Roxanne was stunned to see the man in front of her getting down on one knee.

Am I dreaming? Lucian is… proposing to me? Why would he do such a thing? He skipped this part when we got

married six years ago.

At that instant, Roxanne felt a little lightheaded. She could not believe what was happening right before her eyes.

She instinctively wanted to flee but was held back by the three children as soon as she took a step backward.

“Mommy, Mr. Farwell means it. Please say yes. He’s been preparing for this moment for quite some time. We saw

him getting ready since afternoon,” Benny blurted.

Roxanne’s resolve began to waver after hearing that.

What the children witnessed was only Lucian’s preparation in the afternoon. Little did they know how much time he

had invested in turning all the flowers in the garden into traditional medicinal herbs.

I wonder how much time Lucian spent getting everything ready.

“Come on, Aunt Roxanne, say yes to Daddy! I want us to become a family,” urged Estella.

One by one, the kids started persuading her to answer in the affirmative.

Meanwhile, Lucian was staring at her, the look in his deep, dark eyes as determined as ever.

“I’ve pondered a lot during your absence in the past six years. Now that you’re back in my life, I swear I’ll never

disappoint you again. I’ll protect you and also take care of our children. Please trust me once more, Roxanne.”

His hand that was holding the ring didn’t move once as he spoke, not even an inch.

“Mommy, Mr. Farwell is the only person we want to be our Daddy!” exclaimed Archie and Benny simultaneously.

Roxanne’s eyes darted from side to side as she started having second thoughts.

She was wondering whether Lucian’s proposal was merely a gesture to make up for their marriage six years ago.

No matter how hard she tried to let go of her past, it kept coming back to haunt her, for she was deeply hurt by

that horrible marriage.

There was no way she could forget what was already etched in her heart.

In fact, just the word “marriage” would make her shake in her boots, especially when it came from the person

kneeling before her—the culprit of her failed marriage.

Roxanne truly wanted to have more faith in Lucian.

After all, he had been treating her with utmost sincerity since their reunion.

Unfortunately, the sufferings she went through six years ago were still buried deep within her heart, hindering her

from reaching out to accept the proposal ring.

To Roxanne, the ring was an absolute burden, but the children’s constant urging prompted her to consider their

feelings and needs.

Indeed, the two kids needed a father figure in their lives, and their biological father was standing right in front of

them!

I’ve been keeping this secret from the kids for so many years. Now that they finally have someone to call “Daddy,”

how could I be so cruel and take that away from them? Moreover, they’ve directly expressed their love for Lucian…

After contemplating, she gave in. The pain from the heartbreak she suffered was no match for the guilt she felt

toward her children.

When she moved her arm slightly and was about to accept the ring, a loud and clear barking cough rang out from a

nearby corner.

Roxanne’s hand froze in mid-air as she looked in the direction of the sound and saw Sonya, who appeared out of

nowhere.

Displeased, the older woman was glowering at her as well as Archie and Benny who were standing next to her.

With that, Roxanne slowly withdrew her outstretched arm.

No, now is not the right time yet. Back then, I selfishly ran away when I was pregnant, neglecting the kids’ feelings.

If I were to let them reunite with the Farwell family, I should at least wait until everyone has accepted them without

a qualm.
