Chapter 393: I adore kids now?
"Who told you all about this?" Lucius asked, his gaze shifting between them.
"Take a guess, Boss," Roger responded with an eager grin.
Lucius exhaled sharply, thinking for a moment. "Was it Roderick?"
"No," Aiden interjected smoothly. "It was your father."
Before Lucius could react, Roger stepped forward, crossing his arms. "Boss, why didn’t you tell us? Aren’t we your family?" he demanded, feigning offense. "If there was anyone eagerly waiting for this good news, it was me!"
Before Lucius could respond, Layla spoke up. "Because I told Lucius we should keep it quiet for a while. Besides, we planned to tell you all today at the office. To the rest, it was meant to be revealed on Christmas."
Lucius turned his attention back to Roger, narrowing his eyes. "And why, exactly, were you so eager for this news?"
Roger puffed out his chest, grinning mischievously. "Boss, just imagine—telling your future kids that I’m their uncle! It’ll be fun. And let’s be honest, you never liked kids, so this new Chapter is bound to change you."
Layla snapped her head toward Lucius, her brows furrowing. "You don’t like kids!?"
Lucius instantly shook his head. "Don’t listen to him."
But Luca wasn’t about to let him off so easily. With a smirk, he added, "Still, shouldn’t you explain to your wife why you supposedly ’didn’t like’ kids?"
