The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 629

At that moment, Lucian approached the group and looked at them quietly. When Archie and Benny saw his arrival, they shared a look and greeted him after some hesitation. "Good morning, Mr. Farwell."

Lucian cocked his brows and reached out to pat the boys' heads. Roxanne had wanted to ignore Lucian's presence. But hearing Archie and Benny greet him, she figured it would be an unsightly behavior to continue to pretend not to see him when Pippa was around.

With that in mind, Roxanne looked at the man and uttered placidly, "Mr. Farwell."

Lucian turned his head and made eye contact with her. "What a surprise to see you sending Archie and Benny today when you've just recovered, Ms. Jarvis."

I thought she'd hide from me again after the incident yesterday. That's why I got Essie to hand the tickets to Archie and Benny and, in turn, help pass them to her afterward. What a surprise to meet her again that soon, huh?

An odd look crept up Roxanne's face when she sensed the underlying meaning in the man's words. Nevertheless, she tried to stay composed and forced a smile on her face.
