The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 975

Chapter 975 Breaking My Heart

After lunch, Archie and Benny made up an excuse by saying they wanted to nap before running back to their room. Roxanne was feeling drained as well, so she tidied up the dining room before taking a nap herself.

In the boys’ room upstairs, Archie and Benny, who were supposed to be asleep, sat facing each other on the edge of their respective beds. At that moment, sadness was written all over their faces.

“I feel so sad, Archie.” Benny pursed his lips, and tears were welling up in his eyes. Benny had always been more sensitive. Not only did Sonya scold him, but she also brought Estella away.

Archie raised his gaze toward Benny. When Archie saw Benny’s red eyes, he immediately got up and sat next to him. “You can feel sad, but you can’t cry,” Archie said.

Hearing that, Benny pouted and replied, “But why did Grandma have to talk to us that way?” Benny thought he was just being polite when he addressed Sonya as Grandma.

When he recalled how Sonya had scolded him moments ago, he couldn’t help but want to burst into tears.

Archie knew exactly how Benny felt. “Grandma treated us that way because she doesn’t know about our background. Besides, she hasn’t even accepted Mommy yet. I wonder what happened when Daddy and Mommy separated back then. It seems that Grandma doesn’t like Mommy one bit.”

Benny agreed with Archie’s analysis, and he nodded. What Grandma said to Mommy was worse than what Grandma said to us. With that in mind, Benny couldn’t help but worry about Roxanne’s feelings. Mommy must be feeling worse than we do.

“If we want Grandma to treat Mommy better, we must get Daddy and Mommy back together,” Archie uttered in a serious tone. “Only then can they resolve the misunderstandings between them, and Grandma will finally know about our background.”

Benny looked excited when he exclaimed, “By then, Grandma won’t have a problem with Essie addressing us as her brothers!”

Archie nodded upon hearing that. There was also a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
