Chapter 712 Exceptional Acting Skills

Lucian, who was standing on the landing, frowned imperceptibly upon hearing that. He turned around and looked at

Roxanne by the bedroom door in puzzlement.

Roxanne had her eyes lowered and her brows knitted together slightly as though regretting her offer earlier.

Clocking that, Lucian smirked cryptically. “You don’t need to force yourself, Ms. Jarvis. I won’t change my mind

because of a meal.”

After he had said that, he tilted his head at her. Then, he spun on his heel and headed down the stairs again.

Roxanne lifted her eyes when she heard movement. Sighing inwardly, she repeated, “Let’s have dinner together.

Essie would definitely be sad if you were to leave.”

That remark was meant for both Lucian and herself. Since he mentioned her past self six years ago, she couldn’t

help recalling how she felt when she left six years ago at the sight of his lonely figure.

Although her pain then was courtesy of him, she was still soft-hearted and didn’t want others to experience the

same sorrow she did at that time.

Hearing her offer, Lucian paused in his tracks. The look in his eyes darkened as his heart clenched painfully. He

could surmise the reason she was allowing him to stay, and precisely because of that, he hated his past self more

than he already did.

“I’ll consider your feelings for me in all seriousness. But I hope that you can give me a bit more time.” Roxanne

relented once more.

When Lucian turned around to face her, his expression had already reverted to its usual indifference. “Thank you.”

Roxanne flashed him a smile as mixed feelings surged within her heart. Subsequently, the two of them went

downstairs, one after another.

Downstairs, the children were playing with Legos distractedly. As soon as they heard movement from upstairs, they

instantly sprang to their feet and sprinted to the landing. They gazed at Lucian and Roxanne eagerly, curious to

know the progress of their conversation.

Failing to perceive anything even after a while, Benny snapped and asked candidly, “Are you mad, Mommy?”

Roxanne stilled for a few seconds. As the children’s actions earlier occurred to her, she queried in return, “Did you

guys do it on purpose?”

The children’s expressions stiffened for a heartbeat when they heard her question.

Fortunately, they all had exceptional acting skills. Their expressions quickly turned innocent, and they regarded

their mother in perplexity. “Did we do something wrong?”

“Did I bump into you by accident just now? I’m sorry, Mommy. I was just too competitive,” Archie confessed without

prompting.

Roxanne eyed them suspiciously for several seconds before frowning in exasperation.

Oh well, they’re all smarter than the last. Even if they had really done something, I might not necessarily be able to

tell. Besides, they’re all looking as innocent as ever that I can’t even bear to doubt them.

Hence, she had no choice but to put away her suspicions. Patting them on the head, she assured softly, “I’m not

mad. I’m just a bit tired.”

The children skeptically shifted their gazes to Lucian at the side.

Lucian nodded at them flippantly.

The children finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the two adults must have made up.

In the blink of an eye, smiles bloomed on their faces once more.

Lucian and Roxanne played with them for a while longer. This time, the kids didn’t dare have any tricks up their

sleeves, but they still enjoyed themselves immensely.

When evening fell, Roxanne corralled the trio who were playing madly and had



them help her prepare dinner together.

Naturally, the children were all more than glad to do so.
