The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 657

Chapter 657

Roxanne was awakened by the sound of laughter downstairs early the following morning

Her mind was so chaotic last night that she fell asleep only after a long time. And now, her head pounded from the lack of sleep.

Roxanne glanced at the time. She wanted to get some more sleep, but there seemed to be no end to the laughter downstairs.

Given no choice, Roxanne had to crawl out of bed and walk out of her room with half-closed eyes.

When she looked down from upstairs, she spotted Madilyn playing with the two children in the living room.

Seeing that, Roxanne could not help but sigh helplessly.

This woman lives so near to our house, but we haven’t heard from her for the past few days. Yet, she’s here to disturb my sleep now.

“Mommy!” The boys looked up as soon as they heard Roxanne’s room door open.

Madilyn, too, followed their gaze. The moment she saw Roxanne’s terrible complexion, the smile on her face was replaced with a look of worry. “Did we wake you up?”

Roxanne nodded without beating around the bush. Massaging her pounding temples, she asked, “Why are you here today?”

Sensing Roxanne was feeling unwell, Madilyn stopped playing with the children. “What’s wrong? Are you unwell? Why do you look so terrible?”

Archie and Benny gazed at their mother with concern, looking extremely guilty for waking her

Roxanne sighed in exasperation when she met the trio’s worried gazes. “It’s nothing. I just didn’t sleep well last night. Then, I got woken up by you guys.”

Hearing that, Madilyn pulled the children to her side and said apologetically. “Go and get some sleep. I’ll take them out to play for a while.”

Roxanne shook her head. “I can’t fall back to sleep, anyway. Please carry on. I’ll be down in a while.”
