The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 2001

Chapter 2001 Not Worth It

Despite Lucian's explanation, Madilyn still felt indignant about it.

The seed of love that was planted during their school days bore a bitter fruit after their much-anticipated marriage.

“Mr. Farwell, you were being too presumptuous!” Madilyn concluded while shooting Lucian a vicious look.

The embarrassment that was written on Lucian's face elicited a faint smile from Roxanne.

That's all in the past now.

Unlike in the past, Roxanne felt differently now. She counted her blessings, for her wishes had come true one by one, albeit in a delayed manner.

Stroking the tiny bump on her belly, she could feel a new future brewing inside.

The adversity the three children had gone through for the past few years would never happen again.

As if reflecting on himself, Lucian nodded as he admitted, “It's true that I, too, was at fault. I was mentally exhausted due to being embroiled in the struggles of the business world back then. I ended up letting my thoughts be dictated by societal convention.”

Lucian's admission of his mistakes finally eased Madilyn's fury.

When Jonathan gave Madilyn a slight tug, their discreet gesture didn't escape Jonathan's notice.

He then threw his wife a questioning glance.

Roxanne responded with an affirmative look. She hadn't gotten the opportunity to tell Lucian that Jonathan had confessed his feelings the night before.

Nonetheless, Lucian curled his lips into a smile, for he immediately knew what was going on.

“Jonathan, since it's almost noon, why don't you stay back for lunch?” Lucian suggested.

Just as Jonathan was about to nod habitually, a look from Madilyn prompted him to turn down the invitation. “Not this time, Lucian. I promised Madilyn that we would take Mdm. Xander out for lunch.”

“Sure, no problem.”

Jonathan has finally learned how to say no after getting a girlfriend. It was a development that Lucian was glad to see.

After the newly minted couple departed, Roxanne related Jonathan's exploits from the night before to Lucian, to which the latter exclaimed, “I'm surprised that Jonathan was capable of pulling off something as interesting as that. I think he has outdone me when it comes to romance!”

As Roxanne looked at her husband from the corner of her eye, images of his face during their teenage years emerged in her mind.
