Even when the table had been set up, neither of them said a word.
As for the three children, who were already seated at the table, the sight of their parents busying themselves brought glee to their faces.
The delight they exuded gradually softened Roxanne’s heart.
Even though Roxanne had calmed down after dinner, the results of the investigations from the afternoon were still on her mind. “Mr. Farwell, are you ready to talk about it?”
Filled with curiosity, the children inquired with their childish voices, “Talk about what?”
Roxanne flashed a smile at them. “It relates to the research institute and has nothing to do with you. Go out and play now.”
In response, the children looked toward Lucian for verification.
The latter affirmed in a serious tone, “Go on now.”
Only then did they slowly make their way out of the mansion.
Both of them settled down on the couch with coffee by their respective sides.
“How is the investigation coming along? Is there any progress?” With her brows slightly knitted, Roxanne was filled with concern. “Is it related to Mr. Damaris…”
Refusing to believe that Jack was capable of something like that, she was anxious for an answer.
However, her mention of Jack caused Lucian’s eyes to narrow.
He still couldn’t shake the scene from the surveillance cameras of her happily chatting with Jack.
Even now, she’s still worried about him.
Lucian felt an uncontrollable fit of rage welling up inside him.
