NovelEnglishLucian, Roxanne, and the three children had fun at the amusement park for the rest of the day.
For dinner, Lucian brought them to a nearby high-end restaurant.
“I want to sit with Aunt Roxanne!” When they were about to be seated, Estella held onto Roxanne’s blouse tightly while wearing a prideful expression.
Upon hearing how Estella addressed Roxanne, Lucian, Archie, and Benny were taken aback and instinctively glanced at Roxanne.
Roxanne was hesitant to meet Lucian’s gaze as she said, “Essie wanted to callthat, so | agreed to it. If you don’t like it, then—" Before she could finish her sentence, Lucian cut in with raised eyebrows, “Personally, | feel there's a much closer term of address, but if that’s what you want, let her address you that way for now.” Lucian then ushered Archie and Benny to their seats.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince Estella wanted to sit with Roxanne, Archie and Benny expressed through their actions that they wanted to sit with Lucian.
In the end, Roxanne and Lucian sat opposite each other, with the children by their sides.
The three children were happy with the arrangement. Lucian glanced up and felt satisfied when he noticed that he could look at Roxanne with this seating.
Lucian had called ahead to order their meal, which consisted of the restaurant's signature dishes.
In a thoughtful gesture, he even ordered ice cream for the children.
The design of the ice cream was unique. The waiter did a little magic, and the ice cream turned different in a blink of an eye.
The children clapped their hands in surprise and excitement.
It was a habit for Roxanne to put the children’s plates in front of her and cut their steaks into bite-sized pieces.
Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she saw Lucian was already doing that job for her.
Lucian’s head was bowed as he cut the steaks. There was no sign of impatience written on his face.
As though sensing her looking at him, he met her gaze. “Do you needto help you too?” With that, he shifted his gaze to the untouched steak on her plate.
Roxanne was stunned momentarily. She then shook her head in embarrassment and said, “I can do it myself.” Without saying anything further, Lucian returned to cutting the steaks before placing them back onto the children’s plates.

In a corner they did not pay attention to, Sonya stared intently at the five of them harmoniously interacting with one another, and her expression darkened.
Even if she had known earlier that Lucian and Roxanne would get back together, she did not expect their relationship to have progressed that far.
Any stranger would think that the five of them were a family.
Sonya huffed in anger when she saw Lucian personally cut steak for the two bastards.
| raised him until he becan adult, yet he’s never cut steak for me! How dare he go and serve someone else’s sons? Just what in the world is he thinking? That Roxanne doesn’t look like a good person and already has two bastards, so why is my son dead set on being with her? As Sonya watched the five of them get ready to leave after finishing dinner, she frowned and looked away, trying hard to suppress her anger.
Although her seat was close to the door, no one paid much attention to her table since it was hidden by many houseplants.
It was so hidden that Roxanne and the others did not notice her even though they passed by her to get to the door.
“Thank you, Aunt Roxanne!” Estella thanked Roxanne after the latter gave her candy when they were at the door.
Behind the houseplants, Sonya almost rushed out impulsively when she heard how Estella addressed Roxanne.
