Chapter 1507
Roxanne had a hesitant look in her eyes as she asked, “I want to know what you think of Archie and Benny. Tell me honestly, did you only choose to accept them because of me?”
“You know me. Except for Essie, I have no patience for kids in general. But things are different with Archie and Benny. I'm not sure if it's because they have your blood running through their veins, but I felt an odd sense of closeness with them the moment I first saw them,” Lucian replied without any hesitation.
He then released his grip on Roxanne as he continued, “I was prepared to accept them the moment I first saw them. It's just as I said in the announcement. From now on, I will treat them as our children, which is no different from how I treat Essie.”
Roxanne felt a wave of melancholy sweep over her when she heard that.
Lucian said he felt a sense of closeness with them because they're my children, but in reality, they're his children too... Who would've thought being related by blood would have such a strong effect on people? Lucian has been proving his words with the way he treats Archie and Benny. If Sonya can genuinely accept Archie and Benny into the family, then I will tell Lucian the truth about their identities. I will let him know that Archie and Benny are our children!
Lucian had his arm around her waist as he observed the changes in her expression.
While he couldn't tell what she was thinking, the firm yet gentle look in her eyes caused his heart to skip a beat.
As Lucian slowly moved his hand up to her face, Roxanne went along with his movement and got closer to him.
The sexual tension between them increased as the two of them got closer to each other.
Their lips were about to touch when a childish voice called out to Roxanne from above.
“Mommy! You're back—”
