His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96

She was busy taking care of Estella when her phone rang in her bag

Afraid Estella would rousc, she immediately covered Estella’s ears and was about to get up to take her phone. To her surprise, Lucian got to his feet and came over to her with her phone.

“Thank you,” Roxanne thanked him softly.

Glancing at the screen, she immediately berated herself for forgetting about her sons.

“Mommy!” the boys yelled the minute the call connected. “When are you coming home?”

Roxanne lowered her voice. “I’m busy tonight, so I might come home late. Have you had dinner?”

The boys replied, “Yes, we did. What about you? Don’t forget to take care of yourself even if you’re busy!”

Touched, Roxanne chuckled. “I know. I’ve eaten earlier. Don’t wait up for me. Good night!”“Got it, Mommy. Try to come home as early as possible. Don’t tire yourself out!” the boys responded in unison.

Her lips curved into a grin. Roxanne chatted with them briefly before hanging up.

Beside her, Lucian heard the boys’ voices faintly and placed his work aside. He looked at her and was about to ask whether she had to head home to take care of them, but the sight of her tender

expression made him change his mind.

“Who normally takes care of the boys when you’re busy? Do they stay at home? Or do you hire someone to take care of them?” he asked.

Roxanne told him, “My friend helps out. Now, Lysa will take care of them.”

Lucian asked, “Was it the same when you were working overseas?”

Despite not knowing why he posed that question, Roxanne answered instinctively, “I’d hire someone to take care of them or bring them to my workplace. My colleagues loved them.”

Right after those words left her mouth, the living room went silent again.
