Chapter 799 Stay And Look After Mommy
Meanwhile, Madilyn was keeping Archie and Benny company at Roxanne’s house while waiting for her to come home. The two kids would usually pester her to play games with them, but that wasn’t the case that night.
For some reason, they both seemed distracted and barely paid attention to what she was saying. Madilyn pretended to get mad at them and asked, “What’s the matter with you two? Do you not like me anymore?”
Archie and Benny shook their heads. “We do, Aunt Madilyn.” “Then tell me what’s wrong. Why do you two look like you’re in a bad mood?” Madilyn pressed on patiently.
“W-We’re just worried about Mommy. We don’t want her to end up drinking too much. Don’t mind us, Aunt Madilyn,” they replied while exchanging nervous glances with each other.
In reality, they were wondering if Lucian managed to catch up to Roxanne or if he allowed her to be with Jack instead. They were especially concerned since Lucian and Roxanne had gotten into a fight before leaving the house.
Madilyn could tell that the kids didn’t feel like talking, so she decided to stop asking any further and sat down beside them.
I thought I finally understood Roxanne’s relationship with Lucian, but that argument they had earlier left me all confused…
The three of them were waiting on the couch when a car pulled up outside the mansion.
Madilyn was the first to snap out of her daze and glanced at the clock. It’s half past ten! Who could be coming over at this hour?
“Is Mommy home?” Archie and Benny asked in unison.
Roxanne should be able to open the door on her own if she’s home…
With a confused frown on her face, Madilyn got up and made her way over to the intercom.
The first thing she saw was Lucian standing outside the door with Roxanne lying weakly in his arms.
Madilyn blushed a little when she saw how intimate the two of them were. She then quickly turned around and told the kids, “Ahem… I think you two should head on upstairs.”
Naturally, they refused to do that and simply stood there staring at the door.
As Lucian continued ringing the doorbell, Madilyn had no choice but to open the door and make way for him.
“Whoa, she reeks of alcohol! Why did she drink so much?” Madilyn exclaimed when she noticed the strong smell of alcohol coming from Roxanne.
Archie and Benny came running over and tugged at the hem of Roxanne’s shirt. “Mommy?”
Roxanne was still in a daze after being woken up by her kids. All she did was shoot them a brief glance before closing her eyes again.
It wasn’t the first time they had seen Roxanne come home drunk, so they had already gotten used to it.
Usually, they would fetch her some water and medication to help her sober up.
However, the two had a different idea when they saw Lucian carrying her in his arms. They then tugged at his sleeve and said, “Mommy looks really drunk, Mr. Farwell. Could you stay and look after her?”
Madilyn was a little upset when she heard that. She had no doubt that Lucian would take good care of Roxanne, but she couldn’t stand the kids asking him for help while she, Roxanne’s best friend, was still there.
Madilyn was about to offer to stay and look after Roxanne, but the kids were faster. They turned around and looked her in the eye as they continued, “Aunt Madilyn needs to go to work early tomorrow, so she can’t stay up late.”
