The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 677

Chapter 677

“Mr. Damaris and I…” Roxanne began to explain, but noises suddenly came from behind them. It sounded like the children had woken up.

Thus, Roxanne cut herself off and turned around to look at them.

Benny, who had woken up at one point, was rubbing his eyes groggily.

After a while, the boy slowly lowered his hand and squinted at his mother. “Mommy…”

Roxanne gave a quick glance at the man beside her as she tamped down the rising feelings in her heart. Once she recomposed herself, she flashed the boy a smile,

“Are we home?” Benny sat up and sprawled at the window to look outside. When he saw the familiar mansion, he asked his mother in a confused tone, “Why didn’t you wake us?”

Roxanne was reminded of her earlier conversation with Lucian, and guilt settled in her stomach. “We just got here I was about to wake you, but you woke up on your own.”

The boy was not entirely sober yet, so he did not dwell much on Roxanne’s reply. He turned to carefully nudge his brother and woke him up.

The noise woke Estella as well, who looked around in a daze, unable to figure out where she was for a moment.

The awakening of the children signaled the temporary end of Roxanne and Lucian’s conversation.

Roxanne then turned back to Lucian and said, “Thank you for sending us back, Mr. Farwell. It’s getting late, so I won’t invite you in for a drink anymore.”

With that, she opened the door and stepped out of the car before carrying the children out from the back seats.

The night breeze was chilly. Although the heater was on in the car, Roxanne’s clothes were still wet. Hence, she could not stop the shudder from going through her body when the wind blew at her.
