Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1256

After lunch, Roxanne noticed Lucian seemed to make a phone call. In no time, the mansion’s doorbell rang.

Roxanne opened the door and saw Jonathan standing outside with a smile.

He quickly swept his gaze over her and was relieved to find that she was unhurt. Breaking into a grin, he said, “Dr. Jarvis, I’m here to pick up Lucian. Where is he?”

Earlier, Lucian had called Jonathan and asked the latter to pick him up. There were things they had to discuss face-to-face.

Jonathan could more or less guess what Lucian wanted to talk about, so he did not reject the request. Right after hanging up, he rushed over.

As if worried that Roxanne would be suspicious, Jonathan added casually, “It’s about work. We have to talk at the company, and since I was nearby, I dropped by to pick him up.”

Roxanne found Jonathan’s expression a bit strange, but she did not probe.

After all, Jonathan had said that it was about work, so it should have nothing much to do with her.

Roxanne stepped aside and let Jonathan in. “He’s inside. Go on in and call him.”

Without hesitation, Jonathan took a step forward to head into the house.

At that moment, Lucian appeared with the three kids trailing behind him.

Upon spotting Jonathan, the trio greeted him in unison. “Hello, Mr. Queen!”

Jonathan was delighted to see the kids looking genuinely happy. “Hello, little ones. I came in such a hurry that I forgot to buy you gifts. I’ll make it up to you next time, all right?”

The kids nodded obediently and turned to Lucian with puppy eyes.

“Mr. Farwell, are you leaving already?” Benny asked, reluctant to part with Lucian.

Lucian stroked Benny’s head and told him, “I have some things to attend to. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
