Chapter 534
Early in the morning that weekend, Roxanne had just woken up when she heard a knock at the door.
She didn’t think much about it and thought it was Archie and Benny who had come to wake her up. She rubbed her
eyes and let them in.
Unexpectedly, when the door opened, she saw the three of them, Estella and the boys, standing at the door. Estella
was wearing a pink skirt and carrying a small bag, looking particularly adorable.
Roxanne was caught off guard when she saw her. She thought she was hallucinating because she didn’t sleep well
the night before.
The night before this, Roxanne had been brooding over the fact that she was about to go on the hot spring vacation
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwith Lucian. She didn’t even know when she finally fell asleep.
Although she had fallen asleep, she didn’t sleep well and felt as if she was constantly in a dream.
Her mind was still a little hazy at that moment.
“Ms. Jarvis!” Estella greeted her from the door in her piping voice.
Roxanne finally returned to her senses and confirmed that Estella was indeed standing in front of her.
“Essie…” Roxanne got off the bed, walked toward Estella, and instinctively looked around the room. Lucian was
nowhere to be seen. “Why are you here? Where’s your daddy?”
Estella pointed downstairs. “He’s waiting downstairs!”
Roxanne’s face turned a little red.
They had agreed to go to the hot springs together, yet she had only just woken up when Lucian had already arrived.
Given anyone else, they would definitely feel embarrassed about it.
Archie and Benny explained, “We heard a knock on the door and saw Essie, so we brought her up!”
As for Lucian, the boys had ignored him, knowing that he would follow them in by himself.
Roxanne patted their heads and said, “Okay. Go wait downstairs. Mommy will be ready in a bit.”
The children nodded obediently, turned around, and went downstairs.
Watching them disappear down the corner of the stairs, Roxanne hit herself in the head in frustration and quickly
got up to clean herself up.
Lysa had already prepared breakfast, and the children were already sitting obediently at the table when Roxanne
finally got ready and walked down the stairs.
Roxanne looked around for Lucian, only to see him lounging on the couch in a casual coat, lost in his thoughts. He
casually looked up when he heard her walking down the stairs.
When their eyes met, Roxanne panicked.
Just as she was about to retract her gaze, Lucian said, “Ms. Jarvis, did you not sleep well last night?”
Hearing that, Roxanne instinctively touched the dark circles under her eyes.

it up. Did I not cover it nicely?
In a gentle voice, Lucian added, “It’s almost eight o’clock.”
Her hand that was under her eye froze. Suppressing her embarrassment, she responded apologetically, “Sorry to
keep you guys waiting.”
Looking at how the woman was behaving, Lucian realized that she didn’t sleep well last night and didn’t say
anything further.
Only when Roxanne finally walked down to the living room, sat by the dining table, and didn’t hear a word from
Lucian did she breathe a sigh of relief.
The children began to pile food on her plate the moment she sat down.
Seeing that Estella was eating with them, Roxanne asked with concern, “Essie, did you not eat in the morning?”
Estella nodded meekly.
She had been so excited to see Roxanne that she had urged Lucian to rush over as soon as she had gotten out of
bed.
