Chapter 803 Fly Into A Rage
Before he left, Lucian went to the children’s room to check on them.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw them chatting while holding a laptop in their arms.
At the sight of him, the boys closed the laptop and gave him a self-conscious look. “Mr. Farwell, what brings you
here? Is Mommy all right?”
Lucian was still wearing the shirt Roxanne had puked on as he had no change of clothes, but his jacket managed to
hide the dirty shirt from view.
Looking at their anxious expressions, Lucian asked with a frown, “It’s getting late. Why aren’t you asleep?”
The boys exchanged glances. “We’ll go to sleep right away.”
There was no way they would tell him that their concern over whether their parents would argue was what keeping

Regarding them inquisitively, Lucian said in a deep voice, “Your mommy is already asleep. I’ll be heading home
now. You boys should go to bed soon.”
After that, he reminded them, “Don’t tell your mommy about what happened tonight.”
Despite agreeing to Lucian’s request, the boys were filled with disappointment.
They had initially hoped that Lucian would take care of their mother for the entire night, and when Roxanne saw
him when she woke up, she would definitely be touched.
Unfortunately, their father was about to leave, and he even forbade them from telling their mother about it.
At the rate they’re going, when will Daddy and Mommy ever reconcile?
Only after making sure the children were asleep did Lucian leave.
By the time he returned to the Farwell residence, Estella was already in dreamland.
After changing his clothes, Lucian went to check on her.
Estella, who had been missing her father, did not sleep well and woke up the instant he entered her room. She
rubbed her eyes and looked groggily in the direction of the door.
Lucian walked up to her bed and gave her hair a gentle tousle. “Did I wake you up?”
Estella shook her head, then wrinkled her nose as she sniffed the air. She looked up at her father with concern and
asked, “Daddy, were you out drinking?”
Lucian was stunned by her question. He lowered his head to smell himself and realized he was indeed reeking of
alcohol.
My clothes were probably tainted by the smell inside the car.
Estella maintained her curious look at him.
Meeting her eyes, Lucian explained casually, “It belongs to Ms. Jarvis.”
His explanation jolted Estella awake. She tugged at Lucian’s sleeve and asked anxiously, “Did Ms. Jarvis drink a lot?
Daddy, why aren’t you taking care of her at her place?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucian sighed inwardly in resignation, for he had almost forgotten how much Estella cared about Roxanne.
“I came home after tucking Ms. Jarvis in. She’s already asleep.”
Still, Estella wasn’t satisfied with his answer. “But what if she doesn’t feel well when she wakes up? Daddy, you
should have waited until she wakes up tomorrow morning before coming home.”
Lucian simply chuckled and shook his head without commenting any further.
It’s not like I don’t want to, but if she sees me tomorrow morning, she’ll remember that she stripped herself naked
in front of me. When that happens, I’m afraid she will fly into a rage out of embarrassment. I might as well let her
think that whatever happened was nothing but a dream.
Faced with his silence, Estella began complaining about how bad he was at courting Roxanne. Soon, her rambling
voice began drifting away, and her eyes could no longer stay open.
Until she fell asleep, Lucian didn’t explain a thing.
