The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 893 I Will Look For Them With You

"Mr. Farwell." At the thought that they had almost given their father's lie away earlier, Archie and Benny stood up and greeted Lucian guiltily.

Inclining his head a fraction, Lucian swept a dark look over them both. A sense of warning seemingly hit Archie and Benny through the air, upon which the expressions on their faces turned much more docile. They could surmise that he was cautioning them against saying something they shouldn't be saying. Seeing that they had grasped his meaning, Lucian nodded slightly and placed the snacks meant for them on the table.

"Just tell Ms. Catalina if you need anything. I'm going to settle some things." All three children bobbed their heads in unison.

Without saying anything further, Lucian whirled around and left.

He was so absorbed in brooding over Roxanne's thoughts just now that he forgot to remind Archie and Benny to be mindful of their words.

For that reason, he offered to do it instead when Catalina said she was going to take some snacks upstairs.

Watching as the bedroom door closed once more, Archie and Benny inwardly breathed a long sigh of relief.
