Chapter 760 No Right To Be Mad
After seeing Lucian and Estella off, Roxanne returned inside the mansion with Archie and Benny and started preparing for dinner. “Mommy.” The two boys followed her into the kitchen. Roxanne stopped what she was doing and asked, “What is it?”
“Why did you fight with Mr. Farwell?” Archie and Benny looked at her intently. Their question caught her off guard. “I didn’t—”
She was about to deny the fact that they fought, but she was interrupted by her kids. “We saw everything. You can’t lie to children!” Roxanne was at a loss for words. What’s going on with them today?
She had had countless disagreements with Lucian, and Archie and Benny had always been on her side without asking her what had happened. “Did Mr. Farwell make you upset?”
Roxanne began to ponder who was at fault in her conflict with Lucian, but she couldn’t figure it out even after some time.
In the end, she could only shake her head and explain evasively, “No. I was just talking to Mr. Farwell about Essie, and I started to sound impatient as we spoke.”
Suspicion was written all over Archie’s and Benny’s faces. Roxanne stroked their heads and said, “All right, that’s enough. Don’t worry about the adults. You boys head on out now. I have to prepare dinner.”
“Archie and I are better than adults in some aspects!” Benny argued. Roxanne knew what they meant. They could help her with her problems, but it wasn’t appropriate to let them know about her relationship issues.
She pushed them out of the kitchen and said, “I know you two are the best, but you should refrain from causing trouble in the kitchen!”
Without giving them any chance to retort, she walked back into the kitchen. Archie and Benny were crestfallen as they looked at her back.
It seemed that they had failed in their mission, and they could only hope that Estella could extract some useful information from Lucian.
As Lucian drove back to the Farwell residence with deeply furrowed brows, he noticed through the rearview mirror that Estella had been staring at him in the backseat. “What is it?” he asked.
Estella tilted her head and asked in a piping voice, “Daddy, did you fight with Ms. Jarvis earlier?”
A dark look fleeted across Lucian’s eyes. “Why did you fight with Ms. Jarvis?” Estella continued to question. “What if Ms. Jarvis starts ignoring us because she’s mad?”
Lucian grimaced helplessly when he noticed Estella putting the blame on him. “I’m very mad, too.” Estella widened her eyes and stared at him fiercely. “Daddy, you shouldn’t be mad!”
Lucian was already feeling frustrated because of Roxanne in the first place. When he heard Estella, he almost laughed in exasperation. Not only is Essie on Roxanne’s side, she even thinks I have no right to be mad.
Estella seemed righteously indignant about what Lucian did to Roxanne. Since Daddy wants to court Ms. Jarvis, he can’t be mad at her, much less make her angry!
