Chapter 1284
Lucian returned from buying some water to see the children laughing and surrounding a smiling Roxanne.
Lucian’s expression softened at the scene.
The children happily waved their hands to beckon Lucian over when they saw him return.
Lucian hurried toward them and handed the drinks he had just bought to each of them as he listened to Roxanne
and the children talk.
“Were you scared just now?” Roxanne suddenly turned to look at him and asked.
The children’s gazes also fell onto him.
Lucian shrugged and raised his eyebrows. “I went parachuting before. That was scarier than the roller coaster.”
Surprise flashed across Roxanne’s eyes upon hearing that.
With Lucian’s personality, I thought he would never do something thrilling like that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtArchie’s and Benny’s eyes lit up in excitement as they enthusiastically grabbed onto the hem of Lucian’s shirt. “Mr.
Farwell, bring us along the next time you go!”
Lucian lowered his gaze and smiled at Archie and Benny. He agreed without any hesitation, “All right. I’ll take you
when you’re of suitable age.”
Upon hearing that, the two boys cheered.
Roxanne felt emotional as she watched Archie and Benny interact with Lucian.
Indeed, the kids need their father.
She had always known Archie and Benny were bold and liked to try different activities.
However, the two had always taken her feelings into account and were afraid that she might be scared, so they had
never voiced these kinds of requests.
Yet they were able to let themselves loose in front of Lucian.
Perhaps they will grow up happier with Lucian around.
Just as she felt her emotions overwhelm her, a small hand tugged on the hem of her blouse.
Roxanne snapped back to her senses and looked down.
Estella was looking up and staring unblinkingly at Roxanne with her big round eyes.
“Essie, what’s wrong?” Roxanne asked as she bent down.
Estella wrapped her arms around Roxanne’s neck endearingly and softly whispered in her ear, “Ms. Jarvis, can I call
you Mommy?”
Her voice was soft and timid because her request had been rejected before.
Upon hearing the question, Roxanne instinctively turned to look at Lucian, who was talking with Archie and Benny.
The three of them did not seem to notice what was happening.
Estella hurried to explain when she saw Roxanne was silent. “I just think that we look like a family! Besides, Ms.
Jarvis, didn’t you already agree to let Daddy pursue you? We’ll definitely be a family in the future!”
Hope and anticipation was written all over her face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRoxanne was touched by Estella’s words.
She had indeed accepted Lucian’s pursuit.
However, she could not be too sure about the future.
If I agree to Essie’s request, I don’t know how I’ll face her if I disappoint her in the future.
Roxanne was hesitant as she pondered over it.
“Ms. Jarvis…” Estella thought she was going to be rejected again. Her eyes grew red, and it looked like she was
about to cry.
Roxanne could not bear to reject the young girl when she heard the latter’s broken voice. Hence, she tried to
persuade Estella to call her a different name. “Your daddy and I…”
She wanted to say they were not married yet but realized that it was easy to cause misunderstandings if she did
say that. Hesitating for a moment, she decided to skip the explanation. “If you really want to call me a different
name, how about you call me Aunt Roxanne?”
Estella pouted. She did not seem too willing to call Roxanne that.
However, when she realized this was Roxanne’s compromise, she could only nod and say, “Okay.”
