The Abandoned Wife

Meanwhile, Roxanne had delegated Madilyn to pick the children up to Madilyn as she promptly headed to the meeting.

No sooner had she stepped out the door than she saw Jack's car at the entrance.

At the sight of her, he alighted from the car and took a look behind her. Feeling slightly disappointed, he inquired, "Are the children still at school?"

Roxanne nodded. "I got a friend of mine to pick them up. Is there a reason why you want to see them, Mr. Damaris?"

Jack casually nodded. "I've brought them some gifts. But since they're not around, let's just forget it. I'll personally hand them over the next time I see the boys."

The fact that he had prepared presents for them surprised Roxanne, for she didn't expect him to be so attentive.

"Since you have gotten them the presents, it's only right you hand them to the boys yourself." Roxanne pursed her lips into a smile upon regaining her senses. With that, she turned around and headed toward her car.
