Chapter 689
“Hello there.”
Seeing how polite and cute the children were, Jack gentled his tone.
The two children straightened themselves and looked curiously at Jack, unsure of who he was.
With a smile, Roxanne said, “This is Mr. Damaris, a colleague of mine.”
The introduction seemed to put the boys at ease as they sweetly greeted Jack with another hello.
Jack reached out to pat the boys on their heads. “I’m in a rush and never thought I’d run into you both today. I
should’ve brought you some gifts! There’s always next time, I suppose. I’ll get you both something nice.”
The children nodded obediently and chimed, “Thank you, Mr. Damaris.”
Jack smiled at the boys before looking at Roxanne, signaling that they had to leave.

Having said that, Roxanne and Jack got into the car.
Archie and Benny waited until Jack’s car completely disappeared from their line of sight before shuffling back into
the mansion.
“Archie, I think that Mr. Damaris looks quite handsome,” said Benny while rubbing his eyes. He had suddenly
become more alert.
Hearing his brother say so, Archie raised a brow as he recalled the man from earlier.
He is handsome and has a style similar to Daddy’s, but he’s also more gentle than Daddy. Moreover, if I understood
Mommy correctly, he’s the man from the Damaris family who she was yearning for. He must be quite capable.
Benny then murmured, “Is that man pursuing Mommy too? If that’s the case, it’ll be even harder for Daddy to
pursue her!”
Roxanne already held a grudge against Lucian. If there was another competitor for her heart, Benny and Archie
could only worry for their father.
Archie could not help but ask, “If that’s true, then it only proves that Mommy is a good person. That’s why so many
people like her!”
“But what about Daddy?” asked Benny, furrowing his brows out of concern. “I prefer Daddy. Should we remind
him?”
Although Lucian was taking his time to win Roxanne over, she still did not trust him. The children could see that
their father was putting in a lot of effort, and coupled with the existence of Estella, the boys were definitely biased
toward Lucian.
Archie and Bennie looked at each other, their expressions conflicted.
Did they need to warn their father? What if they did not and Jack stole their mother away?
But how were they going to do it, if this was the plan?
This conundrum proved to be too much for the two gifted children. For the first time, Archie and Benny finally got a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtaste of why people experienced a headache when trying to solve problems.
A sullen-looking Archie then remarked, “If Daddy wants to pursue Mommy, then he will definitely notice that
someone else wants to steal her away! This is a grown-up problem. If we talk to Daddy about it, he might feel
embarrassed. I think it’s best that we say nothing.”
Benny nodded solemnly. “That’s right. Daddy’s great, and he’ll definitely win
Mommy over! For all we know, he might have figured this out much sooner than we did!”
Archie and Benny could not tell if they were guessing or actually trying to convince themselves with all this chatter.
In the end, they both arrived at the conclusion that no matter how many people tried to pursue their mother, the
person to emerge victorious would definitely be Lucian.
Although they both used to have prejudices against Lucian, they became convinced. of his sincerity toward Roxanne
after bonding with him for some time.
With sincerity, looks, and capability all in one package, they refused to believe that Roxanne would not choose
Lucian.
