Chapter 786 He Considered Your Feelings
Since Benny had asked Lucian to join them, there was no reason for Roxanne to refuse. She forced a smile and
said, “You’re just in time, Mr. Farwell. Please join us.”
With that, she walked into the kitchen to take another set of cutleries.
Standing alone in the kitchen, Roxanne couldn’t help but be a little distracted.
Meanwhile, Benny led Lucian to take a seat at the table. However, Roxanne did not come out of the kitchen for
quite some time, leaving Lucian with no cutleries.
Puzzled, the boys urged, “Mommy?”
The children’s voices immediately pulled Roxanne back to reality. She quickly composed herself and walked out.
Everyone at the table turned to look at her in unison.
Lucian’s eyes darkened when he saw Roxanne’s expression.

pretending to be calm.
None of the adults spoke first.
Even the children were suddenly at a loss for what to say. They could only exchange glances and shift their gazes
between Roxanne and Lucian, hoping one of them would break the silence.
Sensing the children’s hopeful gazes, Lucian suppressed his displeasure and said grimly, “I’ve asked Aubree to
move out.”
Everyone was stunned by his words.
Roxanne looked up at Lucian in surprise, her hand holding a fork pausing mid-air.
Lucian did not express his thoughts on the matter during their last conversation about it. Roxanne had thought
Aubree would continue living in his house for some time.
Yet little did she expect Lucian to be so efficient. He had already asked Aubree to move out when he went home to
disinfect the house.
He must’ve taken my advice.
The three children looked at Lucian with eyes that seemed to sparkle with delight.
“Is it true, Daddy?” Estella tugged at Lucian’s shirt sleeve, wanting to confirm what she had just heard.
Lucian nodded, then explained to no one in particular, “It was my mom who wanted Aubree to live in my house. I
never really agreed to it in the first place, and I’ve been wanting to make her leave. It’s just that I never had a valid
reason.”
After that, Lucian looked up at Roxanne and said solemnly, “Essie’s illness this time has given me a perfect excuse
to get rid of her, so I sent her to my mom’s place.”
After listening to Lucian’s explanation, Estella finally believed that the evil woman was gone. “Hooray!” She clapped
excitedly.
Roxanne, on the other hand, had been staring at Lucian the entire time. She knew that his explanation earlier was
meant for her ears. She pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
“Thank you, Ms. Jarvis!” Estella said excitedly, turning around to face Roxanne.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was at that moment that Roxanne returned to her senses. She met Estella’s eyes, feeling utterly confused.
After all, she had little to do with Aubree leaving the Farwell residence. She did not understand why Estella was
thanking her.
“Daddy must’ve taken your advice and chased the evil Ms. Pearson away.” Estella tilted her head and spoke on
behalf of her father.
Taken aback, Roxanne peered at the man in front of her.
Lucian merely raised his brow without admitting or denying Estella’s claims.
From the boys’ point of view, Lucian’s silence meant he agreed with Estella’s words.
They were secretly pleased upon realizing that.
“Daddy made Ms. Pearson leave sooner because he considered your feelings,” said Roxanne.
Lucian’s behavior made Roxanne feel strangely guilty that she sounded as if she was in a daze.
