NovelEnglishChapter 613 Roxanne sensed Archie and Benny's suspicion. Concealing her unease, she calmly led the children to the couch.
After Roxanne rested at home for a week, her leg injury had made a decent recovery, and she could already walk unassisted.
Nonetheless, Lysa and the children fussed over her condition and insisted she rest for a couple more days at home.

Noticing her strange behavior, Archie asked, “The delivery man didn't answer our question. What if he sent the flowers to the wrong house?” The words had barely left his mouth when Archie hopped off the couch, shooting his mother a final glance before declaring, “I'll go check with the delivery man. What if he really sent the flowers to the wrong house?” With that said, he actually began walking toward the door.
