Chapter 1318


    The expensive nts had all been reced with some unimpressive flowers, and the walls were


    decorated with strips of colorful lights.


    Unsure if Lucian was satisfied with the decoration, Cayden exined, “I kept the decoration simple as


    per your instructions, Mr. Farwell.”


    The look in Lucian''s eyes slowly grew gentle as he scanned the back garden. “This will do. Did you


    bring the item I asked for?”


    Cayden quickly whipped out an exquisite velvet box and handed it over to him.


    The cold look on Lucian''s face vanishedpletely when he opened the box and saw its content.


    Exhausted from crying, Este fell asleep while lying in Roxanne''s arms.


    Roxanne didn''t get any sleep throughout the entire afternoon. The incident with Aubree left her feeling


    a little tired as well, so she decided to take a nap on Este''s bed.


    Seeing as Roxanne and Este were fast asleep, Archie and Benny left the room to avoid disturbing


    them.


    Upon arriving at the balcony, they saw Lucian and Cayden discussing something in the back garden.


    They couldn''t hear what the two were saying, but they could see Cayden handing Lucian a tiny box.


    As the boys got on their tiptoes to get a better look, they saw something shiny inside the box.


    Benny''s eyes lit up as he asked excitedly, “Is Daddy going to propose to Mommy?”


    After all, it was obvious that the item inside the box was a ring.


    Archie was a little surprised as well, but he frowned in confusion momentster.


    That evil woman just caused a huge scene not long ago, though. Is Daddy really going to propose to


    Mommy so soon? Now that I think about it, Daddy probably wanted Grandma to stay over so she could


    witness his proposal.


    Archie''s confusion was soon reced by excitement and anticipation.


    The boys were tempted to wake Roxanne up and bring her to Lucian right away, but they held


    themselves back when they recalled her having a mild fever earlier that morning.


    They had no choice but to wait in anticipation for Roxanne to wake upter that evening.


    Fortunately for them, Roxanne wasn''t asleep for too long.


    She groggily climbed out of bed at around eight in the evening, only to realize that Este was no


    longer lying in her arms.


    As she nced around the room, she saw her sitting on the carpet with Archie and Benny. The three of


    them were huddled together and seemed to be whispering among themselves.


    Archie was the first to notice Roxanne waking up, so he quickly called out to her, “Mommy! You''re


    finally awake!”


    The kids then stood up and made their way over to the bed.


    “What were you three whispering about?” Roxanne shifted her gaze toward Este. “And when did you


    wake up, Essie? Howe I didn''t notice?”


    Este narrowed her eyes and broke into a smile as she replied, “I wasn''t really tired because I took a


    nap at noon, so I got up after a while.”

    Roxanne had wanted to ask how she was feeling, but she held her tongue when she saw the smile on


    Este''s face.


    Seeing as she was already feeling a lot better, Roxanne decided not to bring it up and simply patted


    her on the head.


    “We''re hungry, Mommy! Let''s go downstairs and have dinner!” Benny eximed while tugging at her


    arm.


    Roxanne gasped in shock when she checked the time and saw that it was already eight.


    Oh my goodness! Why didn''t anyone wake me up?


    “You kids must be starving. I''m sorry I overslept,” Roxanne said as she got out of bed and brought the


    kids downstairs.


    There were a few dishes on the dining table, but no one was around.


    Roxanne felt a little bad for sleeping past dinner time.


    Everyone else must''ve eaten dinner because they couldn''t wait for me any longer. I feel so bad... Good


    thing they reserved some food for us.
