Chapter 817 Try This Later
Without the two adults realizing it, the children had gathered in a circle to watch Lucian. Ever since
Archie and Benny accepted Lucian as their father, they had grown more fond of him with every passing
day.
Seeing how serious he was, the children looked at each other with admiration in their eyes, wondering
if they were going to be as handsome and cool as their father when they grew up.
Archie and Benny then turned to look at Estella. They were not sure if they were seeing things, but
Estella’s side profile bore a striking resemblance to their mother.
For a time, the atmosphere in the room was light-hearted and fun. Suddenly, the sound of Roxanne’s
phone ringing broke the silence. The few of them looked inquiringly in Roxanne’s direction.
Roxanne merely smiled apologetically at the children, but the caller ID on the screen caught her eye. I
wonder what Jack wants.
“I need to take this call,” said Roxanne to the children. Subconsciously, she glanced at the man who
was still busy mixing the batter before walking toward the living room.
The children looked warily at Roxanne’s retreating form, wondering who it was that would call her on a
weekend morning.
In the living room, Roxanne promptly picked up the phone. “Mr. Damaris? What seems to be the
matter?”
The distance between the dining room and the living room was not too vast, and Roxanne did not care
to lower her voice. As such, everyone in the dining room could hear every word she said.
The children then turned to look at Lucian, curious about what his reaction was going to be.
Lucian stopped stirring, and his brows knitted into a mild frown.
At the same time, Jack’s soft voice could be heard from the other end of the line. “Are you free today,
Ms. Jarvis?”
Roxanne subconsciously directed her gaze at the dining room. When she realized what she was
thinking about, she immediately turned away with a frown and asked, “Is it urgent? If so, I can make
time.”
“Actually, Grandpa said he has not seen you in a while. Regarding the previous issue, he wishes to
give you an apology in person. On top of that, he wants to visit your research institute. However, if you
are busy, we can do this another day,” said Jack calmly.
Hearing that it was Hector who wanted to meet her, Roxanne naturally had no objections and agreed
promptly. “All right, then we’ll meet at the research institute in a bit.”
Jack hummed in agreement.
After deciding on a time, the two of them hung up.
Roxanne turned to go back to the dining room. Looking at Estella apologetically, she said, “I’m sorry,
Essie. I may need to go out for a short while.”
Estella had already overheard the conversation from earlier, but hearing Roxanne say this to her in
person still made her quite disappointed. There was a prominent look of displeasure on her face as her
mouth formed a little pout. “Ms. Jarvis, aren’t you going to eat the cake we’ve made?”
She had put in so much hard work and time throughout the week so that Roxanne could taste the cake
she learned how to bake.
Roxanne’s heart sank when she saw how disappointed the little girl was, but she could not afford to be
late. After all, it was not just Jack who was waiting for her, but Hector as well.
Thus, Roxanne could only caress Estella’s head apologetically as she suggested, “I’ll eat it when I get
back, okay?”
However, Estella still looked quite reluctant.
Archie and Benny, who had met Jack before and heard that Roxanne had been out drinking with him
the last time, were not happy either when they found out that the man wanted to take up their mother’s
free time on a weekend.
“Mommy, the cake is halfway made. Why don’t we finish baking first?”
Archie and Benny then surrounded Roxanne, looking at her with pleading looks in their eyes.
