Yet, none dared to voice their thoughts because Lucian had solved the problem they were supposed to. By the time Lucian left the IT department with Cayden, it was nearly ten at night. Just as he arrived at the company entrance, he stopped, lifted his head, and stared at the night sky.
When Cayden saw Lucian stop moving, he thought the latter was angry and spoke carefully. “Please don’t get angry, Mr. Farwell. They-”
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Lucian say, “I want to use the small helicopter from the last time later. Make the appropriate arrangements for me.”
Cayden was about to ask Lucian more questions, but the latter stepped past him and got into the car. Seeing that, he swallowed the questions at the tip of his tongue and made calls to fulfill Lucian’s request.
Lucian drove all the way back to the Farwell residence. Upon entering the building, he saw Roxanne and the children were still in the same spots as when he left. He didn’t notice how anxious the children were until after he discovered the hacker’s IP address.
When the children saw his return, they shuddered and quickly approached him with ingratiating smiles. “You’re back, Daddy? Is the company doing all right?”
Furrowing his brows, Lucian pretended to stare at them with a serious look. “None of you have anything to tell me?”
The moment he ended his sentence, the children promptly exchanged silent glances while looking dejected..
Upon noticing the serious atmosphere around her family, Roxanne approached them in confusion. At the sight of their savior, the children quickly hid behind her.
“What’s the matter?” Reflexively, she shielded them and gazed at Lucian with worry. Lucian looked at her and then at the children, feeling amused and exasperated. “You should ask them. Even though they’re still young, they’re quite bold”
In response, Roxanne turned to look at the children. “We were wrong, Mommy…” Benny apologized as he gripped the hem of Roxanne’s shirt. “Can you ask Daddy not to get angry?”
“We were just goofing around,” Estella chimed in. “We didn’t expect to trouble Daddy…”
“We’re sorry, Daddy. We won’t do it again,” Archie said sensibly. Confused by the children’s apologies, Roxanne turned to Lucian.
Lucian approached the children and pinched. their cheeks. “If I hadn’t gone to the company, Mr. Lawson would’ve called the police.” Upon hearing that, they felt even more guilty. “We know we were wrong, Daddy. Please don’t be mad at us!”
“It’s my fault! I wanted to hack into the company’s system. If you want to blame someone, blame it on me!” Benny came forward. “I just wanted to prove to Essie that I’m really good with computers.”
Then he grumbled, “Besides, I only infected the system with a simple virus I created as a prank. I didn’t expect…” I didn’t expect the employees in Daddy’s company would fail to deal with it and have to ask Daddy for help!
His complaint amused Lucian even further. “It’s all right. I don’t blame any of you. I was just surprised by how talented you all are.” A smile settled on Benny’s countenance when he heard his father’s praise.
“It’s evident that we can skip the basics. This week, I’ll be testing all three of you. Then, based on the results, I’ll draw up your future curriculum,” Lucian added. Without hesitation, the children agreed. They were aware that his skills were above theirs.
Finally understanding what had transpired, Roxanne reprimanded, “You three went too far. How could you hack Daddy’s company’s system as a prank?” Then she turned to Lucian anxiously. “Did the company lose any important documents?”
Lucian smiled at her comfortingly. “No. The boys were mindful of their actions and only played a prank on my employees, but their computer skills surprised Cayden and almost prompted him to call the police until he was reminded to contact me first.” Hugging his mother’s leg, Benny said cheekily, “It was really just a prank!”
Lucian’s assurance and the children’s cheeky acting extinguished Roxanne’s desire to admonish the children. She reminded them in a severe tone, “I know all of you are talented at operating computers, but it’s not a tool for pranks. They should only be used for beneficial purposes.”
The children nodded obediently and apologetically. Seeing that Roxanne was somewhat angry, Lucian hugged her in front of the children. “They’re still young. Besides, they’ve learned to be more mindful today. I’ll teach them the rest in the future.”
Roxanne blushed with embarrassment as Lucian acted intimately with her in front of the children. Upon witnessing their father defending them, the children said to their mother confidently, “That’s right! We’re still children, so you can’t get angry at us, Mommy.”
Then, when they saw their parents hugging, they tactfully turned around and closed their eyes. “It’s getting late.” Roxanne struggled out of Lucian’s embrace frantically. “The children still need to attend school tomorrow and rest soon!”
Lucian released her and said, “I’ll bring them to their bedroom. There’s something else I want to talk to them about.” The children’s faces fell even though they already had a feeling their father wouldn’t forgive them that easily.
Thinking Lucian would talk to them about that incident, Roxanne nodded and watched him bring the children upstairs. After bathing the children, he watched them lie on their beds.
“Are you still angry at us, Daddy?” Benny hid half of his face under the blanket. “Will you forgive me if I tell you about the hole in the company’s system?”
When hacking into the company’s system, he discovered a hole in its advanced firewall, so he inserted a secret program into the virus.
After the virus was cracked, the program would activate and patch the hole in the system. Lucian patted the boy’s head. “I’m aware of it, and I know you all patched it.”
Benny sighed in relief. “Then are you still angry?” Lucian shook his head. “I was never angry at any of you. I just wanted to tell you all a story.”
The children’s eyes lit up. “Daddy’s going to tell us a bedtime story?” His nod spurred the children to tuck themselves into their blankets obediently and close their eyes. “We’re ready! You can tell us the story. now, Daddy!”
They were excited because it would be their first time listening to Lucian telling them a bedtime story. Lucian began, “Once upon a time, there was a man called Jack-”
“Is this the story about Jack the Poet?” Archie opened his eyes and stared at his father with curiosity. Grinning, Lucian nodded. Benny lifted his eyelids, too. “I know this story! Mommy told us before!”
“Then do you know the moral of the story?” Lucian asked. Upon hearing that, Benny turned to his brother.
Archie furrowed his brows and thought about the question quietly for a moment before answering, “The moral of the story is that we should study and don’t waste our talent. Otherwise, we’ll end up like Jack.”
Benny nodded seriously. They have pretty good comprehension, Lucian smiled. “I’m happy that you two know the moral of the story.”
“We know what we did wrong. Daddy! We promise we’ll study hard in the future! You can monitor us!” the boys apologized in unison. Their attitude was a lot more genuine compared to earlier.
Lucian caressed their heads and tucked them in. “All right, it’s getting late. You all should rest early. I’ll leave after you’ve fallen asleep.”
The children nodded obediently and closed. their eyes. As he promised, he only left after they fell asleep.

With Lucian’s intelligence, i guess their identities will be discovered soon. Let us not wait for Roxanne to reveal it because it will take so long.
Wow nice story.. More chapters to read…
Nice story…
Hope the kids also will hack mr damaris system to teach him a lesson
Wonderful..
I want to know Lucian s reaction on knowing the kids identities.
Thanks
I’m enjoying the novel all the way. Anticipating more favorable scenes. Love the timeliness now. Quicker updated appreciated.
Thank you for being consistent
I enjoyed reading the revelation of the twin boys hacking and their father getting to know how advanced their computer skills were.
LOVING IT ❤️
Jack is finally showing his true colors. He is in for the money, not to help the people afford their medications. His behavior at first was to have Roxanne believe that he was a good person. He is selfish, and thinks he is entitled to what ever he wants and doesn’t care who he step on to get it. I wonder if Lucian figure out the boys are his sons due to their computer skills. I hope Sonya stays away from the manner and leave her son and his family alone. Thanks again, keep up the good work, and keep the chapters coming. 👍
I’m so in love with this novel
But is getting much long
Isnt going come to end
K really can’t wait for Lucian to discover the boys real identity and for Sonya to realize that Roxanne is daughter in-law she has long wanted
Please more update and more wisdom and strenght

Wow! it’s amazing how intelligent the kids are which significantly portrays them taking after their father’s brilliance. Oh I wish he could know by now that the twins are his flesh and blood. Please release more chapters.

Very interesting. Hopefully we will get the update as quickly as last time. Will be waiting!!!!!
I can’t wait to read more. It’s really like a sitcom series read and I love it.
Finally Lucian knows the children are extremely intelligent though he suspected them the hack of Pearson Group because of Aubree. I hope Roxanne tells Lucian that he is their father, and they inherited the tech genius from him. He already loves them and adores them.
I really give kudos to blood ties. Lucian is becoming accustomed to his role as a father
Love this novel can’t wait to read the next chapters
Eagerly looking forward to more chapters 😀
So eager to see Lucian learn about his children…so so interesting to read….

There has been no mention of the boys or Essie’s birthday. There should be an upcoming celebration that would prompt a discussion. That could be a reason for the revelation to Lucian and Sonya. Thank you for the updates and please keep the chapters coming. I check daily for updates!
