The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 509

Chapter 509

Playing the part of the king, Lucian welcomed Archie and Benny by saying, “Welcome to the party, you adorable elves!”

Although he had gotten his lines correct, his tone sounded so cold that it didn’t match the mood at all.

As a result, Archie and Benny found themselves unable to get into character.

Roxanne shot Lucian a helpless look and said, “This is a fairy tale meant for children, Mr. Farwell. You’ll scare the kids off like that.”

Unsure of what she meant, Lucian simply frowned at her in confusion. •

“You need to put more emotion into your lines. We just had a baby, so you should be more happy about it,” Roxanne explained.

Those words had barely left her mouth when she realized how wrong that sounded. “The king and queen are having a celebration for their princess, but you don’t sound like you’re celebrating at all!” she quickly explained with her face all red.

Lucian frowned and stared at her in silence.

“Try to recall how you felt when Essie was born,” Roxanne reminded him patiently.

The look in Lucian’s eyes turned slightly gloomy as he glanced at Estella.

Her condition was terrible when I got her, so I felt nothing but anger and heartache. There was no excitement whatsoever…

With that in mind, he stared at Roxanne and wondered how she felt when she gave birth to Estella back then.

Thinking he still didn’t understand what she meant, Roxanne tried to give him some more guidance. “How did you talk to your employees at Farwell Group during company parties?”
