Chapter 788 Am I Bothering You
Although Lucian did not answer her question directly, Estella was satisfied with his response, and she nodded obediently.
Meanwhile, Roxanne was also being questioned by her two boys.
“Mommy, did Mr. Farwell make you angry?” Benny had been following her wherever she went like a puppy.
Having been questioned for almost half a day, Roxanne answered in resignation, “No.”
“Then why did you ignore Mr. Farwell during lunch earlier?” Benny asked, unwilling to give up.
Roxanne and Lucian did not exchange a single word with each other during the entire meal.
Neither of them had responded, even when the children had tried their best to create an opportunity for them to speak.

Roxanne, especially, had seemed to ignore the words “Mr. Farwell” in the children’s sentences. In fact, she had barely looked at him.
Feelings of guilt rose in Roxanne’s heart when she heard the boys’ question.
The reason she had ignored Lucian was that she did not want to see his face, for she would be reminded of the incident last night. She felt incredibly troubled whenever she thought about it.
“I’m just a little tired because I didn’t sleep well last night. That’s why.” Roxanne made an excuse after some time. She then turned around and headed upstairs. “I’m going upstairs to get some rest. Play among yourselves, okay?”
Archie and Benny watched her leave, their eyes filled with suspicion.
They could tell she was lying, but it was true that she did not sleep well last night, so they stopped questioning her.
As soon as she returned to her room, Roxanne felt a wave of relief washing over her thanks to the silence.
For some unknown reason, the boys seemed to be very interested in her relationship with Lucian recently.
If it were not for the boys’ normal behavior, she would have wondered if they had found out about their identities.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, her phone rang.
She snapped back to her senses and lowered her head to check who the caller was.
It’s Jack. He must be calling because of the project.
Roxanne answered her phone without hesitation.
