Chapter 1854 Leverage

“You're not the only one who negotiated a project tonight. I, too, have agreed to an excellent business proposal,” Lucian announced with a smile.

Roxanne froze. He did not take one step out of the house. Who did he discuss business with?

Her curiosity grew when she took in his secretive demeanor. What investment could have made him this happy?

It took some probing before Lucian finally decided to share the news.

“I'm investing in our talented designer, of course! Essie asked me to start a company for her. She wants to gain a foothold in the children's apparel market.”

Roxanne was stunned. “Are you sure? Aren't you afraid of making a loss? Essie is indeed talented, but this decision may be too hastily made. What happens if she makes you suffer a loss? I don't want her to be under any pressure.”

Lucian gazed at her steadily.

At last, Roxanne admitted to herself after further thought that she had indeed thought too much.

Given Farwell Group's wealth, it would not make the slightest dent even if Estella bankrupted one company a day for ten years.

“Don't worry. Estella has plenty of time to try new designs. If she can't manage, we'll hire local designers to work with her. Our child's dream is what's important.”

Although Lucian could afford to make losses, he was strangely confident in his daughter's designs.

“My dear, the father of my children, you're spoiling them too much.”

Lucian was momentarily taken aback by his new moniker. He found it interesting.

Immediately, he pulled her into an embrace. “We got married today, the mother of my children. Does that mean...”

Roxanne's cheeks flushed crimson. She became unusually silent.

Taking her silence as consent, Lucian swept her off her feet and carried her into the bedroom.
