“Hello, Mr. Queen.” As soon as Jonathan stepped into the house, Catalina greeted him with a troubled look. “The children are upstairs. I have no idea what happened these two days. Mr. and Mrs. Farwell haven't been back, and the children are in a bad mood.”
Of course, Jonathan was aware of the reason for their bad mood.
He looked up at the second floor, only to feel worse. For a moment, he did not know how to break the news to them.
However, time was of the essence. He had no time to hesitate.
Nodding at Catalina, Jonathan said, “I'll go upstairs and check on them.”
Catalina murmured a response in acknowledgement.
Jonathan strode upstairs.
At that moment, the three children were sitting in the bedroom, looking dejected.
Estella cast Archie an uneasy look. “Archie, I'm scared. What happened to Mommy? Why isn't she home yet?”
Archie knitted his brows and comforted her, “Don't be scared. Mommy said she's just having a fever. Besides, Daddy will take good care of her. Don't you trust Daddy?”
A look of hesitation flashed across Estella's and Benny's eyes.
They trusted Lucian.
However, Roxanne did not look like she was having a fever. Moreover, they had not been able to contact her for the past few days.
Taking in his siblings' worried faces, Archie pursed his lips and racked his brains for a solution.
He had promised Lucian he would take good care of Benny and Estella, which included their physical and emotional health.
While his mind was racing, a knock sounded on the door.
