Chapter 1293
“Why would you choose a difficult option when a much easier one is right in front of you?” Lucian asked.
Roxanne paused in her tracks and stared at him in confusion.
“I’m in no rush. How about I give you a ride instead?” Lucian continued with an eyebrow arched while getting out of
her car.
Roxanne was a little hesitant when she heard that.
It would be difficult to get a cab at this hour, so Lucian sending me to work would make things a lot easier. But I'm
not used to being so close to him just yet, nor am I able to shamelessly accept his help...
As though he had read her mind, Lucian added, “I don't mind charging you a fare if you're that particular about
troubling me.”

Roxanne tensed up, as she knew Lucian meant something else when he said that.
Sure enough, Lucian continued by saying, “I just need you to go somewhere with me.”
“Where to?” Roxanne asked instinctively.
Instead of answering her question, Lucian simply opened the door to the passenger seat and motioned for her to
get in.
As the two of them had been standing around for quite some time, they were starting to attract the attention of the
people nearby. Since it was getting late, Roxanne got into the car after a brief moment of hesitation.
Lucian then made his way to the driver's seat and slowly drove out of there.
Cayden let out a huge sigh as he watched Lucian's car disappear into the distance.
Ugh... It sure isn't easy being Mr. Farwell’s assistant! Not only did I have to suppress my guilt and sabotage Ms.
Jarvis'car in public, but now, I also have to clean up the mess myself and get her car towed to a repair shop...
After making a phone call, Cayden pressed his palms together and prayed that Roxanne wouldn't hold him

accountable if she found out about it in the future.
I'm just carrying out the orders given by Mr. Farwell, so she should go after him instead!
Meanwhile, a huge commotion broke out in the classroom when Pippa brought the three kids inside.
“Essie!”
“It really is her!”
All the other kids squealed in excitement as they rushed forward and surrounded the three.
One of them had mentioned earlier that he had seen Estella at the front gate, but they didn't believe him at the
time.
It wasn't until they saw Estella enter the classroom that they finally believed it.
They didn't really like Estella before, as she refused to speak to them, which led them to believe she didn't like

them.
As Estella gradually opened up with the help of Archie and Benny, however, the kids slowly warmed up to her.
Eventually, they liked her so much that they actually missed her while she was gone.
Having been treated coldly while attending classes at the other kindergarten, Estella wasn't used to receiving such
a warm welcome all of a sudden.
She decided to turn toward Archie and Benny for help, only to realize they had blended into the crowd.
As the kids all took turns giving Estella hugs, one of the boys got so excited that he kissed heron the cheek.
Archie and Benny leaped to their feet and yelled angrily, “Hey! Boys aren't allowed to kiss her! Hugs only!”
Estella was still stunned by the sudden kiss, but she instinctively nodded when she heard them defending her.
The boy then walked up to her and apologized, “I'm sorry. I didn't mean to kiss you. I just—”
After Estella snapped out of her dazed state, her lips curled into a smile when she saw the sincere looks on their
faces. “It's okay! I've missed you guys too!”
At that, the kids smothered her with hugs again.
