Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 958

Chapter 958 Entrust Her To You
Roxanne and Lucian packed the tent before putting away all the camping equipment with Archie, Benny, and Estella. Then, they all made the trip back by taking Lucian’s car.
They left Roxanne’s car at the camping site, having hired a garage to tow it away.
When they arrived at Roxanne’s house, Roxanne alighted from the car with Archie and Benny.
Getting out of the car as well, Lucian helped them to retrieve their things from the trunk.
After taking everything, Roxanne bid Lucian and Estella farewell, planning to bring Archie and Benny back into the house.
“Ms. Jarvis…”
Making for a petite figure beside Lucian, Estella reached out and grabbed the hem of Roxanne’s shirt.
After being with Roxanne, Archie, and Benny for a day and a night, she couldn’t bear to part with them just like that.
Her voice melted Roxanne’s heart. Roxanne dipped her eyes and stroked her head.
“Are you hungry, Essie? Come in and have some food.”
As her stomach has been grumbling since she woke up early in the morning, she must be famished now.
Estella’s eyes lit up, and she joyfully leaned close to Roxanne.
Subsequently, Roxanne lifted her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. “Would you like to eat something together, Mr. Farwell?”
Although she didn’t know how to face Lucian, it was undeniable that he had helped them tremendously. Thus, she had no reason to give him the boot.
She initially thought that he would agree readily, considering his temperament.
Unexpectedly, Lucian didn’t reply to her invitation instantly. Instead, his brows knitted together.
After waiting for some time, Roxanne couldn’t help finding it strange.
From his reaction, my invitation seemed to have blindsided him.
“Let’s have breakfast before leaving, Daddy!” Estella seconded in a juvenile voice.
Archie and Benny likewise clamored enthusiastically, “Eat with us, Mr. Farwell!”
Only then did Lucian decline in a deep voice, “No, thanks. I still got some matters to handle.”
I dismissed the meeting yesterday halfway, so I’ve got to go back and finish the meeting. Additionally, I’ve got to spend time ferreting out the culprit who made a move against the kids.
At once, his demurral had the children’s faces fall in disappointment.
Roxanne patted Archie and Benny on their heads in consolation. When her eyes alighted on Estella, she appeared to waver slightly.
What should I do about Essie when Lucian wants to leave immediately?
Just when she planned on offering to drive Estella back later, Lucian’s voice drifted into the air once more.
“Do you mind having Essie stay at your place for two days, Ms. Jarvis?”
Upon hearing that, Roxanne and the three children were all taken aback.
Ever since Lucian took Estella away from Roxanne’s house, Estella never stayed over anymore, either because Roxanne had some concerns or Lucian forbade it.
Several times, Roxanne relented due to Estella’s tears, yet Lucian never did.
For that reason, they never expected the man to voluntarily suggest it this time.
Even Estella couldn’t quite believe her ears. She gingerly tugged on the hem of her father’s shirt.
“Can I really stay at Ms. Jarvis’ house, Daddy?”
Lowering his eyes and meeting her gaze, Lucian nodded impassively.
Thereafter, he raised his eyes to Roxanne, who had yet to gather her wits about her, and elaborated, “I’m not sure whether she had healed completely. I think I’ll rest easier to entrust her to you.”
Still, Roxanne was hesitant to agree to it. “But…”
She feared that the person yesterday meant to target her, and Estella would be dragged into the mess again.
Nevertheless, Lucian interrupted her with a frown, “I’ll send some men to keep an eye on things. If there’s anything unusual, my men will contact me posthaste.”
In other words, he was telling her not to worry.
