The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 952

Chapter 952 We Looked Like A Family

After hearing Lucian’s explanation, Estella finally understood the situation and responded with an obedient nod.
“Did you have fun today?” Lucian stopped asking about her sickness and began talking about the camping trip in an attempt to divert her attention.
As expected, the mention of the camping trip diverted Estella’s attention instantly. “I had tons of fun!”

Then, she curled up her fingers one by one, counting the events that happened that day, as if she was worried that her father wouldn’t believe her simple remark. “Ms. Jarvis gifted me a lovely flower wreath, and we had a delicious barbecue. Also, Benny and Archie gifted me some beautiful pebbles!”

It seemed like Estella had encountered endless joyful events that day. After recalling all the happy occasions she had experienced that day, her stomachache didn’t seem to be so serious anymore.

Lucian’s expression softened as he listened to Estella recount her experiences throughout the day.

Roxanne did a body check-up on the children again.

She had done some research on this bacterium before. Therefore, the traditional medicine she made was the right treatment for the sickness, and the effect of the medicine was immediate.

After checking the children over and confirming that they had been cured, Roxanne finally felt a sense of relief. She turned around and looked at the man next to her. “It’s late. Let’s go back now.”

Lucian nodded casually. Just when he was about to get up, Archie spoke sweetly while staring at the adults with anticipation. “Mommy, can we not go home so soon? We haven’t stayed overnight in the tent yet!”

With that, he tugged on the corner of Roxanne’s clothing with one hand and pointed at the night sky with another. “Look! The sky is so beautiful tonight!”

Upon facing her son’s hopeful gaze, Roxanne hesitated for a split second before becoming adamant again. “No, we can’t stay here. Benny and Essie just recovered from their illness, so they must go home and rest. I’ll bring you here again next time.”

Roxanne didn’t want to stay, not only because the children had just recovered from their sickness but also because she didn’t want to face Lucian for an entire night.
