The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1286

They got in the car after walking out of the restaurant. Lucian sat idly in the car for some time without starting the engine.

Roxanne gave him a puzzled look.

The moment she raised her head to look at him, she made eye contact with him.

Roxanne was momentarily stunned. For some strange reason, she felt slightly nervous.

After a moment, disappointment showed on Lucian’s face. “If only it’s pouring rain right now.”

His words took Roxanne by surprise.

The children looked at Lucian curiously. “But we won’t be able to go home if there’s a rainstorm!”

Lucian smiled in response. He didn’t say anything else and started the car.

The kids were still perplexed because their father didn’t give them a response.

Roxanne, on the other hand, immediately understood Lucian’s intentions after the children mentioned this.

In other words, he was telling her that he didn’t want to go home that night.

Her face flushed crimson, and she didn’t dare to look at him. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back now. The kids must be tired.”

The children blinked in confusion upon hearing Roxanne’s words. They could feel that the adults were insinuating something they couldn’t understand. Nevertheless, they didn’t say anything.

On the way home, Roxanne couldn’t fathom if Lucian was deliberately driving slowly in an effort to put the kids to sleep.

Roxanne lowered her head and stared into space blankly as she was also slightly tired.

By the time she snapped back to reality, they had arrived at her house.

Roxanne turned back to wake Archie and Benny so that they could get out of the car.

“Aunt Roxanne.”

Estella would be going home with Lucian now, so she was slightly reluctant to part with Roxanne.

Roxanne gave her head a reassuring pat and uttered, “You have stayed here for a long period. It’s time to go home.”
