Chapter 1136
“Mommy, please don’t dislike Mr. Farwell.” Devastated by Roxanne’s response, Benny tugged her sleeve pitifully. “Even though Mr. Farwell has made you mad, he still cares a lot about you. Every time you were sick, he would always be by your side.”
His words triggered a flicker in Roxanne’s eyes and tugged at her heartstrings.
It was true that ever since her return, Lucian had always been by her side when she wasn’t feeling well.
Prior to that, Roxanne had never had anyone care for her other than the children doing their clumsy best.
I can’t deny that Lucian has given me a sense of security, but…
Oblivious to what was going through his mother’s mind, Benny mumbled, “Mr. Farwell treats you very well, and he doesn’t let us tell-”
It was then Benny felt a sudden poke from Archie.
Biting his tongue, he quickly tried to change the subject. “No matter what, Mr. Farwell is the best. Can you stop quarreling with him already?”
However, Roxanne’s brows were already knitted. “What did you mean just now? What else did Mr. Farwell do?”
Benny lowered his head, brimming with guilt.
The look on his face ended up intriguing Roxanne further.
At that moment, Archie knew that it was too late to salvage Benny’s slip of the tongue. Trying to hide it any further would only intensify Roxanne’s suspicions.
With that thought in mind, Archie spoke candidly. “It was Mr. Farwell who took care of you when you were drunk.”
