Chapter 708 Looks A Little Guilty

Through the kitchen door, one could see into the living room. Estella looked up and saw Lucian frowning. There was

also a rare look of frustration on his face.

She puffed out her cheeks and fumed inwardly, Needless to say, he must have regretted getting mad at Ms. Jarvis

and me. Hmph! It serves him right for getting angry at us before getting his facts straight!

Even so, after grumbling about it silently, Estella still remembered that she wanted Roxanne to become her mother.

Helping Daddy also means helping myself.

With that thought in mind, she decided to set aside her prejudice and lend Lucian a helping hand. She tugged at the

hem of Roxanne’s shirt gingerly and said in an adorable voice, “Ms. Jarvis, let’s play a game together…”

Estella’s acting skills were top-notch. She wore an aggrieved expression as she spoke, appearing as though she had

yet to recover from how upset she felt when Lucian had wanted to take her home.

Roxanne’s heart could not help softening at how pitiful Estella looked. After hesitating for several seconds, she

finally raised her hand to pat the latter’s head and agreed to a game. “Okay.”

The three children looked at each other with joy in their eyes when they saw Roxanne acquiesce. After promising to

play with them, Roxanne surveyed the ingredients she had prepped. It looks like everything is ready. All that’s left is

to cook up the dishes later this evening.

She double-checked to make sure everything had been prepared, then stood up and followed the children out of

the kitchen. As soon as she walked out, she saw Lucian, who was still standing in the living room.

He was standing next to the coffee table with slightly downcast eyes, staring in the direction of the couch.

Noticing movements from where the others were, he raised his head and looked toward them. When he met

Roxanne’s eyes, something seemed to cross his mind, and his gaze flinched for a split second. Visibly frowning, he

quickly shifted his focus back to the couch.

Roxanne could not help feeling stunned by his behavior. This guy was questioning me in a fury earlier, but as I look

at him now, he looks a little guilty.

Puzzled, she followed his line of sight and saw the bunch of lilies she had left on the couch.

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I can’t shake the feeling that someone seems to have tampered with the

flowers. They look a little messy.

The children were waiting for Roxanne before starting the game, and when they saw that she was lost in thought,

Archie and Benny called out impatiently,

“Mommy!”

Hearing that, she jolted to her senses and shot the children an apologetic smile.

“What are we playing?”

Archie, Benny, and Estella exchanged looks, the wheels in their minds spinning.

After a while, they suggested, “Let’s play Red Light, Green Light.”

Roxanne had no idea what the trio had in mind. She thought they merely wanted to play a game out of boredom,

so she readily agreed.

Benny ran up to Lucian and said innocently, “Mr. Farwell, why don’t you play together with us?”

Roxanne’s brows drew together slightly when she saw that. She was worried that Lucian was still angry and that it

would startle Benny. To her surprise,

Lucian merely frowned for a few seconds, then lifted his head and glanced toward her before agreeing to it in an

indifferent manner. “Sure.”

The twinkle in the children’s eyes grew brighter after both the adults consented to play with them. Estella was the

caller for the first round. She stood at the bottom of the staircase while the starting point for the other four was the

front door of the mansion.

Since the distance between the two points was very near, Roxanne and Lucian had to take smaller steps to

accommodate the children’s strides.
