The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 317

“Speaking of which, it just so happened that Aubree and I have yet to have our lunch. Go and ask someone to order some food.” Sonya glanced at her son.

Lucian observed his mother's expression and realized she had something to say, something that she didn't want him listening to. Instead of pointing it out, he nodded and left the ward.

Once the door was closed, Sonya held Aubree's hand.

Aubree was a bit confused. “What's the meaning of this, Mrs. Farwell?”

She didn't understand why Sonya sent Lucian away first instead of just speaking her mind. Did... Did she realize all of this was just a trick?

When she thought about that, she panicked a little as her smile became more forced.

“Now that Lucian has left, I will speak directly to you about some matters.” Sonya's tone sounded much more casual.

Aubree nodded obediently. “Go ahead.”

“You can probably understand what I'm trying to do. It's not that it has to be Lucian who takes care of you. Even a nurse can do a better job than him. I asked him to take care of you because I want you two to use the opportunity to resolve any misunderstandings between you two. After all, both of you were in love for years, and he isn't a cold-hearted person.”

Upon hearing that, Aubree was stunned for a second before taking a deep breath and smiling. “I know. Thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Farwell. I'll use this opportunity to do so.”

Sonya nodded. “However... Lucian grew up in a life of luxury, so he may not know how to care for someone that well. Therefore, it may be difficult for you during this period.”

She didn't need Lucian to take very good care of her. I just need him to stop meeting that b*tch!

Sonya sighed. What a good girl. Why can't my son see this? Why does he only think about that Roxanne? Thankfully, I'm still around. I'll never let that woman step into the Farwell family!

It was as though a storm was brewing in Aubree's heart as she lowered her head. It seems like Sonya has made her decision about who's going to be her daughter-in-law. With Lucian trapped by my side, there's no way he'll have time to meet with that b*tch. If Charles and the others work harder, we'll be able to figure out the biological father of those bastard children. If that happens, Roxanne will be doomed!
