Chapter 532
When Estella saw Roxanne confirming a date with Lucian, she knew that Roxanne had agreed to go together, and
her face lit up with excitement. Although there were still some tears in her eyes, she was smiling brightly.
Seeing that the children were so excited, Roxanne felt relieved and looked at Lucian indifferently.
Lucian said in a deep voice, “How about next weekend? Will you be free, Ms. Jarvis?”
Roxanne nodded, and the two didn’t say anything more.
After bidding Estella goodbye, Roxanne took Archie and Benny back home.
On the way home, the children called out to Roxanne, “Mommy.”
Roxanne had yet to get over the incident during the play. When she heard the children’s voices, she took a few

Benny was about to speak, but feeling a little timid, he looked at Archie.
Meeting Benny’s eyes, Archie nodded and asked, “Mommy, do you not want to go on
a vacation with Mr. Farwell?”
Having witnessed the kiss and noticed Roxanne’s hesitation, they could more or less guess her thoughts.
Roxanne didn’t know how to respond. Hence, she asked in return, “Why would you
say so?”
Archie and Benny looked at each other, and Archie answered, “You’ve been avoiding Mr. Farwell, and you promised
to only chauffeur us until the end of the anniversary celebration. Is that not because you want to stay away from
Mr. Farwell? When Essie invited us, you were hesitant as well.”
Roxanne looked at the children in the backseat through the rearview mirror and felt distressed.
They could not have been any more naïve when they were watching the play earlier, yet now they were so clever.
Before she could speak, Benny added, “Mommy, your nose will grow longer if you tell lies!”
Roxanne swallowed her words and went silent for a while before replying ambiguously, “Don’t you want to go with
Essie? Essie wants to go with her daddy, so
we’ll go together.”
When they heard her answer, they finally understood.
Mommy didn’t answer us directly. She must not want to be with Daddy. Mommy will most likely continue to avoid
Daddy in the future. If that happens, Essie will not see Mommy again…
At that thought, the boys secretly came to a decision. They wanted to treat Estella better and let her spend more

Roxanne was oblivious to their plan. However, she was glad that they weren’t asking any more questions.
Back at the mansion, Lysa had already prepared dinner and was waiting for them to come home.
Lysa welcomed their return with a smile. “How was the play today?”
Roxanne, who had finally put the play behind her, became moody again when Lysa brought up the topic.
Archie and Benny glanced at Roxanne cautiously, knowing that she was disturbed by the kiss on the stage.
Seeing that they did not answer for a long time, Lysa asked in concern, “What’s wrong? Did it not go well?”
With that, she noticed the contorted expression on their faces. Just as she wanted to comfort them, the boys
beamed. “We won the first prize!”
Lysa couldn’t help but feel puzzled when she heard the children.
They won the first prize, but what’s with their expressions?Roxanne, especially, seemed a little unhappy.
Afraid that Lysa would ask about the play again, the children quickly pushed her to the living room. “Ms. Lane, we’re
hungry!”
Lysa quickly nodded and led them to the dining room.
