“Daddy, why are you here?” Estella glanced at her father curiously.

We were talking about Daddy a few moments earlier, and I'm surprised to see him arrive so quickly. | thought he was angry.

Her words served as a reminder to Roxanne.

Suppressing her embarrassment, she gave Archie and Benny a stern, questioning look, as if to inquire which one of them had sent Lucian a text message.

It couldn't be Essie, so it must be either of the boys! “It wasn’t us!” Benny felt a chill go down his spine and immediately drew on his inborn acting skills to put on an innocent look. “If you don’t believe us, ask Mr. Farwell!” With that, he turned to look at Lucian.

Lucian met his eyes and nodded readily. “I chere by myself.” Roxanne frowned, her eyes filled with suspicion.

It's worrying to consider what might happen once they discover their familial connection, given that they're already helping each other without any knowledge of their relationship.

Knowing Roxanne was suspecting him, Benny shot her an innocent smile and changed the topic. “Mommy, I'm freezing!” Roxanne couldn't bring herself to yell at them, so she turned to look at Lucian.

He was the only one who could head out to buy sclothes for the kids.

Before she could state her request, Lucian broke the silence. “I have sclothes in the car that you can change into. You can change your clothes in the car.” Roxanne grew suspicious again.

How could it be so coincidental? As though he had seen through her, Lucian arched a brow and added, “Don’t forget that | brought you here first after you returned to the country. For the past six years, this was my territory. Is there something wrong withcoming to my territory?” Roxanne was rendered speechless.

Since he had spelled things out so clearly, Roxanne knew she couldn't probe further as she did not want to cacross as overly calculative.

“Perhaps this is fate,” Lucian remarked with a smile. He then pushed Archie’s and Benny's shoulders gently.

“Come, let's go change your clothes.” The boys nodded obediently and padded to his car with him.

“Mr. Farwell, why are you here?” Benny asked in surprise as he changed his clothes.

They were thoroughly soaked, and it was quite troublesfor them to switch out of their wet garments into something dry and comfortable.

Lucian only remembered to bring them a change of clothes but forgot to buy stowels to dry them off.

He glanced around in his car and retrieved his suit jacket placed in the backseat to wipe the boys dry.

The material was expensive and bad at absorbing water, but it was better than nothing.

Lucian was amused to hear Benny's question. “You were the one who sentyour location, no?” Benny flashed a guilty smile. “You didn’t answer me, so | thought...” | thought he’s mad at Mommy! Lucian could guess his mind. “You thought I'm mad at your mommy because she rejected me?” Benny chuckled sheepishly.

Archie, however, remained unfazed. “Are you upset?” Lucian had no idea he'd be this straightforward. It took him a few seconds before he regained his composure to reply, “No. Our past was marred by a misunderstanding that was entirely my fault. All I want now is to try to win her heart back, nothing more.” A gentle smile nudged his lips as he gazed at the boys. “You'll help me, right?” Benny bobbed his head eagerly. He then proceeded to explain why Roxanne was in a foul mood earlier.

“It was my fault for making her angry,” he admitted.

Lucian finally understood why Benny had summoned him. He was pleased to be of help.

“All right, I'll handle this, so don’t worry. I'll make sure to cheer her up.”
