Roxanne led Archie and Benny back into the living room after watching Lucian's car leave.
Both boys looked at Roxanne with concerned expressions on their faces.
Mommy has been in a bad mood for the past few days. She was in an even fouler mood right after she came out of the study. I'm curious about what Daddy said to Mommy just now.
Benny had never been good at hiding his emotions, so he immediately asked, “Mommy, what did you say to Mr. Farwell?”
Upon hearing his question, Roxanne's eyes darkened as she lowered her gaze toward him.
Both Archie and Benny merely stared at her, as if they were hinting at the fact that she couldn't fool them.
As she met their gazes, Roxanne could only sigh helplessly and replied evasively, “We talked about some work stuff.”
However, Benny continued to probe relentlessly, “But you seemed really upset, Mommy.”
In the past, they had never seen Roxanne acting like that because of work-related matters.
It was as if she was being cautious of something.
Archie and Benny exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion.
What did Daddy actually do to make Mommy so wary of him?
Roxanne knew her explanation wouldn't fool those two, so she could only explain the matter to them briefly, “Mr. Farwell wanted to work with me, but I refused his offer.”
Both boys still didn't get the answer they wanted to hear. Instead, they furrowed their brows and wanted to probe further.
However, Roxanne wasn't keen on explaining further. She simply added, “It's inevitable to have conflicts regarding work-related matters. This is perfectly normal. You don't have to worry too much.”
It sounded like the same thing Lucian had told Estella.
Even if they didn't believe her words, both Archie and Benny had to admit that what Roxanne said was the truth.
Nevertheless, the boys had no idea whether it was simply work-related or not.
