Chapter 1286
They got in the car after walking out of the restaurant. Lucian sat idly in the car for some time without starting the
engine.
Roxanne gave him a puzzled look.
The moment she raised her head to look at him, she made eye contact with him.
Roxanne was momentarily stunned. For some strange reason, she felt slightly nervous.
After a moment, disappointment showed on Lucian’s face. “If only it’s pouring rain right now.”
His words took Roxanne by surprise.
The children looked at Lucian curiously. “But we won’t be able to go home if there’s a rainstorm!”
Lucian smiled in response. He didn’t say anything else and started the car.
The kids were still perplexed because their father didn’t give them a response.

In other words, he was telling her that he didn’t want to go home that night.
Her face flushed crimson, and she didn’t dare to look at him. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back now. The kids must be
tired.”
The children blinked in confusion upon hearing Roxanne’s words. They could feel that the adults were insinuating
something they couldn’t understand. Nevertheless, they didn’t say anything.
On the way home, Roxanne couldn’t fathom if Lucian was deliberately driving slowly in an effort to put the kids to
sleep.
Roxanne lowered her head and stared into space blankly as she was also slightly tired.
By the time she snapped back to reality, they had arrived at her house.
Roxanne turned back to wake Archie and Benny so that they could get out of the car.
“Aunt Roxanne.”
Estella would be going home with Lucian now, so she was slightly reluctant to part with Roxanne.
Roxanne gave her head a reassuring pat and uttered, “You have stayed here for a long period. It’s time to go
home.”
Estella was still a little unwilling.
At the thought of something, Roxanne looked at Lucian hesitantly.
Before she could say anything, Lucian’s voice rang out. “I have let Cayden handle the transfer procedures for Essie.
She will return to her previous kindergarten from next week onward.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up when they heard his words.
Archie and Benny hugged Estella excitedly. “That’s amazing! We can go to the kindergarten together again!”
A smile spread across Estella’s face too.
Roxanne felt as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. She smiled at Estella and said, “You can meet Archie
and Benny in the kindergarten from now on. If you want to, you can come here occasionally and live with me for a

The delight of transferring kindergartens replaced Estella’s reluctance of leaving Roxanne. She nodded her head
obediently after hearing Roxanne’s words. “Then, you have to go fetch Archie and Benny from the kindergarten,
Aunt Roxanne!”
Roxanne assented with a laugh.
Lucian started the car engine.
“Bye, Mr. Farwell.” The two boys waved at him.
Lucian nodded and turned to look at Roxanne, waiting for her to say something.
Roxanne still felt shy because of what he had said earlier.
Meeting his eyes and with a blush, she mumbled, “Goodbye.”
Lucian lifted his brow. He was obviously displeased.
Roxanne frowned in embarrassment and hesitated for a moment before saying, “See you on Monday.”
If she wasn’t mistaken, they would have to meet as they would be picking up their kids on Monday.
Lucian smiled in satisfaction. “See you on Monday.”
With that, he hit the gas and drove toward the Farwell residence.
Only after Lucian had driven far away did Roxanne turn around and return to the mansion with Archie and Benny.
