Chapter 691
Lucian’s gaze darkened slightly at Archie’s reply.
Treating a child? Roxanne could be with either Jack or Larry.
Lucian clung to the last sliver of hope as he asked Archie and Benny, “Do you remember what the man looked like?”
The boys looked at each other. Benny sensibly remained silent and allowed Archie to take the lead.
The elder twin replied somberly, “The man looked very handsome and seemed to be on good terms with Mommy.”
He hoped it would remind Lucian that their mother had many admirers and spur him to step up his courtship.
Sadly, his plan backfired. He did not know Lucian and Roxanne’s relationship had grown tense because of Larry and Jack.
Archie’s reply only added to Lucian’s suspicions of Roxanne’s relationship with the two men.
He thought of asking the boys for more details but decided against it when he noticed their blank expressions. With his brows still knitted, Lucian asked, “How will you go to school later? Do you need me to give you a lift?”
The boys shook their heads. “Mommy already told the school we’re not coming in today.”
Lucian looked to Estella upon hearing the boys’ reply.
The young girl had been upset after learning that Roxanne had left with another man. In fact, she was taking it out on her father by giving him the cold shoulder.
I told Daddy I wanted to see Ms. Jarvis in the morning! Daddy took his sweet time and made us late. Now, Ms. Jarvis has left with someone else!
Estella even began doubting her father’s ability to woo Roxanne and give her the mother she
wanted.
