Chapter 801 Covered In Vomit
With a frown on his face, Lucian made his way over and knelt in front of them. “There’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you two… Why are you two helping me?” he asked after a brief moment of hesitation.
Archie and Benny exchanged glances before breathing sighs of relief. Phew! And here we thought Daddy knew about our secret!
“That’s because you treat Mommy and Essie really well!” Benny said in the sweetest voice possible.
Lucian glared at the two of them in an attempt to determine if they were telling the truth.
Unfortunately for him, he didn’t know them all that well, so he couldn’t tell if they were lying or not.
After staring intensely at them for a few minutes, Lucian retracted his gaze skeptically and stood up straight. “It’s getting late. I’ll take care of your mommy, so you two can go to bed now.”
The kids nodded obediently and left the room, feeling incredibly relieved that they were able to avoid further questioning.
Since Lucian hardly showed any emotion, they couldn’t help but wonder how he would react after learning the truth behind their identities.
Lucian waited until the kids were gone before turning to look at Roxanne, who was fast asleep. “Even the kids can tell that I’m treating you well. What about you? How do you feel about me?” he asked while letting out a helpless sigh.
Of course, she didn’t respond since she was out cold.
Lucian then sat down on her chair on the balcony and started working on his phone.
After what seemed like forever, he heard a noise coming from the room.
Lucian quickly put his phone down and went to check on Roxanne.
For some reason, she had a deep frown on her face and seemed to be mumbling something in her sleep.
As Lucian leaned in close, he heard her saying, “Why do you keep ignoring me, Lucian? Am I not good enough for you?”
Lucian tensed up as he recalled her doing something similar when they went on vacation.
I still remember how she got drunk and began mumbling about stuff that happened six years ago. Why does she keep saying this? Hmm…
After giving it some thought, Lucian found the answer to his question.
Roxanne fell head over heels for me six years ago, but I was so caught up with repaying the Pearson family’s kindness that I ignored her completely. I bet she went through the exact same pain that I’m experiencing now… Well, I suppose it makes sense that she doesn’t see how well I’m treating her right now.
With an apologetic look in his eyes, Lucian held her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.
He was about to say something when Roxanne furrowed her brows all of a sudden.
The next thing he knew, she woke up and struggled to cover her mouth with her hand, but it was too late. She then bent over the side of the bed and began vomiting.
As Roxanne instinctively tightened her grip on Lucian’s hand, he wasn’t able to back away in time and got covered in vomit.
