The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1605

Chapter 1605 Interrogation

Meanwhile, Lucian pulled his car into the driveway of the Farwell main residence.

The butler was quick to welcome him politely. “Mr. Farewell.”

“Where's my mom?” Lucian asked in an icy tone.

The butler answered, “Mrs. Farwell has just finished her dinner, and she's now enjoying coffee in the living room.”

Lucian nodded and gestured to the butler not to trail behind him as he went inside.

He walked in to see his mother seated on the couch and sipping coffee while watching television.

“What brings you here?”

Sonya turned around when she heard footsteps approaching from the door.

The moment she saw Lucian, a strange look flashed across her eyes. She knew the boys must have complained about her to their father.

Lucian stormed toward her, grabbed the remote control, and turned off the television.

Sonya's face darkened instantly. “So, are you here to interrogate me?”

“Why did you leave Archie and Benny at the amusement park this afternoon?” Lucian asked expressionlessly.

Frowning, Sonya defended herself assertively, “It's a safe place! No one can enter the amusement park without a ticket. With plenty of staff everywhere, nothing can happen. The boys and Essie have completely different interests. Do you expect me to clone myself to accompany each of them?”

Lucian was not pleased with her attitude. “You said that only because they returned home safe and sound.”

Sonya stiffened, not knowing how to reply to that.

Lucian looked at her sternly. “The kids are so young. How could you leave them alone? Have you forgotten what it was like when Essie went missing?”

“How are these two incidents the same? Essie is a child of the Farwell family. Who are those two?”

“They are children of the Farwell family, too!” Lucian bellowed. “If something bad were to happen to them today, how should I explain myself to Roxanne?”

Sonya snorted. “Aren't they back in one piece now? All I did was let them play at the amusement park. How would I know they would go back by themselves?”

In other words, Sonya was putting the blame on the boys.

Lucian could not believe his ears. He roared, “What makes you think that you're without any fault? How is your action any different from those traffickers?”

Sonya grimaced. “How could you say that about me? I'm your mother!”

They continued quarreling.

Hearing the commotion, Elias came downstairs.

He asked for the full story when he saw the two locking horns fiercely.

When he learned that his wife had left two young boys to fend for themselves at the amusement park, he was astonished beyond words.

“I know you dislike Roxanne, but you shouldn't have taken your anger out on the two innocent children! How do we even explain to Roxanne if something really happens to the boys? How would you explain this to the public? You keep insisting that you're doing this for the sake of the Farwell family, but have you really considered the interest of the family before committing such an awful act?”

Sonya got so furious after both father and son lashed out at her. “Why are you speaking up for that woman?”

“I'm not taking any sides. If it was Roxanne who left the children alone, I'd do the same and kick her out of the house!” Elias stated firmly and righteously.

Sonya knitted her brows in disbelief when she heard him. “You want to get rid of me?”

Faced with an unreasonable wife, Elias was filled with rage.

Lucian did not intend to get involved in their relentless arguments. “I've made it clear to the children that you need to obtain my consent before taking them out in the future,” he warned coldly.

With that, he turned around and stormed off the mansion, leaving a troubled Elias with his willful wife.
