The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 3

Roxanne's heart lurched to her throat and remained there as she hurried out of the airport. She kept turning at her shoulder to confirm he didn't come after them.

Fortunately, his figure remained nowhere to be seen even after they exited the airport.

Roxanne could finally heave a sigh of relief.

The kids found it strange that she kept turning her head to glance behind them.

As Roxanne seemed anxious, they knew it wasn't the time to ask questions. Without a word, they allowed her to drag them out obediently.

“Roxanne! Archie! Benny!” A woman called from afar.

The three of them lifted their heads and saw a lady dressed in a suit, waving at them happily as she made their way to them.

Roxanne relaxed gradually at the sight of the woman. Flashing a smile, she said, “Madilyn, it's been so long!”

Madilyn Xander was her best friend back in university and was currently working as a doctor in her own family's hospital.

Shortly after, Madilyn came to a stop before them and flung her arms around Roxanne. “You're finally back home. I've missed you so much!” she said in a friendly manner.

Roxanne chuckled and replied, “I've missed you, too.”

They've been in touch over the years online but rarely got the chance to meet each other in real life.

After giving her a hug, Madilyn squatted down and pulled the boys into a hug. “My babies, do you miss me?”

Archie and Benny giggled adorably before answering in unison, “Of course we do! Aunt Madilyn, we even dreamed of you. You're still as pretty as ever!”

“How sweet of you!” Madilyn beamed happily after hearing their praise.

Roxanne's guard was still up. She glanced at the gate of the airport and said calmly, “Let's go. We can talk back home.”

Madilyn gave the boys a peck each on their cheeks before getting to her feet. After placing the luggage in her car truck, she ushered them into her car and sped away.

At the same time, Lucian appeared at the gate of the airport.

“Cancel my schedule overseas,” he told his assistant, Cayden Lawson.

Cayden gave a brief nod in acknowledgment. “Mr. Farwell, we've widened the search for Ms. Estella. She's young and can't go far. Don't worry.”

Ms. Estella is Mr. Farwell's darling daughter. It's more crucial to find her. His work overseas isn't as important in this situation.

Lucian's gaze turned dark as he strode toward the Maybach parked by the road.

Soon, the car drove away.

An hour later, Madilyn's car arrived in Durwest Garden. It was a residential area full of mansions.
