    Chapter 707 Let Us y A Game


    Archie held out the flower again hesitantly. “There are plenty of lilies in Mommy’s bouquet. That’s why I


    dared to take one of them.” Lucian’s brows furrowed as he finally understood what Archie meant.


    Someone obviously sent those flowers that Roxanne brought back as a thank-you gift. I was the one


    who misunderstood the whole thing. No wonder she flew into such a rage!


    Lucian’s expression rxed drastically after he realized the truth of the situation. He swept his gaze


    over to Roxanne, who was busy in the kitchen, then turned back and took the lily Archie was holding.


    “I’m sorry. I jumped to conclusions. Essie and I will stay for dinner.”


    With that, he set Este down. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Este shot her father a re


    before running off toward the kitchen to look for Roxanne.


    In the living room, Lucian held the lily taken from Roxanne’s bouquet of flowers with a frown. He and


    the boys stared at each other for some time.


    Archie and Benny could see Lucian’s frustration, and they snuck nces at each other with troubled


    looks in their eyes. Daddy and Mommy often argue, but it’s clear that Mommy is very angry this time.


    What can we do to help them make up?


    Over in the kitchen, Este clung to Roxanne’s leg. Roxanne, still fuming with anger, was perplexed


    when she saw Este running into the kitchen, looking aggrieved. “What’s the matter, Essie? Did the


    brothers bully you?”


    As she spoke, she cast a nce toward the door. That doesn’t make sense. The boys have always


    been fond of Essie, so why would they bully her? Apart from the boys, the only other possible culprit is


    Lucian.


    The next second, Este’s reply confirmed her suspicions. “It was Daddy! He’s a meanie!” Este said


    huffily,ining about her father to Roxanne.


    Este’s response did not surprise Roxanne. However, thetter was still curious about what caused


    Este to be so angry. “How was he mean to you?”

    Puffing out her cheeks, Este recounted what had happened angrily. “Daddy wanted to take me home


    and wouldn’t let me have dinner with you!”


    A look of surprise shed across Roxanne’s eyes. Lucian did mention taking Essie home just now, but I


    already shot him down. I didn’t think he’d still go ahead with it. I wonder how she managed to run in


    here.


    As the thought went through her mind, she subconsciously lifted her gaze, worried that Lucian would


    suddenly barge in. Once she looked up, however, she spotted Archie and Benny standing at the


    kitchen doorway.


    “Mommy, let’s y a game together!” Benny said with a bright smile. His words threw Roxanne for a


    loop. Pursing his lips, Archie nodded solemnly. “Yes, let’s y a game!”


    Seeing that the usually serious Archie was also suggesting they y a game together made Roxanne


    even more confused. And for some reason, his cheeks are so flushed.


    Este burrowed into Roxanne’s arms and turned to look at Archie and Benny curiously. They were so


    anxious when Daddy nearly took me home, and I’m still mad about it. Yet, they want to y a game


    now. How strange.


    Just as Este was wondering what was going on, Benny winked at her discreetly and signaled for her


    to look through the doorway at Lucian. Getting his hint, she reluctantly nced at her father.
