Lucian watched the kids go up the stairs as a myriad of emotions rushed through him. Just now, Archie and Benny said Roxanne told them to come. She kept calling me throughout the day, but I haven't picked up any of her calls. I thought she would've given up since she knew I was angry. Who would've known that she would use the boys against me? At first, she told the boys to call me. After that, she even told them to come and see Essie. Undeniably, she's gotten smart. However, why didn't she just come when she has already done so much? She knows that I wouldn't refuse her if she were to come with Archie and Benny. Could it be that she's also angry at me? But why should she be?
Catalina sensed Lucian's anger and uttered carefully, “Mr. Farwell, I'll send some snacks up for Ms. Estella and the boys.”
Upon hearing that, Lucian regained his senses. In order to push those thoughts aside, he rubbed his temples forcefully.
He then rose to his feet from the couch and uttered in a hoarse voice, “I'll go.”
Catalina nodded and gave him the plate in her hands.
Lucian took the plate and went upstairs.
At that moment, Estella, Archie, and Benny were sitting in a circle in Estella's room.
“Where's Ms. Jarvis? Is she still busy working?” Estella asked Archie and Benny in her adorable voice.
Archie and Benny were stunned for a moment before asking warily, “Who told you Mommy is busy at work?”
“Daddy. Even Ms. Catalina said so,” Estella answered innocently.
Besides, when Lucian called Roxanne earlier in the morning, Estella also heard the latter saying the same thing.
That was why Estella thought that was really the case.
Upon hearing Estella's response, Archie and Benny exchanged a look before coming up with a white lie. “Mommy has her hands full. That's why she told us to visit you first.”
