Roxanne was stunned to see the man in front of her getting down on one knee.
Am I dreaming? Lucian is... proposing to me? Why would he do such a thing? He skipped this part when we got married six years ago.
At that instant, Roxanne felt a little lightheaded. She could not believe what was happening right before her eyes.
She instinctively wanted to flee but was held back by the three children as soon as she took a step backward.
“Mommy, Mr. Farwell means it. Please say yes. He's been preparing for this moment for quite some time. We saw him getting ready since afternoon,” Benny blurted.
Roxanne's resolve began to waver after hearing that.
What the children witnessed was only Lucian's preparation in the afternoon. Little did they know how much time he had invested in turning all the flowers in the garden into traditional medicinal herbs.
I wonder how much time Lucian spent getting everything ready.
“Come on, Aunt Roxanne, say yes to Daddy! I want us to become a family,” urged Estella.
One by one, the kids started persuading her to answer in the affirmative.
Meanwhile, Lucian was staring at her, the look in his deep, dark eyes as determined as ever.
“I've pondered a lot during your absence in the past six years. Now that you're back in my life, I swear I'll never disappoint you again. I'll protect you and also take care of our children. Please trust me once more, Roxanne.”
His hand that was holding the ring didn't move once as he spoke, not even an inch.
“Mommy, Mr. Farwell is the only person we want to be our Daddy!” exclaimed Archie and Benny simultaneously.
Roxanne's eyes darted from side to side as she started having second thoughts.
