The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 249

After dinner, Roxanne and Colby went separate ways, returning to their own homes.

When Roxanne arrived home, Lysa had fetched the two kids back. They were playing with Legos on the carpet.

Archive and Benny immediately surrounded Roxanne when they saw her enter.

Roxanne patted their heads and asked concernedly, “Have you two taken your meals?”

They nodded obediently and blinked their eyes at her. “Mommy, Ms. Ward said she's bringing us to plant trees this weekend.”

Roxanne was slightly taken aback at the mention of that matter. She gazed downward and beamed at her children. “Yes. I know that.”

With that, she pretended to be nonchalant and entered the living room.

Archie and Benny trailed behind their mother and followed her to the side of the carpet.

She crouched down and fiddled with the partially-built Lego pieces as a conflicted look spread across her face.

She pondered the whole journey on her way back. In the end, she was left with the same conclusion. She might run into Lucian or Aubree if she participated in the activity.

That was such a coincidence.

All the while, she had been racking her brains, thinking of ways to avoid Lucian and Aubree. Yet, the kindergarten decided to host an activity at that time.

“Mommy, will you go with us?” The two kids gazed at Roxanne in anticipation.

That was their first time joining such a group activity. The idea sounded very interesting to Archie and Benny.

Catching sight of their hopeful, gleaming eyes, Roxanne hesitated and could not bring herself to refuse them directly. She merely said, “I'll ask Aunt Madilyn to accompany you two. Will that be all right?”

That was the only way she could think of.

Hearing their mother's words, Archie and Benny were obviously a little disappointed. “Do you not want to go with us, Mommy?”

Roxanne's heart softened slightly. “No, it's not that. It's just... I have to work overtime during the weekend. I'm afraid I do not have the time to accompany you two.”
