Chapter 884 Call Mr. Farwell
Snapping out of it, Roxanne beamed at them nonchalantly. “It’s nothing. He’s just checking whether I’m home yet.”
However, they refused to believe her words and merely stared at her.
Nevertheless, Roxanne was quick to divert her attention from Jack. Feeling distraught, she filled her mind with Estella again.
Glancing at her bright phone screen, she hesitated for a moment before searching for Lucian’s number.
I have to try, even though Lucian might not answer my call. It’s better than waiting at home helplessly like this.
At that thought, Roxanne clenched her fist and made the call while trying to keep her composure.
Soon, the call interface popped out on her phone screen.
The kids turned silent in unison, watching Roxanne make the phone call.
By then, they had totally forgotten about the previous phone call from Jack.
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the Farwell residence, Lucian and Estella were in Estella’s bedroom.
It was at that moment that Lucian’s phone rang abruptly.
Disturbed by the abrupt call, Estella furrowed her eyebrows in her sleep.
Lucian’s eyes darkened as he covered Estella’s ears before lifting his head to check on his phone screen.
As he stared at the caller ID, a strange look flashed across his eyes.
Roxanne really cares a lot about Essie. However, I wonder if she prioritizes Essie or her job more…
His phone had been ringing for quite some time before Estella asked, “Daddy, why aren’t you picking up the call?”
Despite that, Lucian was unbothered by it and continued to let his phone ring.
Eventually, a female mechanical voice sounded at the end of the line. Hearing that, Roxanne hung up directly.
As she had expected, Lucian refused to answer her call.
She began to feel anxious but still tried to convince herself.
If Lucian didn’t answer my call, does that mean Estella’s condition is under control?
At the side, Archie and Benny did not expect Lucian not to answer Roxanne’s call.
It seems like Mommy has been calling Daddy multiple times. Daddy must be really mad at her, but it’s not very nice of him to hide Essie’s condition from us!
The kids were enraged at the thought of that.
Once again, a blanket of silence fell over the room.
Right then, Archie’s smartwatch rang. It was a reminder to him that it was time to keep a check on the stock market.
He switched off the reminder without hesitation.
Clearly, he was not in the mood for anything else. I don’t care if I’m losing money. I can always earn the money back later. I’m more concerned about Essie right now. Money wouldn’t bring her back if something happened to her.
Roxanne heard his alarm and immediately thought of something. Then, she lowered her eyes to look at Archie.
Noticing her gaze on him, Archie stared at her in puzzlement.
Roxanne shifted her attention to his smartwatch. With a frown, she suggested, “Archie, how about you call Mr. Farwell using your smartwatch?”
He’s mad at me. That’s why he won’t answer my call. I bet he will pick up the phone if Archie calls him instead. After all, the kid has nothing to do with our drama.
Hearing Roxanne’s suggestion, Archie and Benny suddenly realized that it was a good plan. Yes, we can call Daddy!
With that in mind, they nodded without an ounce of hesitation.
Archie promptly searched for Lucian’s contact on his smartwatch and pressed the dial button.
Meanwhile, a look of surprise flashed past Roxanne’s eyes when she noticed Lucian’s contact in Archie’s smartwatch.
How did Archie get his contact? I don’t recall giving them Lucian’s contact.
