After ending the call and noticing that it was about time, Roxanne headed downstairs to prepare dinner for the children.
Archie and Benny were sitting on the carpet, playing with Lego.
When they saw their mother, they exchanged a brief glance, but they did not continue bombarding her with questions.
“I have work to do tomorrow night. Aunt Madilyn will be keeping you company, okay?” Roxanne told Archie and Benny about the arrangements for the tomorrow night over dinner.
Upon hearing that, they looked at her in puzzlement. “Why do you have to leave at night? Is it a business-related social event?”
Roxanne had never hidden anything about work from Archie and Benny. She said patiently, “There are new developments for the project that I'm working on with Mr. Damaris. I need to attend a contract signing ceremony tomorrow.”
Archie and Benny looked at each other as the same question surfaced in their minds. “Will Mr. Damaris be there too?”
We still remember Mr. Damaris! He's Daddy's love rival.
Roxanne nodded noncommittally. “Mr. Damaris will be with me.”
Immediately after she said that, she noticed a strange expression on the children's faces.
“What's wrong?” she asked in confusion.
Archie and Benny shook their heads quickly before looking at her and asking a question that gave her a huge headache, “Mommy, will you let Mr. Damaris be our daddy?”
Since we don't know if Daddy has asked that question before, we'll find out on his behalf!
Looking at Archie's and Benny's earnest expressions, Roxanne could not help but think about Lucian's face.
Although the children had asked a question that was completely different from his, they were fundamentally asking the same thing.
