Archie and Benny were already awake and had already changed into their costume
When they opened the door and saw the little witch in front of them, they were astonished. “Essie looks like a real witch!”
Estella shyly moved to Roxanne’s side when the two boys complimented her.
Roxanne touched Estella’s soft face and urged Archie and Benny, “It’s your turn nc We’re running out of time. We must be quick.”
Archie and Benny quickly agreed and followed Roxanne to do their make-up.
After helping Archie and Benny with their make-up, Roxanne did simple make-u on herself and changed into her costume. Then she had a quick breakfast before rushing toward the kindergarten with the three children.
When they arrived, Lucian’s car was already stopped in front of the kindergarten entrance.
Lucian got out of his car calmly when he saw them getting out of the vehicle.
Instead of doing his makeup, Lucian had only changed into his costume and style his hair. There was also a brilliant-looking sword attached to the waist of his costu which made him look like a prince from a fairytale,
Archie, Benny, and Estella were dumbfounded by his appearance.
“Daddy!” Estella ran into Lucian’s arms the moment she saw him. She was charmed by his striking appearance. Lucian squatted down to hug Estella and held her up while looking at Roxanne in front of him.
Roxanne had on only simple make-up and was wearing a white princess dress. Her long hair was pulled up and secured by a tiny crystal crown. Her eyes seemed to sparkle, and she looked dazzling.
Roxanne smiled at him faintly when she met his eyes, and he couldn’t turn away.
Archie and Benny were standing behind Roxanne quietly as they looked at Lucian before them, imagining how they would look like when they grew up.
Although they didn’t like him, they couldn’t deny how handsome Lucian was.
Will we be as handsome as him in the future?
“Let’s go inside.” Lucian broke the silence and turned to lead the way.
Roxanne nodded slightly and walked behind him along with Archie and Benny.
The anniversary celebration had yet to begin. The children and their parents, who had already done their make-up, were looking around the kindergarten.
The theme of the anniversary celebration was fairytales, so the entire kindergarten was decorated such that it resembled the places in fairytales. At first glance, Roxanne thought she had walked into a fairytale world.
When they first walked into the kindergarten, they first entered a world of snow and ice. There were pumpkin lanterns everywhere and several pumpkin carriages by the roadside. One of them had a glass shoe on it.
As they walked further into the kindergarten, they saw a colorful candy house. Several exquisite-looking baskets were placed at the doorstep, and half of the candies inside had been taken away.
At the sight of the candies, Archie and Benny stopped in their tracks.
Just as Roxanne was about to get two candies for Archie and Benny, Lucian had already walked toward the candy basket. He returned not long after with his hands full of candies.
“Isn’t this too much? What about the kids after us?” Roxanne asked,
Lucian looked at her in amusement. “Someone will fill up the baskets later.”
Realizing how stupid she was, Roxanne pursed her lips while smiling awkwardly
Although Archie and Benny were averse to him, they couldn’t resist the temptation of the candies. After hesitating for a few seconds, they carefully took two candies from Lucian’s hand and said sweetly, “Thank you, Mr. Farwell.”
Lucian nodded slightly and took two candies for Estella. After that, he put the rest of the candies into the big pocket of Estella’s witch costume.
In an instant, Estella’s pocket bulged.
Along the way, they saw that many parents and children were also dressed in fairytale costumes.
The children were held by their parents as they skipped forward.
From afar, Roxanne saw a child looking like Little Red Riding Hood. That little girl looks really cute…
Right when she was staring at Little Red Riding Hood, the adult next to the little girl suddenly looked in Roxanne’s and Lucian’s direction.
Roxanne couldn’t help feeling surprised when their eyes met. She greeted the woman with a smile, “Ms. Clark.”
Cassandra held little Chloe’s hand as they walked toward Roxanne. The former was stunned when she saw Roxanne, Archie, and Benny. “Ms. Jarvis, you’re really beautiful today! Archie and Benny look really adorable too!”
Roxanne smiled. “There I was wondering who the cute Little Red Riding Hood was. I can’t believe it’s Chloe.”
Cassandra’s role was Grandma Wolf, so she had dressed up like an old lady on purpose. As a result, Chloe looked even more energetic and adorable by her side.
“The kindergarten gave her a good cloak.” When Cassandra spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Lucian walking in front of her.
Lucian had walked forward without looking at her at all.
Chloe, who was holding onto Cassandra’s hand, suddenly saw that Archie and Benny were eating something. She asked curiously, “Archie, Benny, what are you two eating?”
“Candy.” Archie and Benny opened their mouths to show her. After that, they touched their pockets and looked at Chloe apologetically. “We’ve finished ours. Otherwise, we could have shared two with you.”
The disappointment was written all over Chloe’s face when she heard that. Roxanne’s heart softened when she saw how sad Chloe looked. She remembered the candies inside Estella’s pocket and called out to Estella, “Essie, can you give two candies to Chloe?”
Estella turned at the sound of Roxanne’s voice and nodded, trying to take a few candies from her pocket.
However, as she was being carried by Lucian, she couldn’t move her hands much. Besides, the pocket of the witch costume was deep. After trying for a long time and still couldn’t reach the candies, she looked at Lucian for help.
Lucian did not seem to notice Estella’s movements at all as he continued moving forward.
Chloe looked at Estella pitifully. After she waited a long time for the candy and couldn’t see any, her face fell even more.
Roxanne was in a dilemma.
If I called out to Lucian, he’d definitely give Chloe the candy, but we would look too intimate in front of Ms. Clark. But poor Chloe…
Upon deliberation, Roxanne called out to the man in front of her, “Mr. Farwell, could you help Essie with the candies?”
Hearing that, Lucian stopped in his tracks.
Everyone behind him became nervous all of a sudden.
A few seconds later, Lucian had a few colorful candies in his hand. He walked toward Chloe and asked the latter to open her palm.
Lucian’s aura frightened Chloe, Chloe tried to stretch out her hands a few times, but she didn’t dare to. Yet, her eyes were filled with longing for the candies.
Naturally, Cassandra was embarrassed to take the candies straight from Lucian’s hands.
At that moment, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Roxanne noticed the awkwardness in the air. After a short moment of hesitation, she walked toward Lucian and took the candies from his hand. Then she squatted down and took Chloe’s hand. “Here are some candies for you, Little Red Riding Hood,” she said softly.
Chloe’s eyes gradually lit up. “Thank you, Ms. Jarvis!”
Roxanne smiled. Afterward, she turned sideways to remind Chloe, “Don’t forget to thank Mr. Farwell too. He’s the one who gave you the candies.”
Looking at Lucian, Chloe became timid again. She mumbled, “Thank you, Mr. Farwell.”
Lucian nodded slightly in response, then glanced at Roxanne, who was still squatting down with a meaningful look before turning around and walking forward.
Seeing that Lucian had walked some distance away from them, Cassandra asked cautiously, “Ms. Jarvis, are you close to Mr. Farwell?”
Roxanne was taken aback when she heard that. She tried to stay calm as she explained, “Essie gets along well with my boys, so I interact with Mr. Farwell more than you guys. That’s probably why we look a little close.”
