“Mommy, how are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort?”
Archie and Benny stared at her with concern.
Roxanne could see her pale expression reflected in her children’s eyes, so it was completely understandable that they were really worried.
Roxanne stated apologetically, “I’m all right now. I must have scared you guys yesterday. I’m sorry for that.”
Benny reminded her in his childish voice, “You have already apologized to us yesterday! Also, we don’t need you to apologize because we only want you to be healthy and well!”
Roxanne felt touched by their words, and a smile spread across her face.
“Essie is also worried about Mommy. She was so scared she burst into tears when she dreamt that you fell unconscious.”
When Benny noticed Estella hiding behind the other children, he took a step back so Roxanne could see her.
Estella’s head was lowered as she sneaked a peek at Roxanne.
She remembered Roxanne flatly refusing to let her call the latter Mommy the last time she asked her.
However, she had repeatedly called Roxanne Mommy when the latter was unconscious the night before.
She was afraid Roxanne would remember and be upset with her.
Roxanne noticed the disconcerted look on Estella’s face. It made her heart ache, so she pulled Estella into her embrace.
“Mom—”
Perhaps it was because Estella’s mind was full of thoughts of the events on the previous night that she almost called Roxanne Mommy, but she quickly realized that she had said the wrong thing and hastily uttered, “Ms. Jarvis.”
Roxanne suddenly felt nervous when she heard Estella’s first word and only breathed a sigh of relief after the latter changed her words. She smiled and stroked Estella’s head. “I’m sorry. I said I’d go to the kindergarten to see you, but I haven’t yet. Did you wait a long time for me?”

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....
