Chapter 613
Mission To Remarry
Roxanne sensed Archie and Bennyâs suspicion. Concealing her unease, she calmly led the children to the couch.
After Roxanne rested at home for a week, her leg injury had made a decent recovery, and she could already walk unassisted.
Nonetheless, Lysa and the children fussed over her condition and insisted she rest for a couple more days at home.
As the three of them settled on the couch, the childrenâs attention remained on the rejected flowers, and they asked, âMommy, why didnât you accept the flowers?â
Roxanne did not expect her childrenâs question and struggled to come up with a reply.
Noticing her strange behavior, Archie asked, âThe delivery man didnât answer our question. What if he sent the flowers to the wrong house?â
The words had barely left his mouth when Archie hopped off the couch, shooting his mother a final glance before declaring, âIâll go check with the delivery man. What if he really sent the flowers to the wrong house?â
With that said, he actually began walking toward the door.
Frowning, Roxanne ordered, âCome back here, Archie.â
Her son pretended not to hear her as he walked resolutely to the door.
Roxanneâs reaction confirmed their suspicions that this was not the first time she had received the flowers.
If weâre going to have a new daddy, we need to know who he is!
Her sonsâ obstinance caused Roxanneâs heart to sink, and she desperately tried to think of a diversion.
A moment later, Roxanne winced in pain and bent down to cradle her injured leg. âBenny, help Mommy see if my wound reopened.â
Her words startled the boys.
Benny clambered off the couch, carefully inspecting his motherâs wound, while Archie stopped his march toward the door and hurried back to the couch.
The boys scrutinized Roxanneâs injury for a long time, and she took advantage of the Archie and Benny might be young, but even they knew what a gift of roses meant.
Someone gave Mommy roses!
The boys exchanged curious glances. Are we getting a new daddy soon?
As the same thought crossed their mind, the boys simultaneously turned to the door.
They were about to ask who had sent the flowers when Roxanneâs voice rang out behind them. âPlease send the flowers back.â
The boys jumped in surprise at their motherâs voice.
Mommyâs sending the flowers back without even looking at them?
Roxanne dared not look at her sonsâ expressions as she walked to the mansionâs door and smiled politely at the flower shopâs employee. âThank you, and sorry for the trouble.â
The employee stared at Roxanne in awe.
He was finally seeing the mysterious recipient of his weekâlong flower delivery.
The woman before him wore a simple but elegant nightgown. Her long hair was artfully disheveled, while her features were so striking that even without makeup, it was impossible to tear oneâs eyes away from her face.
One look and the employee immediately understood why Lucian sent his unwilling recipient flowers with such dogged determination.
Just then, Benny asked innocently, âSir, may I know who sent these flowers?â
The employee snapped out of his trance and looked at the two boys before him. He was about to reply to Bennyâs question when Roxanne interjected, âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâm bringing the children in.
Sorry.â
With that, Roxanne closed the door on the employee.
She did not want her children to learn of Lucianâs flower deliveries.
âMommy?â Archie and Benny stared at their mother in confusion after she abruptly closed the door.
Roxanne acted as though nothing was amiss as she ruffled the boysâ hair and said, âT donât know who gave me the flowers either, but I donât plan on keeping them.â
The boys exchanged a suspicious glance.
They knew their mother too well, and she did not react as though this was her first anonymous flower delivery.
In fact, she even seemed scared to see the flowers.
What is Mommy so scared about?
