His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Why Are You Picking Us Up

Staring at her phone, Roxanne hesitated briefly before putting it away and continuing with her research.

Since she needed more time for work, she was glad that Lucian was able to take the task off her hands.

Meanwhile, the three children were sitting on a bench at the kindergarten field with their bags behind their backs. Used to the fact that Roxanne would run late due to work, the boys sat upright and chatted with Pippa occasionally.

Sitting between the two brothers, Estella started out feeling anxious. However, after a while, she began to be slowly distracted until she cupped her chin with her hands and listened intently to their conversation.

Even when Lucian arrived, none of them noticed his presence.

When he saw the three of them sitting together, Lucian felt his heart warm up. Subconsciously, he quickened his pace and hurried up to them.

“Mr. Farwell,” Pippa greeted when she saw him.Only then did the children look up and reacted with disappointment at the sight of him.

Faced with the drastic change in the children’s expressions, Lucian cocked a brow but didn’t comment. Instead, he informed Pippa, “I’m sorry, I was caught up with work. I’ll be picking Archie and Benny up, too.”

Well aware that the three children were always together the past few days, Pippa didn’t inquire any further. After handing them over to him, she took her leave and went home.

In spite of that, the children continued to sit on the bench without moving.

Lucian stared at them in amusement. “Do you still feel like sitting here for a while?”

Benny shook his head in reflex, for he didn’t want to continue staying there. The air was cold, while the bench was hard. Moreover, his bag was heavy, and he could already hear his stomach growling.

Archie looked at Lucian with a serious expression. “Where’s Mommy? Why are you the one picking us up?”

Estella, too, stared at her daddy and awaited his reply.
