“How are things over there? I’m sorry for what happened. | acted without thinking about the consequences.”“How are things over there? I’m sorry for what happened. | acted without thinking about the consequences.”

Roxanne heard Lucian apologizing the moment she answered the call.

The kids were leaning on her thighs and staring at her as they waited to hear Lucian’s response.However, Roxanne simply patted them on the head and made her way into the kitchen.Realizing that she wanted to speak to Lucian in private, the kids knew better than to follow her.

After replaceing a quiet spot in the kitchen, Roxanne lowered her voice to a whisper as she said, “I know you did it to protect us, butthat announcement was a little too sudden. Besides, Archie and Benny—”

Lucian cut her off, “It was my idea. Archie and Benny are going to become my children eventually anyway, so | figured | wouldgrant them that identity right away.”

That was one of the reasons he made that announcement.

A lot of people would surely gossip about Roxanne when she married into the Farwell family with Archie and Benny.Since nobody would dare investigate the Farwell family, Lucian decided to announce that they were his kids.Roxanne found herself wavering a little when she heard that.

Instead of waiting for her to respond, Lucian continued, “Are the kids scared?”

Roxanne nodded. “It’s the first time they've seen something like this. | told them to stay indoors, though. As bold as thosejournalists may be, they wouldn’t dare force their way into the house. As long as we don’t step out the door, they won't be able todo anything to us.”

“I'm the reason this whole thing happened, so I'll figure out a solution as soon as possible,” Lucian said after a brief pause.

Noticing the self-blame in his voice, Roxanne comforted him, “I know you meant well. We'll be fine as long as we remain indoors,so you don’t have to worry too much about us. Things are only going to get worse if Farwell Group makes another appearancenow. I'll try to solve this on my own.”

Madilyn shouted at her in the background, “Hang in there, Roxanne! I'll come save you right away!”Roxanne froze when she heard that. “Madilyn? What are you...”What is she doing with Lucian?

Lucian turned to look at Madilyn, who was standing next to him, as he explained, “She barged into my office demanding anexplanation.”

Knowing how aggressive Madilyn could be and from the way Lucian worded that sentence, Roxanne couldn't help but feel asthough he was telling on Madilyn.

As though she were trying to calm an angry child down, Roxanne said in a gentle voice, “Madilyn is a little hot-tempered, soplease don’t take her words to heart. She’s just worried about me and the boys.”

Lucian simply remained silent after hearing that.

“Oh, | have an idea!” Madilyn exclaimed while slamming her fist into her palm.

She then snatched the phone over and said, “Hang in there, Roxanne! I'll come pick you up right now, so just stay where youare!”

Madilyn hung up the phone before Roxanne could even respond, much to Lucian’s displeasure.The look in Lucian’s eyes grew increasingly colder as he glared at Madilyn.Even Cayden was getting a little nervous as he watched from the side.

Did Ms. Xander just end the call between Mr. Farwell and Mrs. Farwell without his permission? | sure hope she has come up witha good idea to get Mrs. Farwell out of there...

As Madilyn had thought of a great idea, she ignored their expressions and began explaining her plan.
