Chapter 716 Did You Pick On Her

“Mommy!” Concerned about the interaction between the two adults in the house, the children hadn’t been in the mood to play. The instant they caught sight of Roxanne coming out, they immediately swarmed over to her.

Roxanne smilingly patted them on the head, but her expression was somewhat distracted.

“Did Daddy pick on you, Ms. Jarvis?” she queried cautiously.

The mention of the man in the house made Roxanne unconsciously frown. Feigning a nonchalant expression, she shook her head with a smile. “Nope.”

Estella stared at her with suspicion written clear in her eyes. “Where is he, then?”

Roxanne turned and glanced in the direction of the living room before replying, “He has just awakened. Perhaps… he’s still sitting on the couch.”
