The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1052

Chapter 1052 Below Minimum Temperature

Archie took the chance to sprint out of the mansion with Estella in tow. They then hid in a corner and waited for Benny to leave. Inside the mansion, Catalina had just poured a cup of water for Benny and assumed he was about to go upstairs.

To her surprise, Benny gave her a polite bow. “Thank you, Ms. Catalina. I shall take my leave now.” Catalina frowned in puzzlement. “What about Archie?” They both came together, so she couldn’t understand why they would leave separately.

Benny pursed his lips guiltily. “Archie left a while ago. He and I snuck in here without telling Mommy, and we were busted. She’s probably giving him an earful right now.”

Catalina nodded understandingly. She found their antics amusing. I can’t believe they came this far just to visit a friend. Ms. Jarvis must be beside herself with worry.

She suddenly recalled what happened previously and offered, “I’ll ask someone to give you a ride home.” Benny waved his hands anxiously. “N-No need for that. My mommy is waiting for me outside,” he stammered out a lie.

Catalina didn’t ponder over his words and nodded. “Be careful.” Benny bobbed his head obediently and trotted out of the mansion. Once he was outside, he quickly ran toward Archie and Estella.

Archie waved at them. “Let’s go!” The other two agreed and trailed dutifully behind him.

After they exited the manor, Archie and Benny were especially vigilant. They had Estella with them, so it would be bad for them to encounter the older children they previously met.

Fortunately, they didn’t come across those kids throughout their journey and successfully arrived at the junction.
