The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 551

Roxanne was stunned as she instinctively recalled the sudden kiss on the stage at the mention of Sleeping Beauty.

"Ms. Jarvis?" Jerking out of her reverie, Roxanne forced a smile at Estella before telling her the tale of Sleeping Beauty.

The child paid close attention and fell asleep shortly after Roxanne finished.

Covering the child with the quilt, Roxanne lay down beside her.

Although she felt physically tired after running around an entire day, her mind was still in restless turmoil when she closed her eyes.

She couldn't help blaming herself despite having found Benny.

Aside from that, Estella's mention of Sleeping Beauty kept reminding her of the kiss during the play, and she couldn't seem to shake it off her mind.

Despite lying in bed for an indeterminate amount of time, Roxanne could not fall asleep.
