Chapter 1066 A Coworker Sending Flowers
After breakfast, Roxanne was afraid the children would say anything inappropriate, so she asked them to play outside. Jack was still waiting in the living room. She cleaned up the dining room, then sat next to him.
“The mother of Mr. Farwell’s daughter has always been mysterious.” Jack’s voice rang out abruptly. Roxanne was stunned. She did not understand why he suddenly brought that topic up.
Studying her expression, he resumed, “If not for the fact that you already have two children, I would think you’re the mother of his daughter.” “That’s impossible. Don’t say nonsense like that, Mr. Damaris,” Roxanne quickly denied.
“You two resemble each other. Or maybe I’m just overthinking it. Good-looking people tend to have similar features, after all.” Jack smiled, his words seemingly ambiguous and implying something.
Furrowing her eyebrows slightly, Roxanne kept her composure and changed the topic. “How did the medical consultation go yesterday, by the way?”
Jack sensed her anxiety and gazed at her meaningfully for a few seconds, making her feel uneasy. Fortunately for her, he went along with her wishes and changed the topic.
The children were feeling a little unhappy as they gathered in front of the mansion entrance. Estella knitted her eyebrows as she stared at the boys. “Does Mr. Damaris have a good relationship with Ms. Jarvis?”
The boys exchanged a glance, uncertain of what to say. They didn’t want to tell her Jack was Lucian’s potential love rival and had a good relationship with Roxanne, as they were uncertain how that knowledge would affect her unstable mood.
“Mommy said they’re colleagues. She’s been fairly busy with work lately, so they’ve been interacting with each other more frequently,” Archie said.
Estella pursed her lips and stared at the entrance, skeptical of Archie’s words. Why would he, a mere coworker, send Ms. Jarvis flowers? Daddy has many colleagues, yet he never gave any of them flowers! I wonder what Ms. Jarvis is talking about with Mr. Damaris inside. Also, why did she chase us out?
The more she thought about it, the more worried she was. The boys’ hearts sank when they sensed Estella’s foul mood.
The three children gazed at the entrance with great bitterness and deep hatred, wishing they could run straight to Roxanne’s side and monitor her interaction with Jack.
After a while, the boys made a decision and said, “How about we go in right now?” However, when they turned around, they realized Estella was gone.
“Essie?” Archie and Benny combed the courtyard to look for her. Estella was squatting next to Jack’s car, doing something. The moment she heard their voices, she wrapped up her task, concealed her tools, and hid behind Jack’s car.
As Archie moved closer, she abruptly ran out from behind the car. “Why are you here, Essie?” Archie’s eyes lit up. Estella lowered her head guiltily and muttered, “I… I just want to play hide and seek.”
Archie took in the girl’s expression. While he found her demeanor odd, he didn’t give it too much thought. “If you want to play hide and seek, we can play with you. But you must inform us beforehand if you’re going somewhere next time.”
Estella nodded obediently.
