The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1350

At those words, Roxanne looked at the children in the distance who were having the time of their lives.

I wonder if it’s the feeling of security Lucian brings that makes the children appear much happier than they used to be.

She could not bear to spoil their mood, seeing as the children did not have many outings.

Roxanne steeled herself to reject Lucian’s suggestion. “I’m not unwell. My clothes just aren’t the best fit to get physical in.”

Lucian merely fixed her with a penetrating gaze. “Where? Are they too loose?”

Seizing the opportunity, Roxanne nodded.

His voice, carrying hints of displeasure, sounded a moment later. “It shouldn’t preclude you from playing with the children if it is loose fitting. I felt it when I hugged you earlier, and it fits you just fine.”

Roxanne’s cheeks grew redder than ever. She glared helplessly up at him.

My words could not be clearer, yet he still doubts me. Does he want me to spell it out?

Noticing the fury in the woman’s gaze, Lucian gave her an inscrutable smile and leaned in close to her.

Before she could retreat, he was already in front of her. “Did I buy the undergarments in the wrong size?” he asked softly, sweeping his gaze over her bust.

Instinctively, Roxanne covered them with her hands.

His low chuckle sounded again.

“I bought this according to an order you placed six years ago, but I’d forgotten you bore children. My mistake.”

Roxanne felt her ears scorch. She turned her head silently away from his hot breath at her ear.
