Chapter 205 Are You Two Getting Together
On the other side, Roxanne brought the kids home. She was hesitating whether to invite Colby inside for a while.
Colby could see her hesitation. Being a gentleman, he smiled and said, “It’s getting late and I should head back. See you tomorrow.”
Roxanne sighed in relief. She didn’t ask him to stay. Instead, she smiled and said her goodbyes.
After watching his car drive off, she held the hands of the two children and led them through to the door.
Lysa had already prepared dinner. Seeing that they had returned, she served the food.
Roxanne treated Lysa like her family. During meals, she would eat at the table with them.
During their meal, Lysa smiled and asked, “Ms. Jarvis, have you seen the news today? You and Mr. Farwell…”
Lysa came across the news in the afternoon earlier. The media had accidentally mistaken Roxanne for Lucian’s fiancée. While she found it hilarious, she also felt like the two of them looked good together. Just as she wanted to tease Roxanne, the latter interrupted her.
“It’s nothing but a misunderstanding, so just act like you saw nothing.”
Roxanne looked down when she spoke. At the same time, she served food for the two children.
Seeing that she didn’t want to talk about it, Lysa took the hint and said no more. She changed the topic and started to tell stories about the children in kindergarten.
On the other hand, Archie and Benny were intrigued by her words. However, they did not show it. They ate the food that and answered Lysa’s questions obediently.
They struggled to make it through dinner. That night, the two of them were not in their usual mood to play Lego. Instead, they rushed back to their room.
Roxanne’s heart could not help but sink slightly. She knew that the children were aware of the news.
Inside the room, Archie and Benny intuitively opened up their social media and searched for Lucian’s name.
Soon enough, they saw the trending articles.
When they clicked on it, they saw two pictures that appeared in almost every article.
The two children did not need to zoom in to see that the woman in the pictures was their mother.
However, the titles of the articles stated that it was Lucian and his fiancée.
The two children were confused for a moment.
From what they knew, that man was supposed to marry someone else. Why would the news post pictures of Mommy and claim that she’s his fiancée?
Regardless, even from their points of view, the pictures showed that Lucian treated their mother very well.
They thought back to the night that Roxanne had fallen sick, and how Lucian had cared for her. His attitude back then was even better than what was shown in the photos.
Beneath the articles, all the comments praised how well Lucian treated Roxanne. There were also a lot of comments saying they looked very compatible.
The children were slowly wavering.
After reading through the articles, Archie and Benny could not help but carry their laptops and run to their mother for answers. “Mommy, are you getting together with Mr. Farwell?”
Roxanne took a look at the articles on the screen. She couldn’t help but frown.
She was worried Archie and Benny would misunderstand. That was why she didn’t want Lysa to say too much during dinner. Unexpectedly, the two children decided to investigate the matter themselves.
Archie and Benny looked at Roxanne with their eyes wide.
“No. His fiancée is Aubree Pearson. You guys have met her. The news reports are wrong.” After a moment of silence, Roxanne forced herself to suppress her discomfort and give the two children an explanation.
Hearing that, Archie and Benny exchanged a glance with each other. Archie nodded his head obediently and said nothing more.
Meanwhile, Benny felt a slight pang of disappointment in his heart.
He thought that he was finally going to have a father.
