The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 997 Win Her Over

After staying up the entire night, Roxanne got up super early the next morning. She wanted to leave as soon as possible for the research institute because Jack was scheduled to deliver the medicinal herbs on time.

Hence, she did not want to keep him waiting. With that thought in mind, Roxanne tried to stay awake. Upon getting dressed, she went downstairs, only to be greeted by two concerned children at the dining table.

Roxanne sat down next to Archie and Benny. Then, she gave them both a peck on the cheek like she always did. When she lifted her head, she noticed faint dark circles under the kids' eyes.

She frowned immediately and asked, "You two didn't have a good night's sleep?" The boys shook their heads, feeling guilty. Benny answered in a piping voice, "I had a nightmare and caused Archie to sleep poorly."

Though feeling groggy, Roxanne could tell that it was just an excuse. She snapped her brows together and said, "You can come over and look for me the next time you have a bad dream."

The little boy nodded obediently in response.

Thereafter, Roxanne said nothing as she started eating her breakfast.
