The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 1057 Could She Stay a While Longer

There were several instances where Roxanne wanted to speak, but she decided to keep silent after remembering what Sonya said. The fact that Lucian was at the scene as well did not help.

On the other hand, Archie and Benny were incredibly anxious. "Stop it, Mrs. Farwell! Essie is crying her eyes out!" exclaimed Benny, who was on the brink of bursting into tears himself. Pursing his lips, Archie quietly walked to the middle of Benny and Estella to hold their hands. Lucian stood opposite the four with a deadpan expression, only half a step behind Sonya.

Seeing how protective the two boys were of Estella and how Roxanne remained silent, Lucian frowned once again. "Even if you don't want me, you should have no problem going with your father, right?" Sonya thought she was being quite reasonable, but as soon as she finished her sentence, she heard her son's indifferent voice.

"Stay out of this. I'll take Essie back," uttered Lucian. When Roxanne heard that, she reluctantly shut her mouth. Then, she glanced coldly at Roxanne and Lucian before turning around to walk away.
