Chapter 800 Their Motive
Madilyn fell speechless when she heard that. What? I have to go to work early tomorrow? It wasn’t until she noticed Archie and Benny winking at her that she understood what they were playing at.
“As much as I would love to stay and look after Roxanne, the workload at the hospital has been pretty crazy lately. Would you be able to look after her for me, Mr. Farwell? If not, I’ll have no choice but to take a day off tomorrow,” she said with a sigh.
Feeling satisfied that Madilyn was playing along, the kids shifted their gaze back to Lucian and waited for his reply.
Since he had intended to stay and look after Roxanne all along, he simply met their expectant gazes and nodded in response.
This is a little strange, though… I remember Archie and Benny being mad at me for a really long time when I casually mentioned their biological father. I thought they’d hate me very much, and yet, they’ve beer helping me win Roxanne back lately. In fact, they’re putting in as much effort as Estella. With my daughter, things are a lot simpler. All she wants is for Roxanne to be her mother. With Archie and Benny, on the other hand, I have no idea why they’re doing this. People might think they like me very much and want me to be their father, but I have a feeling it’s more than that. I think it’s because they care about Estella and want to become her family. As a result, they’d rather have me be their father than put up with some random stranger.
Madilyn was about to leave but got a little worried when she saw Lucian just standing there with Roxanne in his arms.
“You should help her to her room,” she reminded him. Honestly, I’m starting to question if leaving her with him is the right thing to do…
Hearing her voice snapped Lucian out of his train of thought. He then nodded at her and carried Roxanne up the stairs.
Madilyn, Archie, and Benny quickly followed behind out of concern.Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Findnøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
After watching Lucian lay Roxanne down on the bed, Madilyn reminded him to take good care of her before leaving the house.
As she was walking out the door, Madilyn couldn’t help but wonder if Roxanne knew her kids were secretly helping Lucian.
Could it be that the boys have found out about Lucian being their father? If that’s the case, I wonder how Roxanne would feel when she finds out they’ve been helping him…
Archie and Benny had no idea Madilyn had figured all of that out. With the most innocent looks on their faces, they stood there in Roxanne’s bedroom and watched Lucian look after her. After tucking Roxanne in, Lucian bent over to feed her some water before getting back up. He paused in surprise when he turned around and saw the kids staring at him.
Archie and Benny, too, froze when their gazes met all of a sudden.
A few seconds later, they were able to regain their composure and smile at Lucian as if nothing happened.
Lucian frowned. “You two…”
Archie and Benny tensed up but tried their best to maintain their innocent expressions as they asked, “What’s wrong?”
