The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1488

When the four of them arrived home, Roxanne was already done preparing dinner, and she was resting on the couch.

Upon hearing noises at the door, she woke up immediately and went to open the door.

“Mommy!”

The kids rushed toward her and hugged her legs.

Roxanne lowered her gaze and patted their heads with a smile on her face. “Did you guys have fun today?”

Benny nodded fervently before turning back to look at Lucian with his pair of bright eyes. “Yes! Daddy brought us to the amusement park, and we watched a movie!”

Roxanne smiled when she heard the joy in Benny’s voice.

She only realized how Benny had addressed Lucian a few seconds later. When she did, the smile on her face froze.

Instead of asking Benny what was going on, she gave Lucian an inquisitive glance.

Noticing that, Lucian explained matter-of-factly, “I told them to address me so when we’re in the public. After all, I’ve already made it known to the public. If others were to hear them addressing me another way, it would be troublesome.”

A weird look flashed across Roxanne’s eyes when she heard that. She patted the kids’ heads and kept mum. It’s a matter of time before they address Lucian as “Daddy.” That’s something I have to accept. I just hope the kids won’t blame me after they find out about their backgrounds.

Archie sensed the awkward atmosphere and broke the silence by saying, “Mommy, I’m starving!”

Roxanne came back to her senses and answered, “Let’s eat! Go and wash your hands, okay? I’ll heat up the food.”

The kids nodded obediently, took off their shoes, and entered the house.

Lucian washed his hands first and followed Roxanne into the kitchen.

His presence was just impossible to ignore, and it led to Roxanne recalling the kiss they had shared at that exact spot. Her body stiffened instantly.
