Chapter 378
Roxanne was at a loss for words upon noticing how downhearted they were.
Thankfully, Archie and Benny knew their mother could not bear to leave Este either. Although they
were upset, they
eventually regained theirposure and continued finishing their dinner, sensibly not uttering another
word.
By the time Roxanne finished her dinner, she had drained everyst bit of her energy. The two boys
went upstairs to rest as they were not in the mood to y anymore.
Watching them sleep, Roxanne gently stroked their cheeks and whispered, “Sorry, darlings.”
At such a young age, Archie and Benny had to travel from one ce to another beca?se of her.
By right, these boys deserved a better life. Had she told Lucian the truth, the Farwell family would for s

ure take them back, and they would be able to enjoy all the privileges.
Yet, Roxanne chose to keep them by her side.
She had worked hard over the years to make it up to the boys, but it seemed what she did was far from
enough.
After watching them sleep for a while, Roxanne leaned forward and gave them a peck on their forehea
ds. She then stood up, turned off the lights, and left the room.
When they heard the sound of the closing door, Archie and Benny gradually opened their eyes and exc
hanged looks.
They heard Roxanne‘s apology because they had been awake all along. Why did Mommy apologize to
us? Did she do anything bad to us?
Returning to her room, Roxanne packed her things for a while before lying on her bed.
As she had a long day at work, she thought she would fall deep into slumber in no
time, but the moment she shut her eyes, all sorts of images kept popping up in her mind.
She recalled how Sonya confronted her in the café, how Este cried while pleading
with her to stay, and the disappointment on Archie‘s and Benny‘s faces.
Roxanne felt helpless. My life is nothing but a joke.
After working hard for so many years, she thought she had garnered enough strength to face the Farw
ell family, but that was not the case. To the Farwells, she was just another small fry.
Once again, she had to leave the city because of the Farwell family,

After what seemed like a long time, Roxanne finally fell asleep.
When the rm rang the next day, Roxanne woke up
with a headache. However, upon remembering Queen Group would deliver the herb today, she
forced herself to crawl out of bed. Even when she was freshening up in the bathroom, she was still very
much in a daze.
By the time she got downstairs, Archie and Benny were already having their breakfast by the table.
When the two boys saw their mothering down the stairs, they remembered how she had apologize
d to themst night.
Even
so, they believed Roxanne apologized to them when they were asleep because she did not want them t
o know, so they decided not to pursue the matter.
Looking at her face, they expressed their concern, “Did you not sleep well, Mommy?”
That question took Roxanne by surprise.
“You have dark circles under your eyes,” Archie added with a serious look as he was worried about her.
Upon hearing that, Roxanne
immediately understood what they were implying. stering a smile on her face, she said, “I couldn‘t sl
eep well because I had too much coffee at work yesterday. Thanks for your concern, darlings.”
The two boys looked at each other, skeptical about her answer. After asking her a few more questions,
they finally settled down.
After breakfast, Roxanne requested Lysa‘s help to send them to the kindergarten. Then, she went upst
airs to put on simple makeup and drove to the research institute.
During the drive to the research institute, she could help but feel a tad anxious.
Jonathan might have given her his promise, but somehow, she still felt insecure because she had not s
een the herb.
Based on her experience with the
other business associates, problems always urred during the delivery. Had she not called them to c
heck on the progress, they did not even bother to tell her the truth.
