The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1554

Lucian met Roxanne’s gaze calmly. An accusatory look danced past his eyes, almost like he wanted to tell on her.

Roxanne retracted her gaze in annoyance and leaned over to carry Estella up. “Come on. I’ll bring you upstairs to try on the dresses.”

Estella reached out and held onto Roxanne tightly.

Just as the two turned and strode toward the stairs, a commotion resounded from upstairs.

“You guys better be careful. Don’t break or drop anything.” Sonya’s slightly displeased voice rang in everyone’s ears.

Puzzled, Roxanne lifted her gaze, only to find several housekeepers moving many bags down under Catalina’s instructions while Sonya followed behind, with displeasure written all over her face.

When Sonya saw Lucian, Roxanne, and the kids downstairs, her expression darkened even more.

Roxanne carefully put Estella back on the couch, then whipped her head around to look at Lucian with a questioning look, seemingly asking him what the situation was about.

Lucian shifted his gaze onto Sonya and asked, “Mom, why are you moving back at such a late time? Can’t you move back tomorrow?”

Sonya responded with a cold snort. “I bet you can’t wait for me to move out! I’m just an eyesore to all of you here!”

After saying all that, she swept her gaze across the bags of gifts on the couch. As she spotted several bags with familiar brand packaging, she immediately shot Roxanne a ferocious glare.

All these are new clothing! Lucian must’ve paid for everything! This woman bears to let my son fork out so much money when they aren’t even married. Wouldn’t things only become worse in the future?

Sonya’s burning gaze was so intense Roxanne could sense it, but her voice stuck in her throat.

Fortunately, Lucian stood up for her and explained, “Roxanne bought me many clothes. I’m gifting her a few pieces in return.”

A tinge of guilt rose within Roxanne when she heard the man’s explanation.
