“Hello there.”
Seeing how polite and cute the children were, Jack gentled his tone.
The two children straightened themselves and looked curiously at Jack, unsure of who he was.
With a smile, Roxanne said, “This is Mr. Damaris, a colleague of mine.”
The introduction seemed to put the boys at ease as they sweetly greeted Jack with another hello.
Jack reached out to pat the boys on their heads. “I'm in a rush and never thought I'd run into you both today. I should've brought you some gifts! There's always next time, I suppose. I'll get you both something nice.”
The children nodded obediently and chimed, “Thank you, Mr. Damaris.”
Jack smiled at the boys before looking at Roxanne, signaling that they had to leave.
Roxanne acquiesced and turned to the boys again. “I'll be off now. Why don't you both go back inside?”
Having said that, Roxanne and Jack got into the car.
Archie and Benny waited until Jack's car completely disappeared from their line of sight before shuffling back into the mansion.
“Archie, I think that Mr. Damaris looks quite handsome,” said Benny while rubbing his eyes. He had suddenly become more alert.
Hearing his brother say so, Archie raised a brow as he recalled the man from earlier.
He is handsome and has a style similar to Daddy's, but he's also more gentle than Daddy.
Moreover, if I understood Mommy correctly, he's the man from the Damaris family who she was yearning for. He must be quite capable.
