Estella hugged her and refused to let go.
Thus, Roxanne explained resignedly, “Your daddy and I haven't eaten yet. We'll keep you company after our meals, all right?”
Upon hearing that, the girl finally released Roxanne and stared intently at her.
Roxanne smiled, patted her head, and turned to Lucian. “Come on in, Mr. Farwell. I'll prepare some food.”
The look in Lucian's eyes darkened before he ambled into the living room. It's been a long time since I was invited by her. This feels pretty good.
The children were relieved to see the relationship between the two adults improved after Roxanne left the hospital.
As Lucian sat on the couch, he watched the children play with each other.
Inside the kitchen, Roxanne was preparing the food nonchalantly.
As a result of all that, the atmosphere in the mansion became surprisingly heartwarming.
Not long after, Roxanne exited the kitchen with two sandwiches and a glass of hot milk before putting them in front of Lucian. “It's nearly time for lunch, so just eat these first to hold on until then.”
He nodded.
Just as she was about to sit next to him, her phone rang again on the coffee table.
They both lowered their heads and saw Jack's name on the screen.
While Lucian frowned, Roxanne wanted to answer the phone because she knew Jack was simply worried about her.
