Chapter 1323
Roxanne felt Lucian's arms wrapped tightly around her, and her voice gradually grew weaker until only faint sobs were heard from her.
“Why... Why did you...”
Lucian was a man who had dominated the business world for many years, but in the face of Roxanne's tears and questioning, he had no idea how to respond. All he could do was apologize repeatedly.
“We want hugs too!” Archie and Benny exclaimed as they hopped around with joy.
Happiness was the only emotion left within them after all the crying.
To them, the hug they shared was a hug of joy and excitement.
Roxanne slowly recollected herself and felt slightly embarrassed when she heard the children's voices.
I can't believe I cried so hard in front of the kids...
She then looked at Estella's tear-streaked face as the little girl nestled in her arms and couldn't help breaking into a smile.
She's back! My little angel whom I thought I lost is back, and she's right in my arms!
Roxanne swore to herself that she would never abandon Estella ever again.
The grim look in Lucian's eyes eased away when he saw Roxanne smiling.
Noticing Archie and Benny's eagerness to give them a hug, Lucian bent over and embraced the two little boys as a look of tenderness surfaced in his eyes.
At that moment, Archie and Benny were filled with joy, for they found their sister and were hugged by their father.
All of a sudden, Lucian let go of them.
Just as the two boys were confused as to what was going on, a shiny thing appeared in their line of sight.
Upon taking a closer look, they realized it was the ring that Lucian had used to propose moments ago.
“Can you please do me a favor and put this ring on your Mommy's finger?”
Lucian's tone carried an unprecedented gentleness that Archie and Benny had never heard before.
