Chapter 504
Mission To Remarry
Just like that, the meeting came to an end after a brief discussion.
Pippa stood at the classroom door and waved goodbye at the parents as they left.
Roxanne walked up to her with a concerned expression and asked, âMs. Ward, are you sure you donât want to change the plot for Sleeping Beauty? I donât know if itâs appropriate for children to witness that final sceneâ¦â
Pippa flashed her a reassuring smile as she replied, âDonât worry, Ms. Jarvis. The kids already know about this sort of thing. Besides, youâre not really going to kiss in front of them. Youâll be positioning yourselves to look like youâre kissing.â
Pippa then looked behind her and asked, âIâm sure youâll offer your full cooperation, right, Mr. Farwell?â
Roxanne tensed up when she heard that.
âOf course,â Lucian replied, his voice sounding like he was whispering right next to her ear.
Roxanne lowered her gaze and stepped aside before turning around to look at him.
âDonât worry, Ms. Jarvis. Iâm not the kind of guy who would take advantage of others. Besides, you and I are both parents. Thereâs no way weâd be doing anything inappropriate,â Lucian said with a cold look on his face.
âRelax, Ms. Jarvis. Itâll just be a bunch of kids watching the play,â Pippa added.
Unsure of what to say, Roxanne nodded with a forced smile. âThank you for what you did earlier.â
âNo need to thank me. I was just doing my job!â Pippa replied casually with a chuckle.
Roxanne then had a brief chat with her before leaving.
She was about to open her car door when she heard Lucianâs voice coming from behind her again âSince youâve agreed to work with me, youâre not going to bring your personal emotions into the play, right, Ms. Jarvis?â
Roxanne turned around and nodded calmly. âYou may rest assured that Iâll give the kindergarten my full cooperation, Mr. Farwell.â
She deliberately emphasized that she was only going along with the play as it was part of the kindergartenâs activities.
The look in Lucianâs eyes turned gloomy when he heard that. âThatâs good to hear. I hope we will be able to work well together.â
Roxanne fcit a little uneasy as she nodded in response.
Knowing this guy, heâs not going to let me leave so easily. Fortunately, Iâve already prepared an excuse for myself To her surprise, Lucian turned around and got into his car without saying a word.
Roxanne froze in shock when she saw him start the car and drive off..
âMs. Jarvis,â Cassandra called out to her.
Roxanne snapped out of her daze and turned around.
âIâm sorry for putting you in a tough spot earlier. I didnât know Mr. Farwellâs daughter was so close with your kids,â Cassandra said apologetically as she made her way over.
Roxanne flashed her a faint smile in response. âItâs all right. I agreed to change teams too.â
Feeling slightly relieved after hearing that, Cassandra asked, âW-What about Mr. Farwell?â
Both of them knew full well what she was implying.
Cassandra was the one who suggested the team change, so she was afraid that Lucian would get mad and come after her.
As such, she wanted Roxanne to help talk Lucian out of doing so.
Roxanne was a little hesitant when she recalled Lucianâs cold expression from earlier. âI donât think you have to worry about it. After all, the issue has been resolved, and Mr. Farwell isnât that petly of a person.â
However, Cassandra was still staring at her with a fearful and pleading look in her eyes, Eventually, Roxanne had no choice but to agree to her request. âAll right, I promise Iâll explain it to him properly.â
âThank you very much! Just let me know if you ever need my help with anything, okay? Iâll do my best to assist you!â Cassandra thanked her profusely while breathing a sigh of relief Roxanne simply pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything.
