The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223

In Horington, Lucian sent Estella to kindergarten earlier than usual the next morning after the unpleasant conversation with Roxanne the previous day.

When he arrived at the kindergarten, there were only a few parents around the area.

However, Roxanne was nowhere to be found.

Estella obviously wanted to see her. She held on tightly to Lucian‘s hand, refusing to go into the kindergarten.

Lucian frowned at her stubbornness. Even so, he could only stand outside the kindergarten together with her.

It was after a long time that Archie and Benny showed up. This time, however, Roxanne was not the one who came with them.

When Lucian noticed that, his eyebrows furrowed even more as he walked up to Lysa while holding Estella‘s hand. “Where‘s Ms. Jarvis? Doesn‘t she usually drop Archie and Benny off at school?”

Ever since they parted ways at the hospital, Lysa had never met Lucian again. She did not know that Roxanne and Lucian had got into an argument.

Therefore, with the thought of them still having a good relationship with each other, Lysa smiled and answered, “Ms. Jarvis has work today, so I came to drop them off.”

Lucian‘s gaze darkened as he heard that.

What a coincidence. We just met yesterday, and she has work today.Is she trying to avoid me?

As Estella did not get to see Roxanne, she was a little dejected. She tugged on Lucian‘s finger as she looked at him in worry.

Lucian patted her on the head before looking back at Lysa. “Where did she go? When is she coming back?”

“I think she went to Bellridge. About her return… I‘m not sure when she will come back. But I don‘t think she will be away for long.”

Bellridge?

“Why did she go there?” Lucian asked in confusion.

Archie and Benny, who were still holding onto Lysa, felt angry at how Lucian was interrogating them about their mother. He was about to marry someone else anyway.

Or did Roxanne say something to them?
