The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497

Sleeping Beauty, with Ms. Jarvis.

Lucian replied and tagged Roxanne in his reply. His reply caused quite a stir within the group, given that he was usually a group chat ghost.

Roxanne was about to move on when she saw the tag notification. Surprised, she went back into the group chat and read Lucian’s reply.

There was a long period of silence after Lucian’s reply, and the active exchange in that group suddenly died down. Roxanne had no idea if the other parents were too stunned by Lucian’s involvement or if they were waiting for her reply.

She stared at Lucian’s message for a long time, frowning slightly as she speculated on Lucian’s intention. Troubled and confused, she finally decided not to pay attention to that group chat and went offline.

Archie and Benny were quietly sitting next to Roxanne, observing her. They became anxious when they detected her mood change, worried that she would decide to withdraw from the play.

“We’re sleepy, Mommy. Can we go back to our room?” The boys pretended to yawn while they secretly watched for Roxanne’s reaction.

Roxanne’s mind stopped wandering, and her attention was successfully directed back to the boys. She rubbed their heads lovingly and said, “Sure. Let’s have an early night. Mommy will send you to school tomorrow.”

The boys’ eyes lit up upon hearing that, and they excitedly nodded their heads.

Roxanne put on a forced smile, brought the kids to their room, and tucked them in.

After she left and the boys heard her closing the door to her room, they cautiously opened their eyes and sat up in their beds.

“Archie, do you know the story about Sleeping Beauty?” Benny stared at Archie in the dark and asked, curious.
