Roxanne then turned to look at Lucian, who was gazing affectionately at her. The tender glow in his eyes hindered her from questioning and blaming him.
“Mommy, please say yes to Mr. Farwell!” Benny pleaded with his cute voice. He grabbed Roxanne's arm and swung it back and forth, his tiny face filled with anticipation.
Archie, who was usually reticent, piped up to express his opinion as well. “Mommy, since Essie is our biological sister, you should give her a complete family!”
Roxanne felt guilty when she heard the boys' words.
Archie is referring to himself, too. Ever since they were old enough to understand things, they've always wanted a daddy, but they never expressed their feelings because of me. Deep down, they must yearn for a complete family too! But...
Roxanne lifted her head and stared at Sonya, who was standing far away.
Sonya was standing in the corner where the light didn't reach, and half of her body was concealed within the darkness.
The light shone on her face as she looked at Estella, her eyes filled with sorrow and distress.
However, when she met Roxanne's eyes, her expression turned cold and indifferent yet again.
Roxanne looked away bitterly and regarded Archie and Benny, who were anxiously waiting for her answer. Guilt inundated her.
Her reckless decision years ago had turned the boys into monsters in the eyes of their biological grandmother.
Roxanne hoped Sonya would sincerely accept the two boys with open arms, and not only because they were part of the Farwell family.
“Mommy?” Archie and Benny called out anxiously when they noticed Roxanne remaining silent.
Roxanne returned to her senses. A look of conflict flashed across her eyes, but she quickly made up her mind.
She placed Estella back down and looked at the boys. “Bring Essie inside first.”
Archie and Benny seemed to have sensed something and stubbornly refused to leave.
Roxanne ruffled their hair in reassurance. “Don't worry. I have already made a promise to Essie. We won't ever be apart again.”
