Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 495

After hearing Roxanne's reply, Archie and Benny became concerned. “So, are you still going, Mommy?” they asked.

Roxanne read their minds, and shook her head passively.

The two boys thought she meant she was not going, so they anxiously tugged at her and whined, “Mommy, you gave us your promise, so you can't take back your word! If you don’t want to talk to Mr. Farwell, we will keep him from you!”

Roxanne was amused by their reactions. She ruffled their hair affectionately and assured them, “Don't worry. Since I gave you my word, I will definitely honor it. Moreover, Ms. Ward has already finalized the groupings, so mommy can't possibly trouble her to make changes now, can I?”

The boys heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing her assurance.

However, Roxanne's heart sank as she thought about the one she had to partner with. “Do you know which play we are doing?” she probed.

She heard from Pippa that the children drew lots to see which play they would be involved in, so she was positive Archie and Benny knew the answer.

Upon hearing her question, Benny ran to his bag and dug into it for a while. Then he came back with a piece of crumpled paper, likely the piece they got from the draw earlier that day.

Roxanne froze on the spot after she took a look at that piece of paper.

Neatly written on the paper were the words Sleeping Beauty. For the benefit of the children, their teacher even added phonetic alphabets under the words.

“Mommy, do you know this story?” Benny looked up at Roxanne and curiously asked.

Roxanne did not have the habit of reading bedtime stories to the boys. On the rare occasions when she did, she also would not pick fairy tales about princes and princesses for the boys. As such, the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty was alien to Archie and Benny.
