The Abandoned Wife (Lucian)
Chapter 1432

Chapter 1432

The boys were exhilarated for nearly the whole day after seeing the announcement in the morning.

When night fell, Roxanne had just stepped into the house when Archie and Benny flung themselves at her in excitement.“Mommy!”

She was slightly perplexed by their gleeful demeanor. “What's going on? Did something nice happen in the kindergarten?”

As soon as she ended her sentence, she glanced at Estella and was puzzled. If something did happen in the kindergarten, whyisn't Essie acting the same way as them?

Upon detecting his mother’s confusion, Archie said, “Didn’t you see the news on the internet?”

That confounded Roxanne even further. What news on the internet?

Excitedly, Benny added, “Mr. Farwell claimed that we're his children, just like Essie!”

Did | hear that right? Lucian said Archie and Benny are his children? How’s that possible? Roxanne was stunned.He could tell his mother was befuddled, so he grabbed the laptop, clicked on a public forum, and showed it to her.Farwell Group's announcement was still trending at the top of the website.

Roxanne clicked on the announcement and read its content.

When she finished perusing the announcement, she widened her eyes in shock. Lucian really did say that!

“Are we really Mr. Farwell's children, Mommy?” Benny feigned innocence as he stared at his mother, pretending he had no clueabout his background.

If Mommy says yes, then we'll be able to call him “Daddy” in the future!The little boy was over the moon at the thought of that possibility.Roxanne looked away, avoiding her son’s gaze. “There’s a reason for him to say that.”

She was indirectly answering in the negative.

Disappointment surfaced in Benny’s eyes as he asked, “If that’s not the case, why did he say that?”

Her line of sight landed on the screen again. After seeing that announcement and the netizens’ comments, I’m absolutely certainLucian doesn’t know the boys’ actual background. Otherwise, he would've demanded an explanation from me, which he didn’t. |have a pretty good guess as to why he said that, though. He just wanted to protect my reputation after seeing unsavory remarksabout me. Still, I'm shocked he’s willing to do this for my sake.

Roxanne had to admit that when Benny asked her that question, she felt the urge to reveal the whole truth to him. However, thismatter had stayed hidden as a secret for so many years that she was afraid to tell him the truth. She didn’t know if the boyswould blame her when they learned the truth. Also, she had no idea whether Lucian would reprimand her for selfishly keepingthis a secret all these years.

“Okay then.” Since his mother didn’t want to talk about the matter, Benny sensibly changed the topic instead of pressing on. “Mr.Farwell's saying that because he wants to help you, right?”

Awide, innocent smile returned to his face.

When Roxanne met his eyes, she nodded while wearing a complicated expression, for she couldn’t bear to disappoint the boy byshaking her head in denial again.

His smile grew even more sincere. “Mr. Farwell treats you well, Mommy! It will be so nice if he’s our daddy. You should accept hisproposal, Mommy!”
