The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1349

Lucian could tell Roxanne only had the children’s best interests at heart, so he did not force her. “Let’s go.”

The children lowered their arms slowly upon hearing his voice and studied Roxanne with surreptitious smiles.

Although they had covered their eyes earlier, their ears had remained open, and they had heard it all.

Mommy promised to wear a dress like this only for Daddy. Does that mean Mommy has him in her heart? No, Mommy has always been thinking of Daddy. She was only forced to reject his proposal because of Grandma.

Archie’s and Benny’s smiles faded a little when they thought of that.

A second later, they were swept off their feet into their father’s embrace.

The boys froze in surprise before catching sight of the ocean in the distance, and their faces lit up once more.

With Roxanne leading Estella by the hand, the five of them sauntered along the beach.

Tired of being carried too long, the boys became so restless and bored that they struggled to free themselves from Lucian’s arms.

Accommodating their wishes, Lucian placed them on the beach, and the children chased each other into the distance.

Feeling a little worried, Roxanne strode after them.

Lucian jogged along, but at the thought of something, he slowed to a stroll in their wake.

A twinkle appeared in Lucian’s eyes as he watched Roxanne play with the children. He fished out his phone and took some photos of them.

Remembering how much she enjoyed taking pictures of the children the last time they went on vacation, he felt a responsibility to document the children’s growth.

Although she had never mentioned it, Lucian knew she would love to be in the children’s lives.

However, there was never anybody else to take her place behind the camera, which resulted in her absence in the photographs.
