The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 791

Chapter 791 A Secret To Tell You

Archie and Benny dashed to their room after they headed upstairs. “Archie, Mommy’s meeting Mr. Damaris tomorrow. Should we tell Daddy about it?” asked Benny with slight hesitation.

Upon deliberation, Archie said, “We have to tell him.” They had kept it a secret earlier because they wanted Lucian to feel stressed about Roxanne’s relationship with Jack.

However, Roxanne’s attitude earlier made them feel terrified. What if Mommy really chose Mr. Damaris?

At that thought, the children no longer dared to hide it from Lucian. Benny asked gloomily, “But how should we tell Daddy about it?”

They could not contact Lucian as they did not have a phone. Roxanne would be leaving tomorrow night and they did not know if Lucian would visit that day.

Archie and Benny looked troubled as they thought hard about this tough question. After a while, Archie whispered something next to Benny’s ear with a frown, and the latter responded with a firm nod.

Then they washed up quickly and lay on the bed although it was still early. Before going to bed, Roxanne checked on the children and saw that they were sleeping soundly. Looks like they really did not have a good rest last night. Her suspicions gradually faded.

Little did she know that Archie and Benny were merely pretending to sleep. With their eyes still closed, they listened to the movements outside the door quietly.

Only when they could barely hear Roxanne’s footstep did they sneak out of bed. While listening intently for any sounds outside, they stared at the clock.

They waited until it was just before midnight when Roxanne would have probably fallen asleep before tiptoeing out of their room and down the stairs.

After walking to the corded landline telephone, they cast a careful glance at Roxanne’s room.

When they saw that the lights in her room were turned off, they put their guard down and dialed Lucian’s number.

Although they did not have phones of their own, they had already memorized Lucian’s number, thanks to their exceptional memory.
