Chapter 172
Chapter 172 The cars in the front started moving again, so Roxanne lifted her leg from the brakes and
set her eyes on the road.Everything felt even more ironic when she recalled Lucian’s expression.
“Aren’t you engaged to Ms. Pearson? Don’t you feel that it’s inappropriate to be so close to me
because of Essie?”Besides, he doesn’t even know who Essie’s biological mother is.The more she
dwelled on the matter, the more outrageous she thought he was. How dare he nag me?Lucian didn’t
expect her to bring Este up, so he looked a little conflicted and replied ambiguously, “That’s not the
same thing.”After all, Este was her daughter.She sneered, “What’s different? Besides, we have no
other connection other than Essie, and we’re not even friends. It’s my right to decide who I wish to be
friends with. It has nothing to do with you. Don’t you think you’re being a little too controlling?”As soon
as she said that, the temperature in the car dropped.Lucian’s expression darkened as he stared into
the distance. After that, he didn’t say anything else during the entire trip.Simrly, Roxanne pursed her
lips tightly, and her mind was all over the ce while she had the same expression on her face as
Lucian.Both of them stayed silent for the rest of their journeyTun dedit toll her where he wanted to

appropriate for her to keep staying here. Mr. Farwell, if it’s convenient for you, you should bring her
back.” Roxanne had considered it throughout the journey Despite her reluctance to be separated from
Este, Roxanne made that decision in the end. She was a little tired of the fact that Lucian would go
to her house once every few days because Este was staying with her.I’ve told him clearly from the
beginning when we first met that we’re already strangers, buttely, he kept showing up in front of me
and even did that during Old Mr. Queen’s birthday banquet. I’m really confused. What’s our rtionship
right now, anyway? Besides, it’s obvious that Archie and Benny, especially Benny, have gotten closer to
him.Benny had already taken a liking to him at the beginning. Moreover, thest two times Lucian gave
Benny and Archie gifts made them even more fond of him. As such, Roxanne was afraid that Benny
would tell Lucian everything about her one day.With Lucian’s intelligence, he would definitely find out
that Archie and Benny were his when the time came.Roxanne didn’t even dare to think about what
would happen after that.There was still no response from Lucian after some time, so she added,
“Besides, it seems that Mrs. Farwell doesn’t want Essie to stay with me…”She didn’t know why, but she
felt that Lucian was staring at her with a strange look in his eyes.Unbidden, she stopped talking.Lucian

children, her heart melted instantly. She tightened her hug and pulled thern closer to her as her worries
disappeared.
