Chapter 703 On A Date
Just as the children were about to bargain their way out, they heard someone’s footsteps coming from the entrance.
They held their tongues and turned toward the door, only to see Roxanne holding a bouquet of flowers in her hands, looking
puzzled.
“Mommy!” Archie and Benny dashed toward her in excitement, seeing that she had returned.
Roxanne, however, was looking at the man in her living room with a frown on her face. Lucian? What is he doing here?
She glanced at the flowers in her hands and felt somewhat guilty.

Lucian had noticed the flowers as well, and a wave of annoyance washed over him once more. She’s rejected all
my flowers before this. But now, she’s holding a bouquet someone has gifted her. It’s most probably from either
Larry or Jack. What does she take me for?
“Mommy?” Getting no response from Roxanne, Benny tugged at the corner of Roxanne’s shirt. I need Mommy to
convince Daddy to let us eat fried chicken in the future!
Only then did Roxanne regain her senses and glance at Benny. He looks anxious.
Roxanne suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and reached out to ruffle Benny’s hair. “What is it?”
“We had fried chicken for lunch,” Benny said in a piping voice.
Roxanne was slightly baffled when she heard that. Why is he telling me that? When we were abroad, I would always
make lunch for them. But whenever I was busy, I would have no choice but to order takeouts for them. Those

takeouts were mostly fast foods. They should be used to it by now.
Benny noticed her confusion, so he added, “Mr. Farwell said the food isn’t healthy, and we shouldn’t eat too much
of it.”
Hearing that, Roxanne could roughly guess what was on his mind.
Just as she was about to console Benny, she remembered the fact that Estella was with the boys during
lunch. Although Archie and Benny are used to it, Essie may not be. Lucian probably said that to Essie.
Roxanne caressed Benny’s head before raising her own to look in Lucian’s direction.
Lucian was still standing in the same place, while Estella was standing right beside him, looking aggrieved. At that moment, he was
gripping her little hand. When Estella met Roxanne’s gaze, she greeted softly, “Ms. Jarvis…”
She had wanted to dash toward Roxanne along with Archie and Benny. However, Lucian had held onto her hand before she could

do so, and she had no idea why.
Roxanne smiled at Estella before looking up to meet Lucian’s gaze. “Mr. Farwell.”
Lucian was exasperated when he looked at the flowers in her hands. Coldly, he said, “You’re an interesting woman, Ms. Jarvis. How
could you go on a date when your children were here having fast food for lunch?”
Feeling guilty, Roxanne said, “I’m sorry. I forgot Roxanne was here, and I forgot to remind my friend about it. Archie and Benny are
used to eating these when we were abroad. My friend might have—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Lucian interrupted, “Ms. Jarvis, you were busy dating. How could you have remembered
anything?”
