Chapter 834 Easy To Please The sky was about to turn dark when Roxanne left the research institute. On the way home, her chest tightened as she thought that Lucian was still lounging around at her place.

However, she returned to find only the three children sitting on the couch and staring at the computer screen.

Roxanne scanned the living area, but the man was nowhere to be seen.

“Mommy!” the boys greeted her as soon as they realized she had chome. Roxanne caressed their tiny heads while asking, “Where's Mr. Farwell?” “He left a long tago, but we asked him to let Essie stay so that we could wait for you to cback together,” Benny explained in his squeaky voice.

The woman smiled when she heard that. Then her gaze fell on the little girl standing behind the two boys.

Unlike her usual peppy demeanor, Essie now stood timidly behind Archie and Benny, not even saying hello.

Clearly, she was still bothered by what had happened earlier that day.

Realizing this, Roxanne knelt down and stared straight into the girl's eyes. “I'm sorry, Essie. | didn’t mean what | said earlier this morning. | just wanted to say that—" Having been consoled all day, Estella had already thought of forgiving her.

Even so, seeing the woman in person now made her slightly upset.

“But why did you leave, Ms. Jarvis?” the girl asked slowly while blinking.

She had already figured it out; Roxanne didn’t want to be her mother because she still couldn't accept Lucian.

However, she didn’t understand why the woman had driven off despite knowing that she was upset.

Why didn’t she stay and talk toinstead? She was the first one to clooking forthe last time, but she just leftlike that this morning.

The difference was too much for her to handle.

“I'm sorry,” Roxanne replied apologetically. “I really had something important to take care of this morning. | won't make you upset ever again, so will you forgive me?” Estella merely stared at her.

“Ill be right by your side whenever you need me,” the woman promised solemnly.

The girl's eyes finally lit up, and she leaped into Roxanne’s arms.

The woman felt her heart melt as she watched Estella return to her usual cheeriness.

She had thought the little girl wouldn't forgive her, but it turned out she was so easy to please.

Suddenly, Roxanne felt something warm on her cheek for a split second.

She turned to the girl in surprise.

Estella beamed with delight at having secretly given the woman a peck.

A warm sensation spread across Roxanne’s heart when she saw Estella’s expression. Unable to help herself, she responded by kissing the child's cheek too.

The little girl was instantly filled with shock, having not expected to be kissed.

Then, joy overtook her as soon as realization dawned on her.

“Mommy! Why did you only kiss Essie? We're going to be mad!” Archie and Benny exclaimed jokingly when they saw Roxanne and Estella make up.

Roxanne burst into laughter before turning to give the boys each a peck on the cheek, bringing wide smiles to their faces.

After that, she stroked Estella’s head. “Did your daddy say what the'd be coming to pick you up?” Estella shook her head upon recalling that Lucian had never mentioned when he would cand get her.

Lucian had only told her to be a good girl and stay with the two boys before leaving abruptly.
