NovelEnglishChapter 1003 Mention Daddy More Often Jack accepted her words of gratitude. With that, Roxanne bid him goodbye and prepared to step out of the car. To her surprise, she bumped into Lysa and the boys as soon as she opened the car door.
“Mommy!” Archie and Benny had just returned from their kindergarten, so they were excited to see Roxanne. In the meantime, they also noticed Roxanne did not drive hwith her car.
If | remember it correctly, this is the one Mr. Damaris drove this morning.
Just as the boys were guessing who the owner of the car was, Jack's head popped out from behind Roxanne, and he smiled at them. “Did you two just chfrom your kindergarten?” The children nodded slowly, feeling a little upset. Mommy said they were only going to work, but why is she hso late? And why is Mr. Damaris sending her home? No matter how hard they looked, there seemed to be sintimacy between the adults. Inmediately, the imaginary alarm in the children’s minds went off.
No way. We must help Daddy look after Mommy before they make up with each other.

Regardless, she turned around and said, “I'll take them hfirst. Please letknow when you've reached home, Mr. Damaris.” Jack gave a brief answer and drove off.
Once the car was out of sight, Roxanne spun around to explain, “My car wasn’t repaired completely, so | couldn't start it. That's why Mr. Damaris senthtoday.” She was sure the kids’ imaginations would be running wild if she did not clear things up right there and then.
Obviously unsatisfied with her explanation, the kids asked, “Were you two working together the entire day?” Roxanne nodded. “Mr. Galloway was there, too.” Of course, the kids knew who Colby was. They felt that he was also one of Lucian’s love rivals, too.
Hearing that, the boys grew more worried.
Roxanne felt a wave of exasperation wash over her when she took in the boys’ expressions.
She believed she had clarified things enough, including her relationship with Jack.
Yet, the children looked more suspicious than before.
“We saw Mr. Farwell today!” Benny suddenly changed the topic.
Roxanne’s expression stiffened when she heard Lucian’s name.
Instantly, she recalled what Colby said at lunch and the scene where Lucian and Aubree stood side by side last night.
Sadly, the boys were unaware of what was going through her mind. All they wanted was to remind her of Lucian.

Essie is very worried!” Roxanne snapped back to her senses and forced a smile at them. “I'm very busy.” However, the boys did not intend to give up.
Before they could even utter a word, Roxanne said, “Besides, Mr. Farwell is just having common flu. It'll take him a week to recover. Tell Essie to not worry too much, okay?” With that, she patted their heads and went upstairs.
She really did not want to listen to her children talking about Lucian when she was already having a lot on her mind.
As Archie and Benny watched Roxanne head up the stairs, they exchanged glances, not understanding what had just happened.
They only wanted to make Lucian’s presence known. Yet, they got the feeling that their mother’s reaction was completely different from what they had expected.
“Archie, did | say something wrong again?” Benny sounded slightly defeated.
Patting his brother on the shoulder, Archie comforted, “No. We just have to mention Daddy to Mommy often.” Only then did Benny feel more at ease.
