His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146 Disappointment

Meanwhile, Benny, who had something to say, swallowed his words after his brother’s tirade.

I have almost forgotten that Daddy is a villain, and we were supposed to ignore him!

Lucian frowned when he sensed the unhappiness in the boys. Realizing that he had asked an inappropriate question, he apologized, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bring up your painful past.”

Despite opening his mouth, no words came out after that, for he didn’t know how else to comfort them.

Archie lowered his head and pretended to focus on his food. “It’s all right. We have gotten used to it, anyway,” he said.

At that moment, the atmosphere at the table grew tense.

Unable to restrain himself after eating in silence, Benny raised a teary-eyed gaze at Lucian. “Mr. Farwell, do you like children?”Lucian was dumbstruck by the look on Benny’s face.

Benny continued with his soliloquy. “I suppose you do, as I can see that you treat Essie very well. Since you don’t hate children, why do you dislike us then?”

While speaking, Benny looked at Lucian with puppy eyes.

It’s clear that you don’t hate kids, so why did you abandon us, Daddy?

He was on the brink of vocalizing the question in his mind.

Startled by his brother’s words, Archie was well aware of what the former wanted to ask. Hence, he preempted the question by serving him some food. “Didn’t you say that you were hungry? Here, eat up.”

Despite the sadness within him, he didn’t want to show it in front of Lucian.

Furthermore, he knew that Roxanne didn’t want Lucian to know their identity.
