Chapter 628
Early the following day, after freshening herself up, Roxanne got out of the bedroom and saw Archie and Benny waiting at the
door.
“Mommy!” The boys’ eyes lit up in excitement. They were in anticipation of Roxanne sending them to school, as it had been a
while since she last did so.
Thinking about Archie and Benny’s conversation last night, Roxanne felt her heart soften. She lowered her gaze and patted their
heads. “Hurry and head downstairs for breakfast. I’ll send you boys to school later.”
The two nodded their heads vigorously. During breakfast, the boys were especially obedient. When they finished breakfast,
Roxanne changed into another outfit and sent the boys to kindergarten.
Arriving outside the kindergarten, Roxanne spotted many children with their parents at one glance. There are indeed many
parents who send their kids to school.
She recalled that she had asked the boys to follow Lysa because she had wanted to avoid Lucian some time ago. Archie and
Benny must’ve been upset then. With that thought in mind, Roxanne looked apologetic.
“Ms. Jarvis.” Pippa exchanged some pleasantries with Roxanne upon seeing her send the boys to school. “It’s been a long time.
| heard from Archie and Benny that you hurt your foot. How is it now?”
Playvolume00:00/00:00TruvidfullScreen Roxanne put on a smile. “Thank you for your concern, Ms. Ward. I’m almost completely
healed.”
While the two women were engrossed in the conversation, Archie and Benny held Roxanne’s hand tightly as they glanced
around their surroundings in search of Estella.
Essie was looking forward to seeing Mommy come to fetch us yesterday. If Essie gets to see Mommy today, she’ll surely be
overjoyed.
Nonetheless, there was still no sign of her after they searched high and low for a long time.
At that moment, Roxanne noticed the boys’ actions. Realization dawned on her that she might run into Lucian and Estella if she
stayed any longer.
It’s fine meeting Essie. But how am | supposed to face Lucian after yesterday’s matter?
That made her want to stop talking and leave the venue immediately. But before she managed to say anything, she felt Archie
and Benny tighten their grip on her hands. Roxanne’s heart leaped to her throat, and she almost couldn’t bring herself to turn her
head around..
“Ms. Jarvis!” Not too far away, Lucian’s car had stealthily stopped by the roadside.
The moment the car door opened, Estella hastily jumped out from the passenger seat and ran toward Roxanne without carrying
her bag.
Archie and Benny tugged Roxanne’s hands and exclaimed, “Mommy! Essie is here!”
Hearing the boys’ voices, Roxanne, unable to act unconcerned about the situation any longer, whipped her head around and
looked toward Estella.
Coming into her vision was the young girl with excitement written all across her face. Behind, Lucian, with a small school bag in
his hand, was strolling over while staring at Roxanne inquisitively.
When the two pairs of eyes met, Roxanne blinked and retracted her gaze hastily.
At this point, Estella had already run up to her and hugged her leg tight. “Ms. Jarvis, your feet…” A look of worry washed over the
young girl’s face.
Nonetheless, Roxanne’s attention was on Lucian, as she could sense that the man was looking at her even from a distance
away.
Truthfully, she was slightly distracted that even the smile on her face looked forced when Estella showered her with concern. “I’m
feeling much better now. You don’t have to worry, Essic.”
Despite so, the young girl’s gaze remained fixated on Roxanne’s feet. Knowing that Estella was worried about her, Roxanne tried
to squeeze out a smile and turn one round in a relaxed manner. “Look, Essie. | don’t feel any pain at all.”
Only then did the young girl feel at ease and lift her head to flash Roxanne a sweet smile.
