The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 790

Chapter 790 There Is Still A Possibility
After ending the call and noticing that it was about time, Roxanne headed downstairs to prepare dinner for the children.
Archie and Benny were sitting on the carpet, playing with Lego.
When they saw their mother, they exchanged a brief glance, but they did not continue bombarding her with questions.
“I have work to do tomorrow night. Aunt Madilyn will be keeping you company, okay?” Roxanne told Archie and Benny about the arrangements for the tomorrow night over dinner.
Upon hearing that, they looked at her in puzzlement. “Why do you have to leave at night? Is it a business-related social event?”
Roxanne had never hidden anything about work from Archie and Benny. She said patiently, “There are new developments for the project that I’m working on with Mr. Damaris. I need to attend a contract signing ceremony tomorrow.”
Archie and Benny looked at each other as the same question surfaced in their minds. “Will Mr. Damaris be there too?”
We still remember Mr. Damaris! He’s Daddy’s love rival.
Roxanne nodded noncommittally. “Mr. Damaris will be with me.”
Immediately after she said that, she noticed a strange expression on the children’s faces.
“What’s wrong?” she asked in confusion.
Archie and Benny shook their heads quickly before looking at her and asking a question that gave her a huge headache, “Mommy, will you let Mr. Damaris be our daddy?”
Since we don’t know if Daddy has asked that question before, we’ll find out on his behalf!
Looking at Archie’s and Benny’s earnest expressions, Roxanne could not help but think about Lucian’s face.
Although the children had asked a question that was completely different from his, they were fundamentally asking the same thing.
When the children mentioned Lucian, there was a strangely wary look on their faces.
Roxanne suspected that the boys had already found out about their identities.
She asked tentatively, “Do you want Mr. Damaris to be your daddy?”
Archie and Benny were dumbfounded.
Since Mommy didn’t deny it outright, it means that there’s still a possibility… If that’s the case, Daddy’s in danger.
However, to prevent Roxanne from suspecting that they knew about their identities, Archie and Benny deliberately revealed an innocent smile. “We’ll listen to you, Mommy! You’ll definitely find a great Daddy for us!”
Roxanne stared at Archie and Benny for a while but could not detect anything strange about them. Still having her doubts, she nodded and forgot to explain about her relationship with Jack to them.
While the children mulled over Roxanne’s replies over the meal, they could not help but feel worried for their father.
Roxanne found it strange when she noticed how unenthusiastic they were. However, she could not put a finger on it.
“Mommy, we’re full! We’ll head upstairs first!” After shoving some food into their mouths, they jumped down from their chairs.
Roxanne felt even more puzzled.
Archie and Benny don’t usually eat so little. What’s wrong with them today?
Realizing that they had acted overly nervous, they quickly came up with an excuse. “We didn’t sleep well last night. We’re tired.”
Archie and Benny looked dazed as they spoke.
Recalling the fiasco from the night before, Roxanne nodded in agreement without giving it much thought.
However, looking at how briskly they climbed the stairs, Roxanne thought they did not seem exhausted at all.
