After lunch, Roxanne noticed Lucian seemed to make a phone call. In no time, the mansion’s doorbell rang.

Roxanne opened the door and saw Jonathan standing outside with a smile.

He quickly swept his gaze over her and was relieved to find that she was unhurt. Breaking into a grin, he said, “Dr. Jarvis, I'm here to pick up Lucian. Where is he?” Earlier, Lucian had called Jonathan and asked the latter to pick him up. There were things they had to discuss face-to-face.

Jonathan could more or less guess what Lucian wanted to talk about, so he did not reject the request. Right after hanging up, he rushed over.

As if worried that Roxanne would be suspicious, Jonathan added casually, “It’s about work. We have to talk at the company, and since | was nearby, | dropped by to pick him up.” Roxanne found Jonathan's expression a bit strange, but she did not probe.

After all, Jonathan had said that it was about work, so it should have nothing much to do with her.

Roxanne stepped aside and let Jonathan in. “He's inside. Go on in and call him.” Without hesitation, Jonathan took a step forward to head into the house.

At that moment, Lucian appeared with the three kids trailing behind him.

Upon spotting Jonathan, the tgreeted him in unison. “Hello, Mr. Queen!” Jonathan was delighted to see the kids looking genuinely happy. “Hello, little ones. | cin such a hurry that | forgot to buy you gifts. I'll make it up to you next time, all right?” The kids nodded obediently and turned to Lucian with puppy eyes.

“Mr. Farwell, are you leaving already?” Benny asked, reluctant to part with Lucian.

Lucian stroked Benny's head and told him, “I have sthings to attend to. I'll see you tomorrow.” Archie, Benny, and Estella all looked unwilling to say goodbye just yet.

Although they practically ate with Lucian and Roxanne every day over the past few days, this day was different.

They wished they could just stick to the couple’s side from this day on, but to their disappointment, Lucian was leaving so soon.

Lucian rubbed the children’s heads one by one to make them feel better. Next, he strode toward Roxanne.

Since Jonathan and the kids were there, Roxanne couldn’t help but feel nervous. She had no idea what Lucian was going to do.

Fortunately, Lucian only approached her and told her, “Wait for me. I'll make it clear to you.” As Roxanne took in Lucian’s deep voice, she looked at him in confusion.

However, Lucian had already spun on his heels and walked to Jonathan's side by then. Without pausing, he headed outside.

Jonathan hurriedly bid goodbye to Roxanne and the children. “We'll get going then. See you.” The children waved at him politely.

Turning around, Jonathan swiftly caught up to Lucian.

The two men got into Jonathan's car without even sparing a glance at Lucian’s vehicle.

While Roxanne watched them leave with the kids by her side, questions started to pop up in her mind.

Jonathan had said they were going to the company to talk about work.

Yet before Jonathan came, Lucian never mentioned anything about it.

Aside from that, what Lucian said before he left made Roxanne nervous for sreason.

Make it clear to me? What is he referring to? Is it about Aubree and Frieda’s commotion earlier today, or...

When an idea occurred to Roxanne, she snapped back to her senses. Anticipation began to grow in her heart.
