Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian)

Chapter 1871 A Lucky Date

At night, when Roxanne came back from the research institute, she was greeted by the sight of her three children pouting, especially Estella.

The little girl was scowling. "Mommy, you promised to take me to the design expo, but you didn't make time for me. Daddy was the one who brought me there in the end!" "Essie, don't be mad. Mommy is really busy with her doctor and research institute work."

"That's right, Essie. Why don't you let Mommy make it up to you next time?"

Both Archie and Benny tried to comfort Estella as they explained Roxanne's situation to her.

Roxanne felt guilty after listening to Estella. She crouched down to level with the little girl and apologized to her.

"It's my fault. I forgot about our promise, Essie. This is a serious mistake on my part, and I'm really sorry," Roxanne said.

She reckoned that she had to set a good example for her children to follow by first apologizing when she made a mistake.

Estella was only throwing a minor tantrum and did not expect Roxanne to take her words so seriously. She shook her head and dashed into Roxanne's embrace.

"It's all right, Mommy. I forgive you, but could you let me know next time? I got up really early in the morning, changed my clothes, and went to your room to look for you, but you weren't there," Estella mumbled indignantly.

Roxanne hurriedly nodded and kissed her little cheeks. "It's my fault. I will make sure to let you know next time. Okay, you may make two requests, and I promise I'll fulfill them this time."

Estella told Roxanne that she needed time to think about it.

In the meantime, Lucian got down from the study upstairs and explained the reason their mother had to work overtime that day.

It turned out that she had to save a researcher's life. Archie, Benny, and Estella finally understood why their mother had to work all of a sudden.

Estella nodded and said, "Mommy, you're so great for saving lives. So, I just have one request. Let's go visit Aunt Madilyn. I haven't seen her in a while."

"That's right, Mommy. What's Aunt Madilyn doing these days? Why doesn't she come by to play with us anymore? We miss her too," Archie and Benny chimed in.

Roxanne and Lucian agreed and promised that they would go to Madilyn's house the next day.

Roxanne called Madilyn, who was overjoyed to hear that the children missed her. Looks like I didn't adore them for nothing.

Madilyn also said she missed the children.

After playing with the kids for a while, Roxanne went upstairs to take a bath.

All of a sudden, Elias and Sonya arrived at Lucian's place, and they asked where Roxanne was right after stepping into the living room and seeing Lucian.

"Mom, Dad, what happened? Why does it seem like you guys are in a rush?" Lucian asked. "Roxanne is in the shower. I'll ask her to come downstairs later."

"Of course we're in a rush. Lucian, the geomancer has picked a lucky date today, but your dad and I just realized that despite us planning every single aspect of the wedding, we have forgotten about the most important people!" Sonya said with furrowed brows.

Lucian was stumped.

Elias regained his composure and lamented, "Have you forgotten as well? We're talking about Roxanne's parents! Our family owes her a lot, and we have to make things right this time. However, we don't know much about her family. How careless of us!"
