The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 834

Chapter 834 Easy To Please

The sky was about to turn dark when Roxanne left the research institute. On the way home, her chest tightened as she thought that Lucian was still lounging around at her place.

However, she returned to find only the three children sitting on the couch and staring at the computer screen. Roxanne scanned the living area, but the man was nowhere to be seen.

“Mommy!” the boys greeted her as soon as they realized she had come home. Roxanne caressed their tiny heads while asking, “Where’s Mr. Farwell?”

“He left a long time ago, but we asked him to let Essie stay so that we could wait for you to come back together,” Benny explained in his squeaky voice.

The woman smiled when she heard that. Then her gaze fell on the little girl standing behind the two boys.

Unlike her usual peppy demeanor, Essie now stood timidly behind Archie and Benny, not even saying hello.

Clearly, she was still bothered by what had happened earlier that day.

Realizing this, Roxanne knelt down and stared straight into the girl’s eyes. “I’m sorry, Essie. I didn’t mean what I said earlier this morning. I just wanted to say that—”

Having been consoled all day, Estella had already thought of forgiving her.

Even so, seeing the woman in person now made her slightly upset.

“But why did you leave, Ms. Jarvis?” the girl asked slowly while blinking.

She had already figured it out; Roxanne didn’t want to be her mother because she still couldn’t accept Lucian.

However, she didn’t understand why the woman had driven off despite knowing that she was upset.

Why didn’t she stay and talk to me instead? She was the first one to come looking for me the last time, but she just left me like that this morning.

The difference was too much for her to handle.
