Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 1809

Seemingly not hearing those words, Lucian drank his tea and fixed his attention on his phone to deal with his work matters.

On the other hand, upon learning that those gifts were for them, Archie and Benny looked at each other, then shifted their gazes toward Roxanne in unison.

They could not wrap their heads around the current situation. Grandma was very cold toward us previously. She even says that we aren't Daddy's children. But now she's gifting us clothes and toys?

Estella's curiosity was piqued as well. She strode over and asked, “Grandma, you only bought gifts for Archie and Benny? You didn't get anything for me?”

Immense awkwardness filled Sonya as she only managed to garner a response from Estella. She smiled at the little girl and hastily explained, “I'll get something for you another day; is that all right? I went to a boys' clothing store today.”

Nodding, Estella popped another question. “Grandma, so are you willing to acknowledge Archie and Benny now? Did you realize that they are looking more and more like Daddy?”

In reality, a child's words were the most innocent but, at the same time, the most truthful.

Sonya had always been reluctant to accept the truth. Now that Estella had reminded her, she could not help but look closely at Archie and Benny.

Indeed, they're becoming more like Lucian, especially their eyes. They're almost like a replica of the younger Lucian.

Sonya curled her lips into a smile and beckoned to the two boys. “Archie, Benny, come over and try on these clothes. See if they fit well.”

Hearing that, the two boys shook their heads in unison. “There's no need. Mommy will buy them for us. Thank you!”

There was no greeting in that straightforward rejection.

Tears began to cloud Sonya's eyes.

Nonetheless, she maintained her smile. “Yeah, your mommy takes good care of you two. I'm the one who isn't qualified to be your grandmother. I'm at fault.”

Roxanne could not help but feel her heart soften when she heard what Sonya said.

She turned to the two boys and nodded in approval. “Go on. Go and try the new clothes Grandma bought for you two. Remember to thank Grandma!”

The two boys were initially a little stumped but eventually agreed to it cheerily.

Slightly taken aback by the situation as well, Lucian threw a glance at Roxanne.

Roxanne, however, upon giving the boys the green light, carried Estella in her arms and headed upstairs to help the little girl wash up.

Sonya froze in shock for a good few seconds. A complicated look flashed across her eyes as she

stared at Roxanne's retreating back.

In truth, Roxanne's stand was simple—it was undeniable the kids were the Farwell family's grandchildren, and they would forever share a familial bond with Sonya. No matter what, she did not see a need to deliberately suppress that connection.

Hence, as long as Sonya was willing to get close to the kids, it did not matter to Roxanne, even if the former were to deny her as her daughter-in-law.

Snapping back to her senses, Sonya quickly took the clothes out of the bags and helped Archie and Benny put them on. As she did that, she kept asking the boys if they liked the clothing she bought for them. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“Yes! We like it! Thank you, Grandma!”

“Of course we do! Grandma, these clothes probably cost a lot, don't they? Thank you, Grandma!”

When Sonya heard how the boys addressed her, her body trembled slightly. Recalling everything she had done, she felt a sense of regret intensify within her.

Faced with the boys' gazes pure and innocent-looking gazes, Sonya was overwhelmed by guilt and pain. At once, her eyes turned red with tears.

Yet, Lucian did not comment anything. Instead, he merely turned to Archie and Benny and uttered, “I'm heading to the study. Remember to shower and head to bed on time later!”

The two boys bobbed their heads in agreement before diverting their attention back to the toys Sonya

bought for them.

“Oh my gosh. Benny, quickly take a look! It's Evangelion-01's toy figurine! Where did you get this, Grandma? I tried looking for it for a long time but couldn't find it!”

“Archie, there's this too! Grandma also got us Gundam! It's a collectible! It's very tough to lay one's hand on! Thank you so much, Grandma!”

There were many boxes of toy figurines. Every time the two boys picked up a box, they would exclaimed in excitement.

Listening to the boys' ecstatic cheers, Sonya felt a sense of relief wash over her.

I made too many mistakes, and because of that, I'll need time to make up for what I did.
