Chapter 1136
“Mommy, please don’t dislike Mr. Farwell.” Devastated by Roxanne’s response, Benny tugged her sleeve pitifully.
“Even though Mr. Farwell has made you mad, he still cares a lot about you. Every time you were sick, he would
always be by your side.”
His words triggered a flicker in Roxanne’s eyes and tugged at her heartstrings.
It was true that ever since her return, Lucian had always been by her side when she wasn’t feeling well.
Prior to that, Roxanne had never had anyone care for her other than the children doing their clumsy best.
I can’t deny that Lucian has given me a sense of security, but…

Oblivious to what was going through his mother’s mind, Benny mumbled, “Mr. Farwell treats you very well, and he
doesn’t let us tell-”
It was then Benny felt a sudden poke from Archie.
Biting his tongue, he quickly tried to change the subject. “No matter what, Mr. Farwell is the best. Can you stop
quarreling with him already?”
However, Roxanne’s brows were already knitted. “What did you mean just now? What else did Mr. Farwell do?”
Benny lowered his head, brimming with guilt.
The look on his face ended up intriguing Roxanne further.
At that moment, Archie knew that it was too late to salvage Benny’s slip of the tongue. Trying to hide it any further
would only intensify Roxanne’s suspicions.

With that thought in mind, Archie spoke candidly. “It was Mr. Farwell who took care of you when you were drunk.”
His words inadvertently caused Roxanne to recall the events of that night.
Back then, she had assumed that she was dreaming. Little did she expect the entire incident to turn out to be real.
The thing is, when did he leave?
“Mommy, Benny is right. Can you stop fighting with Mr. Farwell already?” Archie casually changed the subject. “We
really like playing with Essie. Every time both of you quarrel, we won’t be able to see her”
The mention of Estella caused Roxanne to set her thoughts aside as she gave Archie an apologetic look.
Can what’s going on between Lucian and me be described as a quarrel? It could be in the past, but given Lucian’s
stance, it’s clear that he wants to sever ties with me
It was a fact that Roxanne had no illusion about but didn’t know how to explain to the boys.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t want things to turn out this way too, but not everything is as simple as you think.”
The pale-looking Roxanne eked out an explanation a short while later.
Archie responded with a sensible nod. “I can understand where you’re coming from, Mommy. It’s just that can you
convince Mr. Farwell to allow Essie to return to the kindergarten?”
A conflicted look spread across Roxanne’s face. “Darling, Mr. Farwell is Essie’s father, and he has his reasons for
transferring Essie to another kindergarten.”
Archie countered, “He doesn’t want Essie to see us because both of you are fighting.”
Roxanne was surprised that Archie not only knew the reason but also dared to speak out about it.
“I feel that Essie shouldn’t have been placed in a new environment so abruptly. If Mr. Farwell doesn’t want her
to see us, we’re willing to transfer out instead.” Archie’s childish voice rang out again.
