The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 953

Chapter 953 Should Not Have Asked

Archie, Benny, and Estella stared at Lucian’s retreating back before exchanging a look. All three of them felt exceedingly reluctant to see him leave.
We plotted and schemed to have them agree to stay the night here so that an opportunity for them to spend time together could be created. But if Daddy were to leave for real now, our efforts would’ve been in vain! Besides, he’s tall, and the car is cramped, so it’d be an utter torment for him to sleep in the car!
Their brains whirred at warp speed as they tried to come up with an idea that would have Lucian change his mind.

At the same time, Roxanne’s eyes flickered as she watched the man’s figure fade into the distance.

“Let’s just squeeze a little and make do with the space.”

Ultimately, she couldn’t help saying that when he had almost disappeared from her line of sight.

The instant her words rang out, Lucian halted in his tracks and glanced back over his shoulder.

Roxanne dipped her eyes. “You can’t stretch your limbs out in the car, so you’ll definitely end up horribly sore after spending a night there. There’s room in the tent anyway, and it’s far more comfortable than the car. If you don’t mind, Mr. Farwell, we can just make do for a night.”

Although she didn’t want to face him, she knew he would undoubtedly suffer if he were to sleep in the car, considering his height.

On top of that, she was at fault for the situation then. He merely came over to help, and it made no sense for her to deprive him of having a good night’s sleep.

Never had it crossed the children’s mind that she would take the initiative and ask him to stay. They were stunned for a few seconds before they hastily seconded Roxanne.

“I want to sleep with you, Daddy!” Estella whined, stretching her arms out at Lucian.

Likewise, Archie and Benny urged in juvenile voices, “Sleep with us, Mr. Farwell! We’re a bit scared.”

Lucian’s gaze swept over the few of them, only to stop on Roxanne’s face in the end.

In all honesty, he hadn’t expected her to propose that he stay either.

When Roxanne sensed his gaze, her eyelashes quivered. She raised her eyes and flashed him an airy smile to convey her sincerity.

Seeing that she hadn’t made that offer out of courtesy, Lucian frowned slightly. He spun around and walked into the tent, plopping down on the other side of the children.
