    Chapter 707 Let Us y A Game


    Archie held out the flower again hesitantly. “There are plenty of lilies in


    Mommy’s bouquet. That’s why I dared to take one of them.” Lucian’s brows


    furrowed as he finally understood what Archie meant.


    Someone obviously sent those flowers that Roxanne brought back as a thankyou gift. I was the one


    who misunderstood the whole thing. No wonder she flew


    into such a rage!


    Lucian’s expression rxed drastically after he realized the truth of the situation.


    He swept his gaze over to Roxanne, who was busy in the kitchen, then turned


    back and took the lily Archie was holding. “I’m sorry. I jumped to conclusions.


    Essie and I will stay for dinner.”


    With that, he set Este down. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Este


    shot her father a re before running off toward the kitchen to look for


    Roxanne.


    In the living room, Lucian held the lily taken from Roxanne’s bouquet of flowers


    with a frown. He and the boys stared at each other for some time.


    Archie and Benny could see Lucian’s frustration, and they snuck nces at


    each other with troubled looks in their eyes. Daddy and Mommy often argue, but


    it’s clear that Mommy is very angry this time. What can we do to help them


    make up?


    Over in the kitchen, Este clung to Roxanne’s leg. Roxanne, still fuming with


    anger, was perplexed when she saw Este running into the kitchen, looking


    aggrieved. “What’s the matter, Essie? Did the brothers bully you?”


    As she spoke, she cast a nce toward the door. That doesn’t make sense.


    The boys have always been fond of Essie, so why would they bully her? Apart


    from the boys, the only other possible culprit is Lucian.


    The next second, Este’s reply confirmed her suspicions. “It was Daddy! He’s a


    meanie!” Este said huffily,ining about her father to Roxanne.


    Este’s response did not surprise Roxanne. However, thetter was still


    curious about what caused Este to be so angry. “How was he mean to


    you?”


    Puffing out her cheeks, Este recounted what had happened angrily. “Daddy


    wanted to take me home and wouldn’t let me have dinner with you!”


    A look of surprise shed across Roxanne’s eyes. Lucian did mention taking


    Essie home just now, but I already shot him down. I didn’t think he’d still go


    ahead with it. I wonder how she managed to run in here.


    As the thought went through her mind, she subconsciously lifted her gaze,


    worried that Lucian would suddenly barge in. Once she looked up, however, she


    spotted Archie and Benny standing at the kitchen doorway.


    “Mommy, let’s y a game together!” Benny said with a bright smile. His words


    threw Roxanne for a loop. Pursing his lips, Archie nodded solemnly. “Yes, let’s


    y a game!”


    Seeing that the usually serious Archie was also suggesting they y a game


    together made Roxanne even more confused. And for some reason, his cheeks


    are so flushed.


    Este burrowed into Roxanne’s arms and turned to look at Archie and Benny


    curiously. They were so anxious when Daddy nearly took me home, and I’m still


    mad about it. Yet, they want to y a game now. How strange.


    Just as Este was wondering what was going on, Benny winked at her

    discreetly and signaled for her to look through the doorway at Lucian. Getting


    his hint, she reluctantly nced at her father.
