The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1317

Noticing that Lucian still had a look of guilt in his eyes, Roxanne pursed her lips and held his hand as she added, “Nothing like that will happen to Essie ever again.”

“We’ll do our best to protect Essie too!” Archie and Benny chimed in.

The look in Lucian’s eyes softened up a little after he heard that, much to Roxanne’s relief.

“Maybe I should bring Essie over to my place for the day. She has been through quite a lot today,” she suggested.

Roxanne could tell that Estella was still unable to accept Sonya, so she was worried that Lucian’s decision to have Sonya stay over at the manor would affect Estella’s emotional state.

Estella wrapped her arms tightly around Roxanne’s neck upon hearing that as she wanted to stay with her.

However, Lucian did not approve of Roxanne’s suggestion. “Take her to the bedroom and get some rest. Essie won’t pay too much attention to anything else with you around.”

Roxanne was a little hesitant to do so, but Estella nodded profusely in agreement.

I’m not afraid of anyone as long as Aunt Roxanne is with me!

Roxanne couldn’t bring herself to say no when she saw the expectant look in Estella’s eyes. Eventually, she gave in and brought the three kids over to Estella’s bedroom.

Lucian, Cayden, and Cory were the only ones remaining in the living room.

Having witnessed Lucian unleash his wrath upon Aubree earlier, Cory was exceptionally cautious when approaching Lucian. “M-Mr. Farwell…”

Whatever warmth Lucian had in his eyes had disappeared when he turned around and asked, “How much do you want?”

“T-Thirty million will suffice!” Cory replied nervously while holding up three fingers.

Lucian turned around and instructed Cayden, “Go ahead and pay him three hundred thousand. I do not want to hear anything about him in Chanaea starting tomorrow!”
