The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 895

Chapter 895 How Is She Doing

It wouldn’t be appropriate for Madilyn to poke her nose into Roxanne and Lucian’s relationship, so she ultimately turned around and drove off after a moment’s hesitation.

Roxanne watched until the car had gone far into the distance before she pivoted and rang the manor’s doorbell.

This is already the third time today. I wonder if I can get in this time.

In the mansion, Archie and Benny had Catalina stay in the room and play with them. As such, the latter didn’t hear the doorbell downstairs.

Conversely, it was exceedingly quiet in Lucian’s study, so he could distinctly hear the sounds from downstairs.

When the doorbell continued ringing even after a while had passed, he stepped out of the room for a look.

Catalina’s voice drifted out of Estella’s bedroom.

He didn’t bother interrupting them, going downstairs and switching on the video intercom instead.

“Cat…” Roxanne habitually greeted Catalina, but no sooner had the first syllable fallen than she made out the person on the screen. Her voice suddenly tapered off.

In the mansion, Lucian’s eyes darkened frightfully.

Sensing the change in his mood, Roxanne furtively clenched her fists and started, “I saw that Archie and Benny are here, so I came.”

A slight frown marred Lucian’s countenance. “Indeed, they’re here.”

While he was saying that, a hint of bemusement flashed across his eyes.

What trick is she up to now? She instructed Archie and Benny to come over, and now she wants to use that excuse to gain entry.

At his affirmative answer, Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief. “Sorry, they must have given you much trouble, huh? Can you please tell them I’m here to pick them up and will be waiting for them at the gates?”

Because she had been refused entry twice in the morning, she was very cautious when she spoke. In fact, she didn’t even request to be allowed into the house.

Again, Lucian’s eyes darkened. He didn’t bother saying anything but raised his hand and pressed a button on the screen.

A few seconds passed. Just when Roxanne was about to press him for a reply, the gates slowly opened.
