The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1329

Even though Roxanne and Estella had been by each other’s side a lot recently, their feelings toward each other were much different from before after the truth was revealed.

Roxanne had so much she wanted to tell her lost daughter. Similarly, Estella had a lot she wanted to say to her mother.

The two lay in bed and chatted endlessly, never running out of topics to talk to each other about.

“I drew a lot of pictures of me and my mommy, but none of those mommies in the pictures were as pretty as you.”

Estella looked at Roxanne with glee in her eyes, her smile so sweet and lovely that it softened Roxanne’s heart. “Now that I found you, can you draw pictures with me, Mommy?”

Roxanne’s heart nearly melted into a puddle at her question. “Sure. Let’s do everything together!”

Estella’s eyes sparkled with delight. “Archie and Benny too! I want to do everything with them too!”

Roxanne promised with a laugh, “Archie and Benny will be by your side too.”

“Mommy,” Estella suddenly whispered into Roxanne’s ear.

Playing along with the little girl, Roxanne put on a curious expression. “What’s wrong?”

Estella said softly, “Can you tell me who is Archie’s and Benny’s daddy?”

Even though Mommy and Daddy are already together, I still wish they can progress to the next stage. I know this is something that’s been bothering Daddy.

The smile on Roxanne’s face stiffened ever so slightly when she heard Estella’s question.

Archie’s and Benny’s father… How am I supposed to tell Essie that she and the boys share the same parents? If I tell her the truth, will she ask why I refused to say yes to Lucian even though we are an actual family in the first place?

Despite knowing that Estella wouldn’t have thought of that question with her current level of intellect, Roxanne still couldn’t help worrying about it.

“Archie’s and Benny’s daddy… You’ll know who he is in the future.” Roxanne gently caressed Estella’s head, her tone laced with guilt.

Disappointment crossed Estella’s face when she didn’t get the answer she wanted.
