Mission To Remarry

“How are things over there? I'm sorry for what happened. I acted without thinking about the consequences.”

Realizing that she wanted to speak to Lucian in private, the kids knew better than to follow her.

After finding a quiet spot in the kitchen, Roxanne lowered her voice to a whisper as she said, “I know you did it to protect us, but that announcement was a little too sudden. Besides, Archie and Benny—”

Lucian cut her off, “It was my idea. Archie and Benny are going to become my children eventually anyway, so I figured I would grant them that identity right away.”

That was one of the reasons he made that announcement.
