Chapter 702 Refrain From Eating That
Hello, Mr. Farwell,” Archie and Benny greeted when they came to their senses. Lucian nodded slightly. “Is your mommy not back yet?
The kids nodded obediently and glanced at each other guiltily. They had thought that it was Roxanne who had returned and almost screamed when they opened the door.
Fortunately, Estella had greeted Lucian first, saving them from embarrassing themselves. Lucian’s frown deepened when he saw their reactions. “What did you guys have for lunch,
then?”
‘As he asked, he scanned the house and saw the bucket of fried chicken on the dining table. “We had drumsticks!” Estella was still reveling in the excitement of eating fast food for the
first time and did not realize the look on Lucian’s face. “It was delicious!
Lucian’s eyes darkened when he heard his daughter’s answer. He then lowered his head and looked at the three children. Not only were their faces covered in grease, but they were
also all smiling in satisfaction.
Evidently, they were extremely happy with what they had for lunch. Lucian suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, “Who sent them?”
Estella turned toward Archie and Benny. Although she knew Madilyn, she didn’t know how to introduce her to Lucian. Seeing that
Estella was keeping mum, Lucian thought the children had ordered takeout on their own.
Right then, Benny piped up, “It was our godmother! Mommy told her to send us food.”
Lucian knitted his brows and gave it some thought. | think | know who their godmother is. Disdain flashed across Lucian’s eyes
when he recalled the previous time he met Madilyn. That woman doesn’t look reliable.
Having learned that it wasn’t Roxanne’s idea to feed the children fast food, Lucian said in a gentler tone, “Don’t eat too much of
this in the future.”
The children weren’t pleased when they heard those words.
Estella tilted her head in confusion and asked, “But why? It’s really, really yummy.” She looked at Lucian aggrievedly. “Unlike me,
Archie and Benny had it before. Why didn’t you ever let me try it, Daddy?”
Feeling a headache coming, Lucian pinched the space between his brows and replied, “It’s unhealthy.”
Besides, with their social status, they never needed to go out and buy food as such.
In fact, Estella had fried chicken before. It was just a healthier version prepared by their in-house chef.
Estella wasn’t satisfied with that answer. She blinked and wanted to tug at Lucian’s shirt sleeve to question further, but Lucian
pushed her back the moment she approached him.
Estella felt even more aggrieved when he did that.
‘Take off your gloves. They’re dirty,” Lucian said.
Only then did Estella realize what was going on. She slowly took off her pair of gloves, then returned to stand before Lucian once again after Archie and Benny brought her away to
wash her hands.
This time, Lucian didn’t stop her from approaching him.
Estella tugged at Lucian’s shirt sleeve and uttered in a piping voice, “Why is it that Archie and Benny are allowed to—
Hearing that she was asking about the fried chicken again, Lucian interrupted expressionlessly, “They’ll have to refrain from eating that from now on.”
Archie’s and Benny’s faces fell. Daddy is good in any way, but he abandoned us in the past, and now, he’s even stopping us from eating fried chicken
