His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 1652

Chapter 1652 Be Good And Stay Home

Lucian replied to every single one of the children's innocent questions.

Although he had already expected those questions, and it was not hard for him to answer them, he still felt exhausted after doing so.

When faced with the children's naive and innocent expressions, it required a lot of energy on his part to come up with lies.

“Daddy, can't we go look for Mommy?” Estella suddenly asked.

She and Roxanne had only reunited not long ago, so she was unwilling to be apart from the woman, especially after knowing that Roxanne had left for such a faraway place.

Lucian's expression stiffened when he heard her question. He almost could not hold back and let his sadness burst out.

Yet he stayed silent for a few moments. Suppressing those emotions, he pretended everything was fine as he looked at the children.

“I'm quite busy these days, so I can't take you. Your mommy will probably be gone for only a week. She'll be back when you go on break.”

With that, he quickly averted his gaze and pretended to be focused on eating dinner, afraid the children would see through his lie.

Luckily, the children did not think too much about it. They were just a little disappointed.

“Why does Mommy have to be gone for so long? I hope she'll already be waiting for us at home when we come back on Friday night...”

The emotions that Lucian had tried his best to suppress stirred within him once more. The pain he felt was too great that it made him breathless.

He gulped before replying, “She will. When you come back, your mommy will definitely be waiting at home for you.”

The children thought he was tired, so they quieted down and helped to put food on his plate.

Lucian felt his heart grow heavier. The food he ate was now unappetizing.
