Chapter 1135
Archie and Benny didn’t see Estella for another day and didn’t hear from her.
Even though the three of them had previously agreed to get Lucian and Roxanne to reconcile, they had no visibility on Lucian’s situation without any feedback from Estella.
It was evident that Roxanne had no desire to patch things up with Lucian.
The boys couldn’t help but worry about the current state of affairs.
After dinner, both of them returned to their room earlier than usual.
“Archie, why don’t we go and see Daddy?” Benny suggested. “If he knows that we’re his sons, I’m sure he will come and see Mommy.”
Even though Archie was anxious for his parents to reconcile, he rejected his brother’s suggestion without any hesitation, “Mommy must have her reasons for hiding the truth from Daddy. If we were to reveal it to him, we would definitely hurt Mommy’s feelings.”
Benny cupped his glum-looking face with his hands. “What should we do, then? We also have no idea what’s going on at Essie’s side.”
Just as they were discussing, a sudden knock was heard at the door.
It was then followed by Roxanne’s voice.
“Archie, Benny, are you asleep? Can I come in?”
The boys held their tongues instantly as they got up to open the door.
Upon entering the room, Roxanne gave both of them a look of concern. “What’s going on with the two of you? Are you mad because of what happened yesterday?”
Usually, they would have stayed back and accompanied her at the table after dinner.
If they went up straight, it was clear that something was bothering them.
The boys exchanged glances.
Both of them had been discussing how to get Lucian and Roxanne to reconcile, a topic that they could never share with their mother.
For a moment, neither of them said a word.
