Mission To Remarry

Chapter 1041 Too Late

“Mommy…” The kids leaned on Roxanne’s knee anxiously as they said, “We’re fine, Mommy! Don’t worry about us.” Roxanne’s expression darkened as she examined the wounds on their arms.

“I know you’re all missing Essie, and I don’t blame you. But take a look at your injuries! Why did you lie to me?” She could tell that the injuries weren’t the result of a simple fall. Furthermore, it was unlikely for both kids to fall at the same time.

Noticing their mother on the verge of tears, Benny glanced at Archie guiltily and muttered in a low voice, “We bumped into a few older kids along the way, and they chased after us.”

He then explained further, “Thank goodness Archie was there to defend me, and we were able to return home!”

Seeing that Benny finally told the truth, Archie decided to shoulder the blame himself. “If anyone is to blame for this, it’s me, Mommy. I was the one who wanted to bring Benny out.”

Roxanne’s gaze darkened. “Why would they chase after you? Were they trying to rob you?”

Just when Archie was about to speak, Benny blurted out, “No. Archie wanted to give them some money, but they declined. They even claimed to have already received their payment…”

Upon hearing those words, Archie quickly shot Benny a look that made the latter shut his mouth meekly.
