Chapter 187
Back at the mansion, Lysa had been waiting for them to return and have dinner for quite some time.
When she saw everyone entering the house, she hurried to them and asked, “What happened? Why is everyone home so late?”
Roxanne forced a smile and answered, “It’s nothing. I had to work overtime. Please babysit the kids. I’m a little tired, so I think I’ll go to bed now.”
When Lysa saw how pale and tired Roxanne looked, she agreed to babysit right away.
Roxanne cooed her kids a little, then retired to her own room.
When Lysa finished making breakfast the next morning, she realized that Roxanne was still nowhere to be seen.
The kids, on the other hand, had already made their way downstairs. They even dressed themselves up.
“You boys eat away. I’ll go check on your mother,” said Lysa. She was a little worried when she recalled how tired Roxanne looked the previous night.
However, the kids stopped her in her tracks when they heard what she said. “There is no need for that. Mommy is always tired after she has performed surgery. Let her sleep in. Wake her up only if she is still asleep in the afternoon.”Lysa hesitated for a moment, but she eventually agreed to do as they said.
She made sure the boys had their breakfast, then took them to the kindergarten.
It was rather late by the time she got home, but Roxanne was still sleeping.
Nevertheless, Lysa decided that she wouldn’t disturb Roxanne. She simply made some oatmeal so that the latter had something to eat when she woke
up.
Roxanne sprung up from her bed immediately after she woke up and saw the time.
It’s eleven o’clock, and the kids are late!
She was about to kick her blanket off when she recalled that she had already hired a housekeeper. The kids are probably at school already.
Strangely, Roxanne felt drained after she relaxed.
