The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 658

Chapter 658
Roxanne chuckled when she heard Madilyn grumbling.
Pulling the children into her embrace, Madilyn said with a sigh, “It’s been such a busy month, but I’m already feeling much better after seeing these two kiddos.”
With that, she forcefully planted kisses on the boys’ cheeks, only to be shoved away by them in disdain.
“Let’s go out and play tomorrow! We haven’t spent much time together ever since you guys returned. It’s my day off tomorrow. I can take all of you out for the entire day,” Madilyn suggested, looking expectant.
The boys’ eyes lit up at the idea of going out to play. They instantly turned to Roxanne to hear her response.
Roxanne felt conflicted when she was met by the trio’s expectant gazes. “I’m afraid tomorrow is a no-no.”
The moment those words left her mouth, the trio’s faces fell simultaneously.
Madilyn stared at Roxanne with an exaggerated expression. “Don’t tell me you’re working tomorrow.”
Roxanne shook her head. “No,” was all she replied, leaving Madilyn even more confused.
“Then, what? Spit it out. There’s nothing we can’t tell one another.”
There was a slight change in Roxanne’s countenance, and she cast the boys a troubled glance.
The boys looked just as inquisitive as Madilyn.
Seeing that, Roxanne shook her head in exasperation.
The concert was tomorrow, and she had yet to inform the boys about it.
Their expressions told her they would not let her off easily if she did not come up with a valid. reason.
However, Roxanne feared her best friend would get the wrong idea if she told them she was going to a concert with Lucian.
Just as Roxanne was wondering if she should tell them the truth, the children guessed, “Mommy, are we going to the concert tomorrow?”
Roxanne froze, and she subconsciously turned to check Madilyn’s expression.
Madilyn was puzzled. “A concert? Since when were you interested in events like that? Spill. Are you hiding something from me?”
Roxanne stuttered, “N-No… I-It’s just-”
The boys cut her off while looking at Madilyn seriously, “Aunt Madilyn, we’re going to a concert with Mr. Farwell and Essie tomorrow. So, we can’t go with you. We’ll hang out with you next week, okay?”
Roxanne could not help but sigh at the boys’ betrayal, averting her gaze guiltily.
“Mr. Farwell?” Madilyn’s look of confusion was gradually replaced with shock. “You mean Lucian Farwell?”
Roxanne pursed her lips without saying a word.
Right then. Madilyn’s confused expression returned. “Lucian invited you to a concert? Is he… changing his ways?”
She was well aware of the drama between Roxanne and Lucian that had been going on for six years until now.
Madilyn still could not bring herself to forgive Lucian for treating Roxanne so coldly six years ago.
At first, Madilyn thought Roxanne and Lucian would not be in touch when Roxanne returned. To her surprise, the drama still carried on.
On top of that, she realized Lucian had been the one taking the initiative to contact Roxanne.
At that thought, Madilyn could not help but ask, “What exactly is going on between you two?”
Roxanne’s heart trembled, and she looked troubled. “I don’t know what’s on his mind, either.”
Madilyn was heartbroken when she saw Roxanne’s expression.
