Chapter 1440


    Lucian had a gloomy look on his face as he stared at the screen of hisputer.


    He was looking at a video of the journalists swarming Roxanne’s house and the research institute.


    Lucian did not expect his actions to cause Roxanne so much trouble.


    He was snapped out of his train of thought when the door to his office opened all of a sudden.


    Lucian looked up at the door in displeasure. He was about to say something when Madilyn yelled, “Get over here, Lucian! You


    owe me an exnation for the announcement online!”


    She then walked up to Lucian and mmed both hands down on his desk while ring daggers at him.


    Lucian frowned slightly as he stared back at her in confusion.


    After taking a few seconds to recall that Madilyn was Roxanne’s best friend, he suppressed his anger and politely motioned for


    her to sit down. “Please have a seat.”


    Naturally, Madilyn was not in the mood to sit down at that moment. “No, you exin this to me first! Since when have my


    godsons be your sons?”


    She actually meant to ask Lucian when he found out about their true identities and how he won Roxanne’s heart over.


    However, Lucian’s response caught her off guard and left her speechless.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “They may not be my biological children, but it’s only a matter of time before they address me as their father. | will treat them as


    my own, so you don’t have to worry about a thing,” he said patiently while massaging his aching forehead.


    Madilyn froze.


    Huh? What does he mean by that? Does he still not know Archie and Benny are actually his children? Then, what''s with the


    announcement from Farwell Group...


    That was when Madilyn recalled the search results when she looked up Roxanne’s name online.


    Most of them were questioning Roxanne’s rtionship with Jack and the true identities of Archie and Benny.


    Did Lucian make that announcement just to protect them?


    Madilyn felt slightly better at the thought of that, but she wasn’t about to let Lucian off the hook that easily. “What about the


    journalists gathered outside Roxanne’s house, then? What do you n on doing about them?”


    After all, Lucian was the reason those journalists were there.


    Instead of answering her question, Lucian simply shot Cayden a nce in response.


    Cayden had a conflicted look on his face as he said, “I’ve already given the press a warning, but they...”


    There was no way the media would sit around and do nothing after Farwell Group made such a shocking announcement.


    It was only natural that the journalists would be fighting to get a scoop.


    Nobody was willing to give up on that golden opportunity, and that mentality resulted in the crowd of journalists getting bigger


    and bigger over time.


    There was nothing Cayden could do about it at that point.


    Madilyn and Lucian understood what he was trying to say even though he didn’t finish his sentence.


    “What will Roxanne and the kids do? They can’t just stay home forever!” she eximed anxiously.


    “I''ll go pick them up,” Lucian replied with a grim expression as he stood up and grabbed his coat.


    After taking a moment to recover from their shock, Madilyn and Cayden quickly stepped in front of him to stop him.


    “Those journalists just want an answer, be it from me or Roxanne. They''ll leave once they get it,” Lucian said while staring at


    them with a straight face.


    Cayden knew he couldn’t let Lucian do that, but he didn’t know how to talk thetter out of it, so he decided to let Madilyn do the


    talking.


    “Do you really think an answer is all they want? Roxanne is the main focus of this incident, so they''d still continue to pester her


    even if you showed up!” Madilyn eximed.
