    Chapter 1652 Be Good And Stay Home


    Lucian replied to every single one of the children''s innocent questions.


    Although he had already expected those questions, and it was not hard for him to answer them, he still felt exhausted after doing


    so.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    When faced with the children''s naive and innocent expressions, it required a lot of energy on his part toe up with lies.


    “Daddy, can''t we go look for Mommy?” Este suddenly asked.


    She and Roxanne had only reunited not long ago, so she was unwilling to be apart from the woman, especially after knowing


    that Roxanne had left for such a faraway ce.


    Lucian''s expression stiffened when he heard her question. He almost could not hold back and let his sadness burst out.


    Yet he stayed silent for a few moments. Suppressing those emotions, he pretended everything was fine as he looked at the


    children.


    “I''m quite busy these days, so | can''t take you. Your mommy will probably be gone for only a week. She''ll be back when you go


    on break.”


    With that, he quickly averted his gaze and pretended to be focused on eating dinner, afraid the children would see through his


    lie.


    Luckily, the children did not think too much about it. They were just a little disappointed.


    “Why does Mommy have to be gone for so long? | hope she''ll already be waiting for us at home when wee back on Friday


    night...”


    The emotions that Lucian had tried his best to suppress stirred within him once more. The pain he felt was too great that it made


    him breathless.


    He gulped before replying, “She will. When youe back, your mommy will definitely be waiting at home for you.”


    The children thought he was tired, so they quieted down and helped to put food on his te.


    Lucian felt his heart grow heavier. The food he ate was now unappetizing.


    After dinner, the children clung to him and wanted him to y with them for a while.


    However, Lucian could not bear to face the children a moment longer. Steeling his heart, he handed the children over to Catalina


    and prepared to head out.


    “Daddy, where are you going?” Archie asked in confusion when he saw Lucian heading for the door. “Are you not going to rest at


    home tonight?”


    A pained look shed across Lucian''s eyes when he heard Archie''s question. He stopped and rubbed his temples to control his


    expression before turning to look at the young boy.


    “| have something to discuss with Mr. Queen, so I''ll sleep over at his ce tonight. Be good, listen to Ms. Catalina, and go to bed


    early.”


    Archie stared at his father, taking in thetter''s expression. Daddy is acting weird.


    “Daddy, did something happen at thepany?”


    He recalled Roxanne''s previous behavior and thought Lucian had met with a problem at work.


    Lucian went along with the flow and answered, “Yeah, but it''s not a big problem. | can handle it myself. It''s just that I''ll be a bit


    busy these two days.”


    Lucian still remembered how the children cried their eyes out when something happened to Roxanne thest time.


    There''s no need for them to know about it this time. They only need to be obedient, stay home, and wait...


    The children pushed away their thoughts of having fun, and their expressions turned serious when they heard that something


    had happened at Lucian''spany.


    Este stepped forward and hugged Lucian, encouraging him in a sweet voice, “Good luck, Daddy! You are the best!”


    Archie and Benny hugged him too.


    Lucian wrapped the three children in his embrace as he slowly calmed down. ‘I got it. I''ll do my best.”


    With that, he ruffled the children''s hair and asked Catalina to take them to y. Then, he got in his car and left.
