“Daddy hasn’t eaten either.” Estella’s mouth was stuffed with food as she pointed at Lucian on the couch.
Roxanne stiffened, and mixed feelings rose within her heart.
Upon consideration, she turned and looked at Lucian. “Mr. Farwell, come and join us if you haven’t had breakfast. I think the hotel is pretty far away.”
“Why, thank you, Ms. Jarvis,” Lucian responded to her invitation and got up unhurriedly.
Lysa quickly prepared the cutleries for him and placed them opposite Roxanne.
After having a simple breakfast, they walked out of the house to the car and began their journey.
Roxanne was about to get in her car when she heard Lucian say, “Let’s go in my car.”
Roxanne stopped in her tracks and turned toward Lucian. “It’s okay. I’ll drive there with the children.”
Hearing that, Archie and Benny ran to Roxanne’s side.
Estella hesitated for a moment before turning back to hug Lucian’s thigh.
She wanted to be with Roxanne, but she wanted Lucian to be with Roxanne even more.
If she followed, Roxanne would definitely not take Lucian’s car.
Looking at the sensible Estella, Lucian raised his eyebrows discreetly and patted her head. Then, he said to Roxanne, “I think Essie wants to be with Archie and Benny too.”
Roxanne looked at Estella. Just as she was about to invite Estella to join her, Lucian added, “Besides, the place is a popular resort, and it’s a weekend today. There may not be any parking spots.”
“Ms, Jarvis…” Estella gave Roxanne a pitiful look.
Roxanne’s heari melted, and she agreed.
Well, we have agreed to go together. There’s no need to bother about such details.
Roxanne took the children to Lucian’s car and wondered if she should take the
backseat with the children.
After all, she wasn’t sure if the passenger seat was exclusive to Aubree.
Estella, who was in the car, noticed Roxanne’s intentions and glanced at Lucian. Then, she said to Archie and Benny, “It’s so cramped in here.”
As soon as they heard her, the boys hurriedly scooted to both sides of the car.
Roxanne paused, knowing it wouldn’t be nice of her to squeeze in with the children.
For a moment, the atmosphere was awkward.
Roxanne stood outside the car, glancing at the passenger seat and the expressionless Lucian.
“Ms. Jarvis, come on in,” Estella urged innocently.
Roxanne forced a smile and nodded, then moved to the passenger seat and opened the door. “Can I sit here?”
Lucian looked over, frowning slightly. His voice was cold, and he seemed a little unhappy as he said, “Where else are you going to sit? It’s getting late. If we don’t leave now, I’m afraid there won’t even be any parking space left.”
He knew that Roxanne wanted to avoid him, but he didn’t expect her to resist him to this extent.
There’s only one seat left in the car, and she doesn’t even want to sit next to me.
Lucian felt a burst of anger in his heart.
Roxanne, however, thought he was angry because she was wasting too much time, so she hurriedly got into the passenger seat.
As soon as she fastened her seat belt, he slowly started the car and drove toward the resort.
