Chapter 1062 Spill the Beans
“I’m sorry.” Roxanne lowered her head. Upon hearing that, Benny knew Roxanne had bought his lie and let out a
sigh of relief in secret. He lowered his guard even further when he heard his mother apologizing to him.
He tugged her sleeve obediently. “I don’t blame you, Mommy!” Roxanne forced a smile, but she still felt remorseful.
Benny tilted his head and blurted out his thoughts, “If you really feel sorry, make Mr. Farwell our daddy! Archie and I
like him a lot!”
Roxanne’s heart clenched when she heard that. It was the first time she had heard the boy express his opinion
about Lucian to her. Is it because they’re related by blood that they love him so much?

Roxanne felt the urge to tell Benny about his background, but then she thought about her relationship with Lucian.
If Lucian learns that the boys are his children, he won’t let them stay by my side.
At that thought, she pinched her palm silently and swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.
“Mr. Farwell is going to marry someone else in the future, and there’s nothing I can do about it.” She patted his
head comfortingly. “However, I can promise you that your future daddy will be someone you and your brother will
like!”
Naturally, Benny was disappointed when his proposal was rejected by his mother. However, he found himself
understanding his mother’s decision when he recalled her precarious relationship with his father.
He was determined to help his parents reconcile with each other. Unwilling to face Benny’s disappointed
countenance, Roxanne stood up and grabbed his tiny hand. “Come on. Let’s head back to Essie.”

The boy bobbed his head and followed her downstairs. Archie and Estella were planning how to encourage their
parents to make peace with each other.
When they heard footsteps, they swiftly separated from one another like frightened little animals and sat on the
couch, acting as though nothing had happened.
Roxanne stared at them with amusement. “What secrets were you two talking about?” Calmly, Archie replied, “I
was just telling Essie that Benny is very good with computers.”
Estella nodded in cooperation. “Mm-hmm! I’m great at it, too!”
Roxanne turned to the girl, surprised. No one would’ve expected someone as adorable and innocent-looking as her
to be skilled at computers. I certainly didn’t. Then again, she is Lucian’s child. In that context, it’s not shocking to
learn she has a very high IQ.

“What did you need Benny’s help with, Ms. Jarvis? If he can’t help you, maybe I can give it a try,” Estella offered.
Roxanne glanced at Benny before grinning at the other children. “It’s nothing much. I’m not that familiar with
computers, so I asked him to teach me a thing or two about a problem I was having.”
Benny nodded in agreement.
While Estella didn’t think much about her lie, Archie had a good guess why his mother had asked his brother for
help. He was slightly worried as he wondered how Benny had answered her questions.
He noticed his little brother’s expression appeared a bit odd. He didn’t spill the beans, did he?
He couldn’t help but panic.
When Benny sat by his side, he asked in a whisper, “Did you let it slip?”
He only relaxed when his brother assured him that didn’t happen.
