The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 326

Roxanne returned to her senses and protected her children behind her back. She gave Aubree a distant smile. “There's no need for you to worry, Ms. Pearson. It's just a minor illness.”

Then she glanced at Lucian. “It seems like you're busy with Mr. Farwell. I won't bother the both of you further.”

Without waiting for their replies, she grabbed her children and attempted to escape the couple's line of sight.

After she took two steps away, Lucian spoke. “Are Benny and Archie not feeling well?”

His gaze brushed past the children and saw Benny's pale face. He also noticed the boy was holding his abdomen with darkened eyes.

The pale-faced boy turned around and uttered in an angry tone, “It's just a stomachache! You should just take that lady to the doctor, Mr. Farwell. There's no need for you to pay attention to us!”

It was pretty obvious he was angry. The corridor was silent as his voice echoed in the stairwell.

Sensing the hostility from the child, Lucian furrowed his eyebrows. He wasn't sure what he was doing wrong that made them unhappy.

Even though they hadn't met for a while, the children were treating him with even greater antagonism.

Roxanne could tell her son's voice was getting louder, so she quickly moved him to her back and apologized to the passersby. Only then did she turn to Lucian and Aubree. “I'm sorry, Benny isn't feeling well, so he's in a bad mood right now. I hope you two will forgive him.”

The incident where Archie and Benny were expelled from kindergarten for no apparent reason still haunted her.

Her submissive attitude caused Lucian's expression to darken slightly. He furrowed his eyebrows silently. I can't believe this woman is asking me to forgive the children. Does she think I'm going to do bad things to them? Is the time we spent with each other not enough for her to know what kind of person I am?
