The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 512

Chapter 512

Meanwhile, class had ended at the kindergarten. With most of the students gone, only the three children were left waiting at the school field.

They were in a particularly good mood as they were looking forward to the rehearsal later

While Archie and Benny would chat occasionally, Estella sat obediently by the side with a smile on her adorable face.

“Why isn’t Ms. Lane here yet?” Benny began to grow curious when he noticed the sky turning dark.

Ms. Lane has always arrived early, so why is she late today?

Despite furrowing his brows, Archie reassured his brother, “Perhaps she’s occupied with something. Let’s just wait for a while longer.”

At that moment, Lucian strode through the kindergarten entrance and was greeted by the sight of the three children sitting in a row.

“Daddy!” Estella, the first to see him, waved at Lucian.

After hurrying up to her, Lucian knitted his brows while staring at the brothers.

Over the last few days, Lysa had been picking up the boys since Roxanne was avoiding Lucian. Thus, they were usually gone by the time he arrived.

What’s going on today?

“Where’s Ms. Lane?” Lucian asked in a gentle tone.

Propping their chins up with a hand, the boys were equally clueless. “We don’t know.”

“Archie says that Ms. Lane might be busy,” Benny explained in his squeaky voice.

Frowning, Lucian checked the time and suggested, “I’ll send you home.”

At that, Pippa’s first reaction was to say that it was fine. However, the look on Lucian’s face caused her to swallow her words in fear. Instead, she wore an awkward expression in front of the children

The brothers stared at their teacher before thinking about their mother. Identical conflicted expressions dominated their faces.

At that moment, Estella rubbed her stomach pitifully with a pout. “I’m hungry.”

Lucian raised his brows slightly. “We’ll have to wait for the brothers.”

Upon hearing his words, the boys finally got off the bench with their bags and trudged up to Lucian’s side.

After motioning for Estella to hold the brothers’ hands, Lucian took his leave from Pippa before leading them out of the kindergarten.

Once all of them got into the car, Lucian started the engine and drove toward Roxanne’s home.

Since the three children were sitting at the back, Estella would occasionally speak to the boys. Before long, all of them dropped their guard and began to play in the back.

The sound of the children arguing caused Lucian’s expression to soften slightly, and there was even a hint of amusement in his eyes.
