Hesitation filled Roxanne's eyes as she stared at Lucian.His eyebrows furrowed as he stretched his
hand toward her.
"I'll help you walk."
She glanced at the children in the dining room, who were all staring at the two of them with wide
eyes.When she recalled the phone call he had gotten earlier, she rejected his help.
"You should keep the children's company first, Mr.Farwell.I can ask Lysa for help."
Displeasure flashed across Lucian's eyes when he heard that.His tone grew colder.
"Do you think it's inconvenient for me to hold you, Ms.Jarvis? I'm thinking the same thing, so I'll just
carry you there."
He immediately leaned down toward her.It was beyond her expectation that he would threaten her that
way, so she quickly stretched her hand out.
"Thank you for your help then, Mr.Farwell."
Lucian stopped his movements for a few seconds, which made her anxious.
After a while, he stood up again and grabbed the arm she stretched out.
Borrowing his strength, she stood up from the couch.
In the next second, he pulled her into his embrace.Roxanne froze upon noticing how intimate they were
getting.She wanted to push him away, but she couldn't muster the strength to do so.
Additionally, he was holding her pretty tightly, which didn't give her any space to struggle.She was
escorted to the dining table with his help as the children looked on.Roxanne smiled at the children.
"See? I'm doing fine"
The children naturally saw her crippled leg as she walked.It only made their hearts ache when they
heard that.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHowever, it was obvious Roxanne didn't want them to worry.
Thus, the children didn't ask any further questions and silently put some food on her plate.She thanked
them with a smile.
"Ms.Jarvis." Estella suddenly spoke.
Roxanne turned to the girl, confused.
"Can you rest properly and get better soon?"
The look in the girl's stare was serious.
When she heard Roxanne's wound open because of all the walking, she wanted Roxanne to rest and
get better soon.
Upon hearing that, Roxanne was stunned for a few seconds.Then she nodded at the child, unsure if
she should laugh or cry.
"I know.Don't worry, Essie.I'll listen to your advice."
Estella nodded seriously like a small adult.Following that, the boys’ attention shifted to Lucian as they
spoke.
"Thank you for applying Mommy's medicine for her, Mr.Farewell." They proceeded to put food on
Lucian’s plate.
He didn't expect they would thank him.
With his eyebrow raised, he smiled at them indifferently.
"You two need to take good care of your mother and try not to let her walk" The children nodded.
They all had an enjoyable time with the meal.
After dinner was over, Lucian didn't force Roxanne any further and quickly left with Estella.
"Mommy."
It wasn't until the two of them left that the boys approached her and looked at her carefully.
Roxanne met their eyes with confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"Can Essie and Mr.Farwell visit our place again?"
Their voice was small.
They might not like the fact that their father abandoned their mother, but after two days of interaction,
they began to feel it was better to have him around.
After all, he always knew how to take care of their mother.
When she heard them asking that abruptly, a strange feeling surfaced in her heart.
"Do you boys...like Mr.Farwell?"
