His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129 Are You Injured

Roxanne had felt the same way earlier that morning, so hearing about it filled her heart with a warm sensation. “Maybe. I’m really glad that you two are able to look after Essie.”

Benny patted himself on the chest confidently as he said in his childish voice, “Don’t worry, Mommy! Archie and I will continue to keep Essie safe!”

Roxanne couldn’t help but giggle when she heard that.

Lucian glanced at them through the rear-view mirror when he heard Benny’s promise and Roxanne’s laughter. A hint of tenderness formed in his eyes when he saw the heartwarming moment they were having.

She sure has raised those boys well. They’re so much more mature than the other kids around their age.

Lucian was planning on leaving after dropping them off at the house as he had seen for himself how well Roxanne took care of Estella. On top of that, Archie and Benny were treating Estella like their own sister too, so there was no reason for him to stay and make them feel uncomfortable.

While getting out of the car, Roxanne glanced at Estella and said after a brief moment of hesitation, “How about you join us for dinner? I’m sure Essie would have a much better time with you around.”

Lucian gave her a strange look and paused briefly before replying, “Thanks, I’ll take you up on your offer.”Roxanne kept quiet and led the kids inside while Lucian followed behind after parking the car.

Upon entering the kitchen, she quickly washed her hands and started making dinner. Archie and Benny led Estella into the living room and played with their Lego set to kill time.

Lucian was a little hesitant at first, but decided to stand next to them and help out when needed.

With the two boys working closely together, the scattered Lego pieces were soon transformed into a complete unit.

When it came to attaching the final piece, Archie glanced at Lucian with a hesitant look in his eyes.

Lucian then held his hand out, prompting Archie to place the Lego piece in his palm. The boy pursed his lips and lowered his head wordlessly as he watched Lucian attach the final piece.

Estella, who was watching Lucian attach the Lego pieces together, reached out to grab a Lego piece all of a sudden.

Both Archie and Benny’s eyes lit up with excitement when they saw that.
