The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1472

Roxanne felt Jack’s tone sounded a little peculiar.

Moreover, she also knew the kids weren’t fond of him, so she rejected him on the spot, “That’s not needed. Benny’s injury has almost recovered. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Damaris.”

Jack replied, “It’s better to take more precautions since he’s just a child. I have a special ointment passed down in the Damaris family. I’ll bring it over in a while to visit him.”

Sensing his insistence, Roxanne couldn’t bring herself to refuse him again, so she had no choice but to agree.

After hanging up the phone, Roxanne summoned the children and informed them about Jack’s visit.

“Mommy, can you ask him not to come?” Benny was reluctant to meet with Jack.

Roxanne felt helpless, listening to Benny’s words.

“I did turn him down, but he was determined to come. He has your best interest at heart, so don’t blatantly show your dislike toward him later.”

With that, she turned to Estella. “And you, Essie. Do not repeat what you did previously. I’ll ask him to leave as soon as possible.”

Estella nodded reluctantly.

Although Roxanne had punished Estella by asking the latter to stand in a corner, the little girl didn’t feel she had done anything wrong.

Roxanne could tell the children were unhappy with that arrangement. She let out a sigh of resignation. I don’t know what to do with these kids.

Not long after, Jack showed up at the mansion’s entrance.

Roxanne opened the door and welcomed him into the house.

“Hello, Mr. Damaris,” the three kids greeted him politely but none-too-enthusiastically.

Seemingly ignorant to their indifference, Jack strode up to Benny. “I heard that you were injured. Let me take a look.”

He reached out and grasped Benny’s wrist after saying that.

Benny was averse to Jack. Although the wound on his wrist had almost recovered, he feigned agony when Jack touched him and swiftly retracted his arm.
