Chapter 883 Distant

Upon reaching home, Roxanne stood unmoving at the mansion’s entrance. She recomposed her expression before

opening the door to enter.

The kids saw her and shuffled closer to her, asking with concern, “Mommy, has Essie gone back?”

Roxanne glanced at the anxious children with her brows furrowed as she was unsure of how to respond to their

questions.

After all, it was just her assumption that Lucian had brought Estella back to his home.

Archie and Benny knew her well. Seeing the hesitation on Roxanne’s face, they guessed that she must have gotten

rebuffed again.

“Don’t worry, Mommy. Essie will be fine.”

Archie tried to tamp down his anxiety by acting maturely. He comforted, “Mr. Farwell will surely give you a call if

something happens to Essie.”

Roxanne’s eyelashes quivered as she heard those words from him. Yes, he’s right. I might resent Lucian. However,

he would always contact me for matters involving Essie. I shouldn’t be too worried this time but wait for his call

patiently.

On second thought, Roxanne recalled the way Catalina had stuttered a while ago. With that, she could not help

feeling anxious once again.

My actions yesterday might have provoked him, and I’m unsure whether he will still contact me after this. It’s not a

good idea to keep waiting like this.

Roxanne was exasperated thinking about Estella.

Meanwhile, Archie and Benny could see how troubled Roxanne was. However, they were at a loss for how to help

her,

Thinking of Estella, they felt perturbed too.

A heavy silence ensued in the living room.

It was at that moment that Roxanne’s phone rang out of the blue.

Roxanne’s heart skipped a beat. As she recalled the children’s words to her a while ago, she could barely look at

her phone screen, for she was afraid that she would be disappointed.

“Ms. Jarvis, have you reached home safely?”

She picked up the phone, only to hear Jack’s voice at the other end of the line.

Roxanne’s gaze dimmed almost instantly. Nonetheless, she answered politely, “Yes, I’m home. Thank you for your

concern, Mr. Damaris.”

Afterward, she thought of something and asked in return, “Are you and Dr. Galloway still at the research institute?”

Jack chuckled at the mention of Colby. He voiced, “We’ve separated. I’m on my way home to the Damaris residence

now.”

Roxanne nodded slightly. “Be careful on your way back.”

Jack smiled and uttered, “You looked troubled today. Feel free to look for me anytime if you need any help.”

As a matter of fact, that was not the first time Jack said that to her.

A peculiar sensation swelled within Roxanne, and she kept mum for a brief moment before thanking him

indifferently, “Thank you for your kindness.”

Without allowing Jack to speak, Roxanne continued, “All right. I’ll hang up now.”

Jack responded with a light chuckle, “I gave you a call to show you my concern, but I didn’t expect you to be so

distant toward me.”

Hearing that, Roxanne did not respond.

I’m not sure if he’s flirting with me deliberately. I’d better not say anything to avoid unnecessary trouble later.

Jack was smart enough to notice her reluctance. After that, he said goodbye to her and ended the call.

That phone call took a long time indeed.

In the meantime, knowing that it was a call from Jack, Archie and Benny became vigilant.

Right after Roxanne hung up on the call, they asked impatiently, “Mommy, what did Mr. Damaris say?”
