My Ex-Wife and Kids Came In Like A Wrecking Ball novel Chapter 1706

Byron looked to the side once more but met Lucian's gaze.

Their eyes met. As stoic as Byron was, he was stunned for a moment. "Are you still awake?"

He thought that the three little ones were all asleep.

Lucian's eyes were red, but he put on a sullen face, trying to look serious.

"Daddy, the truth is, Mommy has been sick for days, hasn't she?"

Byron's expression froze slightly, hesitating whether to tell the truth to the little boy.

Lucian was indeed the most mature of the three children.

The best way to confess to Lucian would be to explain the situation to him first.

However, the boy had just finished crying so badly. Byron felt that this was not a good time to confess.

After a few moments of silence, Byron finally continued withholding the truth. "No, don't think too much. Mommy just has a cold and a fever. She’ll get better soon."

Just as he finished speaking, the little boy questioned him again, "But Mommy has never been on such a long business trip before."

Byron said without changing his expression, "That's because she was worried nobody would take care of you if she left for too long. Now that she has Daddy, she can rest assured."

When Lucian heard this, he had a thoughtful expression on his face.

‘Indeed. Last time, Mommy wouldn’t travel for too long because we were waiting for her at home.

‘Now that we’re living with Daddy, Mommy can feel at ease.

‘But...’

He just felt that something was not right.

Byron was driving as he looked at the little guy in the rearview mirror occasionally. There was hesitation in his heart.
