NovelEnglishChapter 525 Chloe, who was holding onto Cassandra's hand, suddenly saw that Archie and Benny were eating something. She asked curiously, “Archie, Benny, what are you two eating?” “Candy.” Archie and Benny opened their mouths to show her.
After that, they touched their pockets and looked at Chloe apologetically. “We've finished ours. Otherwise, we could have shared two with you.” The disappointment was written all over Chloe’s face when she heard that.
Roxanne’s heart softened when she saw how sad Chloe looked. She remembered the candies inside Estella’s pocket and called out to Estella, “Essie, can you give two candies to Chloe?” Estella turned at the sound of Roxanne’s voice and nodded, trying to take a few candies from her pocket.

Lucian did not seem to notice Estella’s movements at all as he continued moving forward.
Chloe looked at Estella pitifully. After she waited a long time for the candy and couldn’t see any, her face fell even more.
Roxanne was in a dilemma.
If I called out to Lucian, he'd definitely give Chloe the candy, but we would look too intimate in front of Ms. Clark. But poor Chloe...
Upon deliberation, Roxanne called out to the man in front of her, “Mr. Farwell, could you help Essie with the candies?” Hearing that, Lucian stopped in his tracks.
Everyone behind him became nervous all of a sudden.
A few seconds later, Lucian had a few colorful candies in his hand. He walked toward Chloe and asked the latter to open her palm.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucian’s aura frightened Chloe, Chloe tried to stretch out her hands a few times, but she didn’t dare to. Yet, her eyes were filled with longing for the candies.
Naturally, Cassandra was embarrassed to take the candies straight from Lucian’s hands.
At that moment, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Roxanne noticed the awkwardness in the air. After a short moment of hesitation, she walked toward Lucian and took the candies from his hand. Then she squatted down and took Chloe’s hand. “Here are some candies for you, Little Red Riding Hood,” she said softly.
Chloe's eyes gradually lit up. “Thank you, Ms. Jarvis!” Roxanne smiled. Afterward, she turned sideways to remind Chloe, “Don’t forget to thank Mr. Farwell too. He's the one who gave you the candies.” Looking at Lucian, Chloe became timid again. She mumbled, “Thank you, Mr. Farwell.” Lucian nodded slightly in response, then glanced at Roxanne, who was still squatting down with a meaningful look before turning around and walking forward.
Seeing that Lucian had walked some distance away from them, Cassandra asked cautiously, “Ms. Jarvis, are you close to Mr.
Farwell?” Roxanne was taken aback when she heard that. She tried to stay calm as she explained, “Essie gets along well with my boys, so | interact with Mr. Farwell more than you guys. That's probably why we look a little close.” Cassandra nodded understandingly with a smile. “Mr. Farwell and Estella have never participated in events like these, not to mention performing in fancy costumes, because of Estella. Thanks to you, Archie, and Benny, or we may not have had the chance to be blessed with such a wonderful sight.” Indeed. Ever since Archie and Benny appeared, Estella had started accepting group activities and playing with other kids.
Roxanne’s heart softened when she thought of Estella, and she didn’t deny what Cassandra said.
