Chapter 893
Chapter 893 I Will Look For Them With You
“Mr. Farwell.” At the thought that they had almost given their father’s lie away earlier, Archie and Benny
stood up and greeted Lucian guiltily.
Inclining his head a fraction, Lucian swept a dark look over them both. A sense of warning seemingly
hit Archie and Benny through the air, upon which the expressions on their faces turned much more
docile.
They could surmise that he was cautioning them against saying something they shouldn’t be saying.
Seeing that they had grasped his meaning, Lucian nodded slightly and ced the snacks meant for
them on the table.
“Just tell Ms. Catalina if you need anything. I’m going to settle some things.” All three children bobbed
their heads in unison.
Without saying anything further, Lucian whirled around and left.
He was so absorbed in brooding over Roxanne’s thoughts just now that he forgot to remind Archie and
Benny to be mindful of their words.
For that reason, he offered to do it instead when Catalina said she was going to take some snacks
upstairs.
Watching as the bedroom door closed once more, Archie and Benny inwardly breathed a long sigh of
relief.
Phew! Daddy was really scary earlier!
Following Lucian’s interruption, Este forgot all about their conversation just now. She proceeded to
share the snacks with Archie and Benny.
Soon, they all yed together while munching on the snacks.
The matter about Roxanne was thrown at the back of Este’s mind.
…
Meanwhile, Roxanne had finally forced herself into working mode after much effort. Engrossed in work,
she identally lost track of time.
By the time she came out of the study, it was already growing dark.
Recalling the failed lunch at noon, she thought of making it up to Archie and Benny by going downstairs
early to prepare dinner.
She initially reckoned that they would be ying downstairs, but there were no signs of them when she
went to the floor below.
“Archie? Benny?” she called in a raised voice, giving their absence little thought.
When a while passed without any response, her heart sank.
She swiftly went upstairs and peeked into Archie and Benny’s room by the door, but they weren’t there.
Neither were they in the backyard.
Only then did she realize that they had left at some point in time.
For a moment, sheer panic swamped her.
They had just returned to the country not long ago, so she couldn’t figure out where Archie and Benny
could have gone.
After racking her brain for some time, she took a chance and knocked on Madilyn’s door.
Her best friend’s house was the only ce she could think of where Archie and Benny might have
gone.
Coincidentally, Madilyn was on leave at home. She happened to be napping when she heard the
knock, so she was still pretty groggy when she opened the door.
“What is it, Roxanne? Are you here to invite me to dinner? I’ll pass since I still want to sleep.”
Having said that, she made to close the door without standing on ceremony with Roxanne.
Roxanne, on the other hand, frowned. “Did Archie and Bennye over to look for you?”
At that, Madilyn screeched to a stop in her tracks, her drowsiness disappearing into thin air. “No. Have
they gone missing?”
In truth, Roxanne had a sinking suspicion of the answer the moment sheid eyes on her best friend
earlier.

She only went ahead with that question because she still harbored a shred of hope within her.
Her hope finally died when she received Madilyn’s negative answer. Consequently, her heart sank even
further.
Realizing that something had happened, Madilyn hurried back into the house and snagged a coat,
draping it over herself. “I’ll look for them with you!”
Archie and Benny aren’t familiar with the environment in the country. I really hope they didn’t get lost!
Worried beyond words, Roxanne didn’t decline the offer.
They first searched around the neighborhood. When there were no signs of Archie and Benny, they
climbed into the car to look somewhere farther.
Unfortunately, they were both at a loss after doing so, for they had no idea where Archie and Benny
could have gone.
