Chapter 732 Troubling Alfred
In the evening, after kindergarten class was over, Archie and Benny stared at their father standing before them in confusion. “Your mommy has something to do, so I’ll be in charge of sending you to school for the next few days,” Lucian explained in a deep voice.
The boys exchanged glances upon hearing his words but did not give it much thought. After all, from their perspective, whichever of their parents doing that was the same.
The fact that Mommy is leaving the matter of sending us to school to Daddy means their relationship is developing in a good direction. As that thought came into their minds, Archie and Benny were secretly pleased as they obediently followed Lucian into the car.
Estella was also on cloud nine. If Daddy is responsible for taking Archie and Benny to school these few days, it means I get to visit Ms. Jarvis’ home every day!
All three kids were in a good mood and chattered away in the back seat. Unlike them, Lucian was thinking of Roxanne with a solemn look.
It’s obvious that Jessica was behind this incident. It seems that the lesson I gave to the Hightower family last time wasn’t good enough, so she still has the energy to come out and cause trouble!
Lucian stopped the car once they arrived at Roxanne’s house and brought the three children into the mansion. At that moment, Roxanne was preparing dinner in the kitchen while thinking about everything that had happened earlier that day.
She was so distracted that she did not notice that the children had returned. “Mommy!” The kids did not think much of it, merely running excitedly to the kitchen once they had changed their shoes.
Only then did Roxanne snap back to her senses and look down at the children with a smile. Benny hugged his mother’s thigh innocently. “Mommy, why did Mr. Farwell pick us up? Where’s Aunt Madilyn?”
Hearing that, Roxanne subconsciously lifted her gaze to look at the man in the living room. She did not expect the children to ask such a question, so she did not prepare an explanation.
Similarly caught off guard by the question, Lucian looked at Benny with a frown. After a long while, Roxanne finally came up with a random excuse. “Aunt Madilyn has to work overtime for the next two days and is very busy.”
Benny noticed his mother was acting strangely, but he figured that she was probably too shy to tell them about her relationship progress with their father, so he simply nodded understandingly. “All right then. We’ll be good and listen to Mr. Farwell.”
Seeing that the boy did not ask any further questions, Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief and absentmindedly patted the children’s heads.
Meanwhile, in the living room, Lucian noticed that the children were surrounding Roxanne, so he got up, went to the balcony, and called Jonathan.
On the other side, Jonathan had belatedly learned the news about Roxanne and was preparing to contact Lucian.
Hence, he immediately picked up the call and, without waiting for Lucian to speak, said, “I already learned about Dr. Jarvis’ matter. I think I should be of help.”
Lucian smiled when he heard that. “I also contacted you for this matter.”
At present, the netizens were mostly questioning whether Roxanne was qualified enough to join the Damaris family’s project and how she managed to join it.
No one knew the answer to that question better than Alfred.
If the old man willingly clarified in her defense, the discussions would naturally die down.
However, the Queen family would be dragged into the farce as a consequence.
“Don’t worry. Dr. Jarvis’ matter is your matter, and your matter is mine as well. My family will definitely help you out. After all, only we can help,” Jonathan replied with conviction.
Lucian hummed in response. “Indeed. This matter can only die down with Old Mr. Queen’s intervention. Sorry to trouble him, and I’ll pay a visit to thank him next time.”
