Benny frowned and corrected himself, "It only hurts a little!"
To emphasize his point, he even made a gesture of a pinching hand with his thumb and index finger.Seeing how insistent the kid was, Roxanne couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Lucian, too, smiled and patted Benny on his head. "You're a tough boy, Benny."
Upon hearing his father's compliment, Benny held his head high and beamed with pride.
Archie, on the contrary, felt a twinge of envy for his brother and glanced at his mother.
Argh. | wonder when Mommy will accept Daddy's proposal. That way, I'll also have a chance of being praised by Daddy in thefuture...
“How's his injury? Is it serious?" Lucian asked as he turned to Roxanne, who was still treating Benny's wound.
"I've developed a medicine recently to treat bruises, and it's pretty effective," she explained. "In the meantime, however, Bennywill have to take extra care of his wrist. He can't be as reckless as before.”
That was a reminder Benny had long heard from his mother, but even so, he couldn't hold back from putting on a sad face infront of his father.
Lucian gently caressed the boy's face and smiled. "There, there. Remember to be extra careful during this time. That way, you'llrecover faster."
Having been comforted by his father, Benny nodded obediently in response.
Aglint of exasperation flashed across Roxanne's eyes when she realized her son was acting cute.
The nerve of this kid... He hasn't known Lucian that long, yet he's already clinging to him.
“By the way, I'll bring more medicine over in a while. Take some with you when you leave," Roxanne suddenly added.Lucian promptly nodded without saying anything.
After tending to Benny's injury, Roxanne still had a lot on her mind, so she told the kids to run along and play.
Soon, only she and Lucian were left in the dining room.
"What's the matter?" the latter asked as soon he saw how distracted the woman was.
Roxanne furrowed her brows. "I had agreed to let them take Essie home, but in the end, | still took her back to mine. Will yourparents think I'm not a woman of my word?"

Lucian instantly walked up and pulled her into his embrace. "Don't worry. I'm still here. No matter what happens, I'll alwaysprotect you and the kids."
Feeling the comforting warmth from Lucian’s arms, Roxanne began to feel more at ease.All of a sudden, the sound of Lucian's phone ringing broke the peaceful silence in the dining room.Lucian glanced at his phone screen, only to realize it was a call from the head of the kindergarten, Jeffrey.
