Chapter 253


    When everyone had finally arrived, Pippa asked them to gather around before letting them board the bus


    ording to the list of namespiled the previous night.


    Roxanne, Archie, and Benny were right at the end of the list.


    The others in the ss did not have siblings, so Roxanne was the only one who had two kids with her.


    Hence, the arrangement was for them to sit in thest row.


    After calling Archie’s and Benny’s names, Pippa looked up to confirm their presence when she spotted


    the person standing next to Roxanne.


    “Mr.


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Farwell, what are you…


    Is Este going as well?”


    Lucian nodded indifferently.


    “Este wants to join too.” Hearing that, Pippa looked a little uncertain.


    “But…” Essie has never joined this activity in the past.


    That’s why I thought she wouldn’t be participating this time and didn’t book their seats on the bus or the


    hotel room.


    Lucian frowned.


    “Is there a problem?”


    Pippa looked at him apologetically.


    “Seeing that you have never participated before this, I thought you wouldn’te this time too.


    So, you might have to squeeze in with the other parents.


    Of course, this is my oversight, and I’ll take care of it.”


    When collecting the list of names the other day, he didn’t inform me that Este would be joining.


    Neither did he say that she wouldn’t being.


    Well, I should’ve considered that and set aside two extra seats and a room just in case.


    Now that the seating was already nned, she could not think of a way to free up two seats.


    Lucian nced toward the woman next to him.


    “Ms.


    Jarvis has two children with her.


    I wonder if she’d be willing to let me and Essie have one of her seats.”


    Roxanne had been preparing to get onto the bus with Archie and Benny, but when she heard him


    mention her name, she subconsciously halted her footsteps.


    Thanks to Lucian’s suggestion, Pippa turned toward Roxanne immediately.


    “Ms.


    Jarvis, Archie and Benny have always gotten along well with Essie.


    Do you think…” In other words, she’s also hoping that I’ll give up one of my seats to him.


    But if that happens, we’ll end up sitting together.


    Roxanne turned and looked at Lucian, then suggested calmly, “Mr.


    Farwell, your driver should still be waiting outside, am I right? Why don’t you get your driver to send you


    and Essie there? It’ll also be morefortable than taking the bus.” “I have told the driver to go back


    first,” he replied without batting an eye.


    Roxanne pressed her thin lips together slightly at that, unable toe up with any other excuse to


    refuse.


    Meanwhile, Pippa gazed at Roxanne with a pleading look in her eyes.


    After a moment’s silence, Roxanne finally relented.


    “All right.


    I’ll sit with Mr.


    Farwell.”


    With that, she turned and boarded the bus.


    Lucian followed her while holding Este’s hand.


    There were five seats in thest row.


    A father-daughter pair were already sitting there, and initially, the three remaining seats were for


    Roxanne, Archie, and Benny.


    Roxanne gazed at her two sons, unsure who she should have on herp.


    Considerately, Archie piped up, “Benny wriggles around constantly, so let him have a seat to himself.”


    Benny had no objections.


    I know Mommy loves us both equally.


    Besides, Archie is right.


    It’ll be ufortable for Mommy and me since I can’t sit still.


    Hence, Roxanne carried Archie and ced him on herp, leaving an empty seat for Lucian and Este.


    As soon as Lucian got onto the bus, all eyes fell on him.


    Before getting on the bus, the others had seen how Este treated Roxanne differently.


    And now, they watched as he sat next to Roxanne.


    In an instant, they were somewhat perplexed but did not give it much thought, thinking that it was just


    because Archie and Benny were close with Este.
