The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 696

Chapter 696 You Still Remember Me

When Roxanne checked her phone and saw that it was noon, she realized she had forgotten to discuss lunch with Archie and Benny when she left earlier.

“Excuse me, I need to make a phone call,” Roxanne said apologetically as she stood up.

Jack wasn’t sure what she was up to, but he didn’t bother to ask her about it. He simply nodded in response and watched as she made her way to a quiet corner of the restaurant.

Archie and Benny were watching TV with Estella at home when they heard the phone ringing.

Knowing that their mother was the only one who would call that landline, they immediately rushed over to answer the phone.

“When are you coming back, Mommy? Essie came over to play! We’re keeping her company right now!” Benny asked while glancing at Estella.

He then passed the phone over to Estella and motioned at her to say something.

“Hi, Ms. Jarvis!” Estella called out with a wide grin on her face.

Roxanne’s heart melted when she heard Estella’s adorable voice. “Hi, Essie! What brings you here today?”

“You were drenched in the rain yesterday. I was worried that you might get sick, so I came over to check on you!” Estella replied.

“I’m sorry, Essie, but I probably won’t be back for a while. I’ll have someone else bring you some food, okay?” Roxanne said apologetically.

“Okay!” Estella answered with a nod.

Roxanne then told Archie and Benny to take good care of Estella before hanging up the phone. After that, she prayed that Madilyn wouldn’t be too busy as she dialed her number.

“What’s up, Roxanne?” Madilyn answered the phone rather quickly.
