Roxanne then turned to look at Lucian, who was gazing affectionately at her. The tender glow in his eyes hindered
her from questioning and blaming him.
“Mommy, please say yes to Mr. Farwell!” Benny pleaded with his cute voice. He grabbed Roxanne’s arm and swung
it back and forth, his tiny face filled with anticipation.
Archie, who was usually reticent, piped up to express his opinion as well. “Mommy, since Essie is our biological
sister, you should give her a complete family!”
Roxanne felt guilty when she heard the boys’ words.
Archie is referring to himself, too. Ever since they were old enough to understand things, they’ve always wanted a
daddy, but they never expressed their feelings because of me. Deep down, they must yearn for a complete family
too! But…
Roxanne lifted her head and stared at Sonya, who was standing far away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSonya was standing in the corner where the light didn’t reach, and half of her body was concealed within the
darkness.
The light shone on her face as she looked at Estella, her eyes filled with sorrow and distress.
However, when she met Roxanne’s eyes, her expression turned cold and indifferent yet again.
Roxanne looked away bitterly and regarded Archie and Benny, who were anxiously waiting for her answer. Guilt
inundated her.
Her reckless decision years ago had turned the boys into monsters in the eyes of their biological grandmother.
Roxanne hoped Sonya would sincerely accept the two boys with open arms, and not only because they were part of
the Farwell family.
“Mommy?” Archie and Benny called out anxiously when they noticed Roxanne remaining silent.
Roxanne returned to her senses. A look of conflict flashed across her eyes, but she quickly made up her mind.
She placed Estella back down and looked at the boys. “Bring Essie inside first.”
Archie and Benny seemed to have sensed something and stubbornly refused to leave.
Roxanne ruffled their hair in reassurance. “Don’t worry. I have already made a promise to Essie. We won’t ever be
apart again.”
Archie gazed at his mother momentarily before turning to look at Benny and Estella. “Let’s go inside.”
Reluctance was written all over Benny and Estella’s faces when they heard that.
However, among the three of them, Archie was the decision-maker.
In the end, Benny and Estella gave in after a few moments of wordless stalemate.
Estella puffed her cheeks unhappily and held out her hand. “Mommy, pinky promise! We didn’t do it just now!”
Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief and smiled as she hooked her pinky finger with Estella’s.
Only then did the children turn and enter the mansion.
Roxanne turned around and calmly looked at the man before her as she took off the ring on her finger.
Upon seeing what she was doing, the other three people in the garden, including Cayden, changed their

Cayden was totally baffled. I don’t understand. Now that things have come down to this, why is Mrs. Farwell still
rejecting Mr. Farwell?
Sonya, on the other hand, let out a long sigh of relief.
Looks like Roxanne is still sensible enough to know that the Farwell family will not accept her!
Lucian watched as the woman took off the ring. His expression turned grim as bewilderment flashed across his
eyes.
“Sorry, but I still need time to consider your proposal.”
Roxanne smiled apologetically. “I’m happy that Essie is my child, and I’m grateful that you took great care of her,
but this shouldn’t be the reason we remarry.”
Lucian fixed his gaze on the woman before him and felt a sense of relief wash over him.
Indeed, my proposal was too sudden. I didn’t give her time to prepare herself mentally. Plus, I can’t compensate for
all the harm I caused her six years ago in just one day.
