Seemingly not hearing those words, Lucian drank his tea and fixed his attention on his phone to deal with his work matters.
On the other hand, upon learning that those gifts were for them, Archie and Benny looked at each other, then shifted their gazes toward Roxanne in unison.
They could not wrap their heads around the current situation. Grandma was very cold toward us previously. She even says that we aren't Daddy's children. But now she's gifting us clothes and toys?
Estella's curiosity was piqued as well. She strode over and asked, “Grandma, you only bought gifts for Archie and Benny? You didn't get anything for me?”
Immense awkwardness filled Sonya as she only managed to garner a response from Estella. She smiled at the little girl and hastily explained, “I'll get something for you another day; is that all right? I went to a boys' clothing store today.”
Nodding, Estella popped another question. “Grandma, so are you willing to acknowledge Archie and Benny now? Did you realize that they are looking more and more like Daddy?”
In reality, a child's words were the most innocent but, at the same time, the most truthful.
Sonya had always been reluctant to accept the truth. Now that Estella had reminded her, she could not help but look closely at Archie and Benny.
Indeed, they're becoming more like Lucian, especially their eyes. They're almost like a replica of the younger Lucian.
Sonya curled her lips into a smile and beckoned to the two boys. “Archie, Benny, come over and try on these clothes. See if they fit well.”
Hearing that, the two boys shook their heads in unison. “There's no need. Mommy will buy them for us. Thank you!”
There was no greeting in that straightforward rejection.
Tears began to cloud Sonya's eyes.
Nonetheless, she maintained her smile. “Yeah, your mommy takes good care of you two. I'm the one who isn't qualified to be your grandmother. I'm at fault.”
Roxanne could not help but feel her heart soften when she heard what Sonya said.
She turned to the two boys and nodded in approval. “Go on. Go and try the new clothes Grandma bought for you two. Remember to thank Grandma!”
The two boys were initially a little stumped but eventually agreed to it cheerily.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Abandoned Wife (Lucian)
GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
Wish there was more to the story, like how the triplets end up and if the twins are as smart as their older siblings. Beautiful story 😊...
Very best book out there, full of surprises and true love. Recommend to all....
How did she leave a child behind with her husband that was same age as her two boys. This makes no sense....
