Mission To Remarry

Chapter 266

Hearing that, Aubree shot to her feet and glanced at Lucian with a grin.

Aubree’s motive for coming was to prevent Lucian and Roxanne from spending time with each other. Now that Roxanne had suggested the idea herself, Aubree could not be happier.

Lucian’s gaze turned grim when he heard Roxanne’s words. He looked at her with a frown and said, “Ms. Jarvis, you helped me and Essie to plant the tree just now. I can’t just leave like that. Besides, there’s one more tree left. Let’s plant it together.”

Roxanne furrowed her brows. When she was about to turn down his suggestion,

Estella called out timidly, “Ms. Jarvis…”
