The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 518 "Daddy!"

At the sight of her father, Estella ran up to Lucian's side and pointed to the untouched food on the table. "You're finally here. All of us are famished!"

As Lucian followed the trajectory of Estella's gaze, he saw Archie and Benny at the dining table, looking at him while supporting their heads with one hand. Their eyes still reflected the resentment they felt for him.

As for the five sets of dinnerware on the table, they remained untouched.

Evidently, everyone was waiting for him to have dinner together.

Realizing that fact, Lucian felt a complex range of emotions as he glanced at Roxanne, who had just come up to his side.

When their eyes met, she briefly froze before explaining by reflex, "Estella wanted to wait for you."

Raising his brows slightly, Lucian looked down at his daughter, who nodded with a gleeful grin as if she was taking credit for it.
