His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne)

Chapter 195

Chapter 195 It was not even eight o‘clock when they came out of the hospital.Roxanne stretched her

stiff body lazily. She was so glad to be breathing some fresh air again after being confined to bed for

one day and two nights.Archie and Benny trailed closely behind her just in case anything else

happened to their mother.“Ms. Jarvis, why don‘t you head home first to get some rest? Maybe just take

the morning off?” Lysa tried her utmost to convince Roxanne not to dive into work right away. The latter

grinned and assured her, “I‘m perfectly fine, so don‘t worry about me. After the surgery I did the day This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

before yesterday, I rushed to the kindergarten in my sweaty clothes because I didn‘t have the time to

get changed. Most likely, I caught a cold then, which developed into a fever. I promise to be more

careful next time.”Subsequently, she bent down and tousled the children‘s hair. “I need to finish up my

work at the research institute. Can Ms. Lane take you to your kindergarten today? I‘ll inform Ms. Ward

that you‘ll be late.”The children looked at her with concern.If possible, they wished that Roxanne could

take a break and rest.However, they were well aware that their mother was a workaholic who would not

delay her work.They struggled with it a little before nodding reluctantly.Roxanne turned to Lysa and

said, “I‘ll leave you to bring the kids to the kindergarten, but I‘ll inform Ms. Ward accordingly.”Lysa

agreed.Then, Roxanne approached Lucian, who was already waiting by the main entrance. “I just

wanted to thank you for last night. I took care of Essie last time, and with you returning the favor now,

we no longer owe each other anything,” she said in a calm manner.Despite the unfazed look on his

face, his emotions were anything but that.Moments later, he broke the silence with a laconic reply.

“Sure.” His thoughts were unfathomable.Right when Roxanne was about to turn and leave, a little hand

grabbed her by the hem of her dress. “Ms. Jarvis!” Estella could not comprehend the words Roxanne

said to Lucian. She was completely baffled about who owed what and to whom. It all sounded like a

strange, foreign language to her, so she hurried over and grabbed Roxanne‘s dress.The woman halted

her steps and turned to the little girl. “What‘s wrong, Essie?”“I like Ms. Jarvis.” Tears glistened in

Estella‘s eyes as she pouted unhappily, feeling rather aggrievedHer sad face caused Roxanne‘s heart

to soften. She quickly gave the little girl a tight hug and comforted her, “I like you too, Essie. Thanks for

coming to visit me.”Her warm embrace magically made Estella feel slightly better.Despite that, she was

still reluctant to part as she stared at Roxanne‘s retreating back.Roxanne walked Lysa and the boys to

the junction to hail a cab.Lysa had taken a cab to the hospital in the morning, whereas Roxanne had

been driven there by Lucian last night. Hence, they were without their own transport.Unfortunately, they

could not escape the madness of rush hour. Not one vacant cab came by even after they had waited

for a while.While Roxanne was debating if she should trouble Colby to make a trip to the hospital and

fetch her, Lucian‘s voice rang out beside her.“It‘s hard to get a cab at this hour. Let me drive all of you

to where you need to be.”Roxanne was startled by his sudden appearance. I thought he has left

already. Why is he still here?She turned around and was met by Estella‘s puppy dog eyes, seemingly

waiting for her to accept the offer. It was then she understood.Although she had a soft spot for the little

girl, she did not want to have anything to do with that man anymore. With a frown, she rejected him

once more. “It‘s okay. I‘ve troubled you enough recently, Mr. Farwell. I‘m sure that you need to get to

the office as soon as possible, so please go ahead, and don‘t worry about us. We will manage on our

own.”The instant she ended her sentence, she saw Lucian knit his brows, looking annoyed.Did I say

anything that upset him? Puzzled, Roxanne dared not speak further.
