Chapter 819 Abrupt Question After the plain cake was completed, the children hastily spread the cream on it. Each child had their own idea, so Roxanne split the cake into three sections to let them decorate in their own way.

The children clearly thought of the task as something important, for they were cautious as they spread the cream.

Roxanne would glance at the time every once in a while. It was almost time for her to meet Jack, but the children were not done decorating yet.

However, she dared not urge them to hurry when she recalled the unhappy moment earlier. “I'm done!” Estella spoke first.

The two boys followed soon after as they cast a look that told Roxanne they were seeking praises from her.

Roxanne tamped down the urgency she felt and flashed them a smile. She then walked over to the table and glanced at the children’s masterpieces.

The boys’ sides were a mess while Estella’s side was not. Yet, the boys were still gleeful about it.

Roxanne had no choice but to compliment them despite what she actually thought about their work. “You've done it wonderfully, my darlings.” The children beamed. Roxanne sneaked a glance at Lucian, who had been silent, before turning back to the children. “I'll cut the cake now, all right?” The children nodded fervently.

Roxanne cut the cake into six simple slices, then passed them to the children and kept one for herself. After that, she turned to look at the man beside her, who showed no signs of wanting to join them.

“Mr. Farwell,” Roxanne called out to him with a frown. “The cake is done. Come and give it a try.” It was only after hearing her voice did Lucian turn to look at her and walk over.

The children wanted the two adults to try out the slices they had been in charge of, so Roxanne had to cut three small pieces for Lucian and herself.

The children watched them with faces full of anticipation when the adults began digging in.

Roxanne gave them a quick smile before starting with Estella’s piece. After tasting it, she looked at the girl in surprise and exclaimed, “Essie, yours is amazing! It's delicious! Thank you, Essie.” The girl smiled from ear to ear upon hearing Roxanne’s compliment.

Just as Roxanne was about to try the next piece, Estella’s piping voice sounded beside her. “Ms. Jarvis, can | call you Mommy?” The girl seemed thrilled, and she was looking at Roxanne expectantly.

Roxanne froze as she looked at the girl with wide eyes. Then she turned to the man opposite her.

Lucian did not see the girl's question coming either.

Similarly, Archie and Benny were astounded by Estella’s question.

Even though they had been working hard to form a complete family, they could still see that their mother had yet to accept their father.

Mommy must be shocked by Essie’s abrupt question.

Estella continued, “Ms. Jarvis, can you be my mommy? | love Ms. Jarvis the most!” At that, the girl even shyly tugged the hem of Roxanne’s clothes.

Roxanne snapped back to her senses and suppressed the chaotic feelings in her chest. She put down the cake on the table, crouched down, and forced herself to smile at the girl. “You're a sweetheart, right, Essie? It's true that | like you a lot, but that doesn’t mean | can be your mommy.” Estella tilted her head to the side in confusion. “But I like you a lot too, Ms. Jarvis!”
