Chapter 513 By the time Roxanne came out of the research facility, it was already past seven in the cvening Checking the time, she felt as if she had forgotten something.

In the midst of her trying to recall what it was, she received a call from Lysa, which she picked up with a frown.

“Ms. Jarvis, are you on your way?” Lysa’s voice rang out the moment she answered.

Her words had Roxanne instantly thinking of the boys. She replied at once, “I forgot about them! I'm heading over right away!” Ending the call in a hurry, she sped toward the kindergarten.

Upon her arrival, she was greeted by the closed gate at its entrance. Evidently, the brothers were no longer inside.

Overwhelmed by panic, Roxanne froze momentarily before it occurred to her to give Pippa a call.

“Mr. Farwell has picked Archie and Benny up. Didn't he inform you about it?” Pippa asked curiously.

Lucian picked them up...

Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief. After thanking Pippa, she ended the call with mixed emotions.

While staring at the empty kindergarten, she was filled with guilt and self-blame.

She had grown so used to Lysa collecting the boys that she ended up allowing such an important matter to slip her mind.

Luckily, Lucian was there.

Suddenly, her ringing phone jolted her out of her thoughts.

After getung a grip of herself, she glanced at the caller ID, Seeing Lucian’s name, she figured that it must be about the children.

Hence, she answered without hesitation, “When are you coming back?” When Lucian’s magnetic voice rang out, Roxanne was stunned by his words.

It took her a few seconds to realize he was likely waiting at her house, as they were due to rehearse for the play.

It was just that his words drove her imagination wild, for he made it sound as if they were a family.

Suppressing the turbulent emotions within her, Roxanne plainly replied, “'m on my way. Thanks for picking Archie and Benny up.” After grunting in acknowledgment, Lucian reminded casually, “Be careful while driving. The kids are playing, so there's nothing to worry about.” As another strange sensation crept into her heart, Roxanne mumbled a response before ending the call.

Lucian’s tone just makes it all too easy for me to get carried away with my thoughts.

After lingering at the kindergarten entrance to calm her nerves, Roxanne departed for her mansion.

The moment she stepped into the house, she was greeted by the sight of Lucian working on the couch. The children were nowhere to be seen.

“Ms. Jarvis, what held you up tonight?” Lysa welcomed her with a concerned tone.

Roxanne, in an apologetic tone, explained, “I had wanted to go get them but was delayed by work.” After acknowledging her answer, Lysa threw Lucian a glance and added, “Luckily, they didn’t have to wait as Mr. Farwell sent them home.” Just as Roxanne trailed Lysa’s gaze, she saw Lucian wrapping up his work and approaching them after keeping his phone.

“Thank you.” As Lucian came up to her, Roxanne averted her gaze and thanked him softly Lucian, with a cursory nod, suggested in his deep voice, “Since you're back, you should have your dinner first as the children have been complaining about being hungry. Even though Lysa has already prepared dinner, they still insisted on waiting for you” Roxanne’s heart melted as she pursed her lips and nodded.

In response to her agreement, Lucian turned around and headed to the backyard.

Roxanne followed him, knowing that the children were likely there.
