Capítulo 1013 ¿Qué había pasado entre ellos

Mientras tanto, en el instituto de investigación, Cayden divagaba incesantemente sobre los méritos de Lucian mientras ayudaba a transportar las hierbas medicinales. Lamentablemente, Roxanne permaneció impasible.

Al final de su cuerda, Cayden se despidió después de transportar las hierbas medicinales y se fue. En su camino de regreso a Farwell Group, el resentimiento se formó dentro de él.

Incluso cuando fue a la oficina del director ejecutivo para informarle a Lucian, su rostro estaba tan negro como un trueno. “¿Qué pasa con esta expresión tuya?”

Vislumbrando la expresión de su asistente, Lucian frunció el ceño, pensando que Roxanne rechazó su ayuda. Solo entonces Cayden volvió a sus sentidos. Él se rió entre dientes con aire de culpabilidad. “Nada.”

Al ver que no quería hablar de eso, Lucian no lo presionó por una respuesta, simplemente preguntó: “¿Has enviado las hierbas medicinales?”

Cayden suppressed the grievance within him and replied succinctly, “Yes. Ms. Jarvis received it personally.” He initially thought that his employer would have questions since he mentioned Roxanne.

Unexpectedly, Lucian acted as though he didn’t hear it, nodding expressionlessly. “Got it. You’re dismissed.” That’s all?

Cayden was stunned for a long while, finding it incredulous. When Lucian remained silent, he sheepishly spun on his heel to leave. While he walked out of the office, he wavered about telling the man about Roxanne and Jack riding in the same car.

But upon imagining Lucian’s expression after learning about it, he couldn’t help shuddering. Hence, he silently nixed that idea. Even when it was time to get off work in the evening, Lucian never mentioned Roxanne anymore.

It was as though that batch of medicinal herbs was meant to signify an end to their relationship.

Sitting in the adjacent assistant’s office, Cayden watched as Lucian walked out of his office with a face devoid of expression and took the elevator directly when it was time to get off work. A mixture of emotions roiled within him.

Is Mr. Farwell… really giving up on Ms. Jarvis?

Needless to say, Lucian knew nothing about Cayden’s thoughts.

Nonetheless, his feelings somewhat aligned with the latter’s conjectures.

Ever since he fell ill until that present day, Roxanne’s reaction had disappointed him beyond words.

He felt that he had already sacrificed enough and lowered himself sufficiently to make up for his mistakes six years ago.

Yet, she remained unmoved.

Therefore, he felt that he needed to stop for a while and carefully assess what was lacking between them.

He mulled it over throughout the drive. Soon, his car slowly came to a stop at the gates of the kindergarten.

Archie, Benny, and Estella hadn’t been let out of school yet.

For once, he waited for them at the gates.

Sometime later, the children walked out in a line under Pippa’s lead.

They seemingly caught sight of his tall figure at once.

“Daddy.”

It was the first time Estella saw her father that early, so she should be thrilled. However, she appeared listless.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Ms. Jarvis. I heard from Archie and Benny that they’ve also tried persuading her, but she refuses to meet me. I wonder what had happened between Daddy and her now.

Little did she know that the subsequent events would be even worse than she had imagined.

Cuando los niños se acercaron a él, Lucian le tendió la mano a Estella. “Vamos a casa.” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Al escuchar eso, Estella levantó los ojos y miró a su padre con sorpresa.

“Pero la Sra. Lane aún no está aquí”.

En el pasado, siempre habían esperado con Archie y Benny. Sólo cuando los chicos se hubieran ido, Estella haría lo mismo.

A un lado, Archie y Benny también estaban perplejos, sin entender del todo el significado de Lucian.

Anteriormente, papá se fue con Essie de inmediato porque estaba enfermo. ¡Pero ahora, obviamente se ha recuperado!
