His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 1040

Chapter 1040 Almost Crying

Not long after, Archie and Benny slowly ambled down the stairs. They did not want Roxanne to see their injured arms, so they deliberately changed into their pajamas with long sleeves.

Roxanne was waiting for them by the dining table. As Archie and Benny walked up to her, she suddenly felt something was amiss.

She stared at Benny for a long time. Then, she frowned and asked, “Benny, what happened to your hand?” A scrape on Benny’s hand appeared rather unsightly.

Hearing his mom’s question, Benny stiffened up. He followed Roxanne’s gaze and noticed the scrape on his palm. Upon seeing that wound, Benny immediately looked at Archie for help.

Archie knitted his brows tightly. He figured Benny must have injured his palm when the older kids pushed them earlier. Still, he did not expect the scrape on Benny’s palm would be so eye-catching.

Roxanne quickly sensed that her kids were hiding something from her. “Ms. Lane told me you were asleep the whole day. Did you boys sneak out?” She knew her sons better than anyone else.

Aside from sneaking out, Roxanne could not think of any other explanation that could make her sons seem like they had stayed in their room and slept for the whole day.

Lysa stared at Archie and Benny in shock. “No way. Why did I not realize that they snuck out?”

She had been busy doing chores on the first floor the whole day, so she would definitely have noticed if Archie and Benny had snuck out of the mansion.

Hearing that, Archie and Benny lowered their heads in guilt, not daring to say anything.

Taking in their reactions, Roxanne knew she must have guessed it right.

“Come here.”

With her expression darkened, she reached out a hand toward Archie and Benny.

They exchanged a look but still obediently walked over to her.

Roxanne rolled up their sleeves and saw the scratches on their arms.

Those scratches were much more severe than the scrape on Benny’s palm.
