The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1156

Chapter 1156

Upon returning to their mansion, Roxanne went to prepare dinner while the boys ran upstairs.

“Archie, was Mommy lying to us just now?” Benny could not help but ask his older brother right after he

closed the bedroom door.

Archie frowned, his countenance utterly taut. I sensed that there was something very weird about Mommy’s tone and expression as well when she answered us just now. In fact, she even avoided our gazes on purpose. It’s obvious that Mommy lied to us, but why? Could it be that Essie is having a tough time? Or could it be that Mommy didn’t go to see Essie?

The boys could not stop thinking about those two possibilities.

“Should we visit Essie ourselves?” Benny anxiously put forth a suggestion when he did not get a response from his older brother after a long wait.

Archie shook his head. “Let’s ask Mommy first. There must be a reason she lied to us.”

Mommy has been acting very weirdly ever since we came home today. Could it be that she bumped into Daddy when she went to see Essie?

At the thought of that possibility, he cast a glance at Benny and decided against voicing his speculation after a few seconds of hesitation.

His younger brother was too impulsive in matters concerning Estella. Since he was worried about her as well, he was afraid that Benny would sway him should he divulge his conjecture.

In their bedroom, Archie and Benny discussed ways to get their mother to tell them the truth.

In the meantime, Aubree, beside herself with fury, was driving toward Roxanne’s house.

Earlier in the afternoon, she had gone to the research institute. Not daring to raise a ruckus at that place lest she create more problems for herself, she opted to obtain Roxanne’s whereabouts by asking around. By the time she managed to confirm that the latter was absent from the research institute, hours had passed.

It was almost time for kindergarten students to finish their classes, so Aubree rushed to the kindergarten, but she got there too late.
