The expensive plants had all been replaced with some unimpressive flowers, and the walls were decorated with strips of colorful lights.

Unsure if Lucian was satisfied with the decoration, Cayden explained, “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 | asked for?” Cayden quickly whipped out an exquisite velvet box and handed it over to him.

The cold look on Lucian’s face vanished completely when he opened the box and saw its content.

Exhausted from crying, Estella 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 Estella’s bed.

Seeing as Roxanne and Estella 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 moments later.

That evil woman just caused a huge scene not long ago, though. Is Daddy really going to propose to Mommy so soon? Now that | think about it, Daddy probably wanted Grandma to stay over so she could witness his proposal.

Archie’s confusion was soon replaced 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 up later 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 Estella was no longer lying in her arms.

As she glanced 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 Estella. “And when did you wake up, Essie? How come | didn't notice?” Estella narrowed her eyes and broke into a smile as she replied, “I wasn’t really tired because | took a nap at noon, so | 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 Estella’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 exclaimed 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 | 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. | feel so bad... Good thing they reserved some food for us.
