The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 866 Why Does It Matter

"Mommy, why did you come back by yourself? Where's Mr. Damaris?"

Although they did not like Jack, they brought him up to distract Roxanne.

Roxanne shook her head. "Something cropped up, so I returned first."

Hearing that, Archie and Benny heaved sighs of relief. However, they could not help but worry when they looked at Roxanne's expression.

Roxanne was worried about Estella, so she was not in the mood to chat. She said to Archie and Benny, "I'm sorry. I feel slightly unwell. I won't be able to bring you guys out to play."

Before she left in the morning, she had promised to bring them out after she returned.

If I had reached the Farwell residence earlier, I might have been able to bring the three of them out together...

Roxanne was filled with remorse.

Archie and Benny could feel the sadness in Roxanne's tone. They smiled and said, "It's okay. We only said that because we didn't want you to leave with Mr. Damaris in the morning. Mommy, if you're feeling unwell, you should come in and rest."

As soon as they said that, they wanted to support her to the couch so she could sit down.

However, Roxanne stood still.

She had only returned home to check if Lucian had brought Estella to her place.

Since there was no sight of Estella, she did not know if she should stay or head back to the Farwell residence and wait.

Archie and Benny noticed Roxanne's hesitation and shared a look. They moved forward and grabbed one of Roxanne's arms each.
