The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 707

Chapter 707 Let Us Play A Game

Archie held out the flower again hesitantly. “There are plenty of lilies in Mommy’s bouquet. That’s why I dared to take one of them.” Lucian’s brows furrowed as he finally understood what Archie meant.

Someone obviously sent those flowers that Roxanne brought back as a thank-you gift. I was the one who misunderstood the whole thing. No wonder she flew into such a rage!

Lucian’s expression relaxed drastically after he realized the truth of the situation. He swept his gaze over to Roxanne, who was busy in the kitchen, then turned back and took the lily Archie was holding. “I’m sorry. I jumped to conclusions. Essie and I will stay for dinner.”

With that, he set Estella down. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Estella shot her father a glare before running off toward the kitchen to look for Roxanne.

In the living room, Lucian held the lily taken from Roxanne’s bouquet of flowers with a frown. He and the boys stared at each other for some time.

Archie and Benny could see Lucian’s frustration, and they snuck glances at each other with troubled looks in their eyes. Daddy and Mommy often argue, but it’s clear that Mommy is very angry this time. What can we do to help them make up?

Over in the kitchen, Estella clung to Roxanne’s leg. Roxanne, still fuming with anger, was perplexed when she saw Estella running into the kitchen, looking aggrieved. “What’s the matter, Essie? Did the brothers bully you?”

As she spoke, she cast a glance toward the door. That doesn’t make sense. The boys have always been fond of Essie, so why would they bully her? Apart from the boys, the only other possible culprit is Lucian.
