His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne)

Chapter 218

Chapter 218“Mr. Farwell, is there

anything I can help you with?” Roxanne halted in her tracks and turned around to look at Lucian as if h

e was just a stranger.Upon meeting her gaze, Lucian furrowed his eyebrows.The attitude Roxanne had

now was as distant as the time when

they first got divorced. It was the same attitude that had caused Lucian to perform unexpected acts.Bac

k then, Lucian thought Roxanne would really disappear from his life if he did not attract her attention.

As Lucian did not answer, Roxanne tugged her wrist back with a frown. “If there‘s nothing much, please

let go of me. I still need to go to work.”Both their outstanding looks quickly garnered attention. After all,

not only were they attractive, but the parents of the kindergarten were not ordinary people. Thus, most

of them knew who Lucian was.Many of them had already turned around to look in their direction.Roxan

ne feared it would be too scandalous if they continued to be seen with each other for another second

longer.If that happened, she would soon be facing a lot of trouble.Lucian finally snapped to his senses Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

when he noticed her struggle. While loosening the grip on her hands, he spoke with a complicated expr

ession. “After talking with Estella yesterday, I realized that her speedy

recovery was mostly because of your efforts. Thus, it‘s only right for me to show you my appreciation.”

Not only was that an excuse to ask Roxanne to stay behind, but it was

also something he meant from the bottom of his heart after his experience the day before.At first, Lucia

n thought Roxanne was just someone to cheer Estella up by staying by her side.

Thus, he did not expect Roxanne to bring such a significant impact on Estella.It must have taken Roxa

nne a great deal of effort to make Estella talk again.Upon hearing that, Roxanne replied blandly, “That‘s

all right. You have helped me quite a lot recently. Besides, I‘ve told you that we

don‘t owe each other anything, so there‘s no need for that.”After saying that, Roxanne nodded before

making her way past him

and into the car. “Perhaps, you can see the gesture as I‘m trying to get on your good side,” Lucian sta

rted lowly.Roxanne halted her steps, unsure what he was trying to say.Looking at the woman standing

beside her, Lucian

pursed his lips indifferently. “If I remember correctly, you once said that the children are innocent and sh

ould not get involved in our matters. However, does this only apply

to Archie and Benny?”Upon hearing that, Roxanne turned around and met his gaze. “What do you mea

n?”Lucian raised an eyebrow. “You know that Essie likes you and would feel sad if she doesn‘t see you.

However, you refused to meet her multiple times, knowing that this might cause her condition to worse

n. Isn‘t

Essie innocent in this matter? I don‘t mind if it‘s me you want to avoid, but there‘s no need to do the sa

me thing on her as well.”Roxanne was promptly taken aback when she heard that..Although she had c

onsidered if Estella would feel upset for not seeing her, Roxanne dismissed the thought as she had nev

er seen herself as someone important. Besides, Lucian would definitely take good care of

Estella.Besides, Lucian would

pick up and drop off Estella every day. If Roxanne did not deliberately avoid

them, there was a high chance she would bump into them.“Essie has been sad that she didn‘t get to se

e you. However, as her father, I admit I‘m not on the best terms with you.

Thus, what I can do is treat you to a meal to thank you for taking care of Essie, and also take this oppor

tunity to ask you to spend more time with her.” Lucian‘s tone was polite yet distant, leaving no room for

argument.Although Roxanne did feel guilty toward Estella, she furrowed her eyebrows upon hearing Lu

cian‘s ending statement. “Perhaps you‘re too used to doing business, but let me tell you

that not all matters can be solved with a meal or two. I‘ll head to work now if you have nothing else to s

ay.”
