The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 264

Lucian frowned in frustration as he found the shovel extremely unwieldy.

While struggling with it, he felt Roxanne's gentle gaze on him and looked up in response.

As their eyes met, Roxanne quickly retracted her gaze and put on a neutral expression.

Lucian frowned when he saw her response, but whatever frustration he had earlier seemed to have vanished completely. He then turned toward a staff and said, “Excuse me, I'm having some difficulty using this. Could you please show me how to use it?”

The staff had been observing him from the side for quite some time. He had wanted to tell Lucian that he was doing it wrong but held himself back when he saw how intimidating Lucian looked.

Seeing as Lucian had asked him for assistance, he quickly stepped forward to perform a quick demonstration.

Even Lucian chuckled in amusement when he saw the staff's technique and realized how funny he looked earlier.

Having learned the proper way to use a shovel, they were able to speed up the process of filling up the holes significantly.

The five of them then worked together to finish planting the saplings.

The three kids would chat with Roxanne from time to time while Lucian watched on quietly from the side.

“Are you guys a family?” the staff asked curiously when he saw them having a great time together.

Both Roxanne and Lucian froze when they heard that.

“Why do you ask?” Lucian asked before Roxanne could say anything.

Not only did he not deny that staff's statement, but he'd also give the staff the wrong idea with that question of his!
