Upon noticing the serious atmosphere around her family, Roxanne approached them in confusion.
At the sight of their savior, the children quickly hid behind her.
“What’s the matter?” Reflexively, she shielded them and gazed at Lucian with worry.
Lucian looked at her and then at the children, feeling amused and exasperated. “You should ask them. Even though they’re still young, they’re quite bold”
In response, Roxanne turned to look at the children.
“We were wrong, Mommy…” Benny apologized as he gripped the hem of Roxanne’s shirt. “Can you ask Daddy not to get angry?”
“We were just goofing around,” Estella chimed in. “We didn’t expect to trouble Daddy…”
“We’re sorry, Daddy. We won’t do it again,” Archie said sensibly.
Confused by the children’s apologies, Roxanne turned to Lucian.
