The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Estella thought it was Roxanne and the boys who had returned. Her eyes lit up, and she leaped off the bed, dashing over to open the door.

The second she saw the person at the door, the sparkle in her eyes faded.

“Essie.” The smile on Aubree‘s face looked forced.

Aubree was, after all, a woman. On top of that, she had to walk along the mountain path to reach the hotel. Most importantly, Lucian seemed to have no intentions of waiting for her. He had merely carried Estella in his arms and strode off.

After walking for some time, she was left behind, and she had lost sight of them.

Thankfully, there was only one hotel nearby, and that was how she had found them.

After asking the receptionist for their room number, she headed straight for the room.

Seeing who the visitor was, Lucian, too, was unhappy.

However, Aubree pretended as if she did not see the change in their expressions. With a smile on her face, she entered the room and glanced at Estella, saying, “Aren‘t you feeling unwell? Why aren‘t you resting in bed?”

When she finished her words, she gave Lucian a reproachful look. “Didn‘t I tell you already? I‘ll take care of Essie.”

Lucian knitted his brows. “Essie‘s just a little tired. If you have no other matters, you should go home as soon as possible.”

Aubree‘s expression froze, and she racked her brains in search of an excuse to stay back.

As she was thinking about it, she suddenly spotted the pink luggage at the bedside.

It did not look like it belonged to Lucian no matter how hard she stared at it.

“This is...” Aubree asked in puzzlement, eyeing the luggage suspiciously.

Upon hearing that, Aubree shot him a look of surprise. “You‘re sharing a room with a woman?”

I knew it! I can‘t let Lucian stay with Roxanne! They were already a wall apart when they were in Bellridge. And this time, they‘re staying together in a room! And Lucian doesn‘t seem to mind it at all!
