Archie and Benny watched silently and enviously from behind.
They also wanted to wear matching outfits with their parents. However, they weren't as bold as their younger sister. Knowing that Lucian was their father, they tended to act more reserved in front of him.
Roxanne looked at the happy smile on Estella's face, and her concern reduced greatly. She patted the girl's head and said, “The dress really suits you, Essie. Let's take it off now so the employee can bag them.”
Estella shook her head without hesitation and grabbed Roxanne's hand tightly.
She did not want to take off the dress that quickly when it was rare for her to wear the same clothes as Roxanne.
Roxanne could guess what the girl was thinking. Well, since we're already wearing these matching outfits, I don't think there is any difference if we wear them for a little longer. She went along with Estella's idea and asked the employee to bag the clothes they were originally wearing.
After following the employee to the cash register, she was about to pay for the dresses with her phone when Lucian pulled out his card and gave it to the employee.
Roxanne was slightly stunned, as she thought the action seemed a little too intimate. With a frown, she said, “I can pay for it.”
Lucian looked at her, then at Estella and said, “You didn't need to buy any clothes, Ms. Jarvis. You're only doing so now because of Essie. So I should be the one to pay for it.”
When the employee at the side sensed the ambiguous atmosphere between the two and saw Lucian's black card, she chimed in, “There's no need for you to be so courteous with this gentleman, Miss. After all, a man should pay for a woman.”
Then she grabbed the card in Lucian's hand.
