The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 823

Chapter 823 I Stand By My Words

Meanwhile, back at Roxanne’s house, Archie and Benny synchronously pulled out toys, laid out various snacks on the table, and sat on opposite sides of Estella.

Estella’s eyes were downcast, cheeks puffed out, and sadness was written all over her face. Archie and Benny exchanged a helpless look, but they promised Roxanne they would coax Estella.

They could only try their best to figure out a way. Archie handed her a tissue a moment later, speaking in a cajoling voice, “Don’t cry, Essie. If you like Mommy, try harder to help Mr. Farwell woo her!”

She glanced at him with a pout, her attention piqued. He dabbed at the tears pooling in the corner of her eyes and frowned worriedly. “We wanted Mommy and Mr. Farwell to get closer, but it seems like he’s upset with her again.”

Benny interjected, “Mommy is in the wrong here, but we can’t be a family if Mr. Farwell continues to be angry.”

Perturbation settled over her features, blanketing the sadness. It’s all my fault. Daddy and Ms. Jarvis wouldn’t have gotten into a fight if I hadn’t thrown a tantrum.

Estella lowered her head in guilt at that thought. “It’s my fault.”

Archie and Benny merely wanted to distract her, but they ended up making her feel awful, so they tried to shift the blame to the adults. “It’s not your fault, it’s all on Mommy and Mr. Farwell!”
