The Abandoned Wife

They got in the car after walking out of the restaurant. Lucian sat idly in the car for some time without starting the engine. Roxanne gave him a puzzled look.

Lucian smiled in response. He didn't say anything else and started the car.

The kids were still perplexed because their father didn't give them a response.
