Mission To Remarry

Chapter 1067 Only Friends

After Archie found Estella, he summoned Benny. “Let’s head inside and listen to what Mommy is talking about with Mr. Damaris.” Upon hearing that suggestion, the other two agreed.

They opened the door carefully and saw Roxanne sitting on the single-seat couch and chatting with Jack. Both adults had a smile on their faces.

The alarm bells in the children’s minds rang loudly the instant they noticed the faint smile on Roxanne’s face. Estella acted against her usual behavior and sprinted straight to Roxanne’s side.

“Essie?” It was only then Roxanne noticed the children had returned. Jack gave Roxanne and Estella the once-over and said half-intentionally, “I can see the resemblance even clearer like this.”

That sent Roxanne into a panic. Innocently, Estella asked Roxanne, “What resemblance, Ms. Jarvis?”

Roxanne patted her head, shot a look at Jack, and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just a random comment from Mr. Damaris.” Then she stood up and faced Jack. “Is there anything else, Mr. Damaris?”

Of course, as a veteran in the business industry, he could tell she was hinting for him to leave. He smiled at the kids and said, “It’s almost noon. Even though I’ve known the boys for a long while now, I still haven’t had the chance to treat them to a meal. How about we all have lunch together today?” Then he looked at Estella meaningfully. “It just so happens that Mr. Farwell’s daughter is here, so consider this my invitation to him for a meal.”
