Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 818

Chapter 818 Half An Hour

The children knew there was nothing else they could do to dissuade Roxanne when they saw how adamant she was about going. Their faces were filled with disappointment.

Roxanne felt sorry for the children as she took note of their crestfallen expressions, but she knew she could not do much. She merely patted their heads and said, “When it’s done, just leave some for me so that I can taste your handiwork.”

She barely took two steps when she heard the man’s voice.

“Since you need to go, Ms. Jarvis, maybe we’ll bake this cake some other day.”

Hearing what he said, Roxanne stopped walking and turned around to look at the man in confusion.

Nonchalantly, Lucian continued, “The children have hoped that we can finish this little project with them. But since you must leave, it’ll mean nothing if I stayed behind to help them.”

Lucian then glanced at the children, who looked increasingly disappointed.

Roxanne could not tell if she was imagining things, but it seemed as if the children were looking at her with resentment in their eyes.

Their expressions seemed to ask why she chose to cast them aside when they were the ones who made plans with her first.
