“How are things over there? I'm sorry for what happened. I acted without thinking about the consequences.”
Roxanne heard Lucian apologizing the moment she answered the call.
The kids were leaning on her thighs and staring at her as they waited to hear Lucian's response.
However, Roxanne simply patted them on the head and made her way into the kitchen.
Realizing that she wanted to speak to Lucian in private, the kids knew better than to follow her.
After finding a quiet spot in the kitchen, Roxanne lowered her voice to a whisper as she said, “I know you did it to protect us, but that announcement was a little too sudden. Besides, Archie and Benny—”
Lucian cut her off, “It was my idea. Archie and Benny are going to become my children eventually anyway, so I figured I would grant them that identity right away.”
That was one of the reasons he made that announcement.
A lot of people would surely gossip about Roxanne when she married into the Farwell family with Archie and Benny.
Since nobody would dare investigate the Farwell family, Lucian decided to announce that they were his kids.
Roxanne found herself wavering a little when she heard that.
Instead of waiting for her to respond, Lucian continued, “Are the kids scared?”
Instead of waiting for her to respond, Lucian continued, “Are the kids scared?”
Roxanne nodded. “It's the first time they've seen something like this. I told them to stay indoors, though. As bold as those journalists may be, they wouldn't dare force their way into the house. As long as we don't step out the door, they won't be able to do anything to us.”
“I'm the reason this whole thing happened, so I'll figure out a solution as soon as possible,” Lucian said after a brief pause.
