Chapter 919 Injured In The Fire
The four were having dinner when the doorbell suddenly rang. Lysa went to answer the door.
“Hello, Ms. Lane!” a child greeted politely at the mansion’s door. Then, Lysa was heard saying, “Ms. Jarvis, Mr. Farwell and Essie are here.”
Hearing that, Roxanne’s hand froze in mid-air. She was at a loss for words at that moment.
Ever since what happened the other night, she and Lucian had never seen each other. She had no idea why he would come to her place out of the blue.
She also did not know how to face him. Just when she was hesitating to invite him and Estella inside, Archie and Benny were already welcoming them excitedly.
“Essie, come on in. Have you eaten dinner? If not, you can join us!”
Naturally, Estella did not decline their invitation. Soon, she followed Archie and Benny into the dining room.
The adults, Lucian and Roxanne, remained silent throughout the process. The kids were the ones making the decision instead. “Ms. Jarvis!” Upon seeing Roxanne, Estella immediately snuggled up to her.
Archie and Benny were used to that and quickly emptied the seat next to Roxanne. Estella smiled sweetly at Archie and Benny before taking her seat next to Roxanne.
“Mr. Farwell, come and join us!” Benny looked at the man standing in the living room.
Hearing that, Roxanne tensed up a little and felt somewhat uneasy. If Lucian were to sit across from her, she was worried she could not eat dinner in peace.
Then, she heard Lucian’s low voice ring out from behind her, saying, “It’s okay. You guys go ahead with Essie.”
With that, Lucian glanced at Roxanne’s back with his dark gaze before sitting on the couch expressionlessly.
