The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 330

“Is your stomach aching badly? Do you want me to carry you?”

Roxanne, who had come to the staircase, knelt down in concern and looked into Benny's eyes.

Benny cracked a mischievous yet gleeful smile. “It stopped hurting a long while ago, but I could sense that you felt like leaving early.”

From the moment Mommy saw Daddy and the wicked woman at the elevator just now, there was a drastic change in her mood.

Furthermore, when they were blocked in the corridor by Lucian, he could clearly feel the hostility Roxanne exuded.

Coincidentally, both he and Archie resented the sight of Lucian, hence the excuse to get Roxanne to leave.

Upon hearing Benny's words, the relieved yet amused Roxanne gave his nose a playful scratch. “Next time, don't scare me by telling me that you have a stomach ache while being sick. Instead, you should just say that you're tired.”

Roxanne was given a fright by Benny earlier. If not for the urge to avoid further interaction with Lucian, she would have brought Benny back inside the room for further examination.

Fortunately, Benny was all right.

Just when the trio of mother and sons were enjoying a tender moment, a flurry of footsteps rang out in the stairwell.

As the sound gradually bore down on them, they could guess from the lightness of the steps that it was a woman.

Assuming that it was just someone passing through, Roxanne moved aside together with her boys.

Unexpectedly, they were greeted by the sight of Aubree emerging from the corner the moment they stood up.

The instant their eyes met, Roxanne's expression darkened on impulse.

A single glance was enough to tell her that Aubree came with ill intentions.

Is it because Lucian left her abruptly to see Benny?
