Mission To Remarry Chapter 61

Mission To Remarry

After watching Lucian’s car depart, Roxanne brought Archie and Benny back to the mansion.

She squatted down and gave them a serious look. The two boys, too, looked at her as they knew their
mother wanted to talk to them.

“Archie, Benny, listen carefully. Don’t ever tell anyone about our family again-especially the fact that you
don’t have a daddy!” Roxanne felt her head throbbing when she recalled the incident earlier.

Thank God I managed to put a stop to their conversation. Given Lucian’s intelligence, the things the kids
said would have aroused his suspicion.

Archie and Benny looked perplexed. “Why not? It’s a fact that we didn’t have a daddy!”

Roxanne’s head pounded even more intensely when she heard their reply.

I can’t be telling these boys the real reason, can I? How can I tell them I’m afraid their biological father
will come looking for them?

After a short pause, Roxanne made up a story. “Because bad guys like kids who don’t have fathers.
They know mothers are not strong enough to protect their children. What if they snatch you away?”

The two geniuses exchanged glances. They thought the explanation was lame but decided to play along.
“Okay, Mommy.”



Roxanne sighed with relief. She got up, took her bag, and brought them to the research institute.



Meanwhile, after leaving Roxanne’s house, Estella was still sulking though she was not crying anymore.
Throughout the drive back, she pouted and looked at the view outside the window as if Lucian was not
around.

Feeling helpless, Lucian sighed and said in a deep voice, “Still mad at Daddy? I’m sorry, Essie. It’s all
Daddy’s fault. I shouldn’t stop you from making friends, but you can’t simply run away from home all the
time. Communicate with Daddy if you have a problem.”

Estella tilted her head to look at him. Instead of looking out the window again, she lowered her head and
stared at her tiny feet.

Lucian sighed again. He reached out his hand and gently stroked her head. “Instead of writing, you
should try to speak. Writing might not accurately convey your emotions and can sometimes cause
misunderstanding.”

Estella shook her head and brushed his hand off. She hugged her notebook even more tightly and
refused to put it aside.

Upon seeing his daughter’s reaction, Lucian frowned and fell silent.

All the years, everyone assumed Estella was a mute, and Lucian had never bothered to explain to the
public.

The little girl was not mute. In fact, she had learned to speak much earlier than peers her age.

However, Estella was later diagnosed with autism, and she gradually stopped talking to anyone. That
was why she preferred to write down her thoughts on paper.

Even when she was with Lucian, she refused to speak.
