The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1606

Worried that she would ask them more questions, Archie and Benny said that they wanted to play.

Roxanne put an end to her inquiries and began playing with them.

Soon, the four of them were playing together happily.

Roxanne was still fooling around with the children when Lucian came back.

“Has the matter been resolved?” she asked worriedly when she saw his grim expression.

The children also quieted down sensibly.

Lucian nodded in response. He looked at Archie and Benny and felt apologetic when he recalled his mother’s words.

“Come and play with us, Daddy!”

The boys could read their father’s mind. They came up to clasp his hands with a smile.

Lucian froze briefly before reaching out to hold their hands and allowing them to lead him to Roxanne.

The two then played with the children for a while longer.

Seeing the joy on the boys’ faces lessened the guilt within Lucian.

After playing with the children for some time and noticing that it was getting late, Roxanne urged them to get some rest.

The couple gazed upon the sleeping faces of the children with sorrow in their eyes.

“You go ahead and get some rest first. I want to make a few more calls,” Roxanne said to Lucian after they left the room.

The latter frowned slightly when he heard that. “It’s already so late. What calls do you want to make?”

Roxanne sighed softly as melancholy once more appeared on her features. “I want to try to contact Professor Lambert and see if he can help get in touch with sources abroad.”
