Meanwhile, Roxanne had delegated Madilyn to pick the children up to Madilyn as she promptly headed to the meeting.
No sooner had she stepped out the door than she saw Jack’s car at the entrance.
At the sight of her, he alighted from the car and took a look behind her. Feeling slightly disappointed, he inquired, “Are the children still at school?”
Roxanne nodded. “I got a friend of mine to pick them up. Is there a reason why you want to see them, Mr. Damaris?”
Jack casually nodded. “I’ve brought them some gifts. But since they’re not around, let’s just forget it. I’ll personally hand them over the next time I see the boys.”
The fact that he had prepared presents for them surprised Roxanne, for she didn’t expect him to be so attentive.
“Since you have gotten them the presents, it’s only right you hand them to the boys yourself.” Roxanne pursed her lips into a smile upon regaining her senses.
With that, she turned around and headed toward her car.
She had barely taken a step when Jack’s voice rang out from behind her.
“I think you shouldn’t drive, as it’ll be hard to avoid drinking tonight. If you drive there, you’ll just end up having to collect your car tomorrow.”
His words caused Roxanne to stop as a conflicted expression emerged on her face.
She still remembered the tantrum Jessica had thrown when she got drunk because Jack was too close to her.
Therefore, if Jessica were to see her arrive in Jack’s car, the former would change her mind at the last minute even if her desire to apologize was sincere.
Cognizant of her concerns, Jack reassured her, “What happened the last time was my fault. That said, since there’s nothing going on between the two of us, you shouldn’t overthink the matter. If she repeats her accusations from the other day, I’ll clear the air.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Abandoned Wife (Lucian)
GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
Wish there was more to the story, like how the triplets end up and if the twins are as smart as their older siblings. Beautiful story 😊...
Very best book out there, full of surprises and true love. Recommend to all....
How did she leave a child behind with her husband that was same age as her two boys. This makes no sense....
