Chapter 691 Who Is She With
Lucian’s gaze darkened slightly at Archie’s reply. Treating a child? Roxanne could be with either Jack or Larry. Lucian clung to the last sliver of hope as he asked Archie and Benny, “Do you remember what the man looked like?”
The boys looked at each other. Benny sensibly remained silent and allowed Archie to take the lead. The elder twin replied somberly, “The man looked very handsome and seemed to be on good terms with Mommy.”
He hoped it would remind Lucian that their mother had many admirers and spur him to step up his courtship. Sadly, his plan backfired. He did not know Lucian and Roxanne’s relationship had grown tense because of Larry and Jack.
Archie’s reply only added to Lucian’s suspicions of Roxanne’s relationship with the two men.
He thought of asking the boys for more details but decided against it when he noticed their blank expressions. With his brows still knitted, Lucian asked, “How will you go to school later? Do you need me to give you a lift?”
The boys shook their heads. “Mommy already told the school we’re not coming in today.”
Lucian looked to Estella upon hearing the boys’ reply.
The young girl had been upset after learning that Roxanne had left with another man. In fact, she was taking it out on her father by giving him the cold shoulder.
I told Daddy I wanted to see Ms. Jarvis in the morning! Daddy took his sweet time and made us late. Now, Ms. Jarvis has left with someone else!
Estella even began doubting her father’s ability to woo Roxanne and give her the mother she wanted.
Lucian sensed his daughter’s discontent and massaged his temples in frustration. Then, he asked Archie and Benny, “Can I leave Essie with you two? I have to get to work, so I won’t take a detour to her kindergarten. Do you promise to take care of yourselves?”
The boys immediately jumped at the opportunity to spend time with their sister. “Of course! We’ll take good care of Essie!”
Lucian turned to Estella next, relieved to notice the hint of a smile curving her mouth.

GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
Wish there was more to the story, like how the triplets end up and if the twins are as smart as their older siblings. Beautiful story 😊...
Very best book out there, full of surprises and true love. Recommend to all....
