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.”
A look of exasperation flashed in Roxanne’s eyes when she thought of the reason that kept her awake. She shook her head as if nothing was wrong. “It’s nothing. I drank some alcohol during my social gathering last night. That’s why I didn’t sleep well.”
Hearing that, Madilyn shot the boys a suspicious glance.
The boys nodded, though they were not really sure.
Only then did Madilyn believe Roxanne’s words. Frowning, the former advised, “Don’t be so hard on yourself. You might not be worried about your health, but these kids are.”
With that, she gazed downward at the two kids, who immediately nodded to play along.
Roxanne could not help but smile at their act. “All right. Besides, I’m not the only one who’s guilty. You’re the same, too. You’ve been swamped with work lately, haven’t you?”
Madilyn rolled her eyes. “Ugh. I had no choice.”
For some reason, the hospital had been severely understaffed for the past few days. Madilyn had no choice but to do whatever she could to help, which threw her into a spiral of hecticness for the past month. Now that she finally had more free time that week, she decided to pay Archie and Benny a visit.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Abandoned Wife (Lucian)
GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
Wish there was more to the story, like how the triplets end up and if the twins are as smart as their older siblings. Beautiful story 😊...
Very best book out there, full of surprises and true love. Recommend to all....
How did she leave a child behind with her husband that was same age as her two boys. This makes no sense....
