The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1880

Chapter 1880 That Is The Plan

As both of them continued to chat, Roxanne gave Madilyn some encouragement upon sensing her lack of confidence.

Nevertheless, Madilyn responded with a wry smile before changing the topic to Roxanne's wedding.

In reality, Madilyn wasn't afraid of Coralie's family background but was instead wary of the latter's vibrant demeanor and the confidence she exuded that stemmed from her prominent identity.

Madilyn, comparatively, had to face life's cruel realities since young as an illegitimate child whose mother was abandoned by her father.

Furthermore, she could sense that Coralie's vigor was exactly what Jonathan needed to cure his depression.

Perhaps she's a lot more suited to him. That thought flashed through her mind unbidden.

Not wanting Roxanne to worry, Madilyn kept such thoughts to herself and focused on discussing the wedding preparations. She even told Roxanne that she would meticulously choose a wonderful gift for the latter.

When Roxanne asked her what it would be, she replied that she had yet to make a decision, eliciting an eye roll from the former.

It wasn't until darkness began to fall that both of them went their separate ways.

Upon returning to the mansion, Roxanne was greeted by the sight of everyone busying themselves in the living room.

As the star of the wedding, Roxanne felt embarrassed for not having to do much.

“Mommy, you had a long day. Here, have a glass of water!” The adorable and attentive Estella was always the first to welcome her mother home.

Archie and Benny were just as enthusiastic as they grabbed one of Roxanne's hands each, showering her with attention.

“What's going on? What do you want from me this time? Spit it out.”

However, Lucian shook his head with a thoughtful expression as his eyes suddenly veered toward Roxanne's belly.

“There's only one thing you can do now. The children are waiting for another brother and sister, while my parents want to experience raising a grandchild again. Essie was, after all, difficult to manage due to her illness. Plus, she resented them. Therefore...”

Realization quickly dawned upon Roxanne.

All of them are pampering me because they want me to give birth.

Nonetheless, she shared their sentiments.

It was just as her husband had said. Everyone in the family had their own regrets.

Their previous marriage of three years and the six years they spent raising the children were all unhappy times.
