Chapter 805 How Are You Feeling
Roxanne chatted with her sons as they descended the stairs together.
In the middle of breakfast, they heard the sudden ring of the doorbell.
The boys looked up, their eyes filled with anticipation. Thinking it was their father who had come to see their
mother, they snuck a glance at the door.
Roxanne, baffled by the boys’ sudden delight, got up to open the door.
“Roxanne.” Standing at the door was Madilyn, who craned her neck to peek inside as if she was looking for
someone when the door opened.
Roxanne was about to check with Madilyn about last night when the boys hurried over and looked up smilingly at
their godmother.

“Aunt Madilyn, have you had breakfast? Do you want to join us?”
Madilyn had wanted to ask when Lucian left, but the boys interrupted her. She bent down to tousle their hair and
declined with a smile, “I’ll pass. I need to go to work. You boys enjoy yourself.”
She then turned her attention to her best friend. “How do you feel? Are you having a bad hangover? I saw you
drinking a lot last night.”
Roxanne reassured her, “I’m fine, other than a minor headache. Anyway, it should be easily cured with a day’s
worth of rest.”
Hearing that, Madilyn nodded with relief and did not ask any further question.
Truth be told, she had to work an additional shift that day. With the hospital calling incessantly to pester her, she
could only drop by briefly on her way to work.
Upon learning that Roxanne was fine, she said a short goodbye before driving away.
Once their godmother was out of sight, both the boys heaved a sigh of relief.

That was close. Aunt Madilyn almost let it slip.
Even though Lucian’s actions didn’t make sense to them, the boys believed that their father must have had his
reasons.
After all, Lucian knew they were on his side and wouldn’t have gotten them to keep the secret unless he deemed it
necessary.
With Madilyn’s car gone, the increasingly curious Roxanne lowered her gaze at the boys.
If I’m not mistaken, Madilyn seemed to be looking for someone. However, the kids noticed it before she said
anything. That’s why they were so anxious to change the topic. I’m sure they must be hiding something from me.
Knowing that she might not get to the truth even if she asked, Roxanne decided not to pursue the matter. After they
were done with breakfast, she sent them to the kindergarten.
Upon their arrival, they saw Estella holding Lucian’s hand at the entrance.
The sight of Lucian triggered a strange feeling within Roxanne.

She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she vaguely remembered hearing his voice the night before.
“Ms. Jarvis.”
Estella’s piping voice jolted her back to her senses, and she looked down at the former with a smile.
Estella raised her head and looked at Roxanne with concern. “Ms. Jarvis, how are you feeling?”
Roxanne was thrown into confusion by how abrupt the question was.
“Daddy said that you had a lot to drink last night,” Estella said innocently.
Roxanne looked at Lucian hesitatingly, briefly stunned.
Lucian had on a calm look. “She caught the smell of alcohol on me, so I told her about it.”
Not expecting Lucian to explain himself to her, Roxanne was taken aback for a few seconds. Then she turned to
Estella and replied softly, “Thank you for your concern, Essie. I’m feeling a lot better now.”
Relieved, Estella responded with an obedient nod.
