The rain had stopped when the two reached the parking lot.
The custom-made jacket Lucian used to shelter them from the rain was wet. Even his arms got soaked from the rain.
Standing by the side of the car, Roxanne watched him open the door and put his jacket on the back seat with no change in expression. After a moment of hesitation, she decided to sit in the passenger seat.
Soon, Lucian got into the car and drove toward her house.
“I wonder what they are doing now.”
Feeling uneasy by the silence inside the car, Roxanne quickly searched for a topic.
Lucian raised his eyes and glanced at her face reflected in the rearview mirror. “Cayden will take good care of them. You can call him if you’re worried.”
Roxanne grinned. “It’s okay. I believe Cayden will take good care of them.”
As they spoke about the kids, Roxanne couldn’t help but think of how they left without hesitation this morning.
She wondered what was on the kids’ minds when they did that and decided to find the answer when she got home.
…
Meanwhile, at the mansion, Cayden bought breakfast for the kids.
After breakfast, the three kids rushed upstairs and hid inside Archie and Benny’s room and started whispering among themselves.
“I wonder how Mommy is feeling now.”
A frown instantly creased Benny’s brow as he sounded worried.
Patting his brother on the shoulder, Archie comforted, “Didn’t Mommy already say she’s okay now? Moreover, there’s Daddy beside Mommy, so she’ll be fine.”
Estella nodded vigorously. “Daddy will take good care of—”
Suddenly, Estella faltered and looked at Archie and Benny timidly.
In response, Archie and Benny gave her an encouraging look.
