The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183

With that, the door to the mansion slowly closed, and Estella‘s tiny figure was gone from Roxanne‘s sight.

Missing the little girl dearly, Roxanne took a deep breath and forced her tears back in.

They had spent quite some time together, and the kid had obviously grown fond of her and the boys. On top of that, her illness showed evident signs of improvement

If at all possible, Roxanne wished that she could continue to stay with Estella and take care of the latter until she had completely recovered. How I wish I could hear her say a full sentence…

Unfortunately, it seemed that was no longer possible.

As Archie and Benny walked down the stairs after Roxanne and Estella, the boys could tell that their mother was sad to send Estella away. Although they, too, felt the same, they kept their words to themselves.

When they saw how saddened their mother was, they snuggled up in her arms and promised, “Don‘t be sad, Mommy. We promise we will always be with you.”

Roxanne hugged the cuddly kids in her embrace, and her heart slowly became filled with warmth once more.

Although she was reluctant to part with Estella, her challenging job made it impossible for her to deal with other matters as she was preoccupied with her work every day.

On that fateful day, Roxanne followed her routine and left the research facility when it was time to pick up her kids from kindergarten.

When she was on her way, she received a call from Larry.

Roxanne picked up the call. “Hi Larry, what‘s up?”

Larry sounded a little troubled when he spoke on the other end of the line,

“Are you free to talk? I‘d like to ask for a favor.”

Roxanne could tell that something was off, so she agreed to help him without hesitation, “Ask away.”

Larry replied, “It‘s easier if we talk in person. I‘ll send you a location later. Let‘s meet there.”
