Chapter 779
Chapter 779 Breathed A Sigh Of Relief
In the living room, Lucian likewise stayed up the entire night. Early the next morning, the children saw Roxanne in the room as soon as they woke up.
“Mommy!” Benny cried out in a juvenile voice. Then, he added happily, “I dreamed about you last night!” When Roxanne heard that, her expression stiffened for a moment.
If I’m not wrong, the so-called dream he had of me refers to when he came out of the room last night. If he were to learn that it wasn’t a dream, I wonder what he would think…
While she was fretting about that, Benny’s voice rang out once more. “Hmm, it doesn’t seem like a dream.”
After saying that, he lifted his head and stared at her with curiosity etched across his features. “Did I go out of the room last night, Mommy?”
As he spoke, a mixture of emotions brewed within Roxanne. Upon hearing that question, she instinctively wanted to deny it. But on second thought, it occurred to her that she couldn’t possibly fool Archie and Benny. Therefore, she could only nod helplessly.Sá´‡aÊ€*á´„h the FindNøvá´‡l.ná´‡t website on Gøøglá´‡ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“I saw you and Mr. Farwell in the living room. What were you two talking about, Mommy?” Benny wore an innocent expression on his face.
Words eluded Roxanne.
I just knew that he would ask that, but I never expected him to be so straightforward.
As the events of last night replayed in her mind, Roxanne’s face gradually flushed bright red.
Archie and Estella were entirely ignorant of whatever happened last night. The instant they heard Benny speaking of it, curiosity showed on their faces.
Upon noticing the blush staining her face right then, they were all the more eager to hear her answer.
We’ve already tried our utmost best, but their relationship remained stagnant. We initially thought they would persist in a stalemate for a long time, but from what Benny said, they were alone last night. In addition, one of them even blushed at the mention of the events that transpired yesterday night!
No matter how naïve they were, they could still surmise that something must have happened last night.
Sensing their enthusiastic gazes, Roxanne felt all the more conflicted.
Just as she was wondering how she should explain things to them, someone pushed open the door from outside. Subsequently, Lucian walked in with a frown.
At the sight of him, the children grew significantly sedate. Conversely, Roxanne had mixed feelings about it.
His sudden appearance meant that she no longer had to face the trio’s interrogation alone.
But at the same time, she couldn’t help recalling the events that transpired last night when she laid eyes on him. Tensing all over, she reflexively avoided Lucian’s gaze.
“Good morning, Mr. Farwell,” Archie and Benny greeted Lucian politely.
Lucian inclined his head a fraction. His gaze then swept over Roxanne before stilling on the children. “How do you all feel? Is there still any discomfort?”
In response, the children shook their heads obediently. “Nope!”
Only then did Roxanne belatedly jolt back to her senses.
As soon as they woke up, they started interrogating me relentlessly to the point that I forgot all about checking them over. I only remember now after listening to their conversation with Lucian.
In light of her concern for the children’s condition, she suppressed the strange feeling within her. Under the different looks in the eyes of Lucian and the trio, she walked over to the latter. “Let me check you guys over.”
It was clear as day that the children had all recovered fully. Hearing that, they docilely lifted their arms and allowed her to check them over. All the while, they stared at her with merriment dancing in their eyes. Roxanne forced herself to ignore their gazes and checked them over, one after another. Upon seeing that the red spots on their bodies had already faded, she breathed a sigh of relief.
