Chapter 1252

Benny could not help but chuckle after complaining.

His laughter influenced the other two children to chuckle uncontrollably as well.

The children came upstairs to take a look as they were worried about Roxanne.

However, they did not expect to see the scene of Lucian hugging Roxanne when they went up.

Hence, the children paused in their steps and hid in the corner to watch secretly.

They were all a little taken aback to see that Roxanne was attempting to return Lucian’s hug. Their eyes were wide with expectation, and they did not notice when Roxanne was looking back at them.

Although the children were caught peeking, they were much happier than any other day.

Becoming a family shouldn’t be a far-fetched dream from how Mommy and Daddy have gone further than reconciling.”

Let go of me now…” Roxanne’s face flushed, and her voice was brimming with guilt from being seen by her children.

Lucian then let go of her slowly, but one of his arms was still on her waist. He looked solemnly at the children, who had ruined his mood.

“When did you guys come up?” The children exchanged glances. Finally, Archie said, “We were here when you were hugging Mommy!” Roxanne’s face got progressively redder when she heard his response.

Lucian frowned. “Remember to hide really far away when you see things like this in the future.” The children responded obediently, “Okay! We will make sure not to be seen by Mommy next time!” Lucian’s face darkened, and he did not say anything.

Roxanne’s brow furrowed, and she looked at them in embarrassment and anger. “Don’t sprout nonsense. We were just…” She struggled for a while to think of a good reason. However, Roxanne was teased by her children.

“Mommy’s face is so red!” When she heard that, Roxanne held her tongue and instinctively raised her hand over her face. Indeed, her face was burning.

A flash of panic filled her eyes. She got away from Lucian quickly after realizing that she was still held by him.

This time, Lucian did not stop her. Roxanne surreptitiously breathed a sigh of relief.

Archie noticed Roxanne’s face had turned crimson red, and he changed the topic. “Mommy, can you cook us lunch since you’re feeling better now? We’re starving!” Benny and Estella, who was at the side, nodded in agreement. They stared fixedly at Roxanne.

Roxanne’s mood improved considerably when she saw that the children were no longer pestering her over what happened earlier. “I’ll make lunch now. You can eat some snacks or fruits to fill your stomach if you’re really hungry.” Roxanne did not dare to look at Lucian after her words fell. She walked away from him in a rush and headed downstairs.

When Roxanne walked to the stairs, Lucian’s voice rang again.

“I haven’t eaten lunch yet. If it’s possible, can you make something for me too?” After saying that, Lucian added another sentence as if he was afraid that Roxanne would turn him down. “I can order takeout if it’s not convenient.” After Lucian spoke, the children asked innocently in a childish voice, “Mr. Farwell, what are you going to order? We want to eat the same food as you!” Lucian began talking about the takeouts Cayden often got for him.

The children were enticed since the selection of food sounded so good.

Roxanne listened helplessly to their happy conversation. “I have already prepared the ingredients. I can cook something up quickly. There’s no need to order takeout.”
