“Lo lamento.” Roxanne bajó la cabeza. Al escuchar eso, Benny supo que Roxanne había creído su

mentira y dejó escapar un suspiro de alivio en secreto. Bajó la guardia aún más cuando escuchó a su

madre disculparse con él.

Él tiró de su manga obedientemente. “¡No te culpo, mami!” Roxanne forzó una sonrisa, pero aún se

sentía arrepentida. Benny inclinó la cabeza y soltó sus pensamientos: “¡Si realmente lo sientes, haz que

el Sr. Farwell sea nuestro papá! ¡Archie y yo lo queremos mucho!”.

El corazón de Roxanne se encogió cuando escuchó eso. Era la primera vez que escuchaba al chico

expresarle su opinión sobre Lucian. ¿Es porque están relacionados por sangre que lo aman tanto?

Roxanne sintió la necesidad de contarle a Benny sobre sus antecedentes, pero luego pensó en su

relación con Lucian. Si Lucian se entera de que los chicos son sus hijos, no dejará que se queden a mi

lado.

Ante ese pensamiento, se pellizcó la palma de la mano en silencio y se tragó las palabras en la punta de

la lengua.

“Mr. Farwell is going to marry someone else in the future, and there’s nothing I can do about it.” She

patted his head comfortingly. “However, I can promise you that your future daddy will be someone you

and your brother will like!”

Naturally, Benny was disappointed when his proposal was rejected by his mother. However, he found

himself understanding his mother’s decision when he recalled her precarious relationship with his father.

He was determined to help his parents reconcile with each other. Unwilling to face Benny’s disappointed

countenance, Roxanne stood up and grabbed his tiny hand. “Come on. Let’s head back to Essie.”

The boy bobbed his head and followed her downstairs. Archie and Estella were planning how to

encourage their parents to make peace with each other.

When they heard footsteps, they swiftly separated from one another like frightened little animals and sat

on the couch, acting as though nothing had happened.

Roxanne stared at them with amusement. “What secrets were you two talking about?” Calmly, Archie

replied, “I was just telling Essie that Benny is very good with computers.”

Estella nodded in cooperation. “Mm-hmm! I’m great at it, too!”

Roxanne turned to the girl, surprised. No one would’ve expected someone as adorable and innocent-

looking as her to be skilled at computers. I certainly didn’t. Then again, she is Lucian’s child. In that

context, it’s not shocking to learn she has a very high IQ.

“What did you need Benny’s help with, Ms. Jarvis? If he can’t help you, maybe I can give it a try,” Estella

offered.

Roxanne glanced at Benny before grinning at the other children. “It’s nothing much. I’m not that familiar

with computers, so I asked him to teach me a thing or two about a problem I was having.”

Benny nodded in agreement.

While Estella didn’t think much about her lie, Archie had a good guess why his mother had asked his

brother for help. He was slightly worried as he wondered how Benny had answered her questions.

He noticed his little brother’s expression appeared a bit odd. He didn’t spill the beans, did he?

He couldn’t help but panic.

When Benny sat by his side, he asked in a whisper, “Did you let it slip?”

He only relaxed when his brother assured him that didn’t happen.
