NovelEnglishLucian had a gloomy look on his face as he stared at the screen of his computer.
He was looking at a video of the journalists swarming Roxanne’s house and the research institute.
Lucian did not expect his actions to cause Roxanne so much trouble.
He was snapped out of his train of thought when the door to his office opened all of a sudden.
Lucian looked up at the door in displeasure. He was about to say something when Madilyn yelled, “Get over here, Lucian! You owean explanation for the announcement online!” She then walked up to Lucian and slammed both hands down on his desk while glaring daggers at him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucian frowned slightly as he stared back at her in confusion.
After taking a few seconds to recall that Madilyn was Roxanne’s best friend, he suppressed his anger and politely motioned for her to sit down. “Please have a seat.” Naturally, Madilyn was not in the mood to sit down at that moment. “No, you explain this tofirst! Since when have my godsons becyour sons?” She actually meant to ask Lucian when he found out about their true identities and how he won Roxanne’s heart over.
However, Lucian’s response caught her off guard and left her speechless.
“They may not be my biological children, but it’s only a matter of tbefore they addressas their father. | will treat them as my own, so you don’t have to worry about a thing,” he said patiently while massaging his aching forehead.
Madilyn froze.
Huh? What does he mean by that? Does he still not know Archie and Benny are actually his children? Then, what's with the announcement from Farwell Group...
That was when Madilyn recalled the search results when she looked up Roxanne’s nonline.
Most of them were questioning Roxanne’s relationship with Jack and the true identities of Archie and Benny.
Did Lucian make that announcement just to protect them? Madilyn felt slightly better at the thought of that, but she wasn’t about to let Lucian off the hook that easily.
“What about the journalists gathered outside Roxanne’s house, then? What do you plan on doing about them?” After all, Lucian was the reason those journalists were there.
Instead of answering her question, Lucian simply shot Cayden a glance in response.
Cayden had a conflicted look on his face as he said, “I've already given the press a warning, but they...” There was no way the media would sit around and do nothing after Farwell Group made such a shocking announcement.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was only natural that the journalists would be fighting to get a scoop.
Nobody was willing to give up on that golden opportunity, and that mentality resulted in the crowd of journalists getting bigger and bigger over time.
There was nothing Cayden could do about it at that point.
Madilyn and Lucian understood what he was trying to say even though he didn’t finish his sentence.
“What will Roxanne and the kids do? They can’t just stay hforever!” she exclaimed anxiously.
“I'll go pick them up,” Lucian replied with a grim expression as he stood up and grabbed his coat.
After taking a moment to recover from their shock, Madilyn and Cayden quickly stepped in front of him to stop him.
“Those journalists just want an answer, be it fromor Roxanne. They'll leave once they get it,” Lucian said while staring at them with a straight face.
Cayden knew he couldn't let Lucian do that, but he didn’t know how to talk the latter out of it, so he decided to let Madilyn do the talking.
“Do you really think an answer is all they want? Roxanne is the main focus of this incident, so they'd still continue to pester her even if you showed up!” Madilyn exclaimed.
