Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Roxanne was slightly stunned before she turned to Lucian with a

worried expression She hadn’t been honest with him the incident when Estella

was lost back then. I doubt I can hide it from him, though: And so, she

hesitantly explained, “It’s probably because I found her when she got lost last

time.” Jonathan didn’t know that happened. His line of sight shifted between

Estella and Roxanne. “I guess you two are destined to meet each other, then.”

Destined? Roxanne thought about Estella’s identity and pursed her lip self-

deprecatingly before replying plainly, “I suppose so.” Jonathan didn’t notice

anything strange about her, so he stood up and suggested, “Since my

grandpa still needs an hour, we should wait downstairs and drink some water.

Thanks for your help, Dr. Jarvis.”

Roxanne secretly sigh with relief when he changed the topic and quickly

agreed to his suggestion. noveldrama

Lucian walked away from his side of the bed, responding to the invitation

through his actions. When he tried to hug Estella, the girl wasn’t at all

interested. After Estella handed the handkerchief to Roxanne, she had been

staying at the latter’s side. Upon hearing that they were heading downstairs,

she immediately reached her hand out and grabbed Roxanne’s hand, much

like how they did it last time. Right before her hand touched Roxanne’s, a

phone rang. Roxanne promptly turned around to take the phone in her bag,

and her fingertips brushed past the little girl’s. It wasn’t easy for Estella to

build up the courage to hold Roxanne’s hand, yet she failed at the last

second. She blinked slowly as disappointment colored her expression, andshe started fiddling with her fingers. Lucian saw how they almost held each

other’s hand. His eyes darkened in response. Roxanne picked up the phone

and saw it was a call from Madilyn. Vas She handed her kids to Madilyn

tonight because of her appointment at the Queen residence.

So, when she saw the call, she thought something happened to the children

and speedily answered. As her finger swiped across the screen, she

accidentally pressed the speaker icon. “Hello?” Roxanne spoke without

noticing her mistake. In the next second, she heard two cute voices ringing

through the air. “When are you coming back, Mommy?” It shocked her and

she quickly turned off the speaker mode.. The children’s voices vanished in an

instant. Despite that, she could feel her heart beating like crazy. She worriedly

and subconsciously shot a side glance at Lucian. Her first reaction was that

she was afraid he would learn of her children’s existence. Lucian’s face was

currently as dark as the sky before a thunderstorm. There was an icy look in

his eyes. I heard the voices coming from the phone. It was a boy’s voice

calling her “Mommy.” Did she get married again? When he realized that, rage

flooded into his mind and heart. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm

down. That was the only way he could resist the urge to pin her to the wall

and question her. Jonathan didn’t detect anything wrong between the both of

them and smiled. “Are you married, Dr. Jarvis?” Roxanne’s mind was in so

much chaos that she just nodded. When Jonathan saw that, he smiled. “I

couldn’t tell you already have kids.” Say She apologized, “I’m sorry. Please

excuse me while I take a call.”
