Estella, Benny, and Archie rejoiced in silence after hearing what Roxanne had to say. They then turned to stare at Lucian.
Lucian smiled. “What a shame. I’ll take you guys there to eat next time.”
The kids jumped for joy upon hearing that.
Roxanne felt warm and fuzzy as she watched the scene before her. She didn’t say anything anymore and went downstairs to prepare dinner. Next, Lucian took the three kids and followed closely behind.
Estella, Archie, and Benny surrounded Lucian and looked at him with faces full of anticipation in the living room.
“Mr. Farwell, when can you become our daddy?”
Benny stared fixedly at Lucian.
Lucian caressed his head gently. “Soon. Don’t worry. I won’t let anyone else have the chance to become your father.”
Hearing that, Benny gave a small cheer.
Immediately, Estella chipped in, “Daddy, you must keep your promise this time!”
Lucian once promised Estella he would make Roxanne her mother, but Lucian had a fallout with Roxanne. In the end, Aubree was the one who ended up looking after her.
The incident had left a lingering fear in her heart.
Lucian turned to face Estella apologetically. “I will. It was all my fault last time. But I’ve thought things through now, so it won’t happen again.”
Estella puffed her cheeks and stared at her father with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
“Mr. Farwell.”
Archie stood at a corner and spoke in a serious tone. “Ms. Pearson and Ms. Queen will apologize to Mommy, right? Will they come and mess with Mommy again?”
In fact, he had wanted to ask when Lucian would call off his engagement with Aubree but decided to hint at it instead.
