Chapter 1253


    Este, Benny, and Archie rejoiced in silence after hearing what Roxanne had to say. They then turned


    to stare at Lucian. Lucian smiled. “What a shame. I’ll take you guys there to eat next time.”The kids


    jumped for joy upon hearing that.Roxanne felt warm and fuzzy as she watched the scene before her.


    She didn’t say anything anymore and went downstairs to prepare dinner. Next, Lucian took the three


    kids and followed closely behind.Este, Archie, and Benny surrounded Lucian and looked at him with


    faces full of anticipation in the living room.“Mr. Farwell, when can you be our daddy?”Benny


    stared fixedly at Lucian.Lucian caressed his head gently. “Soon. Don’t worry. I won’t let anyone else


    have the chance to be your father.”Hearing that, Benny gave a small cheer.Immediately, Este


    chipped in, “Daddy, you must keep your promise this time!”Lucian once promised Este he would


    make Roxanne her mother, but Lucian had a fallout with Roxanne. In the end, Aubree was the one who


    ended up looking after her.The incident had left a lingering fear in her heart.Lucian turned to face


    Este apologetically. “I will. It was all my faultst time. But I’ve thought things through now, so it won’t


    happen again.”Este puffed her cheeks and stared at her father with a hint of resentment in her


    eyes.“Mr. Farwell.”Archie stood at a corner and spoke in a serious tone. “Ms. Pearson and Ms. Queen


    will apologize to Mommy, right? Will theye and mess with Mommy again?”In fact, he had wanted


    to ask when Lucian would call off his engagement with Aubree but decided to hint at it instead. After all,


    they were father and son so Lucian caught on to his meaning immediately. He replied grimly, “I won’t let


    them off the hook this time. Don’t worry, guys. I’ll take care of things on my end.”Archie nodded and


    turned to look in the direction of the kitchen.Lucian followed his gaze to see Roxanne busying herself


    there. and his gaze softened.“Go y on your own for a bit. I’ll go and help your Mommy prepare


    dinner.’With that, Lucian stood up and was about to make his way to the kitchen when he paused in his


    footsteps. “You guys can stay here. The kitchen is rather smoky.”The kids nodded and gave him a


    knowing smile, indicating that they would let Lucian spend some alone time with Roxanne this time


    around.Lucian then turned around and went into the kitchen.On the other hand, Roxanne’s mind was


    upied with the series of events as she cooked.Lucian’s words had caught herpletely offThis text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    guard.She couldn’t help but regret her actions now that she thought about it. How can I forgive him so


    easily?She cut the vegetables angrily and forcefully upon the thought.Just as she was lost in her


    thoughts, Lucian’s voice sounded from behind her.“What are you thinking about?”Lucian stared at her,


    feeling baffled.She didn’t even notice I was standing behind her. I wonder what is on her mind right


    now.Roxanne’s hands slipped as she was jolted back to her senses.“Be careful!”Lucian quickly


    reached out and grabbed her hand, effectively stopping her from identally chopping her fingers off.


    He then guided her hand to put the knife down.The both of them stood in silence as they recovered


    from the shock.
