Catching sight of Estella having her meal gloomily, Lucian could not restrain himself from questioning,
“Essie, what’s the matter? Why’re you unhappy?”
Estella pouted her lips and grumbled, “You don’t like Ms. Jarvis anymore.”
Flabbergasted, Lucian was silent for a few seconds before querying desperately, “What makes you say
that?”
Down in the dumps, Estella stared at him. “We can finally meet Ms. Jarvis during the anniversary
celebration, but you don’t seem to look forward to it at all.”
Lucian’s brows twitched uncontrollably as he refuted, “That’s not true.”.
Estella threw him a glance doubtfully. Daddy didn’t look excited at all in the car just now. Even when
he’s denying it now, he doesn’t look glad at all. He’s bluffing!
Sensing Estella’s doubt, Lucian frowned resignedly. “I only can’t help thinking we can’t carry on like
this.”
Perplexed, Estella tilted her head.
Lucian stroked Estella’s head affectionately. Deep down, he knew he needed her help to mend his
relationship with Roxanne. Oh! Why don’t I make things clear with her now?
“Essie, you like Ms. Jarvis, don’t you? Since she’s paying no heed to us, don’t you think we should take
the initiative first?” He guided her patiently.
Estella nodded fervently.
“Essie, if Ms. Jarvis shows up during the anniversary celebration, go to look for her, okay?” Lucian
asked.
Estella was more than willing to do so. Thus, she nodded without thinking twice.
Lucian nodded slightly, racking his brain on what excuse he could use to approach Roxanne that day.
Just as his head was aching, the screen of his phone on the table lit up.
Lucian grabbed it instinctively to have a glimpse. It was a message sent by Pippa to the parents’ group
chat: Dear parents, our kindergarten will arrange for our students to have stage performances during
the anniversary celebration. We sincerely hope that all of you can attend it and watch their
performances. Apart from that, we plan to have our students perform a play together with their parents
on the stage. It is to strengthen the relationship between the students and their parents. Thus, we look
forward to everyone’s cooperation.
At the sight of the message, Lucian felt his heart flutter.
At that instant, one of the parents responded with a question: Is it compulsory for everyone to take part
in the play? How will the performers be confirmed?
Pippa replied: We hope that everyone can take part. However, parents who can’t make it can contact
me directly. As for the parents who can take part, we’ll divide everyone into groups. I’ll share the team
list here once the list of parents participating is confirmed.
Everyone agreed in unison.
The moment Lucian realized everyone would be divided into groups, he arched his brows as something
popped into his mind.
After replying to Pippa’s message in the group chat, he called Cayden right away.
Cayden had just had his dinner when his phone rang with Lucian’s name blinking on the screen. He
answered it at once. “Mr. Farwell, what can I do for you?”
Lucian instructed solemnly, “Get in touch with the head of the kindergarten. Tell him to talk Roxanne
into attending the anniversary celebration this round. On top of that, request him to arrange Essie and
her two kids in the same team.”
Cayden was clueless about the series of activities during the anniversary celebration of the
kindergarten. Even so, he dared not dawdle to carry out the mission as instructed by his boss.
Right after Lucian hung up, Cayden called the head of the kindergarten to relay the former’s instruction.
The latter agreed with that readily.
