Chapter 1156
Upon returning to their mansion, Roxanne went to prepare dinner while the boys ran upstairs.
"Archie, was Mommy lying to us just now?"
Benny could not help but ask his older brother right after he closed the bedroom door.
Archie frowned, his countenance utterly taut.
I sensed that there was something very weird about Mommy's tone and expression as well when she answered us just now.
In fact, she even avoided our gazes on purpose.
It's obvious that Mommy lied to us, but why? Could it be that Essie is having a tough time? Or could it be that Mommy didn't go to see Essie? The boys could not stop thinking about those two possibilities.
"Should we visit Essie ourselves?"
Benny anxiously put forth a suggestion when he did not get a response from his older brother after a long wait.
Archie shook his head.
"Let's ask Mommy first.There must be a reason she lied to us."
Mommy has been acting very weirdly ever since we came home today.
Could it be that she bumped into Daddy when she went to see Essie? At the thought of that possibility, he cast a glance at Benny and decided against voicing his speculation after a few seconds of hesitation.
His younger brother was too impulsive in matters concerning Estella.
Since he was worried about her as well, he was afraid that Benny would sway him should he divulge his conjecture.
In their bedroom, Archie and Benny discussed ways to get their mother to tell them the truth.
In the meantime, Aubree, beside herself with fury, was driving toward Roxanne's house.
Earlier in the afternoon, she had gone to the research institute.
