Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 516

Chapter 516

At the sight of Estella throwing herself into Lucian’s arms, Roxanne stopped awkwardly and held back the two boys running behind her.

“Daddy!” Unaware of the change in Roxanne’s mood, Estella tugged ecstatically at Lucian’s sleeve. “Let’s play hide and seek for a while before going home!”

Lowering his head to gaze at Estella, Lucian then shifted his attention to Roxanne with an indiscernible look in his eyes.

When she met his gaze, Roxanne felt a sudden sense of guilt.

She had just reprimanded the brothers for running wildly with Estella. But now, she was the one doing it instead.

After an awkward silence, Lucian remarked in a deep voice, “It’s getting late. I’ll be taking Essie home now.”

He had barely finished when he turned toward Estella and said, “We have to go now, but we’ll come back again tomorrow.”

Despite puffing her cheeks up to express her unwillingness, Estella recognized that she had had a lot of fun that evening already. After a brief hesitation, she demonstrated her acquiescence by holding her father’s hand.

When she reached the mansion’s door with Lucian, Estella turned around and waved at Roxanne with a reluctant expression. “Bye, Ms. Jarvis. Bye, Archie, Benny.”

Roxanne, too, bid the little girl farewell. “See you tomorrow.”

All of a sudden, Lucian looked down at Estella and surprised everyone with his next words. “Let’s go. We’ll play hide and seek again with Ms. Jarvis tomorrow.”

The mere mention of the game caused Estella to smile so happily that her eyes couldn’t be seen.

As for Roxanne, the sound of Lucian’s voice caused her to blush faintly.

After watching his car disappear into the distance, Roxanne led the boys back into the mansion,

The next evening, she went to school to pick them up just as she promised.

When she arrived at the kindergarten entrance, she saw the three of them standing in front of Pippa Unable to hear the exchange between them, all she could see was Estella bursting into gleeful laughter.
