The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 518

Chapter 518

“Daddy!”

At the sight of her father, Estella ran up to Lucian’s side and pointed to the untouched food on the table. “You’re finally here. All of us are famished!”

As Lucian followed the trajectory of Estella’s gaze, he saw Archie and Benny at the dining table, looking at him while supporting their heads with one hand. Their eyes still reflected the resentment they felt for him.

As for the five sets of dinnerware on the table, they remained untouched.

Evidently, everyone was waiting for him to have dinner together.

Realizing that fact, Lucian felt a complex range of emotions as he glanced at Roxanne, who had just come up to his side.

When their eyes met, she briefly froze before explaining by reflex, “Estella wanted to wait for you.”

Raising his brows slightly, Lucian looked down at his daughter, who nodded with a gleeful grin as if she was taking credit for it.

In response, Lucian stroked her head and apologized to Roxanne and the boys, “I’m sorry for holding you up. I didn’t realize you were waiting for me to have dinner.”

Roxanne pursed her lips. “It’s no big deal. Now that you’re here, let’s dig in and then continue with our rehearsal.”

After giving her a nod, Lucian washed his hands before taking a seat at the table opposite her.

When dinner was over, everyone began rehearsing.

After practicing a few times, Roxanne had come to accept Lucian’s lack of talent in acting. Therefore, she simply went along with the flow.

As for the three children, their acting skills were better than she had expected. Initially, she was worried that they wouldn’t even be fluent with their lines. However, they impressed her not just with their eloquence but also with their convincing expressions,

Once rehearsal was over, the confused Estella tilted her head as she stared at the two adults.
