Roxanne hesitated before asking, “These aren't for Estella, right?”
Lucian admitted to it straight away, “I bought these for Archie and Benny. I'd misspoken a few days ago. After returning home, I thought over what I said and felt I should apologize even though they were children. I noticed something similar in your house and thought Archie and Benny would like these.”
After saying that, Lucian looked at Archie and Benny solemnly and offered a box to them. “I'm sorry for what I said before. I hope these are to your liking.”
Archie and Benny looked at the toys delightedly.
It was normal for boys to love robots and race cars. Furthermore, Archie and Benny had much higher IQs than their peers. Therefore, they preferred more complicated toys and were interested in high-tech ones.
They used to badger Roxanne to buy them. However, some of these were too expensive. Although they liked those toys very much, they were sensible and did not mention them to Roxanne.
Thus, they were surprised that Lucian knew what they liked.
Benny could not resist taking a couple of steps toward Lucian and looking into the box.
It contained all the toys he coveted on the website. He nearly used the small fortune Archie earned in stock trading to get them, causing Archie to scold him.
Although Archie liked the toys, he could not forget that Lucian abandoned his mother. He stood still with a stern expression but could not resist looking into the boxes.
One could see Archie and Benny desired the presents from Lucian.
Benny looked at the toys for a long time before turning to his mother and seeking her opinion.
If Mommy disagrees, I will never accept the toys, no matter how much I like them.
