After seeing Lucian and Estella off, Roxanne returned inside the mansion with Archie and Benny and started preparing for dinner.
“Mommy.” The two boys followed her into the kitchen.
Roxanne stopped what she was doing and asked, “What is it?”
“Why did you fight with Mr. Farwell?” Archie and Benny looked at her intently.
Their question caught her off guard. “I didn't—”
She was about to deny the fact that they fought, but she was interrupted by her kids. “We saw everything. You can't lie to children!”
Roxanne was at a loss for words. What's going on with them today?
She had had countless disagreements with Lucian, and Archie and Benny had always been on her side without asking her what had happened.
“Did Mr. Farwell make you upset?”
Roxanne began to ponder who was at fault in her conflict with Lucian, but she couldn't figure it out even after some time.
In the end, she could only shake her head and explain evasively, “No. I was just talking to Mr. Farwell about Essie, and I started to sound impatient as we spoke.”
Suspicion was written all over Archie's and Benny's faces.
Roxanne stroked their heads and said, “All right, that's enough. Don't worry about the adults. You boys head on out now. I have to prepare dinner.”
“Archie and I are better than adults in some aspects!” Benny argued.
Roxanne knew what they meant. They could help her with her problems, but it wasn't appropriate to let them know about her relationship issues.
