The word “homewrecker” was a cruel term.
However, Lucian was the reason behind Aubree’s guts to call Roxanne that.
Realizing that, Lucian felt a suffocating pain in his heart, followed by an overwhelming guilt.
When there was no answer from Lucian after some time, Benny started to panic. “Mommy’s not a homewrecker!”
Lucian snapped back to reality and patted his head with a heavy feeling. “How could your mommy be a homewrecker? She’s—”
Lucian stopped talking and said no more.
Surprisingly, the children did not press on.
The answer about Roxanne not being a homewrecker was enough to make them relieved.
Lucian got up from among them, informing, “I’m going upstairs to have a look. Stay here and wait for me, okay?”
The children nodded fervently and watched Lucian head upstairs.
When he reached Roxanne’s room door, he knocked on it, but there was no response inside.
“Roxanne, it’s me. Open up. I want to talk to you.”
It was Lucian’s first time calling out her name so gently when she was conscious.
Roxanne, who heard his tone from the room, felt as if her heart were crumbling.
“I’m sorry. I heard about what happened from the children. Aubree and Frieda came looking for you and even caused you a lot of trouble. It’s my fault for not protecting you and the children well.”
She had a feeling what Lucian was going to say next was something she would never imagine hearing.
“Six years ago, I didn’t realize my true feelings in time, which made you leave in disappointment.” Lucian’s tone sounded grim and determined at the same time. “Now that you’ve come back to me, I won’t ever let you leave. I won’t spare anyone who hurt you. I’ll definitely give you an answer regarding Aubree’s matter.”
Thinking back to how Lucian had been treating her recently, Roxanne felt her heart waver.
It was as if there was a voice in her heart telling her to trust Lucian again and to give him another chance.
If things did not work out, she could just go somewhere far away, like how she did six years ago.
After all, she had already come back from the brink of death. A little pain was nothing.
Hence, she opened the door mindlessly.
Lucian, who was still apologizing outside, stopped the moment the door opened. He then stared intensely at the door.

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....
