Chapter 497


    Sleeping Beauty, with Ms. Jarvis.


    Lucian replied and tagged Roxanne in his reply. His reply caused quite a stir within the group, given


    that he was usually a group chat ghost.


    Roxanne was about to move on when she saw the tag notification. Surprised, she went back into the


    group chat and read Lucian’s reply.


    There was a long period of silence after Lucian’s reply, and the active exchange in that group suddenly


    died down. Roxanne had no idea if the other parents were too stunned by Lucian’s involvement or if


    they were waiting for her reply.


    She stared at Lucian’s message for a long time, frowning slightly as she spected on Lucian’s


    intention. Troubled and confused, she finally decided not to pay attention to that group chat and went


    offline.


    Archie and Benny were quietly sitting next to Roxanne, observing her. They became anxious when they


    detected her mood change, worried that she would decide to withdraw from the y.


    “We’re sleepy, Mommy. Can we go back to our room?” The boys pretended to yawn while they secretly


    watched for Roxanne’s reaction.


    Roxanne’s mind stopped wandering, and her attention was sessfully directed back to the boys. She


    rubbed their heads lovingly and said, “Sure. Let’s have an early night. Mommy will send you to school


    tomorrow.”


    The boys’ eyes lit up upon hearing that, and they excitedly nodded their heads.


    Roxanne put on a forced smile, brought the kids to their room, and tucked them in.


    After she left and the boys heard her closing the door to her room, they cautiously opened their eyes


    and sat up in their beds.


    “Archie, do you know the story about Sleeping Beauty?” Benny stared at Archie in the dark and asked,


    curious.


    The boys had noticed Roxanne’s mood changes throughout the evening.


    When she heard they were in the same group as Lucian, she was a little apprehensive but epted


    withoutints.


    However, after realizing the y they were going to do was Sleeping Beauty, Roxanne became visibly


    troubled.


    Moreover, she refused to tell them the storyline.


    Archie thought about it briefly and climbed out of his bed. He turned on theputer and said, “We can


    go online to search for it!”


    Benny’s eyes lit up and he hurried over to Archie’s side.


    Archie quickly typed in the search word, and in no time, they found what they were looking for.


    The two stared at the screen intently, reading about the story. At the end of the story, there was an


    illustration. Sleeping Beauty was lying in bed, dressed in a pretty gown, and the prince was bent over


    her, giving her a kiss.


    The boys blinked their eyes as their little brains processed the information. They reckoned they had


    found the reason for Roxanne’s resistance to the y.


    The boys knew Roxanne and Lucian would take the roles of Sleeping Beauty and the prince. Since she


    disliked him, she would definitely not want to be acting out that kissing scene with him,


    The boys felt bad for Roxanne. They wanted her to participate in the y with them so Este could


    get to spend time with her. However, they also understood her hesitation about being kissed by Lucian


    in the y.


    Daddy and Mommy kissing…


    The boys turned to look at one another, and their eyes sparkled with anticipation.

    Although they did not really like Lucian, deep in their heart, they wished to see their family being united.


    They began to look forward to seeing their parents being together, especially their intimate interaction.
