“I'm sorry.” Roxanne lowered her head.
Upon hearing that, Benny knew Roxanne had bought his lie and let out a sigh of relief in secret.
He lowered his guard even further when he heard his mother apologizing to him.
He tugged her sleeve obediently. “I don't blame you, Mommy!”
Roxanne forced a smile, but she still felt remorseful.
Benny tilted his head and blurted out his thoughts, “If you really feel sorry, make Mr. Farwell our daddy! Archie and I like him a lot!”
Roxanne's heart clenched when she heard that.
It was the first time she had heard the boy express his opinion about Lucian to her. Is it because they're related by blood that they love him so much?
Roxanne felt the urge to tell Benny about his background, but then she thought about her relationship with Lucian. If Lucian learns that the boys are his children, he won't let them stay by my side.
At that thought, she pinched her palm silently and swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.
“Mr. Farwell is going to marry someone else in the future, and there's nothing I can do about it.” She patted his head comfortingly. “However, I can promise you that your future daddy will be someone you and your brother will like!”
Naturally, Benny was disappointed when his proposal was rejected by his mother.
However, he found himself understanding his mother's decision when he recalled her precarious relationship with his father.
He was determined to help his parents reconcile with each other.
Unwilling to face Benny's disappointed countenance, Roxanne stood up and grabbed his tiny hand. “Come on. Let's head back to Essie.”
