The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1399

Upon hearing that, Roxanne turned to him reflexively. It feels like we’re a married couple planning our next trip, but we aren’t because of my selfishness and worries. As a result, the boys still don’t have a father.

As she thought about that, a look of remorse flashed past her eyes.

Lucian detected the sudden change in her mood and inquired, “What’s the matter? Are you worried about the elderly in the nursing home?”

Pursing her lips, she squeezed out a smile at him. “It’s nothing. I was just thinking about the children and wondering how they’re doing right now.”

He comforted, “We’re returning in the afternoon, so we’ll see them soon. They’re smart, so they can take care of themselves.”

Roxanne nodded.

Moments later, Lucian parked the car in the underground parking lot under the commercial district. After they entered the mall, they went straight to the children’s department.

She knew what the children liked, so her hands were quickly full from carrying a bunch of stuff, like toys and clothes.

They shopped until it was afternoon. By that point, Roxanne’s mood was back to normal.

She glanced at her phone and saw no doctors had contacted her. Thus, she knew the situation in the nursing home was all right and went to pay for her items.

Just as she was going to use her phone to pay, Lucian handed his bank card to the cashier.

Roxanne was taken aback for a moment. When she returned to her senses, she rejected, “I can pay.”

While the items were meant for children, they cost more than ten thousand in total. Hence, she didn’t want him to pay.

However, he sternly said, “Some of these are presents for Essie. Besides, Archie and Benny like me. I feel like I should gift them something. I’m not great at picking presents, so I’ll pay for the ones you choose. Consider these our gift to them.”

Hearing that, Roxanne hesitated.

Meanwhile, the cashier grinned at her as they held the bank card. “Since you two are together, you should let him pay. Our store always has a rule that the dad should be the one to do it.”

Again, Roxanne pondered about her decision.
