The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 543

Chapter 543

Roxanne turned to look at him with an awful expression on her face.

“I had my eyes on them just now. Benny was still there before I engaged the vendor,” Lucian said.

That might suggest that Benny could not have gone very far.

“I’ll go take a look around,” a frowning Roxanne said in distress.

“I’ll come too!” Archie quickly chimed in.

Feeling responsible for losing sight of his own brother, he thus felt obliged to help locate him.

Seeing that Archie and Roxanne were so agitated, Estella promptly said, “I want to come along too!”

Without time to overthink it, Roxanne intended to lead the children out on a search.

They had only taken two steps when Lucian stopped them. “Take the kids and wait outside. I’ll look around here.”

Roxanne wanted to reject that proposal.

“Benny has already gone missing, and it’s crowded here. Surely you don’t want Archie and Essie to get lost as well, do you?” Lucian regarded her in earnest.

Hearing that made Roxanne hesitate.

With his deep voice, Lucian offered some words of consolation, “It’s quite costly to holiday at this resort, so you can be sure that no one here will harbor designs on your boy. We need only to worry about whether Benny will be able to take care of himself.”

Roxanne lowered her gaze in a bid to calm herself before she gave Lucian an affirmative nod. “Please help me find him.”

Lucian acknowledged her before turning around to wade into the crowd, whereas Roxanne squeezed her way out with the children in tow.

“Does Benny have his watch on, Mommy?” reminded Archie when they arrived somewhere with fewer people around.

Roxanne lowered her eyes to regard the boy who pointed at the watch around his own wrist.
