again because she hadn’t seen the latter for so many days.

Lucian nodded and piped up, “What do you say if I bring you to meet with Ms. Jarvis?”

Estella’s eyes lit up at once. “Really?”

Taking in her expression, he gradually realized what he had just said and couldn’t help but regret his impulsive

suggestion.

After all, he was still mad at Roxanne.

Still, Jonathan’s advice in the morning lingered in his mind the whole time.

I didn’t know anything about this significant incident where her research institute caught fire. I wonder if she’s

injured.

Not noticing the unusual expression on Lucian’s face, Estella urged her father in glee, “Let’s hurry up and go!”

Seeing how excited she was, he knew better than to go back on his words. In the end, he started the car engine

and drove toward Roxanne’s house.

When Roxanne returned home, Lysa had brought Archie and Benny back and was preparing dinner in the kitchen.

“Mommy!”

The kids welcomed her home concernedly when they saw her return.

She beamed at them in exhaustion.

The fire at her research institute had caused her a series of trouble.

She had been staying at the research institute for the past few days to deal with the mess.

Benny sensed his mother’s gloomy appearance lately and couldn’t help but ask, “Mommy, did something happen?”

Roxanne patted his head and comforted him, “It’s nothing. I’m just a little busier with work in the past two days.”

She had yet to inform them about the fire at her research institute to prevent worrying them.

Benny eyed her curiously and probed further in an adorable voice. “Is it something to do with the email address you

asked me to investigate two days ago?”

Hearing that, Roxanne furrowed her brows slightly. She didn’t expect her son to be so perceptive.

The boy knew he had guessed correctly, judging by the changes in his mother’s countenance.

“I’m hungry. Let’s eat.” Roxanne hurriedly switched the topic of conversation before her sons could press the

matter further.

Meanwhile, Lysa had served dinner and called them to have their meal.

Archie and Benny knew Roxanne wouldn’t divulge any more information to them even if they questioned her, so

they let the matter drop.

Realizing their decision not to pursue the matter, Roxanne heaved a sighed of relief and led her kids to the dining

area.
