Chapter 799 Stay And Look After Mommy
Meanwhile, Madilyn was keeping Archie and Benny company at Roxanne’s house while waiting for her to come home. The two kids would usually pester her to play games with them, but that wasn’t the case that night.
For some reason, they both seemed distracted and barely paid attention to what she was saying. Madilyn pretended to get mad at them and asked, “What’s the matter with you two? Do you not like me anymore?”
Archie and Benny shook their heads. “We do, Aunt Madilyn.” “Then tell me what’s wrong. Why do you two look like you’re in a bad mood?” Madilyn pressed on patiently.
“W-We’re just worried about Mommy. We don’t want her to end up drinking too much. Don’t mind us, Aunt Madilyn,” they replied while exchanging nervous glances with each other.
In reality, they were wondering if Lucian managed to catch up to Roxanne or if he allowed her to be with Jack instead. They were especially concerned since Lucian and Roxanne had gotten into a fight before leaving the house.
Madilyn could tell that the kids didn’t feel like talking, so she decided to stop asking any further and sat down beside them.
I thought I finally understood Roxanne’s relationship with Lucian, but that argument they had earlier left me all confused…
The three of them were waiting on the couch when a car pulled up outside the mansion.
Madilyn was the first to snap out of her daze and glanced at the clock. It’s half past ten! Who could be coming over at this hour?
“Is Mommy home?” Archie and Benny asked in unison.
Roxanne should be able to open the door on her own if she’s home…
