Chapter 1468
Benny frowned and corrected himself, “It only hurts a little!”
To emphasize his point, he even made a gesture of a pinching hand with his thumb and index finger.
Seeing how insistent the kid was, Roxanne couldn''t help but burst intoughter.
Lucian, too, smiled and patted Benny on his head. “You''re a tough boy, Benny.”
Upon hearing his father''spliment, Benny held his head high and beamed with pride.
Archie, on the contrary, felt a twinge of envy for his brother and nced at his mother.
Argh. I wonder when Mommy will ept Daddy''s proposal. That way, I''ll also have a chance of being
praised by Daddy in the future...
“How''s his injury? Is it serious?” Lucian asked as he turned to Roxanne, who was still treating Benny''s
wound.
“I''ve developed a medicine recently to treat bruises, and it''s pretty effective,” she exined. “In the
meantime, however, Benny will have to take extra care of his wrist. He can''t be as reckless as before.”
That was a reminder Benny had long heard from his mother, but even so, he couldn''t hold back from
putting on a sad face in front of his father.
Lucian gently caressed the boy''s face and smiled. “There, there. Remember to be extra careful during
this time. That way, you''ll recover faster.”
Having beenforted by his father, Benny nodded obediently in response.
A glint of exasperation shed across Roxanne''s eyes when she realized her son was acting cute.
The nerve of this kid... He hasn''t known Lucian that long, yet he''s already clinging to him.
“By the way, I''ll bring more medicine over in a while. Take some with you when you leave,” Roxanne
suddenly added.
Lucian promptly nodded without saying anything.
After tending to Benny''s injury, Roxanne still had a lot on her mind, so she told the kids to run along
and y.
Soon, only she and Lucian were left in the dining room.
“What''s the matter?” thetter asked as soon he saw how distracted the woman was.
Roxanne furrowed her brows. “I had agreed to let them take Essie home, but in the end, I still took her
back to mine. Will your parents think I''m not a woman of my word?”
Mrs. Farwell''s already prejudiced against me, and even though Lucian hasn''t said anything, I''m pretty
sure this visit was her idea. I''m so worried that my mistake might ruin Mr. Farwell''s impression of me...
Naturally, Lucian understood her worries. “No. I''ve already exined things to my father. He won''t mind
any of this.”

Despite the reassurance, Roxanne still found it impossible to dismiss all her concerns. As she turned to
look at the three children ying outside, she unconsciously heaved a sigh.
A glint of exasperation shed across Roxanne''s eyes when she realized her son was acting cute.
Lucian instantly walked up and pulled her into his embrace. “Don''t worry. I''m still here. No matter what
happens, I''ll always protect you and the kids.”
Feeling theforting warmth from Lucian''s arms, Roxanne began to feel more at ease.
All of a sudden, the sound of Lucian''s phone ringing broke the peaceful silence in the dining room.
Lucian nced at his phone screen, only to realize it was a call from the head of the kindergarten,
Jeffrey.
Ah, yes. I instructed Jeffrey earlier to look into how Benny had gotten injured. I guess he''s calling to tell
me the results of the investigation.
“Mr. Farwell, I''ve already gotten my men to conduct a thorough investigation. Not only did we examine
Benny''s shoes and the venue, but we also checked the surveince footage. There''s no problem at all,”
Jeffrey said cautiously. “Benny was just careless...”
At that, the man quickly made a U-turn and shifted the me onto himself and the kindergarten. “It''s all
our fault for not putting enough safety measures in ce! I take full responsibility for it. Don''t worry. I''ve
reminded our teachers to pay extra attention in the future! idents like this won''t happen again!”
