Roxanne looked up Lucian’s number from her contact list.

She had saved it only because she didn’t want to miss his call back when Estella had wandered off from home.

It was now that the woman remembered she had saved his contact name as just “A.”

After changing it to his actual name, Roxanne dialed the number.

Lucian was about to head out and look for Estella on his own when his phone rang.
