Chapter 451 Fortunately, Archie and Benny's sadness didn’t last long.

They knew that Roxanne would be unhappy if they were upset.

After a few seconds of feeling disappointed for Estella, the boys began smiling again and opened their arms to Roxanne.

Roxanne put away her thoughts and beamed. She carried the boys into the car one after another, and Lysa sat with them in the back seat.

“Mommy, why didn’t you tell us you were coming to pick us up?” Benny asked gingerly.

While starting the car, Roxanne thought of her suspicious actions before and couldn't help but feel a little guilty when she heard Benny's words. “Well, it was a spontaneous decision.” Benny tilted his head in confusion. “Aren’t you busy with work today?” “I finished my work early today, so | suddenly decided to come and pick you guys up.” Roxanne tried her best to sound normal so that the boys wouldn't suspect her.

As she spoke, Archie responded in a childish tone, “Mommy's a liar.” Roxanne was stunned when she heard that.

Benny also looked at Archie in confusion, wondering why he said that.

“You've been here for a long time, right?” Archie looked at Roxanne’s face reflected in the rearview mirror sternly.

Roxanne didn’t expect Archie to notice her and wanted to brush off the matter. “I saw you guys as soon as | arrived.” However, Archie ignored her explanation and said, “If you wanted to pick us up, you should've informed Ms. Lane not to come.

But Ms. Lane came, and you were late. You even said that you got off work early today. You must be hiding something from us!” Additionally, when Lucian came to fetch Estella just now, Archie heard her calling out to Roxanne.

At that time, he thought Estella only called out to Roxanne because she missed Roxanne too much.

Now that he thought about it, Roxanne must have been secretly keeping an eye on them from a hidden corner.

Roxanne didn’t expect Archie to make such a sharp deduction and felt slightly embarrassed. “I'm not hiding anything. I really just arrived—" Benny finaliy realized what happened and exclaimed innocently, “So Estella kept looking for Mommy because she knew Mommy was here!” Archie nodded. He had the same thought as his brother, but he didn’t know why Roxanne refused to admit it.

Roxanne felt quite helpless when the two boys acquiesced to the fact that she had arrived a long time ago without bothering to verify with her.

Lysa knew what was going on. Without hesitating, she asked Roxanne with a smile, “No wonder you called me in the afternoon.

You must have gotten off work by that time.” Her words seemed to imply that Roxanne came early but never showed up.

Roxanne smiled wryly and nodded in acknowledgment.

Archie and Benny looked at Roxanne accusingly from the back seat.

“Mommy, since you were here, why didn’t you come and see Essie?” Benny couldn't help but ask.

Roxanne was at a loss for words. She couldn't tell the boys about the grudges she had with Sonya.

However, at the same time, she didn't have a good excuse to explain herself.

Just when she was racking her head to come up with an excuse, Benny said, “Mommy, you didn’t want to see Mr. Farwell, right?” Otherwise, why would she wait for Mr. Farwell and Essie to leave before showing up? Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Archie and Benny silently as a sign of acquiescence.

After all, Lucian was also part of the reason why she didn’t show up before Estella.
