The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 726

Chapter 726 I Cannot Forgive You

The next morning, while Roxanne was having breakfast with the children before sending them to school, the doorbell suddenly rang.

The ring caused Roxanne and the boys to exchange glances as the same thought popped into their minds—Lucian and Estella were there.

After all, both of them usually dropped by at that hour. Without a second thought, Roxanne got up and opened the door. She was subsequently greeted by the sight of her best friend looking all anxious.

“Did something happen?” A sinking feeling crept into her heart. The frowning Madilyn stretched her head to look at the children—who were busy eating—before pulling Roxanne out the door.

Cognizant that it was something the children weren’t supposed to know, Roxanne followed the former to the yard. “What’s wrong?”

“Did you see the news in the morning?” Madilyn sounded exceptionally grim. Hearing that, Roxanne shook her head in response as she was clueless.

As Lysa was held back by something at home and couldn’t come to work for the week, she had woken up early in the morning to prepare breakfast and watch the children eat.

Consequently, she didn’t have time to read the morning news at all. Nevertheless, Roxanne could tell from Madilyn’s expression that something grave had happened.

Knitting her brows, Madilyn didn’t even know how to break the news. “What on earth happened?” Madilyn’s reaction told Roxanne that it was something related to her. She repeated with a frown, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll go in and read it myself.”

Just when she turned around to go back in, Madilyn grabbed her hand to stop her.

“News of you going on a date late at night with Jack has splashed across the headlines. They accuse both of you of being close and suspect that strings were pulled for you to be included as one of the Damaris family’s partners.”
