Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 955

Roxanne wasn't at all surprised by Lucian's statement.

After all, the culprit who added the bacteria into the children's water put Estella through great agony.

Considering her importance to the man, it was only natural that he was determined to punish the culprit.

“Are you still not planning on changing your mind despite the incident this time?” Lucian queried out of the blue, making little sense.

Roxanne's thoughts were still on the culprit who added the bacteria, so she was somewhat perplexed when she heard that question.

Without bothering to wait for her reply, Lucian added, “Benny instinctively called out for his father while in a semi-conscious state. If I remember correctly, the same thing happened previously.”

Back then, they were all infected by the bacteria on Estella. Archie and Benny first itched all over before running a high fever.

When Benny was semi-conscious, he also asked for his father in a mutter.

At the mention of that matter, Roxanne's heart clenched. Biting the bullet, she countered, “He has been lacking fatherly love for a long time now, so that's nothing out of the ordinary.”

Despite knowing that Benny was merely talking in his sleep, she still couldn't help feeling guilty.

She instinctually thought that the man only put that question to her all of a sudden because he discovered her secret.

But then, the next words out of his mouth caught her completely off guard.

“That's precisely why I'm talking about this. You can also see how much they yearn for fatherly love, yet you still plan to continue depriving them of it?”

While saying that, Lucian stared at her meaningfully.

Without needing him to spell it out further, Roxanne instantly caught his drift.

In other words, he was telling her in a roundabout way that he was willing to be Archie and Benny's father, thus seeking her opinion on the matter.

He had asked a similar question countless times, but she was still panicked as usual.

Her eyes alighted on the man beside her briefly before she hurriedly averted her gaze.

“I'm not the only one with the final say in this matter. I'll respect their opinions.”
