Roxanne chuckled when she heard Madilyn grumbling.
Pulling the children into her embrace, Madilyn said with a sigh, “It's been such a busy month, but I'm already feeling much better after seeing these two kiddos.”
With that, she forcefully planted kisses on the boys' cheeks, only to be shoved away by them in disdain.
“Let's go out and play tomorrow! We haven't spent much time together ever since you guys returned. It's my day off tomorrow. I can take all of you out for the entire day,” Madilyn suggested, looking expectant.
The boys' eyes lit up at the idea of going out to play. They instantly turned to Roxanne to hear her response.
Roxanne felt conflicted when she was met by the trio's expectant gazes. “I'm afraid tomorrow is a no-no.”
The moment those words left her mouth, the trio's faces fell simultaneously.
Madilyn stared at Roxanne with an exaggerated expression. “Don't tell me you're working tomorrow.”
Roxanne shook her head. “No,” was all she replied, leaving Madilyn even more confused.
“Then, what? Spit it out. There's nothing we can't tell one another.”
There was a slight change in Roxanne's countenance, and she cast the boys a troubled glance.
The boys looked just as inquisitive as Madilyn.
Seeing that, Roxanne shook her head in exasperation.
The concert was tomorrow, and she had yet to inform the boys about it.
Their expressions told her they would not let her off easily if she did not come up with a valid reason.
However, Roxanne feared her best friend would get the wrong idea if she told them she was going to a concert with Lucian.
