In the meantime, Archie and Benny had switched off the lights and were lying on their beds in the darkness, but they couldn't fall asleep.
Benny climbed out of bed and crossed the room to Archie's bedside. "Archie, say. Do you know why Mommy doesn't want to marry Daddy?" he asked as he shook Archie's arm. Archie sat up with a troubled look on his face. "I don't know either."
He paused for a beat before the corners of his lips curled into a smile. "But we found our sister! Isn't that great?" he exclaimed as though to console Benny and himself. Benny nodded fervently in agreement.

"But when will Mommy tell Daddy we're also his children?"
Recalling how Lucian lifted them into his arms earlier, Benny couldn't hide his disappointment. "I also want to be like Essie. I want to have a mommy and a daddy. I don't want to call Daddy 'Mr. Farwell' anymore."

Archie pondered briefly before shaking his head and disagreeing with Benny. "I don't think so. Mommy only considers Mr. Damaris a friend at most."
After Mommy accepted Daddy, there is a massive difference in the way Mommy interacts with Mr. Damaris and Daddy. The look in Mommy's eyes whenever she looks at Daddy is different from when she looks at Mr. Damaris.
Hearing Archie's disagreement, Benny felt even more perplexed. "Then why didn't Mommy say yes to Daddy?"
