Chapter 612
Over the next few days, when Lysa fetched Archie and Benny home from school, they would always run into the same employee from the flower shop.
Despite Roxanne’s repeated instructions to send the flowers back, Lysa stubbornly carried each bouquet into the house to show Roxanne.
Lysa believed the flowers represented Lucian’s feelings, and even if Roxanne had no plans to accept them, she needed to see proof of his sincerity with her own eyes.
Several failed deliveries later, the employee from the flower shop simply waited longer outside Roxanne’s house to receive the returned flowers, saving Lysa a trip to the florist’s. When the weekend rolled along, Roxanne thought Lucian would finally stop sending her flowers, so she was surprised to hear someone ringing her doorbell early in the morning
Lysa had taken the weekend off, leaving just Roxanne and her two boys at home. Thus, no one went to open the door at first.
Roxanne opened her eyes groggily, conflicting emotions churning in her chest as she listened to the persistent ringing of the doorbell.
The flower shop’s employee always showed up at this time to deliver Lucian’s flowers.
Roxanne thought about leaving the door unanswered, believing it would clearly convey her feelings about the flowers to the employee. However, she suddenly heard the pitter-patter of footsteps in the living room.
The doorbell stopped ringing abruptly, followed by the muffled sounds of her children’s voices.
“Hello. How can I help you?”
Archie and Benny had been awake for a while, but they obediently stayed in their room so they would not disturb their mother’s slumber.
When the doorbell rang, they worried it would wake Roxanne up, so they hurried downstairs to answer the door. They did not even check who their visitor was before opening the door. The boys were at a loss for words when they spotted a massive bouquet of roses filling the doorway.
Archie and Benny might be young, but even they knew what a gift of roses meant.
Someone gave Mommy roses!
The boys exchanged curious glances. Are we getting a new daddy soon?
As the same thought crossed their mind, the boys simultaneously turned to the door.
They were about to ask who had sent the flowers when Roxanne’s voice rang out behind them. “Please send the flowers back.”
The boys jumped in surprise at their mother’s voice.
Mommy’s sending the flowers back without even looking at them?
Roxanne dared not look at her sons’ expressions as she walked to the mansion’s door and smiled politely at the flower shop’s employee. “Thank you, and sorry for the trouble.” The employee stared at Roxanne in awe.
He was finally seeing the mysterious recipient of his week-long flower delivery.
The woman before him wore a simple but elegant nightgown. Her long hair was artfully disheveled, while her features were so striking that even without makeup, it
was impossible to tear one’s eyes away from her face.
One look and the employee immediately understood why Lucian sent his unwilling recipient flowers with such dogged determination.
Just then, Benny asked innocently, “Sir, may I know who sent these flowers?”
The employee snapped out of his trance and looked at the two boys before him. He was about to reply to Benny’s question when Roxanne interjected, “If there’s nothing else, I’m bringing the children in. Sorry.” With that, Roxanne closed the door on the employee.Sá´‡aʀᴄh thá´‡ Æ’ind ηøᴠel.ná´‡t website on Gøøglá´‡ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
She did not want her children to learn of Lucian’s flower deliveries.
“Mommy?” Archie and Benny stared at their mother in confusion after she abruptly closed the door.
Roxanne acted as though nothing was amiss as she ruffled the boys’ hair and said, “T don’t know who gave me the flowers either, but I don’t plan on keeping them.”
The boys exchanged a suspicious glance.
They knew their mother too well, and she did not react as though this was her first anonymous flower delivery.
In fact, she even seemed scared to see the flowers.
What is Mommy so scared about?
