Mission To Remarry novel Chapter 886

Chapter 886 Unease

“If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up now.”

Lucian waited for a moment before preparing to end the call when the two boys did not speak.

“Mr. Farwell, wait a minute!” The boys hurried to stop Lucian after hearing his words.

Lucian paused, complying with their request.

Cautiously, Benny glanced over at his mother while holding onto Archie’s watch. He said, “Mr. Farwell, are you busy at work? If so, you can send Essie to us. We’ll take good care of Essie together with Mommy.”

After uttering the words, Benny waited with bated breath for Lucian’s reply.

After all, Lucian had rejected their request to go visit Estella just moments ago. Hence, it would not be a surprise if this request was rejected as well.

In fact, he’s quite likely to reject it. Still, it was worth a try. Maybe Daddy will even agree to it!

Roxanne had not expected the boys to come out with their request so suddenly, leaving her feeling anxious.

A few moments later, Lucian’s voice sounded from the phone. “There’s no need. I will stay home and take care of Essie.”

Without waiting for them to speak, Lucian hung up right away.

The boys’ mouths were agape for a moment before awkwardly shutting. Then, they turned to look at their mother with woeful expressions.

As she was filled with frustration, the light in Roxanne’s eyes slowly dimmed.

However, she forced herself to smile and gently pat their heads when she saw their crestfallen expressions.

“Thank you, my darlings. Don’t worry. At least we found out that Essie’s all right.”

The two boys nodded obediently in response.

She leaned forward and tousled their hair, chiding them, “Don’t disturb him too much.”

Nodding demurely, Archie and Benny let out sighs of relief inwardly when Roxanne did not pry into the matter further.

Roxanne sat with the children in the living room for some time before leaving to prepare their afternoon meal when lunchtime drew near.

In the living room, Archie and Benny whispered among themselves.

“Archie, is Essie really okay?” Benny asked as he fiddled with his fingers to distract himself.

Pressing his lips together, Archie replied solemnly, “I don’t know either.”

Judging from Daddy’s tone, Essie didn’t seem to be okay.

Even if Lucian did not explicitly spell it out for them, they could guess the reason. Estella had likely fallen asleep after wearing herself out with the crying.
