The children stood in line uneasily when they heard the word “punishment.” Solemnly, Roxanne swept her gaze past the three of them and remained quiet for a while. Then she pointed at the wall. “All of you will stand there for fifteen minutes.”
Although the boys were usually well-behaved, they had been punished before. They made their way to a corner and stood facing the wall. Estella moved exceptionally slowly.
When Roxanne saw that, she furrowed her eyebrows. Thinking that Estella still thought herself innocent, she urged, “You’ll need to stand there longer if you walk this slow.”
Upon hearing that, the girl gathered the courage to turn back to Roxanne. Roxanne was puzzled. Is the punishment too severe? Is that why she’s looking at me?
Aggrievedly, Estella asked, “If I accept the punishment, will you still like me, Ms. Jarvis?”
The girl’s question melted Roxanne’s heart into a puddle. “If you learn from your mistake and don’t repeat them, I’ll continue to like you, just as I always did.”

Estella’s eyes lit up as she promised, “Okay, Ms. Jarvis! I’ll definitely behave myself!” She quickened her pace and arrived next to the boys. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault for getting us punished.”
Archie and Benny shook their heads. “We’re best friends, and best friends share the joys and sorrows in life together!”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Abandoned Wife (Lucian)
GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
Wish there was more to the story, like how the triplets end up and if the twins are as smart as their older siblings. Beautiful story 😊...
Very best book out there, full of surprises and true love. Recommend to all....
