Chapter 451
Fortunately, Archie and Benny’s sadness didn’t last long.
They knew that Roxanne would be unhappy if they were upset.
After a few seconds of feeling disappointed for Estella, the boys began smiling again and opened their arms to Roxanne.
Roxanne put away her thoughts and beamed. She carried the boys into the car one after another, and Lysa sat with them in the back seat.
“Mommy, why didn’t you tell us you were coming to pick us up?” Benny asked gingerly.
While starting the car, Roxanne thought of her suspicious actions before and couldn’t help but feel a little guilty when she heard Benny’s words. “Well, it was a spontaneous decision.”
Benny tilted his head in confusion. “Aren’t you busy with work today?”
“I finished my work early today, so I suddenly decided to come and pick you guys up.” Roxanne tried her best to sound normal so that the boys wouldn’t suspect her.
As she spoke, Archie responded in a childish tone, “Mommy’s a liar.”
Roxanne was stunned when she heard that.
Benny also looked at Archie in confusion, wondering why he said that.
“You’ve been here for a long time, right?” Archie looked at Roxanne’s face reflected in the rearview mirror sternly.
Roxanne didn’t expect Archie to notice her and wanted to brush off the matter. “I saw you guys as soon as I arrived.”
However, Archie ignored her explanation and said, “If you wanted to pick us up, you should’ve informed Ms. Lane not to come. But Ms. Lane came, and you were late. You even said that you got off work early today. You must be hiding something from
us!”
Additionally, when Lucian came to fetch Estella just now, Archie heard her calling out to Roxanne.
