NovelEnglishChapter 594 Archie and Benny exchanged a glance. They were suddenly afraid to answer their mother’s question.
It wasn’t Lucian that they liked. They just liked having a father around to take care of their mother.
However, they could see that their mother still didn’t like their father.
When they thought of that, they hesitated.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA sense of worry began to surface in Roxanne’s heart.
She could see the change in their attitude toward Lucian.
If things continued down that trajectory, and they found themselves liking Lucian and wanting to interact with him more, she wouldn't be able to find a reason to say no.
After all, they should grow up by Lucian’s side. It was her decision to take away their right to live with their father.
Upon returning to her senses, she abruptly stared at the boys apologetically. “I... | don’t know. However, if you two want that, | won't say no.” In other words, she wouldn't invite Lucian voluntarily, and she wouldn't be happy if he visited, but she would still allow it as a way to make up for her children.
The boys were smart, so they instantly knew what she meant-she still didn't like their father visiting.
“We just feel pitiful for Essie.” Benny and Archie were quietly cutting their ties with Lucian.
Roxanne let out a sigh of relief when she heard that. However, it also caused her to feel apologetic when Estella’s nwas mentioned. “I pity her too, but...” Her mind becblank, and she didn’t know what to say.
Thankfully, the boys didn’t question her further and simply changed the topic. “There is no need to feel sad, Mommy! We'll take good care of Essie. You just need to take care of yourself, Mommy!” It sounded as though Roxanne was the child in the scenario.

But now, it feels as though our position has switched. He'll always show up in front of me. Technically, there's no longer any relationship between us. As | have said before, we should be nothing but strangers to each other. And yet, the things he did keep makingfeel as if he wanted to maintain a close relationship withand the children.
It was then she realized something and halted her train of thought. At the stime, she felt she was being silly.
No one knew why / left six years ago better than | did. It was because | realized what position Aubree held in Lucian’s heart. | knew no matter how hard | tried, he would never look at me. After six years, Aubree is still by Lucian’s side. It’s clear both of them still love each other. | don’t understand why Lucian harbors that kind of thought towardwhen he’s still in love with Aubree.
When her thoughts ended there, she bit her lip self-deprecatingly. /n the end, I'm just deluding myself. The only reason Lucian is taking care ofis because of Essie.
She silently tried to convince herself not to overthink things. As long as | keep my distance from Lucian, problems won't arise anymore.
