His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 923

Chapter 923 Pick Me Up

Lucian stared at Roxanne with a grim expression. Even if she did not say it out explicitly, he could tell that she was still being suspicious of him.

Realizing that, Lucian’s expression darkened terribly, while the tone of his voice became colder. “Since you are refusing my offer, Ms. Jarvis, I won’t insist upon it anymore.”

With that, he turned around and left the study. As she watched his retreating figure, Roxanne’s eyes glinted with an unfathomable emotion. Confusion filled her heart at that moment.

Lucian’s words still left her wondering why he had decided to come all the way to see her in the first place.

She wouldn’t believe his claim that he was merely here to provide the medicinal herbs.

However, Lucian did not mention anything else besides that.

Roxanne mulled over it in the study alone, but she could not find an answer to her doubts.

After quite some time, she finally decided to leave the room.

Meanwhile, the children had finished their dinner and were playing in the living room.

“Ms. Jarvis!”

When Estella noticed Roxanne coming out, she came to her side and clung to the latter’s leg, acting coyly.

Roxanne was taken aback by Estella’s action. It was surprising for her to see the little girl still there, which meant Lucian hadn’t left the house yet.

At that thought, she glanced around the living room.

Sure enough, she noticed him sitting on the couch.

He didn’t even bother looking up at her as if he had never heard anything at all.

Frowning slightly, Roxanne lowered her gaze toward Estella as she forced a smile at the little girl while caressing her hair.

Sensing something was amiss, Estella stared at Roxanne’s face incessantly with her bright, doe-like eyes.

Roxanne knew the children were sensitive toward her emotions. In an attempt to avoid their sight, she turned her head, but it was already too late.
