The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 708

Chapter 708 Looks A Little Guilty

Through the kitchen door, one could see into the living room. Estella looked up and saw Lucian frowning. There was also a rare look of frustration on his face.

She puffed out her cheeks and fumed inwardly, Needless to say, he must have regretted getting mad at Ms. Jarvis and me. Hmph! It serves him right for getting angry at us before getting his facts straight!

Even so, after grumbling about it silently, Estella still remembered that she wanted Roxanne to become her mother. Helping Daddy also means helping myself.

With that thought in mind, she decided to set aside her prejudice and lend Lucian a helping hand. She tugged at the hem of Roxanne’s shirt gingerly and said in an adorable voice, “Ms. Jarvis, let’s play a game together…”

Estella’s acting skills were top-notch. She wore an aggrieved expression as she spoke, appearing as though she had yet to recover from how upset she felt when Lucian had wanted to take her home.

Roxanne’s heart could not help softening at how pitiful Estella looked. After hesitating for several seconds, she finally raised her hand to pat the latter’s head and agreed to a game. “Okay.”

The three children looked at each other with joy in their eyes when they saw Roxanne acquiesce. After promising to play with them, Roxanne surveyed the ingredients she had prepped. It looks like everything is ready. All that’s left is to cook up the dishes later this evening.

She double-checked to make sure everything had been prepared, then stood up and followed the children out of the kitchen. As soon as she walked out, she saw Lucian, who was still standing in the living room.

He was standing next to the coffee table with slightly downcast eyes, staring in the direction of the couch.
