The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1589

Roxanne had been in a meeting the entire afternoon. Yet, there were still no leads. She looked gloomy when she returned to the Farwell residence.

“Mommy, why didn’t you pick us up in the afternoon?”

Lucian had picked the children up that day, and they had been asking for Roxanne the entire evening.

The second she returned, Benny immediately went to meet her at the door. His disappointment was written all over his face.

Seeing that, Roxanne forced a smile at them. “I was busy in the afternoon. I’ll pick you up once I’m done with my work.”

Lucian, who was observing them by the side, raised his brow. “Are you guys upset that I picked all of you up alone? Or maybe you prefer Mr. Lawson more?”

Upon hearing that, the children hurriedly hugged his thighs. “No! We don’t want Mr. Lawson. We want you, Daddy!”

“Run along and play, then,” said Lucian while patting their heads.

The children’s gazes shifted from Roxanne to Lucian. They could tell the adults had something to talk about, so they tactfully dispersed.

Lucian approached Roxanne and caressed her face. “Still no leads?”

It was Roxanne’s first time feeling so disheartened. She could not help but become clingy as she placed her forehead on his shoulder. “Yeah. I really don’t know what to do. I’m so tired. I never knew negotiating businesses was so tiring.”

Lucian pulled her into his arms and patted her back gently. “Don’t worry. I’ve already asked Jonathan to contact all the medicinal herb suppliers in the country.”

Roxanne smiled. “Thank you.”

Lucian lowered his eyes to meet her gaze. “Just don’t forget what you promised me.”

When their eyes met, Roxanne could sense the sincerity and affection in his gaze. Immediately, she blushed and nodded with a smile.

Right then, Catalina had served dinner and called them to have their meal. The two ended their conversation and led the children to the dining table.
