When Roxanne returned home in the evening, Lysa had brought Archie and Benny home and prepared dinner for them.
Upon noticing Roxanne from a distance, the two children greeted her, "You must be tired, Mommy!"
They tilted their heads to look at Roxanne and realized she looked worn out.
The two boys exchanged glances. Mommy must have had a hard time at work.
Roxanne was exhausted after a long day at work, but after seeing how worried her sons were, she pulled herself together. Stroking their heads, she smiled. "Thank you, my darlings."
When her words fell, Archie and Benny immediately ran to fetch her a pair of slippers and placed them at her feet.
Roxanne responded with a grin.
When she took off her coat, the two boys grabbed it from her and hung it on the rack.
It took them a while as they were not tall enough to reach the coat rack.
Roxanne giggled while patiently waiting for the boys. After they managed to hang the coat, she led them to the dining table and sat them down.
"Bon appetit, Mommy!" The two little ones even gave their mother some of their food.
Roxanne's smile grew wider. All her exhaustion vanished in a flash when she saw how obedient Archie and Benny were.
"Mommy, you must be tired, right?" Benny leaned over to observe her expression.
Roxanne responded with a comforting smile, "Not at all, especially seeing your faces."
The two boys looked at her with suspicion.
"Come, try some." Roxanne gave them a portion of her food as well.
Just when she thought the little ones would dine in peace, Benny suddenly questioned endearingly, "Mommy, when do we get to travel out of the country again?"
