‘Chapter 704 Lilies Roxanne's expression froze when she heard Lucian mentioning her going on a date again. “You should've told me if you were busy, Ms. Jarvis. | would've come to bring Essie home,” Lucian added.

Hearing his tone, Estella knew he was pissed. “Daddy!” she said anxiously. Lucian's eyes darkened. He looked down at Estella, and only then did he realize how cold he had sounded. | got angry when | saw those flowers. But Roxanne may not think | have the right to be angry.

“rm sorry | couldn't come back earlier to accompany you, Essie.” Roxanne ignored Lucian and cast Estella an apologetic look.

Estella quickly shook her head when she heard Roxanne apologizing to her. “It's all right, Ms. Jarvis. You're back now. Besides, those fried chickens were delicious! | love them!” With that, Estella shot her father a discontented look. Forget that he forbade me from eating delicious food. Now, he even got angry at Ms. Jarvis! I'm not happy with that! Lucian merely frowned and kept mum. He was afraid that he would lose his temper if he were to talk again.

Roxanne knew Estella didn’t want her to put too much blame on herself. She smiled appreciatively and said, “I'll make you something yummy tonight, okay?” Ms. Jarvis is making me dinner! Estella’s eyes lit up, and she nodded excitedly. “Okay!” After that, Roxanne walked into the living room.

Only when she walked past Archie and Benny did they notice the bouquet in her hands. They instinctively turned toward Lucian.

As they expected, Lucian’s expression was as black as thunder.

Although they weren't pleased when Lucian told them to stop eating fried chicken, they chose to side with him because his effort to pursue Roxanne could be jeopardized.

“Mommy!” Archie cautiously tugged at the hem of Roxanne’s clothes.

Roxanne looked down at him in confusion.

Archie glanced at Lucian before pulling Roxanne into the kitchen. He whispered next to her ear, “Did Mr. Damaris give you those flowers?” Roxanne was stunned for a few seconds because she didn’t expect Archie to ask about the flowers. Is he asking this because he thinks I'm going to let Jack become their father? Holding that thought, Roxanne smiled and explained, “It is from Mr. Damaris, but it's not what you think it is. | did him a favor, so he gave me these flowers to express his gratitude.” Archie and Benny weren't convinced. Who gives others flowers to express their gratitude? Noticing the puzzlement on their faces, Roxanne said patiently, “These are lilies. Go on and find out what these flowers symbolize, all right? If you guys want to thank someone in the future, you can give them lilies.” Archie and Benny shared a look and nodded dubiously.

“All right, I'm gonna go tidy things up in the living room. You guys keep Essie company.” Roxanne smiled and ruffled the boys’ hair.

Archie and Benny nodded obediently.

They went out of the kitchen and brought Estella to the room, and the first thing they did was find out what the flowers symbolized.

When they found out that lilies were given to express gratitude, they heaved a sigh of relief
