The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1553

Roxanne was merely annoyed while watching the film earlier. Now that they exited the movie theater, she thought she was blowing things out of proportion earlier.

“No, it’s just that my occupational disease is acting up. It’s good enough that the plot of the movie was well-defined. There’s no need to dwell on such minor details.”

Lucian, however, still seemed a little apologetic. “I thought you’d like such genres. I’ll change to something else next time.”

As if a sudden thought popped into her head, Roxanne teased, “Then let’s watch something related to trade wars next time. I look forward to Mr. Farwell giving me a lesson too.”

Lucian’s eyes darkened upon seeing how she had taken the initiative to joke with him. Without hesitation, he agreed, “Sure. I’ll accompany you as long as you want.”

His decisiveness left Roxanne feeling somewhat guilty. “Well, forget it. Once is enough for such an unpleasant experience. Let’s change to something unrelated to our profession next time…”

At that, Lucian lifted his gaze and glanced at her through the rearview mirror.

As their eyes met, they shared a smile.

It was already nine at night when they arrived back at the manor.

The two headed inside the mansion with multiple bags in their hands.

Meanwhile, the three kids, who had been home since Cayden sent them back earlier, had their minds focused on their gifts and waited patiently for the entire night.

The moment Lucian and Roxanne stepped into the house, the kids flocked toward them excitedly.

“Daddy! Mommy!”

With Lucian carrying almost all of the bags, Roxanne, with her empty hands, bent down and rubbed the kids’ heads adoringly with a smile. “Have you all been good at home? Did you all listen to Ms. Catalina?”

The kids exclaimed in unison, “Of course, we are! We even helped Ms. Catalina prepare meals!”

The smile on Roxanne’s face grew wider when she heard those words.

“Mommy, where are the presents for us?”

Benny stared at Roxanne expectantly, to which she lifted her head and directed her gaze toward Lucian.
