Chapter 608
Standing by her bedroom, Lucian wore a solemn expression on his face.
Regardless of how his relationship with Roxanne was now, he had already made a promise to Estella. As a result,
time was of the essence for him to win Roxanne back.
The next morning, Lucian sent Estella to kindergarten early and ran into Lysa by coincidence.
“Essie!” the boys greeted her from afar.
Replying to them with a hum, the beaming Estella shook off her father‘s hand and walked over to join them.
Lucian didn‘t stop her. Instead, he simply reminded, “Slow down.”
Estella nodded in compliance.
Meanwhile, when the brothers noticed Lucian‘s presence after hearing his voice, they raised their heads and gave
him a hesitant look.
Locking gazes with them, Lucian broke into an indiscernible frown as his eyes reflected his complex emotions.

All this while, the boys resented him just as much as their mother did.
Therefore, he wondered if they had noticed Roxanne being infuriated by him the day before.
After all, given how difficult it was to get the boys to change their attitude toward him, Lucian didn‘t want to risk
having it go back to the way it was.
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, the brothers‘ squeaky voices rang out.
“Good morning, Mr. Farwell.”
As Lucian looked in the direction of the voices, he saw Archie and Benny bowing politely at him. By the time they
straightened themselves, their eyes had strayed somewhere else.
At that moment, Lucian was puzzled by their attitude toward him.
When the children were avoiding him previously, it was as though he didn‘t exist.
However, today, the boys greeted him of their own volition.

Logically speaking, their attitude toward him had improved, but their reaction upon greeting him caused Lucian to
doubt his own supposition.
Taking their mother‘s feelings into account, the boys restrained their desire to see their father and chatted with
Estella instead.
On the other end, a strange look was painted all over Lysa‘s face.
The moment she saw Lucian, she was reminded of the roses from the day before and didn‘t know how to react.
Fortunately, the boys greeted him first, giving her enough time to gather her wits. “Mr. Farwell...” she finally
uttered.
Even then, the tone Lysa greeted Lucian with still sounded awkward.
Knitting his brows, he gave her a puzzled look.
He wondered if it was just his imagination but felt as if Lysa still had something to say.
Lysa, who felt her heart skip a beat when she made eye contact, smiled at him as if , nothing had happened. “What
a coincidence to see you drop Essie off at school today.”
Nodding slightly, Lucian could see from her eyes that she seemed to be scrutinizing him.

With her mind filled with images of the roses and her speculation about his relationship with Roxanne, Lysa couldn‘t
hide her uneasiness from his gaze, regardless of how hard she tried.
When her strange expression didn‘t escape Lucian‘s notice, he asked with a raised brow, “Do you have something
to say?”
Wiping the sweat off her hand on her pants, Lysa forced a smile. “No, not at all.”
Even though she had met Lucian plenty of times, this was thie first time she felt the intimidating pressure from his
gaze. Filled with guilt, Lysa was worried that the incident about the roses would slip her tongue.
After giving it some thought, she figured Lucian probably wouldn‘t want an outsider like her to know about this.
Even though Lysa tried her best to maintain her front, Lucian could still guess what was going through her mind, but
he didn‘t comment. Instead, he simply said, “Please take good care of Ms. Jarvis.”
Lysa acknowledged at once.
