Chapter 1173
Cayden was still feeling uneasy even after he had sessfully picked Archie
and Benny up from the kindergarten.
For some reason, he felt as though he could see Lucian’s shadow in their eyes
when they were staring at him earlier.
There’s no mistaking that suspicious look in their eyes.
They definitely think I’m hiding something! Sure enough, Archie asked the
moment he got into the car, “Mr.Lawson, is our mommy really with Mr.Farwell
right now?”
Unsure of what to say, Cayden pretended to not hear the boy’s question and
continued driving toward Roxanne’s house.
“Mr.Lawson, are you hiding something from us?”
Benny started questioning him as well.
Since they were unable to get any answers out of him, they beganing up
with their own theories in the back seat.
Fearing that they would end up hitting the nail on the head, Cayden said, “Why
would | lie to you two? Mr.Farwell gave Ms.Jarvis a batch of medicinal herbs for
her research, so she’s working overtime to take inventory.
| think Mr.Farwell has something to discuss with her.
That’s probably why he sent me to pick you two up instead.”
Archie and Benny exchanged uncertain nces when they heard that.
While they did find Cayden’s behavior somewhat strange, his exnation was
rather believable.
At the very least, it was something they actually wanted to see, so Archie and
Benny decided to believe in Cayden for the time being.
Even so, they still couldn’t shake the feeling of uneasiness in their gut.
“And here we thought something terrible had happened to Mommy!”
Cayden’s heart skipped a beat as he let out a forced chuckle.
“No way! Ms.Jarvis has been conducting research for so many years now! You
two should have more faith in her!”
Archie and Benny simply pursed their lips and smiled at him in response.
Neither of them asked any further questions on the way home.
Cayden was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Benny asked all of a sudden,
“By the way, Mr.Lawson, when will Mommy being back?”
That question caught himpletely off guard and caused him to break out ina
cold sweat.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
“W-Well, I’m not too sure about that.We might need to wait until she and
Mr.Farwell are done with their discussion.”
Fearing that they would bombard him with even more questions, Cayden added,
“Now, go on inside and wait.I’m sure Ms.Jarvis will try toe back as soon as
possible once she knows you two are home safe.”
With that statement, he was trying to convince the kids and at the same time
encourage Roxanne, who was currently fighting for dear life.
Cayden had no idea how Roxanne was doing at the hospital, but he believed
that she would not abandon her lovely and adorable sons.
Archie and Benny nodded obediently and waved goodbye at him.
Cayden’s face clouded over the moment he turned his back on them and
returned to the car.
Archie and Benny waited until his car had disappeared from sight before
entering the mansion.
“Archie, do you think Mr.Lawson was telling the truth?” Benny asked curiously.
Archie shook his head and replied with a tense expression, “I don’t know.”
Benny clutched his chest and said, “It feels ufortable over here...”
There was a worried look in Archie’s eyes when he saw his brother clutching his
chest.
He, too, had felt his heart racing ever since school was over, but he didn’t know
why.
That was when he recalled a theory he had read about the bond between
mothers and their children.
Oh, no...
Did something bad happen to Mommy? If that’s the case, why would Mr.Lawson
keep it from us? Hold on...
If Mr.Lawson came to pick us up from school, then Daddy must be with Mommy!
Yeah, I’m sure Daddy will take good care of Mommy!
