Chapter 1068 Overthinking
“Yes,” Roxanne blurted out. That answer brought a smile to Este’s face again. However, she still
found the sight of the flowers to be an eyesore.
The boys also detested the flower, so they put it in a corner. “This is taking up space. Let’s put it here
first!” Roxanne was aware of her sons’ intentions, but she didn’tment on it. Suddenly, the doorbell
rang again.

The brothers tensed up as they subconsciously protected Este behind them. If Mr. Damaris was the
one who pressed the doorbell earlier, then this must be Mr. Farwell! We still haven’t yed hide and
seek with Essie yet!
Roxanne thought the same, but despite her unwillingness to let Este leave, she still opened the door.
When she saw the person at the door, she was puzzled. “Mr. Damaris? Why are you back here? Is
there anything else?”
Jack smiled helplessly. “I may need to stay at your ce for a while because someone punctured my
tire with a nail. It went t after I drove for a while.”
As he spoke, he nced at the children somewhat intentionally.
Without hesitation, Roxanne let him in.
Jack wondered out loud, “It’s strange. The tire was fine when I came by in the morning. I don’t know
when it was punctured by a nail.”
Upon detecting his stare, the boys looked back at him confidently. Why is he looking at us? We didn’t
do anything! Is he trying to sow discord between Mommy and us?
A secondter, Jack looked away.
Standing behind the boys, Este hid her hands behind her back guiltily and yed with her fingers.
“What are you going to do now, Mr. Damaris? How about I send you back home?” Roxanne suggested.
“No need. I’ve already contacted the towingpany. The driver will pick me up once they arrive, so I’ll
be staying here until then.”
“All right,” Roxanne responded, then began talking about work with him once more.
The children kept their eyes on the adults alertly from the side.
Sensing Archie’s and Benny’s gaze, Jack frowned as though he thought of something.
Then he pondered the matter further and realized he might’ve acted too antagonistically toward the
two.
Roxanne, perplexed by the strange changes in his expression, asked, “What’s the matter?”
Jack rposed himself and shook his head with a smile. “It’s nothing. I’m probably overthinking
things.”
Despite his words, he was still visibly distracted when they resumed their conversation.
After the driver called Jack, Roxanne sent him out.
The children didn’t follow her.
Before he entered the car, Jack stopped, appearing as though he had something to say.
Roxanne’s heart sank as she waited for him to speak.
“I have something I’m not sure if I should mention.” Jack sounded hesitant.
Roxanne nodded, hinting him to continue.
Jack furrowed his brows. “I want to preface that what I’m about to say doesn’te from a ce of
animosity. However, for some reason, the children seem to have a very hostile attitude toward me.
They’re likely the only people who had ess to my car before my tire was punctured.”
Roxanne’s heart dropped violently. I do remember asking the children to y outside in the morning.
They could have sabotaged his car during that period. And he’s right about the children’s antagonism
toward him…
