The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 254

Lucian had just sat down with Estella when he felt her twisting around in his arms. He frowned in puzzlement.

Meanwhile, Estella was staring fixedly at Roxanne.

Ms. Jarvis hasn't carried me in a long time. I want her to carry me too. Also, being held by Daddy isn't comfortable at all.

Roxanne had planned to ignore Lucian and Estella, but with the little girl staring so intently at her, she had no choice but to turn her head and glance over.

“Ms. Jarvis.” Estella reached out her arms toward Roxanne, wanting the latter to carry her.

Observing that Roxanne was already struggling with Archie, Lucian tightened his hold and trapped Estella in his arms. “Stop messing around, Essie.”

Feeling more and more uncomfortable, Estella began squirming around even more. “I want Ms. Jarvis to carry me!”

By then, a few people had noticed how Estella was making a fuss.

Not wanting to attract even more attention, Roxanne nodded at Lucian. “Give her to me. I'll carry her.”

Then, she extended an arm toward Estella.

The little girl leaned into her embrace almost immediately.

After taking Estella, Roxanne now had to carry two children on her lap. Hence, her seat was getting a little cramped.

Furrowing his brows, Lucian said softly, “Let me take Archie.”

Roxanne was taken aback upon hearing that.

Thinking of Archie's relationship with Lucian, she felt conflicted.

Moreover, she had noted how her son resented Lucian and didn't think Archie would agree, especially since Archie was usually cold and indifferent.

But to her surprise, the boy in her arms actually stretched his arms toward Lucian.

Roxanne's and Lucian's expressions shifted as soon as they saw Archie's response.
