Cayden was still feeling uneasy even after he had successfully picked Archie and Benny up from the kindergarten.
For some reason, he felt as though he could see Lucian's shadow in their eyes when they were staring at him earlier.
There's no mistaking that suspicious look in their eyes. They definitely think I'm hiding something!
Sure enough, Archie asked the moment he got into the car, “Mr. Lawson, is our mommy really with Mr. Farwell right now?”
Unsure of what to say, Cayden pretended to not hear the boy's question and continued driving toward Roxanne's house.
“Mr. Lawson, are you hiding something from us?” Benny started questioning him as well.
Since they were unable to get any answers out of him, they began coming up with their own theories in the back seat.
Fearing that they would end up hitting the nail on the head, Cayden said, “Why would I lie to you two? Mr. Farwell gave Ms. Jarvis a batch of medicinal herbs for her research, so she's working overtime to take inventory. I think Mr. Farwell has something to discuss with her. That's probably why he sent me to pick you two up instead.”
Archie and Benny exchanged uncertain glances when they heard that.
While they did find Cayden's behavior somewhat strange, his explanation was rather believable.
At the very least, it was something they actually wanted to see, so Archie and Benny decided to believe in Cayden for the time being.
Even so, they still couldn't shake the feeling of uneasiness in their gut. “And here we thought something terrible had happened to Mommy!”
Cayden's heart skipped a beat as he let out a forced chuckle. “No way! Ms. Jarvis has been conducting research for so many years now! You two should have more faith in her!”
Archie and Benny simply pursed their lips and smiled at him in response.
