The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1573

Upon noticing the serious atmosphere around her family, Roxanne approached them in confusion.

At the sight of their savior, the children quickly hid behind her.

“What’s the matter?” Reflexively, she shielded them and gazed at Lucian with worry.

Lucian looked at her and then at the children, feeling amused and exasperated. “You should ask them. Even though they’re still young, they’re quite bold”

In response, Roxanne turned to look at the children.

“We were wrong, Mommy…” Benny apologized as he gripped the hem of Roxanne’s shirt. “Can you ask Daddy not to get angry?”

“We were just goofing around,” Estella chimed in. “We didn’t expect to trouble Daddy…”

“We’re sorry, Daddy. We won’t do it again,” Archie said sensibly.

Confused by the children’s apologies, Roxanne turned to Lucian.

Lucian approached the children and pinched their cheeks. “If I hadn’t gone to the company, Mr. Lawson would’ve called the police.”

Upon hearing that, they felt even more guilty. “We know we were wrong, Daddy. Please don’t be mad at us!”

Lucian smiled at her comfortingly. “No. The boys were mindful of their actions and only played a prank on my employees, but their computer skills surprised Cayden and almost prompted him to call the police until he was reminded to contact me first.”

Hugging his mother’s leg, Benny said cheekily, “It was really just a prank!”

Lucian’s assurance and the children’s cheeky acting extinguished Roxanne’s desire to admonish the children. She reminded them in a severe tone, “I know all of you are talented at operating computers, but it’s not a tool for pranks. They should only be used for beneficial purposes.”

The children nodded obediently and apologetically.

Seeing that Roxanne was somewhat angry, Lucian hugged her in front of the children. “They’re still young. Besides, they’ve learned to be more mindful today. I’ll teach them the rest in the future.”
