“Mommy!” While Roxanne was still doubting herself, Archie and Benny's sweet voices could be heard.
The boys had been waiting in the dining room for quite some time. When Roxanne did not return, they thought Lucian had arrived with Estella, so they ran outside excitedly.
However, when they saw the man on the couch, the boys instantly became wary of him.
Although Archie and Benny had only met Jack once, they had a lasting impression of that man.
They were already worried that Jack would steal their mother away from their father. Furthermore, they knew their parents had a fight yesterday because of Jack.
Since Jack had dropped by early in the morning to look for Roxanne, Archie and Benny couldn't help having their guard up.
“Hello.” Jack smiled at the boys and stood up. “I didn't prepare a gift for you when we met the last time. Hence, to be on the safe side, I stored a gift in my car so that I can hand it to you when I see you. Hang on, I'll get it.”
Then, Jack left the mansion to get the gift.
Once he was out, Archie and Benny huddled up to their mother and asked, “Mommy, why did Mr. Damaris drop by today?”
Roxanne pushed her frustrations away and tried her best to force a smile at her children. “Nothing, it's just because of work. Don't worry.”
Work again.
Archie and Benny glanced at each other. Yesterday, Jack had also summoned Roxanne away using work as an excuse. As a result, Lucian and Roxanne argued over this matter.
“Well, are you going to work today, Mommy?” The boys displayed pitiful expressions on purpose and murmured, “You promised you'd take us out today!”
