Chapter 733 Waiting For Her Response
Jonathan smiled meaningfully when he heard his friend’s words. “You can’t come alone. The person my grandpa is
helping is Dr. Jarvis, so you must bring her along.”
Lucian responded with a light chuckle, “I plan on doing that.”
After engaging in small talk for a while longer, the two hung up.
Lucian turned around and went back into the living room.
By then, Roxanne was done making dinner and was sitting at the dining table with the children, waiting for him to
go over and eat together.
A hint of warmth flitted across Lucian’s eyes when he saw the scene before him. He walked over and—upon
noticing the extra plate and cutlery on the table—asked knowingly, “Did you prepare this for me, Ms. Jarvis?”

Roxanne nodded gently in response. “Since I’m troubling you to ferry Archie and Benny to and fro from school for
the next few days, Mr. Farwell, you can have dinner at my place.”
Before Lucian could respond, Estella threw up her hands joyfully. “Thank you, Ms. Jarvis!”
Roxanne smiled, feeling much more relaxed than before, as she watched the young girl’s delight.
Since Estella had replied, Lucian arched his brows but said nothing, merely picking up his fork and eating.
After dinner, the little girl was still reluctant to leave.
Seeing as it was still early, Roxanne and Lucian did not persist and allowed the children to play for a while longer.
After tidying up the dining room, Roxanne left the kitchen to see Lucian sitting on the couch with his brows
furrowed, his slender hands rubbing circles on his temples. It looks like he has a headache.
Thinking of his recent insomnia, she hesitantly stepped forward and said softly, “Let me give you a massage. It’ll
also help your insomnia.”
Lucian withdrew his hand and turned back to look at her before stating, “If you’re doing this because I helped you

today, then forget it.”
He did not want her to be nice to him just to return the favor.
His words brought a frown to Roxanne’s face, and for a moment, she did not know how to reply.
Now that she thought about it, she also could not figure out why she said those words just now.
Yet, seeing Lucian’s slightly haggard face triggered a strange feeling in her heart.
Lucian frowned but kept silent, waiting for her reply.
However, there were no movements behind him.
Just when he was about to shoot her another question, a pair of hands rested on his temples and massaged them
softly.
Lucian’s eyes darkened at her actions, but he still did not utter a word.
With Roxanne’s personality, if she only intended to return the favor, she wouldn’t have given me a massage after
hearing what I had just said. The fact that she’s doing this now shows that she’s not just being nice to me to repay

the favor from the incident earlier day. Well, this is enough for me.
He could not deny that the headache caused by insomnia was greatly relieved under her ministrations.
Lucian even felt a little drowsy.
Feeling sleepiness threatening to overwhelm him, he raised his hand and grabbed her wrist, pulling her hand down.
Roxanne was taken aback by his action.
“As expected of the top traditional medicine doctor. My headache is much better.” Lucian got up from the couch.
“It’s getting late. I should take Estella back. I’ll pick up Archie and Benny in the morning.”
At that, Roxanne nodded somewhat sluggishly and watched as Lucian walked toward the backyard.
Not long after, Estella was led into the mansion by her father before bidding Roxanne farewell obediently.
Roxanne smiled at the little girl and followed them out of the mansion. Only after Lucian’s car had gone a distance
away did she turn around and head back in.
