“Mommy, why didn’t you pick us up in the afternoon?”
Lucian had picked the children up that day, and they had been asking for Roxanne the entire evening.
The second she returned, Benny immediately went to meet her at the door. His disappointment was written all over his face.
Seeing that, Roxanne forced a smile at them. “I was busy in the afternoon. I’ll pick you up once I’m done with my work.”
Lucian, who was observing them by the side, raised his brow. “Are you guys upset that I picked all of you up alone? Or maybe you prefer Mr. Lawson more?”
Upon hearing that, the children hurriedly hugged his thighs. “No! We don’t want Mr. Lawson. We want you, Daddy!”
“Run along and play, then,” said Lucian while patting their heads.
The children’s gazes shifted from Roxanne to Lucian. They could tell the adults had something to talk about, so they tactfully dispersed.
Lucian approached Roxanne and caressed her face. “Still no leads?”
