Chapter 1238

Roxanne's eyes brimmed with helplessness as she watched Lucian's leaving silhouette.

Meanwhile, the three children were playing happily outside when they saw Lucian emerge with a scowl on his face. The sight instantly caused their smiles to freeze. "Daddy..." Estella warily grabbed hold of Lucian's sleeve. "Did you argue with Ms. Jarvis again?"

Archie and Benny, too, gave him a look of concern.
