Mission To Remarry Chapter 556

"I know you didn't mean it.I just need some time to recover from the shock," Roxanne comforted Benny
with a smile.

The boy gazed at her doubtfully for some time.

When he was finally convinced that she meant what she said, he nodded slowly, pursed his lips, and
gave her a hug.

"Let's have breakfast.It's getting late" Roxanne said, caressing his head.

All the children nodded, and the four of them went downstairs together.

A five-person breakfast was ready on the table by the time they got down.It seemed that Lucian had
taken the food in and laid them out on the dining table.He was scrolling his phone on the couch when
they came down.His sleeves were rolled up, revealing a pair of lean and muscular forearms.

When Roxanne saw that he was working, she held the children’s hands and asked them to walk
silently, but the man still noticed them in the end.He looked up at Roxanne, and their gazes met.

What had happened the previous night instantly came back to Roxanne's mind.She hoped she could
find traces of his thoughts on his face.

But even after seconds of staring at him, she found no sign of any emotions in his eyes.It was as if his
nonchalant gaze was telling her that everything that had happened the night before was but a dream.I
know it was real.I saw the glass of water and hangover pills on the table this morning.I can't believe I
ended up telling him how I felt six years ago.



Ever since Roxanne woke up that morning, her mind had been a mess as she tried to guess how
Lucian felt about what had gone down the night before, yet the man’s indifference was upsetting.It
seemed to show Roxanne that her worry was redundant and that she had been overthinking.

His unconcern made Roxanne feel pathetic, so she withdrew her gaze from him and continued walking
down the staircase with the children.

"Daddy!"

Estella exclaimed the moment she saw Lucian.

The man quickly shifted his gaze toward Estella and nodded lightly, putting away his phone and
standing up.

"Good morning, Mr.Farwell," Benny greeted.

Both Roxanne and Lucian were stunned when they heard the boy.

Lucian was expecting Roxanne and the two boys to ignore him completely because the children had
always disliked him.

So when Benny greeted him without Roxanne telling him to do so, Lucian was completely caught off
guard.

Likewise, Roxanne was also astonished by Benny's abrupt act of affection.Yet on second thought, the
adults knew why there was a change in his attitude.

The boy must have come to like Lucian after the man found him.It was just that they were not expecting
such a radical change overnight.

After seconds of silence, Lucian smiled back at the boy, nodding.



"Good morning, everyone.Let's have breakfast.The food has been there for a while."

The children nodded and hurried toward the dining room.

Behind them, Roxanne still felt heavy-hearted, and she walked in slowly.

Her anxious gaze wandered aimlessly as she tried her best not to make any eye contact with Lucian.

When she went past the bar counter, she could not help but sneak a quick glance at the bottle of wine,
trying to see how much alcohol she had taken that made her so drunk.

There's less than a third left.Wait...Roxanne furrowed her brows.I may be tipsy yesterday, but I can
vaguely remember drinking only half of the bottle of wine.
