    Chapter 707 Let Us y A Game


    Archie held out the flower again hesitantly. “There are plenty of lilies in Mommy’s bouquet. That''s why | dared to take one of


    them.” Lucian’s brows furrowed as he finally understood what Archie meant.


    Someone obviously sent those flowers that Roxanne brought back as a thank-you gift. | was the one who misunderstood the


    whole thing. No wonder she flew into such a rage!


    Lucian’s expression rxed drastically after he realized the truth of the situation. He swept his gaze over to Roxanne, who was


    busy in the kitchen, then turned back and took the lily Archie was holding. “I’m sorry. | jumped to conclusions. Essie and | will


    stay for dinner.”


    With that, he set Este down. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Este shot her father a re before running off toward


    the kitchen to look for Roxanne.


    In the living room, Lucian held the lily taken from Roxanne’s bouquet of flowers with a frown. He and the boys stared at each


    other for some time.


    Archie and Benny could see Lucian’s frustration, and they snuck nces at each other with troubled looks in their eyes. Daddy


    and Mommy often argue, but it’s clear that Mommy is very angry this time. What can we do to help them make up?


    Over in the kitchen, Este clung to Roxanne’s leg. Roxanne, still fuming with anger, was perplexed when she saw Este


    running into the kitchen, looking aggrieved. “What''s the matter, Essie? Did the brothers bully you?”


    As she spoke, she cast a nce toward the door. That doesn’t make sense. The boys have always been fond of Essie, so why


    would they bully her? Apart from the boys, the only other possible culprit is Lucian.


    The next second, Este’s reply confirmed her suspicions. “It was Daddy! He’s a meanie!” Este said huffily,ining about


    her father to Roxanne.


    Este’s response did not surprise Roxanne. However, thetter was still curious about what caused Este to be so angry.


    “How was he mean to you?”


    Puffing out her cheeks, Este recounted what had happened angrily. “Daddy wanted to take me home and wouldn''t let me have


    dinner with you!”Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    A look of surprise shed across Roxanne’s eyes. Lucian did mention taking Essie home just now, but | already shot him down. |


    didn’t think he’d still go ahead with it. | wonder how she managed to run in here.


    As the thought went through her mind, she subconsciously lifted her gaze, worried that Lucian would suddenly barge in. Once


    she looked up, however, she spotted Archie and Benny standing at the kitchen doorway.


    “Mommy, let''s y a game together!” Benny said with a bright smile. His words threw Roxanne for a loop. Pursing his lips, Archie


    nodded solemnly. “Yes, let’s y a game!”


    Seeing that the usually serious Archie was also suggesting they y a game together made Roxanne even more confused. And


    for some reason, his cheeks are so flushed.


    Este burrowed into Roxanne’s arms and turned to look at Archie and Benny curiously. They were so anxious when Daddy


    nearly took me home, and I’m still mad about it. Yet, they want to y a game now. How strange.


    Just as Este was wondering what was going on, Benny winked at her discreetly and signaled for her to look through the


    doorway at Lucian. Getting his hint, she reluctantly nced at her father.
