Mission To Remarry novel Chapter 496

Chapter 496

Since her request was going to make things difficult for others, Roxanne could not insist on it. She smiled in resignation and said, “In that case, don’t worry about it. We’ll leave it as it is.”

Almost immediately, Jeffrey replied, “Thank you for your understanding, Ms. Jarvis. If there’s nothing else, I’ll end this call with you. Other parents are trying to reach me as well, so I’ll have to get back to them.”

He was in a hurry to hang up, seemingly worried that Roxanne would change her mind.

After ending the call with Jeffrey, Roxanne stared blankly at the crumpled piece of paper with the words Sleeping Beauty on it.

The two boys noticed her reaction and gingerly called out, “Mommy.”

Roxanne looked at them with downcast eyes. Seeing that their mom seemed disheartened, the boys anxiously asked, “Mommy, you don’t like that play?”

She nodded, which aroused the curiosity in the boys.

“Why? Is it a terrible story? Can you tell us that story?” they asked.

Roxanne frowned slightly and bit her lips, feeling a little awkward. “I… I will tell you the story another day,” she finally replied.

She highly suspected she and Lucian would be given the lead roles for the play. Horrified by the idea of her being Sleeping Beauty with Lucian as her prince, she became despondent and was not in the mood for storytelling.

She prayed hard that the kindergarten would modify the story to cater to the audience of young kids.

Roxanne’s reaction triggered the interest of Archie and Benny in Sleeping Beauty. Aware that Roxanne was not keen to tell them, they decided not to pursue further. They merely asked, “Mommy, you’re still going to participate, right?”
