At night, when Roxanne came back from the research institute, she was greeted by the sight of her three children pouting, especially Estella.
The little girl was scowling. “Mommy, you promised to take me to the design expo, but you didn't make time for me. Daddy was the one who brought me there in the end!”
“Essie, don't be mad. Mommy is really busy with her doctor and research institute work.”
“That's right, Essie. Why don't you let Mommy make it up to you next time?”
Both Archie and Benny tried to comfort Estella as they explained Roxanne's situation to her.
Roxanne felt guilty after listening to Estella. She crouched down to level with the little girl and apologized to her.
“It's my fault. I forgot about our promise, Essie. This is a serious mistake on my part, and I'm really sorry,” Roxanne said.
She reckoned that she had to set a good example for her children to follow by first apologizing when she made a mistake.
Estella was only throwing a minor tantrum and did not expect Roxanne to take her words so seriously. She shook her head and dashed into Roxanne's embrace.
“It's all right, Mommy. I forgive you, but could you let me know next time? I got up really early in the morning, changed my clothes, and went to your room to look for you, but you weren't there,” Estella mumbled indignantly.
Roxanne hurriedly nodded and kissed her little cheeks. “It's my fault. I will make sure to let you know next time. Okay, you may make two requests, and I promise I'll fulfill them this time.”
Estella told Roxanne that she needed time to think about it.

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....
