    Chapter 702 Refrain From Eating That


    “Hello, Mr. Farwell,” Archie and Benny greeted when they came to their senses.


    Lucian nodded slightly. “Is your mommy not back yet?”


    The kids nodded obediently and nced at each other guiltily. They had thought


    that it was Roxanne who had returned and almost screamed when they opened


    the door.


    Fortunately, Este had greeted Lucian first, saving them from embarrassing


    themselves. Lucian’s frown deepened when he saw their reactions. “What did


    you guys have for lunch, then?”


    As he asked, he scanned the house and saw the bucket of fried chicken on the


    dining table.


    “We had drumsticks!” Este was still reveling in the excitement of eating fast


    food for the first time and did not realize the look on Lucian’s face. “It was


    delicious!”


    Lucian’s eyes darkened when he heard his daughter’s answer. He then lowered


    his head and looked at the three children. Not only were their faces covered in


    grease, but they were also all smiling in satisfaction.

    Evidently, they were extremely happy with what they had for lunch. Lucian


    suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, “Who sent them?”


    Este turned toward Archie and Benny. Although she knew Madilyn, she didn’t


    know how to introduce her to Lucian. Seeing that Este was keeping mum,


    Lucian thought the children had ordered takeout on their own.


    Right then, Benny piped up, “It was our godmother! Mommy told her to send us


    food.”


    Lucian knitted his brows and gave it some thought. I think I know who their


    godmother is. Disdain shed across Lucian’s eyes when he recalled the


    previous time he met Madilyn. That woman doesn’t look reliable.


    Having learned that it wasn’t Roxanne’s idea to feed the children fast food,


    Lucian said in a gentler tone, “Don’t eat too much of this in the future.”


    The children weren’t pleased when they heard those words.


    Este tilted her head in confusion and asked, “But why? It’s really, really


    yummy.” She looked at Lucian aggrievedly. “Unlike me, Archie and Benny had it


    before. Why didn’t you ever let me try it, Daddy?”


    Feeling a headacheing, Lucian pinched the space between his brows and


    replied, “It’s unhealthy.”


    Besides, with their social status, they never needed to go out and buy food as


    such.


    In fact, Este had fried chicken before. It was just a healthier version prepared


    by their in-house chef.


    Este wasn’t satisfied with that answer. She blinked and wanted to tug at


    Lucian’s shirt sleeve to question further, but Lucian pushed her back the


    moment she approached him.


    Este felt even more aggrieved when he did that.


    “Take off your gloves. They’re dirty,” Lucian said.


    Only then did Este realize what was going on. She slowly took off her pair of


    gloves, then returned to stand before Lucian once again after Archie and Benny


    brought her away to wash her hands.


    This time, Lucian didn’t stop her from approaching him.


    Este tugged at Lucian’s shirt sleeve and uttered in a piping voice, “Why is it


    that Archie and Benny are allowed to—”


    Hearing that she was asking about the fried chicken again, Lucian interrupted


    expressionlessly, “They’ll have to refrain from eating that from now on.”


    Archie’s and Benny’s faces fell. Daddy is good in any way, but he abandoned us


    in the past, and now, he’s even stopping us from eating fried chicken…
