Chapter 64 Elise didn’t pursue the matter further. Since Estella wanted to
learn those two words, he decided to teach her. They both had the
housekeeper bring a pencil and paper, then started practicing writing at the
dining table in the dining room, Seeing that his father was taking care of
Estella, Lucian excused himself and went upstairs to his study. Meanwhile,
Aubree was seething. She could tell that Estella was evidently trying to keep
her distance from her. The latter had been turning her down in front of the
Farwells. If this continues, Mr. and Mrs. Farwell will definitely notice something
amiss! No, I’ve got to find an opportunity and teach that brat a lesson so that
she’ll behave! Because of Estella’s sudden visit, it was almost ten o’clock
when Roxanne arrived at the research institute with Archie and Benny. After
settling them in her office, she started working without delay.
The data Colby proposed hadn’t been processed, so he sought her out right
away upon learning that she had arrived.
The two of them proceeded to devote themselves wholly to work. It wasn’t
until it was time to get off work in the evening that they came to a conclusion
at long last. Stretching, Roxanne caught sight of her two sons who were
studying something or other on their laptops. “Archie, Benny, we can go home
now,” she called out gently. Hearing that, Archie and Benny lifted their eyes
from behind the laptops and nodded docilely. They put the laptops down and
got up from the couch. Colby glanced at the time before suggesting with a
smile, “It’s just dinner time now. You’ve done me a great favor today, so how
about me treating you and the kids to a meal?”
Roxanne was stunned for a moment. She turned to her sons to seek their
opinions. Archie and Benny exchanged a look, understanding dawning upon
both of them. Well, it’s clear as day that Mr. Galloway wants to pursue
Mommy. Having observed the man for a day, they felt that Colby was indeed
very much outstanding. In terms of career, at the very least, he had common
topics with Roxanne. On top of that, his looks were also passable. For some
inexplicable reason, however, only their father’s countenance flashed across
their minds whenever they imagined a man with their mother. How strange.
We’ve never seen Mommy and Daddy standing side by side, but weinstinctively feel that Daddy is the only one who’s worthy of standing by
Mommy’s side. Therefore, it’s best that we keep a distance from Mr.
Galloway! “Thank you, Mr. Galloway, but my mommy already has a date
tonight. So, it’s okay,” Archie declined politely. Colby looked at Roxanne in
mystification. Throughout the day, he hadn’t heard her mentioning about a
date that night. Roxanne swept a gaze over Archie and Benny. While she
couldn’t fathom why they lied, she still went along with them. “I have a dinner
date with my best friend tonight. I’ll take a rain check.” At that, Colby flashed
her a warm smile. “I’m all muddled from work that I forgot to ask whether you
have plans later. In that case, I’ll head off first.” After saying that, he bid Archie
and Benny farewell before spinning on his heel and leaving. When they left
the research institute, Roxanne eyed Archie and Benny questioningly with her
brows slightly furrowed. “Why did you lie earlier? Do you not like Mr.
Galloway?” In response, Archie and Benny shook their heads solemnly. “We
were helping you turn a suitor down.” Roxanne was torn between
exasperation and amusement at the sight of their earnest expressions.
“Regardless of the reason, you can’t simply lie in the future.” The two boys
nodded obediently. noveldrama
Benny leaned close to her with a grin. “We feel that Mr. Galloway is indeed
pretty good, but you can still choose for a bit, Mommy. There’s no need to
rush. Archie and I aren’t in a hurry to have a daddy anyway.” Roxanne
inexorably burst into giggles. “Choose? Do you think it’s the same as choosing
groceries at the supermarket?”
