Chapter 885 Disappointment

At that moment, in the Farwell residence, Lucian’s phone rang once again.

Frowning when he saw the caller ID, he hesitated for a while before he got up and took the call outside.

It didn’t matter which one of the boys was calling him because Lucian had no reason to reject their calls under any

circumstances.

In fact, he was afraid something bad would befall them in the event that they were calling him because of an

emergency.

It was a slim possibility, but Lucian did not want to leave it up to chance.

“Archie, what’s wrong?”

Over the phone, Archie called out to Lucian in a childish voice and turned to look at his mother hesitantly.

Roxanne smiled encouragingly at Archie, gesturing at him to continue speaking. At the same time, she forced

herself to ignore the peculiar sensation that had welled up in her heart.

Archie asked, “I heard Mommy say that Essie’s crying. How’s she doing now?”

He purposely mentioned his mother in hopes that Lucian would realize she was the one who made him ask after

Estella.

Lucian’s gaze darkened after hearing Archie’s words.

I had a feeling Roxanne was the one who made him do this, but I didn’t expect him to come out with the truth so

easily.

“Is Essie still crying?”

Without waiting for his reply, Archie repeated his question and turned on the speaker.

With that, Roxanne would also be able to hear the conversation when Lucian spoke. However, the other end of the

line remained silent for some time.

Lucian was currently debating with himself if he should inform Archie, for Roxanne was bound to find out if he did

so.

He wanted to use the opportunity to make Roxanne consider whether work or the children was more important to

her.

Archie could vaguely guess Lucian’s line of thought. In a pitiful voice, he beseeched, “Mr. Farwell, we can keep it a

secret from Mommy since you’re angry at her. However, Benny and I are very worried about Essie. Can you please

tell us how she is right now?”

Benny chimed in, “Mr. Farwell, please tell us!”

The two of them sounded so pitiful that Lucian found his heart softening. After a brief silence, he finally replied.

“Estella is fine and asleep for now. Don’t worry too much. Also, since I’m the one who made her cry, I’ll make sure

to take responsibility.”

Heaving sighs of relief, Archie and Benny turned to look at Roxanne in unison.

Since Essie is okay, I’m sure Mommy will be relieved too!

However, the troubled expression on Roxanne’s face did not fade in the slightest.

Judging from Lucian’s words, Estella had cried herself to sleep. What if she continues to throw a tantrum after she

wakes up?

At that thought, Roxanne’s lips parted as if she wanted to say something.

If only he’d let me see Essie…

A thought occurred to Roxanne, and she quickly closed her mouth. Turning to Archie and Benny, she sent them a

pleading look.

The two of them instantly understood her intentions.

Benny begged in an adorable voice, “Mr. Farwell, can Mommy bring us to visit Essie?”

As Benny spoke, Roxanne stared at the smartwatch nervously as if she could see the person on the other end of the

line on it.

Without hesitation, Lucian’s reply came the moment Benny finished speaking. “No, I don’t see why you’d need to

when you can see her at school tomorrow.”

Archie and Benny’s faces fell after hearing Lucian’s reply. Roxanne, too, was filled with disappointment.

Unable to bear their mother’s sadness, the two boys tried with all their might to come up with something else.
