Chapter 1770: Seek Her Opinion in Everything
“Archie, Benny, how do you both know so much? Did you learn all that from Mommy? I want to learn too! I want to master all that!” Estella pleaded with Lucian, “Daddy, have Mommy teach me, won’t you?”
“Okay, okay. I’ll ask your mommy to teach you when she’s free. But don’t you like fashion design? Mastering fashion design is also commendable!” Lucian smiled, gently guiding her. Talent and passion differed greatly from a passing interest.
“All right, I’ll study both then. I want to learn medical skills and fashion design. I’ll work harder!” Estella declared, her resolve evident. Archie and Benny immediately voiced their support. Lucian, observing this, felt they doted on her excessively.
Upstairs, Roxanne overheard their conversation. A smile played on her lips. She felt a profound sense of peace and joy, unlike anything she’d experienced before. Her previously anxious heart settled, replaced by a deep feeling of security. She felt utterly blissful.
After Lucian sent the triplets to kindergarten, she returned to sleep. Upon waking, she found Cayden had arrived, delivering a thick stack of documents requiring Lucian’s signature. Since her near-death experience, several unusual events had occurred: Lucian had taken several days off work, and important contracts were now signed at the mansion. Cayden, ever tactful, complied with this new arrangement; he had never seen his employer so relaxed and content.
Once Lucian finished signing, Cayden excused himself, granting them privacy. Before he left, Lucian asked, “What’s the progress on the matter I asked you to investigate last night?”
“There are leads. A man Frieda has been in contact with is from the north. She recently established a new company and is recklessly spending money to acquire the Damaris family’s depreciating assets. It’s likely his doing. I’ll report back once I confirm his identity,” Cayden replied quietly. Lucian nodded, and Cayden departed.
When Roxanne entered the living room, she saw shopping bags filled with supplements and nutritional foods on the coffee table. “It seems Cayden’s learned these formalities,” she chuckled, “though he didn’t need to buy so much.”
Lucian shook his head, denying Cayden’s involvement.
“Then who sent these?” Roxanne asked.
“Elektra brought them earlier. She wanted to visit you, but you were asleep, so I didn’t wake you. I simply said you weren’t home. She didn’t stay long,” Lucian explained calmly. Such social niceties held little significance for him.
“Oh, I see. Did you thank her for me?”
Roxanne, a doctor, recognized the largely superfluous nature of the gifts, but appreciated Elektra’s kindness.
“Yes. She also invited us to dinner. I didn’t immediately respond, so you can decide. I don’t mind either way,” Lucian said, cherishing this time with Roxanne. He was determined to involve her in every decision, to prevent future problems.
“Well, I’m fine either way. She’s just returned from abroad and helped me immensely, so I should treat her to a meal. You can extend the invitation on my behalf,” Roxanne replied.
