In the living room, Lucian likewise stayed up the entire night.
Early the next morning, the children saw Roxanne in the room as soon as they woke up.
“Mommy!” Benny cried out in a juvenile voice. Then, he added happily, “I dreamed about you last night!”
When Roxanne heard that, her expression stiffened for a moment.
If I'm not wrong, the so-called dream he had of me refers to when he came out of the room last night. If he were to learn that it wasn't a dream, I wonder what he would think...
While she was fretting about that, Benny's voice rang out once more. “Hmm, it doesn't seem like a dream.”
After saying that, he lifted his head and stared at her with curiosity etched across his features. “Did I go out of the room last night, Mommy?”
As he spoke, a mixture of emotions brewed within Roxanne. Upon hearing that question, she instinctively wanted to deny it. But on second thought, it occurred to her that she couldn't possibly fool Archie and Benny. Therefore, she could only nod helplessly.
“I saw you and Mr. Farwell in the living room. What were you two talking about, Mommy?” Benny wore an innocent expression on his face.
Words eluded Roxanne.
I just knew that he would ask that, but I never expected him to be so straightforward.
As the events of last night replayed in her mind, Roxanne's face gradually flushed bright red.
Archie and Estella were entirely ignorant of whatever happened last night. The instant they heard Benny speaking of it, curiosity showed on their faces.
Upon noticing the blush staining her face right then, they were all the more eager to hear her answer.
