Roxanne stood outside the car, glancing at the passenger seat and the expressionless Lucian.
“Ms. Jarvis, come on in,” Estella urged innocently.
Roxanne forced a smile and nodded, then moved to the passenger seat and opened the door. “Can I sit here?”
Lucian looked over, frowning slightly. His voice was cold, and he seemed a little unhappy as he said, “Where else are you going to sit? It’s getting late. If we don’t leave now, I’m afraid there won’t even be any parking space left.”
He knew that Roxanne wanted to avoid him, but he didn’t expect her to resist him to this extent.
There’s only one seat left in the car, and she doesn’t even want to sit next to me.
Lucian felt a burst of anger in his heart.
Roxanne, however, thought he was angry because she was wasting too much time, so she hurriedly got into the passenger seat.
As soon as she fastened her seat belt, he slowly started the car and drove toward the resort.
On the way, the three cheerful children were constantly chatting in the backseat. At first, Roxanne was a little restrained. However, after listening to the joyful voices of the children, she slowly put on a smile on her face.
Once they arrived at the hotel, Roxanne got out of the car first and carried the children out of the backseat one by one. The children held each other’s hands and obediently followed the two adults into the hotel.
The hotel lobby was decorated magnificently. A fish tank in the corner caught their attention as soon as they walked into the hotel.
“It’s beautiful!” Estella’s eyes sparkled.
Roxanne followed her gaze, only to see a few tropical fish swimming in a colorful and eye-catching fish tank.
“Let’s go and have a look!” Archie and Benny wanted to satisfy Estella’s wish, so they led her to the fish tank.
Looking at the children running around happily, Roxanne lifted her head to look at the man at the side.
Lucian frowned and said in a deep voice, “You go with them. I’ll get the rooms.”
Roxanne hesitated for a moment before finally nodding her head. Then, she went after the children.
With a straight face, Lucian walked up to the front desk.
Roxanne caught up with the children and watched as they pointed at the fish in the fish tank. She felt gratified and couldn’t help but take out her phone and snap a picture of the children with the tropical fishes.
In the photo, the three children were smiling brightly, looking very innocent.
Roxanne looked at the photos on her phone and couldn’t help chuckling. Then she stepped forward and stood behind them quietly.
“Look, Mommy, They’re kissing!” Benny pointed at a pair of pink fish and looked back at Roxanne in excitement,
Roxanne looked over and saw a pair of kissing fish swimming together intimately.
It was Benny’s first time seeing this kind of fish, and he was amazed. “Mommy, what kind of fish is this?”
Roxanne introduced the fish to them and said, “If you like them, we can raise some at home, but you have to take care of them.”
The children nodded fervently.
After looking at the fish for a while, they turned around reluctantly.
When Roxanne led them to the front desk, the children kept looking back at the fish tank as they walked.
Seeing that Lucian was still standing at the front desk and frowning as if he had encountered a problem, Roxanne quickened her pace, walked up to him, and asked, “Have you not booked the rooms?”
Lucian nodded slightly and gestured for her to look at the staff at the front desk.
“Hello, because of the peak season, there’s only one presidential suite available in the hotel. Would you like to take it?” the staff asked as she looked at Roxanne respectfully.
Roxanne was stunned, and she couldn’t help but stare at Lucian.
How can there be such a coincidence?
However, Lucian’s stern expression made it difficult for her to suspect that he had anything to do with this matter. She had no choice but to believe that it was indeed a coincidence.
“I’m very sorry. If you had arrived ten minutes earlier, we would have two presidential suits available. There’s only one left now,” the staff said apologetically.
Hearing that, Roxanne felt a sudden sense of guilt. She felt it was because of her they couldn’t get another room.
Chapter 537 “Let’s take this one,” Lucian said. Of course, he was asking for Roxanne’s opinion. Roxanne looked back at him with eyes filled with hesitation.
After all, the reason they couldn’t get another room was mainly because of her. However, the thought of being in the same room with Lucian was somewhat unacceptable to Roxanne.
“Or we could come back next week?” Roxanne asked hesitantly.
“Your vouchers are limited for a period of time. If you don’t use them this week, they will be voided.”
Roxanne’s eyes trembled, and she looked troubled.
Just when she was at a loss, Estella carefully tugged the hem of her clothes and said, “Ms. Jarvis…”
She looked up at her expectantly,
Roxanne’s heart wavered.
Meanwhile, although Archie and Benny wanted to play with Estella, they knew that Roxanne might not be comfortable staying in the same room as Lucian. Hence, they stood quietly and waited for her to make her decision.
Lucian noticed her hesitation and frowned. “I asked. The presidential suite is a duplex. There are rooms upstairs and downstairs. If you’re not used to it, we can just stay separately.”
As he finished, he looked down at Estella.
Estella immediately understood and nodded vigorously. “We’ll sleep upstairs, and Daddy will sleep downstairs!”
The staff chimed in as well, “Our presidential suite’s well soundproofed. You won’t disturb each other. It’s like having separate rooms. Your vouchers also include the price of the accommodation, so you can experience staying in our presidential suite for free. I highly recommend that you take the presidential suite.”
After listening to them, Roxanne could only purse her lips and agree.
Not knowing what Roxanne was feeling at that moment, Archie and Benny looked at each other with mixed feelings.
Estella, on the other hand, was filled with excitement. She looked at Lucian with glistening eyes.
Lucian patted her head and asked the staff to check them in.
After checking in, Lucian took them to the elevator.
As they got into the elevator, the staff at the front desk heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat off her head.
Since the day she started her job, she had been told that Farwell Group owned the hotel
Therefore, when she saw Lucian at first glance, she immediately recognized him as the owner of the hotel.
Although there were still vacant rooms in the hotel, Lucian had hinted to her to tell Roxanne that only a presidential suite was left available. Hence, she could only comply with his wishes.
Evidently, Lucian wanted to convince Roxanne to stay with him, and she could only help him to persuade her.
Fortunately, she didn’t make any mistakes, and Roxanne decided to stay in the end.
Lucian took Roxanne and the three children to their room.
The presidential suite was on the top floor. The entrance was facing the elevator directly, which made it look extremely luxurious.
Although the children were young, they had seen a lot. Even so, they were amazed as soon as they pushed open the door to the presidential suite.
The decoration in the presidential suite was grand. There was a floor-to-ceiling window, and they could see the view of the mountains in the distance.
Roxanne stood behind the children, looking at their backs and the breathtaking scenery. The sight of such a heartwarming scene made her feel inexplicably relaxed.

Very interesting story hoping for thier unity as happy family together ❤️
Nice
Ha ha ha go for the gold Prince Lucian. I just love it mire kisses please. I love how the kids perform
Lucian should just tell Roxanne about being the mother of estella…..the wait is long enough please
Lucian needs to be honest with her and tell her that he called off his engagement with Aubrie and then say something to her about Estela being hers (snidely). Hopefully it would shock her enough to say something about her delivery and how her daughter didn’t make it.
Yea, please! So tired of the non communications and back stepping.
I can’t wait to read more. I really hope that Lucian and Roxanne have a heart to heart when they are together. And he tells her and Essie and she tells him about the boys. LOVE this story..

There needs to be some kind of progression towards information of Essie being Roxanne’s and then Lucien possibly finding out the boys are the same age as Essie. Like a birthday party but to find out all the kids have the same birthday?
