Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1042

Chapter 1042 I Should Not Be Asking This

Roxanne waited for quite a long time, but no one answered the phone. After that, the call was disconnected. If it were in the past, she would never try calling back.

But this time, since it was about Archie and Benny, she had no choice but to make the call again. It took Roxanne several tries before the other end finally answered the call.

“What is it, Ms. Jarvis?” Lucian’s voice was extremely cold and hostile, a far cry from his usual tone of speech. Roxanne couldn’t help but freeze for a brief moment before she remembered the purpose of her phone call.

“Mr. Farwell, why do you always involve the children in matters between us adults?” With a cold voice, she uttered, “Even though you forced Essie to transfer to another school without considering her condition, I don’t have anything to say about that since she is your daughter. But how can you be so narrow-minded that you would reject Archie and Benny’s visit?”

Lucian raised his brows when he heard Roxanne’s words.

Initially, he thought the reason she called him was to ask about Estella’s condition.

It hadn’t occurred to him that she would call to confront him.

In truth, Lucian had expected both Archie and Benny would come looking for Estella.

Still, he never thought they would come so early to see her.

Realizing that, Lucian’s gaze was filled with mockery. “You’ve used Archie and Benny before, so there’s no guarantee you won’t do it again. I’m just taking precautions, that’s all. Is there a problem with that?”

Roxanne was at a loss for words. She knew Lucian was referring to the previous incident in which Archie and Benny had gone looking for Estella without her knowledge.
