Chapter 791 A Secret To Tell You

Archie and Benny dashed to their room after they headed upstairs. “Archie, Mommy’s meeting Mr. Damaris

tomorrow. Should we tell Daddy about it?” asked Benny with slight hesitation.

Upon deliberation, Archie said, “We have to tell him.” They had kept it a secret earlier because they wanted Lucian

to feel stressed about Roxanne’s relationship with Jack.

However, Roxanne’s attitude earlier made them feel terrified. What if Mommy really chose Mr. Damaris?

At that thought, the children no longer dared to hide it from Lucian. Benny asked gloomily, “But how should we tell

Daddy about it?”

They could not contact Lucian as they did not have a phone. Roxanne would be leaving tomorrow night and they did

not know if Lucian would visit that day.

Archie and Benny looked troubled as they thought hard about this tough question. After a while, Archie whispered

something next to Benny’s ear with a frown, and the latter responded with a firm nod.

Then they washed up quickly and lay on the bed although it was still early. Before going to bed, Roxanne checked

on the children and saw that they were sleeping soundly. Looks like they really did not have a good rest last night.

Her suspicions gradually faded.

Little did she know that Archie and Benny were merely pretending to sleep. With their eyes still closed, they listened

to the movements outside the door quietly.

Only when they could barely hear Roxanne’s footstep did they sneak out of bed. While listening intently for any

sounds outside, they stared at the clock.

They waited until it was just before midnight when Roxanne would have probably fallen asleep before tiptoeing out

of their room and down the stairs.

After walking to the corded landline telephone, they cast a careful glance at Roxanne’s room.

When they saw that the lights in her room were turned off, they put their guard down and dialed Lucian’s number.

Although they did not have phones of their own, they had already memorized Lucian’s number, thanks to their

exceptional memory.

Before dialing the number, Archie and Benny had been worried that Lucian would not pick up the call as it was so

late.

But to their surprise, Lucian answered the call mere seconds after they called him.

“What happened?” Lucian was working in the study when he suddenly saw Roxanne’s call. The thought that she

might be in trouble made his heart sink.



Unexpectedly, Archie’s and Benny’s mysterious voices sounded from the other end of the line. “Mr. Farwell, we

have a secret to tell you.”

Lucian frowned. “What secret?”

The children said straightforwardly, “Mommy says she’s attending a contract signing ceremony with Mr. Damaris

tomorrow night.”

A grim look spread across Lucian’s face when he heard that.

Even though Roxanne had explained to him numerous times what her relationship with Jack was, he was still

bothered about it.

Besides, something bad was bound to happen every time she went out with him.

First, she was pestered by Jessica. Then, she became the center of public opinion.

“Did you hear what we said, Mr. Farwell?” Archie and Benny asked when Lucian did not respond.

Lucian was jolted back to his senses. Knowing that the children must be secretly sharing this intel with him, he

replied solemnly, “Got it. Thank you.”

The children did not dare to say anything else and quickly ended the call.

Benny erased the call history before they snuck back to their room.
