The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 629

Chapter 629

At that moment, Lucian approached the group and looked at them quietly. When Archie and Benny saw his arrival, they shared a look and greeted him after some hesitation. “Good morning, Mr. Farwell.”

Lucian cocked his brows and reached out to pat the boys’ heads. Roxanne had wanted to ignore Lucian’s presence. But hearing Archie and Benny greet him, she figured it would be an unsightly behavior to continue to pretend not to see him when Pippa was around.

With that in mind, Roxanne looked at the man and uttered placidly, “Mr. Farwell.”

Lucian turned his head and made eye contact with her. “What a surprise to see you sending Archie and Benny today when you’ve just recovered, Ms. Jarvis.”

I thought she’d hide from me again after the incident yesterday. That’s why I got Essie to hand the tickets to Archie and Benny and, in turn, help pass them to her afterward. What a surprise to meet her again that soon, huh?

An odd look crept up Roxanne’s face when she sensed the underlying meaning in the man’s words. Nevertheless, she tried to stay composed and forced a smile on her face.

“Ms. Jarvis!” Estella suddenly tugged at her shirt sleeve. Perplexed, Roxanne lowered her head to: look at the young girl.

“Ms. Jarvis, let’s go to a concert together!” Estella invited warmly with an innocent look.

She had entirely thrown the matter to the back of her head, as she was too thrilled to see Roxanne sending Archie and Benny to school just now.

It was only after seeing Lucian did she remember her task at hand.

Initially, she was supposed to pass the tickets to Archie and Benny according to Lucian’s plan.

However, she was eager to find out about Roxanne’s answer since the latter was right before her.

In contrast to the excited young girl, Roxanne was briefly astounded when she heard those words. Instinctively, she shot a glance at the man before her.

A concert? That can’t possibly be Essie’s suggestion. I’m sure she must be acting under Lucian’s order. Throughout the conversation, Lucian had never shifted his eyes away from Roxanne.
